It's all part of my devious plan ...

by **SlashAndBurn** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 8:44 pm

Ok so where are the majority of the members? Uni 20 or 37? I just have my planet in 20 and never even looked at 37.

20 is for babies who are too scared of a challenge.

Coming from the guy who's had a head start and needs his buddies backing him up to beat me up.

Yeah ... I stand by what I said.

by **Malicron** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 9:45 pm

I don't know if I need my buddies to beat you. I could tell you if I knew your bloody name!!!

So you want to have a look first before deciding on if you want to attack?

hmmmm ... no. I think I shall continue to torture you like this. Not knowing when i'm coming for you ... constantly looking over your shoulder ... perhaps i'll take you out first, perhaps i'll leave you until last.

Either way, you're not acting like a HMW Decepticon Commander, ready to face whatever is thrown at you, able to stand up against the unknown and NEVER shows fear. Toughen up Whiney or i'll make you toughen up! :twisted:

Ouch you wound me. :sad:

Oh wait...its just a scratch. :grin:

And thank you for NOT answering my question. Which was where are there more active members of the SEIBs? I dont have the time to manage 2 Universes so I want to know which one I should throw into.

If I knew i'd tell ya. All I know is that Whiney is scared of 37 and was preparing to run off and hide in 20.

The attacker has won the battle!
He captured
5.116 metal, 5.116 crystal, and 5.116 deuterium

The attacker lost a total of 0 units.
The defender lost a total of 4.000 units.
At these space coordinates now float 0 metal and 600 crystal.

And the best part is ... he's still got plenty more than what I took. :twisted:

Of course sending 3 light cargos, 1 light fighter and 3 heavy fighters against 1 rocket launcher might have been overkill. But I left plenty in reserve in case Whiney found me ...

-edit-

Karma's a bitch. Now i've got a neighbour heading towards me and he's ranked much higher than me. ah well, let's see how much of a rapid defense boost helps, at least he won't be able to farm much off me when i'm done. :lol:

Found a new player named "Dice", but he hasn't bothered to name is homeworld, which doesn't sound much like Burn.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:15 am

My home world is named.

But don't bother looking for Freak references.

Are you lot playing an actual game somewhere or has the fact HMW has been down for months corrupted your brains and you've created your own little fantasy world

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 7:00 am

No it's an actual game. Think HMW level 0 only slower.

As far as my fantasy world goes, the last I checked it included some guy called War Hammer posting. That's how I tell fantasy from reality because in my reality I don't even know anyone called War Hammer.

welcome to univ. 37! I joined less than a week ago, and have been focusing mainly on getting my resource collectors to level 8. I currently have 2 RL's and 5 sm l. for defense. Also working on espionage drones and gaining heavy lasers before putting together a raiding party.

Anyone got any good tips for building a successful defense?

If you had made a lot of cannons, be sure to research weapons and armor tech, it adds better survival-percentage to your defense.

I'm currently researching ion cannon, it has weaker attack but better shields.

It is also good to know that once you have a colony, you don't have to research everything there, researches are for universes, you only need to build the buildings that are needed.

The U37 Seibs alliance has 23 members, while the U20 Seibs alliance has 26 members.

U37 is more fun because you don't get to hide behind newbie protection. You also get to play Guess-Who-Burn-Is. (Assuming he's in U37, anyway.)
Let's go through the list and narrow the possibilities, what members of the alliance don't you recognize from here? I don't know:
Pathogen
Link5
Konighund
Colonel Brawl
Bristleback

So speak up if you're one of these players so we can get our answers

(My money's on Burn being Bristleback.)

(A) Burn wouldn't be part of the Alliance.

(B) Burn wouldn't be Bristleback unless he's running dual accounts. Which, again, not very Burny.

I'm thinking he might be this Bluestreak guy in my system. After all, who would think to look for him as a 'bot?

Q: Is the Heavy Laser actually better than 4 Light Lasers?

It has 4x the Structural Integrity, Shield Strength, Build Time, and Cost, but only 2.5x the Attack Strength.

Most of the guides I can see say to skip the heavy laser as it isn't very cost-effective, and to go straight into plasma based weapons.
(The same goes for the heavy fighter too, good in the startgame as a stronger ship but too expensive to be used as fodder when the cruisers start knocking.)
