Slight change of plan:

But I can't carry all of the resources!

I'll be taking away a meager portion sadly (I've got 5 SMs inbound, and I'm sending another 2 soon).


So if any of you guys have anything lying around, get in there!
I would love if someone could transport me a little more of the spoils; but as long as I get some of it, you guys are welcome to it!

I have posted this as a circular message (I think), and on the alliance forums under 'help' in uni 20.



I have figured how I can take out the planet's defences, losing just 3 LFs.


Sadly, I can only muster 10 SMs to plunder the planet afterwards, so a large portion of the loot will be left behind.


So I'm asking anyone available to get their cargos over there and cleaning the planet out!


I request that you guys just send a small portion of it to me, since I've done all the work.



NB Send your ships now. My fleet will arrive shortly, and my secondaries about 15 minutes after that.


NB Send recyclers too. There's gonna be a fairly big debris field.

Dunno, didn't care.

It was just enough to make me decide for certain what to do. Believe me, i've recognised the addiction building for a while and knew I had to do something eventually, I just needed that little push.

dont quit bro! Especially for that reason, or I'll have to admit my wife is right! come move to the 5 galaxy, its a bit nicer ther, and ues all your assets on defense on the planets you now have.

I did the same thing with Astro Empires when I played. It got to the point where you had to tutle your base during a time of war, which the guild I belonged to seemed to be in one on a weekly basis with the larger guilds. But if you were aligned with a guild, you were used as a farm or had the option to be assiminated into their guild.

It got to the point where one night three of my planets with my biggest defenses and ship production were taken over. I quit right on the spot. I got tired of wondering if I am going to get taken over as I sleep as well. Plus it was less fun with the threat of being a larger guilds farm and unable to do anything about it because they played the game since the beginning and I came in a year later.

[City Commander]

I made a slight miscalculation

I somehow figured I had 5 cruisers rather than 3, so the first round ended with the opponent having 18 RLs left.

The second wave got destroyed before I could recall them (6 SMs, 5 LFs)



Thankfully I could save 5 SMs. Today I built 2 LCs, 5 LFs, 2 HFs to make up.

So I lost half a day. Ah well



I wouldn't go as far as to quite. Why not plonk a colony down next to some other members of the alliance instead?

People seem to be missing my point. It wasn't about getting beat down, it's not about having security. It's about the addiction.

I got heavily addicted to Civilization in high school, so much so I pretty much failed.

A few years ago when HMW started an addiction kicked in, but I also took it upon myself to bring some justice to this game and pursued certain members who were blatantly cheating. That in it's self caused a lot of pressure and problems. So I backed off (they didn't though, but that's when they shot themselves in the foot) and learnt to just play and have fun and enjoy the game and not get obsessed.

oGame was heading the same way. I turned my neighbour in because he was breaking the rules in regards of planet naming! That's pathetic of me when I could have toughed it out but instead I took the easier route.

nah, i've seen what sort of person that addiction makes me and i'm NOT going back there again.

It's why i've NEVER tried WoW.

[City Commander]

ugh, WoW. That's all the bloody pea brains talk about at college.


As long as you can justify it to yourself, then it's fine.
Pretty funny move that too, turning em in for offensive names

Certainly saves losing cruisers in actually beatin em up


Sticking around for the chat though?

[Burn]

I've got plenty of time to spare.

But in regards to your problems, you're attacking too soon. Hit up some inactive planets and build up a fleet. Nothing wrong with having 10 Cruisers and 4 Large Cargos on stand by.

And yes, you want LC's as 1 of them = about 4 SC's and are significantly faster. I kept the SC's around for hitting undefended inactive planets and sent my LC's with the Cruisers for the big hauls.

[City Commander]

It made me think quite alot of small man syndrome. I tried attacking someone higher up the rank than me, and I kinda payed for it.

I guess it was no loss really. I've pretty much replaced everything (since I lost no HFs or cruisers).

I'll just stop dealing in SCs, and just make LCs.


SCs, from now on, are delegated to moving resources between colonies.
I've just started hyperdrive research, so I'll have BCs to back up the cruisers on raids soon.


The only bad thing to come of this is that one of my two fave farm worlds is now under newbie protection. Shame, I used to get 10k met and crys and 5k deut from him per trip, and he never tried to resist


I've just got the fleets hitting up known farm worlds for the rest of today. I'll build a few more cruisers and LCs tomorrow.

[Burn]

I'll have BCs to back up the cruisers on raids soon.

No you won't. You need 160k in Crystal for a level 4 Hyperdrive which will be the final step in getting BC's.

I was halfway and that's what attracted the attention of the 55BC's that pummelled me.

When you go for it be well defended and be prepared to move your resources around A LOT.

[City Commander]

Sounds phun!


Looks like I'll need to leave the resources to accumulate for a week when the time comes. In light of this, I will not mess around with hyperdrive research for now.

I'll go out their, raid some farms, build a fleet of cruisers, raid more farms, builds gauss cannons, and then start saving.


Thankfully, I've got Daneki, Ravelt, Tekka and swiggyraider in the same system as me. So if I do become targetted, I'll have somewhere damn close to disperse my resources to.

[Burn]

I never got this far but would it help to have a Alliance Depot for each of you? That way ships and reources can be moved around and you can all work together to save up for the big advances.

[City Commander]

I dare say it would, especially since we're all so close together.
I'm still only 2 systems or so over from Daneki's homeworld...



I might build a depot tomorrow. It couldn't hurt!

[Burn]

steve, where the hell are your defenses? A few heavy lasers should be able to deter 10 HF's!

[steve2275]

being destroyed
also why i dont build ships
cant get those back
its a waste of resources

[steve2275]

AKD Princypal Wing of Getica alliance
probed me
pcb(s) ghost same allianceat 1 294 6

the admiral is at 1

no action as of yet

[Hermiod]

Burn, is he in uni 20, i can help ya "exterminate" your bug problem with my fleets.

tell me what time he use attack you so i can attack him when he is offline

First thing when he get online and see his fleets gone and you finally farm him for now lol.

1 heavy laser
thats it
hey hermoid
can u kick thrilled ass for me?

Is Thrilled ass in uni 20?, pm me ingame my name is Hermiod and i will see what i can to do.

Also everyone are build ships correct, it is good for raid other player for profitable but these ships are easy wipe out if you attack someone with a fleet hidden around the orbit then you lose 5k to 6k points. I recommend stick with build mines/research until you unlock most stuff like plasma tech level 7. Cause you are waste resources on fleets which can be use for research/mining.

I do not start build main fleet until i was got 20k points ( cause i have unlock destroyer at 18k points) i got near 150 Cruisers, 10 Bombers (still build them), 25 Battlecruiser, 25 Battleship and i am take a break for a while and build the defense on my colonies to the points where you think i do not have any defense thanks to my higher espionage tech and you think it is safety to attack but there are 1k RL, 1k LL, 500 IC, 250 HL, 50GC, 10 PT, 1 small and large shield await for you. lol.

I think high rank people in uni 20 who probe me and plan to attack me will waste of time cause i will move/spend resource on something and they will waste 30k to 60k deuterium on the deut consume of fleet ( remember a deuterium worth 3 metal or 2 crystal) so if they are attack me, they will lose 90k to 180k of metals or 60k to 120k of crystal try to get half of my resource which is make up of 100k metals, 80k crystal and 50k deuterium. So they capture 50k metal, 40k crystal and 25k deut while break through my defense.)

So i am unprofitable to attack and send IPMs to me are waste of time cause i will have 40 AMBs ready and will restock it everyday.

So just stick with defense and research, it is worth your times, it will enable you have good future later on.

[steve2275]

its almost been a week since he(thrilled) has attacked me
its the guys in 37 i hate
and you are not in 37

[quetzalcoatl]

Steve, I'm in galaxy 5, so right now gal 1&2 are too far from me. However, if your problems lie within the 4-6 gal range, then start sending me coords and I'll see how I can help!

To be honest I'm playing to many games I might go on a long vacation from this soon.

Dibs on farming your res.

In less than an hour, I'll have battleship tech ready in u20.

[City Commander]

I'm just pumping all my res into defence now. Building up lotsa stuff to keep me safe while I save.


Shields are all up and running, and I've got 5 ICs and HLs a planet added so far (on top of the RLs and LLs).



All my local farms are teh suckage now
They don't churn out enough res a day to meet my demands. So it looks like I'll have to start going further out into the universe.
