Pootling along nice and slow in my corner of the universe

I'm surrounded by people constantly in vacation mode. How am I meant to get decent resources when the cowards do that?

Errr... build mines?

Man, it takes 13 hours for my colony ship to get from Galaxy 1 to 5...

I am, but it takes sooooooo long! :sad:

I'll just turn inwards for a few days. Not upgrade or build anything other than mining facilities.

The trick is to have more colonies, and upgrade the lowest mines allways, and make them to even levels.

I hit a gold mine just before bed last night.

A few sectors over was a planet, the guy had given up and changed his name to indicate he wanted to be farmed.

Over 50,000 in each resource. So farm I did. Woke up this morning with enough resources to research a level 2 hyperspace drive, build 2 Gauss Cannons and upgrade my crystal mine with the left overs.

Unfortunately everyone else farmed him as well. :lol:

where's this farm?

Oh, as for ASGARD, their website claims they focus on technology, not war.. so how about we locate all 9 members and offer them some tech?

....preferrable in the form of several large fleets looking for conquest

excellent news you could say we have an alliance to our alliance. after chatting with the person i battled weve settled on an agreement and were not exactly merging alliances but well lets say if we get attacked theyll help and vise versa

I'm not the one that wanted your location, I want the freebies! LOL

although you did catch the alternate plan...

Freebies? From ME?

And that's without my fleet!

So I thought i'd pay him a visit .. :twisted:

The attacker has won the battle!
He captured 39.944 metal, 32.785 crystal, and 411 deuterium

The attacker lost a total of 0 units.
The defender lost a total of 28.000 units.
At these space coordinates now float 0 metal and 0 crystal.

Would've been nice to snare some deuterium but i've got a fairly decent supply at the moment. It's the crystal that I REALLY want.

And yes Caelus, i'm around that area if you're still looking.

Information on Defense:
Name Plasma Turret
One of the most advanced defense weapons systems ever developed, the Plasma Turret uses a large nuclear reactor fuel cell to power an electromagnetic accelerator that fires a pulse, or toroid, of plasma. During operation, the Plasma turret first locks in on a target and begins the process of firing. A plasma sphere is created in the turrets core by super heating and compressing gases, stripping them of their ions. Once the gas is superheated, compressed, and a plasma sphere is created, it is then loaded into the electromagnetic accelerator which is then energized. Once fully energized, the accelerator is then activated, which results in the plasma sphere being launched at an extremely high rate of speed to the intended target. From your targets perspective, the approaching bluish ball of plasma is impressive, but once it strikes, it causes instant destruction.

Defensive facilities deactivate as soon as they are too heavily damaged. After a battle, there is up to a 70 % chance that failed defensive facilities can be returned to use.
Structural Integrity 100.000
Shield Strength 300
Attack Strength 3.000
very inticing
prolly a bitch to build tho

Well played sir. I'm trying to figure out what the balance is when sending in attack craft. 1 hf beats defending 1 lf, 2 defending lf defeat 1 attacking hf, etc.

It's simple really.

Look at the defenses structural integrity, shield and attack strengths and multiply that by the number there is.

Then look at the structural integrity, shield and attack strengths of your own fleets and multiply that by whatever you have to send.

If your figures are greater, you should win. But you need to stop and think about what weaker ships you'll lose. It's not a victory really if you win but come away with no cargo ships.

Yeah or you could just go here and simulate the battle

A way around that is to send two fleets at your target. The first is your offensive fleet to breach their defences. The second is a cargo ship fleet, timed to arrive just after the offensive. If you win, you let the cargo fleet plunder and pillage. If you lose, recall the fleet. And if you're feeling cheeky, you can time a recycler fleet to arrive just after that to claim any debris from the enemy fleet you just destroyed :twisted:
