im actually noticing i have no chance whatso ever in uni 37. By the time i get home, ive been attacked 8-10 times in the day, adn all my resources have gone so i cant upgrade or buy ships to defend myself. Its 3 days in a row now. tiresom is the word

Ok I've been looking through the oGame help threads and I think [url="http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=13884"]this one[/url] will be very helpful to you :]

You have no idea how satisfying this combat report was, guys:
The attacking fleet fires 1 times with a total firepower of 5 at the defender. The defending shields absorb 5 damage
In total, the defending fleet fires 4 times with a total firepower of 360 at the attacker. The attackers shields absorb 10 damage.
Attacker karamon ([2:193:9]) destroyed.



No way am I going to let myself be a farm
Unfortunately I'm going to be away from tomorrow morning till monday so on vacation mode I go, see you all next week heh

Ok the tutorial is a bit of a joke, any other good places where I can learn the ins and outs of the game? I mean I just discovered there are moons in this game. Moons! I'm still working on figuring out how to properly build stuff!

Build metal mines and solar plants until you can build the deuterium thing. Skip the crystal mine until after you build the robotics factory (level 2) and the spaceport. Each mine takes energy, and you won't need many crystals until you're ready for the research lab.

I think you've switched crystal and deuterium, it'd be a bit hard to get anywhere without crystals.

Maybe you're right. I did build a crystal mine early, but I thought it was a drain of energy while I was trying to get the deuterium to build a robotics factory and then a spaceport. I guess 11 energy for 22 crystals each hour is a good tradeoff, especially since you can reduce production (and energy use) in the resource menu. Now that I am working towards the research lab, I am short on crystals. I finally upgraded the crystal mine. I still focus on metal, though, to build a rocket launcher or two.

BTW: thanks for making me a member of the alliance, whichever of you did that today.

OK, decided to follow the crowd and open up in U37 as well. Same username, and I'll send a message to get added to the Seib alliance here as well.

[Bristleback]

Damn it! These probes are coming in at every angle.
Okay which one of you stuck a probe here sign on my planet?

I've been getting a lot of probes in Uni 37 as well.

[Symbiote Spiderman14]

same I am concentrating on defense I have one rocket and 3 lasers so far

[steve2275]

anyone here want my uni 37 resourses?
its better than being attacked and haveing an enemy have em

Does that appear in the events box, or do I have to develop something like a shipyard first to detect the probes?

I doubt I have seen many so far, my solar system is actually pretty quiet and low level right now (in U37), so if I play my cards right and move fast, I might be able to build up some major resources fast.

[Dragonoth]

I think I'll stay in u:20. There, it seems that people are too high in level to attack me or are too bored to do anything. I shall not partake in the frenzy that is U:37.

I'm trying do do both U20 and U37. I fig I'm staring at the same level on both, so if I make an oops in one, at least I'll learn from it in the other.

Hmm I don't think detection has a requirement you just get a message about it.

I sent a message in ogame to everyone, but just in case here's something cool:

ACS Defend: ACS stands for Alliance Combat System. This allows us to put our ships in orbit around a fellow planet to help with defense while the homeworld has a chance to regain a foothold. When one of us is in trouble we could all help by sending a few ships to help out.

How it works:

1) Look up the friendly planet in the galaxy screen.

2) Hover mouse over planet till menu pops up and select ACS Defend.

3) You are transfered to fleet screen to setup, follow making sure that the ACS Defend action is selected and also correct planet.

4) During the fleet screen setup there is an option as to how long the ships you send will remain in orbit before returning home. Set this as needed.

I think that if we get a request for aid we could all chip in a ship or two and that would give the player needing help around 10-40ish ships to help defend their world so they can rebuild and defend themselves. I tried it today with Daneki, but he never told me if it helped and my ships were only there for 2 hours.

Also you can use the fleet setup screen to transport resources to players in need this works I transferred a fully loaded small cargo to daneki this morning

The attacker has won the battle!
He captured
18 metal, 18 crystal, and 18 deuterium

Coward! The frenzy is the best part!
Its a new universe and everyone wants a crack at being the ruler.

Find whoever in the alliance is closest to you in the galaxy/system and work with them to build your resources/ships and defences between you, whats the point of going to uni20 if everyone else is already years ahead?

I only log on about 4 times a day; I spend all the resouces I have on anything I can build and return 6 hours later to follow up and spend out again. If they come for me, ive set up a few defences that will at least give them a headache and then ill rebuild.

At least in uni37 were more or less level with the competiton, and its not like we'll be all there for long anyway - come the return of HMW ill be going back to that as HMW is way more fun.
Lets just create as much destruction as possible until it returns.

[Chaoslock]

I doubt that the messages of passing-by fleets are from spy probes now, I've been the highest in rank amongst my universe and even I dont have the tech to build probes by now. I think they are just fleets going in and out of the solar systems.

I just want to learn the system and have fun. U:20 may not be as exciting in the long run, but I enjoy building. Also, it is where Seibertronians started, even if I was two weeks late. Maybe I'll join in a new universe after I've gained sufficient experience building a successful colony.

It would have helped if I was attacked during that time lol but thanks anyway, when I get back off vacation mode on monday I'll return the res. At least we know it works

*shrug* Its how im learning; in at the deep end in uni37 and im not giving up.

[Mogwai Prime]

Sorry Daneki, I didn't know if it was going to work at all, but I tried

Here is a link I found on the boards with an in depth explanation of the ACS System:

Another pleasantly quiet day of construction in my system. Developing impulse drive tech, so I can build heavy fighters rather than light ones. Almost at shield tech too, but that's in uni 33



I won't be attacking any of my neighbours yet though. I don't want them to know I'm rich until I have a solid defensive wall.

I won't be attacking any of my neighbours yet though. I don't want them to know I'm rich until I have a solid defensive wall.

And that's why I'm pulling ahead. Raiding can quadruple your earning power, and if you make sure to pick on inactive accounts you have nothing to worry about.
I'm going to build a Colony Ship this afternoon; I'll let you know how it goes.

[City Commander]

Colony ship? You're going to kill them and take their planet?




And you're pulling ahead of me because you had a four (five?) day head start you jerk
