I've got a problem.

After 1 day of building I'm being threatened by someone who controls my whole system :(

Seems like I'm fvcked and will need to give it to him, but let me know if I have some recourse or if I can do anything about it.

He mssgd me:

I hope you give up this plant, I will give you resource. OK?

I'm at 1:370:5 if anyone can tell me what to do I'd appreciate it.... Here's what I saw when I clicked on the Galaxy tab. Apparently that uses Deut?... (N00b)

You really won't have to worry about him for a long time. He has 17,000 points, so he won't be able to touch you until you get over 3,000.

I've been reading a tutorial, but info like that isn't in there. Can you point me to a good source?

You cannot attack people with more than 1/5th of your points and you canno be attacked by people with more than 5 times your points.

Personally, I'd wait it out til later and then see how many resources he offers.

What happens if I surrender the planet? Do I start a new account?

I'm not sure. But if you were to wait until you were stronger you could make a new colony elsewhere and then offer it to him for a huge price.

is there a manual? the help was kinda disorganized. also energy question. if i'm using more that i'm making, will the resources
collect slower? i was thinking of stopping crystal and deuterium so i get metal faster. is this correct?

Their help sucks, try their forum. I just learned by poking around. You can go to Technology to see the upgrade tree.

If you are using more energy than you are making the production of all three will be lowered. You can also manually adjust the production rates by going into Resources.

What are the ticks on this game? If it says 100 for Metal, does that mean after an hour I'll have 100 more gold? Or is it some other time interval? I realize that it's a slow trickle.

Can someone explain/link me to an explanation of the galaxy screen? I don't understand all of the colors and letters. I'm sure they show how long someone has been inactive, but I don't know how to read it.

Well the little (i) means inactive for 28+ days (I think). But all the colors and other letters are a mystery to me as well.
wiz or anyone else able to help?
