sly3r in my solar system is starting to piss me off

:-x sly3r in my solar system is starting to piss me off

What is his usual fleet that attacks?

Also, I get messages that some fleets got sighted near my planet, are they spying on me?

[Symbiote Spiderman14]

1 small cargo ship 5 light fighters I had 2 rocket launcher and a light fighter but he took all but 1 rocket out

if it said something like this

A foreign fleet from planet Sans Souci [1:241:5] was sighted near your planet Desolation [1:241:10]. Chance of counter-espionage: 0 %.
I think that means they sent a spy probe to your planet

[Daneki]

Jesus christ, I haven't been able to even get to a computer since monday afternoon and I've had the absolute crap raided out of me in Uni 37. Something like 15000 metal and 10000 crystal, and another 3000 deuterium has been taken from me, my two rocket launchers got taken out with ease I can't even afford to get my defences up right now, I'll have to hope I don't get raided again while I wait for enough metal to build just one more rocket launcher for defense

[Dragonoth]

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?

I recommend building a few light fighters to test the combat system. You'll need combustion tech for fighters, cargo ships, and probes, and also espionage if you want to build probes. Anything else takes a lot of research. Chech the tech list between fleet and galaxy to see. Also, if you want laser defense while you're researching, you'll need laser tech.

Hope that helps! I'm only just building to my first rocket launcher and research lab, but I've spent extra time researching.

[Dragonoth]

I've only been playing for two days, and I will have the resources to build a rocket launcher and a resource lab in a few hours.

name: Dragonoth
planet: Excelon
universe: 20
location: 1:356:10
metal: 5
crystal: 2
deuterium: 3
solar: 5
robotics: 2
shipyard: 1

I've spent time out of game researching. Aside from the tech list, here's some info that may or may not be useful:

metal and crystal mines use the same energy at the same level.
deuterium plants use twice as much energy.
crystal mines output 67% as much as metal mines.
deuterium plants output 42% as much as metal mines.

solar plants generate enough energy for metal and crystal OR deuterium of the same level, or all three mines at half the solar level.


By the end of the day, I should be researching combustion drives. May I join the SEIB alliance?

[Ninjaburn]

Ok, I just joined the game as well and slowly getting my bearings. I'm figuring I should join the alliance sooner rather than later, but do I just search for the Seib alliance and post through that form, or on here?

Name: Ninjaburn
Planet: Trigon
Universe: 20

[Symbiote Spiderman14]

go to seach in game not the boards click on the drop down box an switch it to alliance then search for SEIB. Once it comes up click on SEIB and it will bring you to the allaince page where you just submit an application where someone can accept you.

[Ninjaburn]

That's what I thought, thanks SS!

[Ninjaburn]

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!

[Tammuz]

look in the ogame board.

[City Commander]

You'll get it after a bit of practise. It takes time, but you'll learn the ins and outs before the weeks is out for sure.

I caved. I have set both my planets in uni 33 and 20, and have opened one in uni 37. I will now be concentrating all my efforts in uni 37.


I have reapplied to the alliance, and look forward to raiding the n00bs surrounding my world.

i fell like being a noob asking this but can you own planets in other universes?

Yes, you can. I just can't be bothered to run three planets at once. I've decided to keep 33, as that's my strongest planet.



EDIT:- I've thought about it, and think this is the best thing to do.


As you know, I've prepped my uni 20 planet for demolition. However, if anyone wants it, then you are free to it.

It could make a handy farming world, or weapons plant.

[Ninjaburn]

Yeah I'm slowly starting to get the idea, and I'm digging around their forum when I get the chance.

Ok so what are other universes anyway?

[Chaoslock]

Ok so what are other universes anyway?

So far, I think other servers. Same game (although I heard that one of the universes is speeded up), but you can only reach people that are in your universe.

[City Commander]

One is sped up? As in shorter build and research time?


Do you per chance mean the pro galaxy?



btw, the uni 20 planet stand until friday eve. It seems a waste to let the effort disappear into the void.

That's what I was figuring too, but didn't want to assume anything.

Cool, I'm officially added to the alliance, but I can't seem to find a way to look at the member list. Odd it lacks that feature. Ah well.

[Pot Bot]

oops, i forgot to upgrade you to member when i accepted your application Nin, giveit 5 mins and you'll be able to see us all

[City Commander]

he


I'll see if I can fix it so that newcomers automatically become members.

[Malicron]

Danmd if I can figure out a way. Good luck, though!

[Daneki]

No way that I've noticed, but it only takes another 15 seconds to change the newcomers to members after you accept the application.
I'm watching the clock, I have a hostile fleet inbound and if I time it juuust right I can have an extra light laser built around 2 mins before they arrive! Just need that 1500 metal, I'm currently on 1305... like watching paint dry heh.

[Pot Bot]

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

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.

[City Commander]

Hang in there kitty!

oooooooo that was you 5000th post MB
