Other than that ive got nothin bud, just hope one of us is close enough to back you up.

I do have a serious question though ( ); Im having energy issues.
Ive just built a shipyard and can now build solar satellites. Are they worth the Deutronium cost if I launch a couple or should I be concentrating on researching the different energy types first?

how close are you to fusion reactors they are a lot better you can also reallocate your resources to get your energy back to up.
as for the satellites im not sure

Solar Satellites are good for when you need a boost of power in the "now" sense .... in the long run you will want to switch over to fusion power better returns for your money.

Danm it, now i'm one and one, though at least i managed to take out the cargo ship before my defences bought it, managed to keep his salvage down to 16 of each. Bwahahahaaaaaa! :twisted:

Whats the tech route to fusion?
Is it research lab > energy technology?
If so, that the route im heading in next. Ive launched a satellite in the hope it will boost my flagging power issues.

Edit: found it; forgot about the technology link.

I now have 3 RLs and 9LLs guarding my universe 20 planet, 5EPs, 2LFs and 4SCSs. I think I’ll rename my planet "Port Royal", cuss I'm building a pirates paradise! :twisted:

I am in the process of building heavy laser cannons, plasma cannons and shields will be next.

Man, I wish I could play as much has you, I'd be unstopable than. :-(

does anyone know if light fighters can harvest debris fields?

No i believe you need a Recycler for that.

Tue Feb 19, 2008 12:25 pm

oh well two light fighters for defence then.

Buld cargo ships! Go raiding!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for meeeeeeeeeee!!! :twisted:

I have a ring around my planet from cargo ship debris :twisted:

I'm going for the Cruisers.

In less than an hour, I'll have enough metal to upgrade my deuterium extractor. Then I can build L.2 robotics tomorrow, and finally a spaceport! (I know I'm behind, I started less than 24 hours ago). Time to get back to homework! :-P

i destroyed the second and third VRS attacks in the first wave mwahahahaha, i need a recycler, i have more junk around my planet than in the bin outside lol

Evry time you fight you get more an more..... The more junk (crystal and metal) the more the chance you'll get a moon!

Leave it up there! Moons are good! Jump-gates, here I come!

You can build on moons!

I defeated my first hostile raiding party.

2 Light Fighters vs 4 Light Laser Cannons.

No contest. Though he did damage one of my lasers.

Do Defensive Structures repair automatically, or do I have to order repairs performed?

Tue Feb 19, 2008 4:09 pm

Damn it! All these probes i keep getting are starting to chaffe!

Word of advice about the Fusion Reactor:

Make sure you are running at the lowest capacity you can without going negative.

If you have an energy surplus, you're wasting Deuterium.

News Credits: 42 · Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:06 am

OK, alliance boffins, its time to see where this is all going...

I have both mines at L7, Deuterium at 6, Solar power at 9, robotics factory at 2 and shipyard at 1, and I have a 2 rocket launchers for defence. Ive also researched Computers (1) and energy tech (2).

Do any of the more experienced members of the alliance have a suggestion as to where I should head now? The choices seem to be:
a) Epionage followed by a load of light fighters to invade the neighbours.
b) fusion reactors, build up a shitload more resources, then dive straight into bigger ships.
c) build a buttload of armour on my planet and wait for the suckers to come to me, and save the repsuces for the huge ships.

Im currently leaning towards b. Think thats a good way to go?

News Credits: 1 · Wed Feb 20, 2008 7:39 am

depends are you getting attacked or probed a lot?
I am doing c I am in the proccess of researching laser techbology so I can add some light lasers to my defense before I go attacking anyone yet

Nope, had no contact from the rest of the system at all that I know of, so I think ive got a bit of time yet, but my energy crisis is getting irritating.

I have less power than the Welsh Assembly currently. Fusion reactors just cant come quick enough...
