Astrowars members of SWF

[Thomas712]

Thought maybe we should start another thread to keep track of us SWF/Astrowars members.

So is anyone ready to start a trade agreement or alliance yet?

How goes the battles in your home planet?

[Nas19320]

Not good for me. Here's the latest news:

18:20:54 - Jan 16 We lost Beta Rastaban 7.
18:17:57 - Jan 16 Attention !!! We have evidence of an incoming fleet around that time.
8 Transports
going to attack Beta Rastaban 7!
We suppose its the Fleet of hellblast.

[Nas19320]

Looks like I'm starting over.

[007]

I am in Beta Antecanis 1, 2, and soon to be 4. User= MrX

I would like to enter into an alliance, but I dont know how?

[Buzz]

I'm there as Buzz.

[Thomas712]

Hey Nas - I'm not sure what happens when you get defeted, do they just give you a new planet or what? Or do you have to do something else?

[Unknown]

OK I have spent a total of 7 pp's on hydroponic farms and it only says I have one building is that normal. and when should I start to buy ships for my fleet there is a total of 5 of us in my system now?? Also how do I start an alliance??

Vince.:happyfish

[dzones]

I am only about 5-6 days in and will be taking my first planet late tonight. My username is dzones and I am in -20/62. I have no clue as to alliances yet. One step at a time so far.
Interesting game though I must say.

[iceburger]

i am addicted, getting ready to own my third planet tomorrow... my name on there is iceburger...i say we get a SWF.com alliance together when everyone gets to that point, so far no one in my galaxy has had the nerve to attack me...

[sammystingray]

Here's a hint.......siege ALL planets in your system after you have made friends with everyone left. Usually only two players keep up and own the system. I made a big mistake by not doing this. Someone just sieged a free planet right next to me, and I have no idea who it is. My Co-system owner, and fellow alliance member, is supposed to PM me if he plans on doing anything, and he didn't, so I have to assume it hostile and sent a fleet. The key thing here though is this. If someone attacks me from a system away, I got plenty of notice and time to do something, but if he attacks a free planet next to me, I get NO notice until he gets there, and he can hit me in three hours. A single destroyer on every planet makes people wonder what's there, and of course they'll go for a free planet in another system close by rather than have to GUESS what has the planet under siege. I blame myself. If my ^%$#@#$ alliance member sieged it without letting me know.......he just cost me what should have been a new planet this morning and probably about twenty wasted points........I basically HAVE to consider this hostile since it is only hours away, and it could hit me in my sleep.......I had to bring my fleet of over 300 ships from another system back home to prepare for war, and this leaves my "sucker" planet open. By sucker I mean that I had a fleet of over 300 cruisers and destroyers sitting there with a low starbase so people would attack it not knowing........every other planet shifted gears from points to defense.

I sent a single destroyer at the siege to see who it is, and in an hour I'll let you know if my alliance member is an ^%$#!!!!

[sammystingray]

OH, if you missed it....instead of sending a fleet DIRECTLY at your target, because they will get instant notice, send it at a free planet close by, and then relaunch as soon as you get there.....they'll only have a few hours to try to defend. This is what I believe someone has done to me.

[sammystingray]

Oh again......I had 12 colony ships ready for a new planet this morning.....to get it started fast, but since a possible war might be going on.....I sent them instead, as fast as I saw the map, to the closest planet to the siege so that I could use the PPs in an effort to up the base.....I will NOT be happy if this is my alliance brother who didn't bother to tell me that he was going to siege a planet next to mine.:mad: 12 colony ships is 720 PPs. :eek: On a brand new planet that is like 165 PPs to start with when everything is cheap at 5 and such......

[overanalyzer]

well I own three planets and I am in an alliance with Sammy's brother (who owns half my star system). I have built out three planets and will be getting a fourht sooner or later. I am just sending small fleets of destroyers to get some points built up. I believe everythign in our system is either sieged or waiting. My whole goal in life is to go in and toast this canadian punk who kicked me out of a neigboring system ....

My name on AW is Overanalyzer and I am in league with Monster (sammy's brother) and these are hte planets I can currently see:

Alpha Asuhail
Alpha Aschere
Beta Al Athfar (HOME SYSTEM) - co-ordinates:60/14
Beta Arrioph
Beta Muliphein
Beta Rigel
Beta Hyadum II
Beta Alnitak

Vince.:happyfish

Vince - one the right hand side of hte bar it will tell you how many more PP you need to get to the next level of that item - usually 5 pointsz fo r level 1 then 8 points for level 2 and so on....


also you can spend you PP on multiple items - near the top it will say something like where to spend #/(total #) od PP

The first # sign up there is changeable (click, delete insert new number)

HTH

[lobstergrabber]

I had never heard of AW before you guys brought it up but it reminds me of something we use to play on the old dial in bbs's years ago just more advanced. I thought I would give it a try looks like it will take a little figuring out though.

Rich

[littleguy]

I'm in Beta Media 4. Not really sure what I'm doing yet though.:)

Forgot. My name is peanut7

[Unknown]

Thx over analizer I figured that out after I posted my post??:joy:

I am in Beta Izar 4 and my Coords are 39/65 can anyone see my system??

Also how do I colonize Free plants in my system?? Like what ships should I try to buy first??

Any tips that will help plz let me know.

Thx

Vince.:happyfish

[aarone]

hey guys...I play too i just have not had time to post ;)


Im in beta akrab 10

anyone else in or near my system?

I click map and i can only see my planet

[Thomas712]

If your culture is 2 then you can colonize a free planet by sending one colony ship to it.

I would try to have at least 5 destroyers on my planet at first, but don't forget to dump everything into Robotics at first and get that up.

Get social up to level 10 then go for mathmatics to level 15 then physics to level 15. You can spend a few hours on the others as you see fit in between but you will need math for the crusers and physics for the battleships.

Thomas
:ideclare:

[overanalyzer]

to see more planets build up your biology science.

To colonize I'd recommend 1-3 colony ships on an empty planet (each one you send instantly adds 15 PP to the planet's treasury).

To expand faster build up your galactic cybernets .....

I build destroyers and send one to the planet you wish to take and siege like sammy was talking about above. Then send your colony ships when you can!

[Thomas712]

Well I got suckered. Tried to take a guys planet that only had a 4 starbase and I figured that 6 crusers and 42 destroyers should do it, nope he shot that starbase up to 8 or was it 9 before I got there and I only took 30% of what he had. Dag nabit. :mad:

[iceburger]

ouch...

[gollus]

hey im on the astrowar also, name is gollus, just took my third planet. In a system with a french guy, a german, and some guy that is never on. -65/8 are my cordinets i belive. Oh and im able to ally with people i think. Though i dont know how.

[lobstergrabber]

Thomas or OA got a question

I am in day 2 and not sure where I should be heading.


pop +4 lvl 3
hydro lvl 3
rob fct lvl 4
gal net lvl 1

I have 5 pp's left and am at a +7 rate


Biology lvl 1
social lvl 3


What should I be researching science wise? I am set to biology now trying to increase view on the map but not sure if it it too early to worry.
Also not sure whether I should build mor cybernets, farms or just keep pushing at those robotic factories.

I also read soemthing about alliances and trade aggreements. I have not seen any options just assuming I have to have something I don't yet have to do either.

Rich

[007]

My system is now down to two people in it and we have formed an informal alliance. I dont really know how to make it oficial, but we came to an agreement. Good timing too becuase our system is under attack!!!!

I dont think they know what they are stepping into. . . .:evil:

[Ross]

I just joined a couple days ago. My planet is Beta Alfard 4. I dont' know my coordinates. I have been spending my points on robotic factory. How do you enter into an alliance?

Rich

Rich - study socal for now and I mean study it, put it on there and let her rip for a couple of days, or what i did was study some other things during the day when I had time and put it on socal at night for 8 or 9 hours. Get socal up to 10 or 12 so that the population will not hold you back from getting more pp per hour.

HInts: Building labs will reduce the amount of time it takes to study science.
Building the cybernets will reduce the time for your culture.

But pour what you have into the Robotic factories first to get the pp up per hour. My first planet is up to +25 per hour and it should be more, I just screwed up as I learned I guess.

THomas

[Unknown]

If someone is attacking you and the battle is about to begin what do yu do just site and wait or is it like you are in the battle killing things??

Also can more then one fleet attack you at the SAME time??

Its all goin good

Vince.:happyfish

[Thomas712]

Normally seperate fleets come in at different times, last guy who attacked me sent three different fleets when he should have put them together for one strong fleet. He lost each battle seperatly giving me time between them to stock up and repair anything that went wrong.

You will get text telling you what happend in the battle if you were the winner or looser.

Thomas

[lobstergrabber]

Thomas is there anyway to speed up the rate you gain population?

Rich

[j21kickster]

Um..... What are you guys talking about:notsure: :confused:

[Thomas712]

Originally posted by lobstergrabber

Rich

By building hydroponics but I have yet to go above 7th level of hydro buildings, if left alone they should simply be enough. You can bump them up even more but when the pop reaches its max then you get 0 output for population and you will wish you had those pp back.

Thomas

Confusing at first but then you will get the hang of it, use this as a practice round and when the next round comes up you will be notified and you should be able to keep up with the big dogs....or its just a big waist of time...sigh...what can I say...boys will be boys. We play this game and still come home dirty. :laughing:

Actually you should sign uo here it is much easyer and takes you step by step http://www.astrowars.com/register/?r=30920
This will show you how to sign up it's REALLY easy.

I love playing this game it's kinda slow the first 3-5 days but I starts to pick up pretty fast:yes:

Its great

I know what you doing thomas and I want those PP's too I need them more. I am stil working on my first planet:mad:

Haha :hilarious we will see were they sign up "SINCE MINE MAKES IT EASIER TO DO".:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :

[sammystingray]

The referal bonus is VERY little, and it only adds to culture.

[Melody]

I've been playing this for a couple weeks now and like a good little 'nest builder' I have worked on my planet. But sorely lacking on defences.:rolleyes: I've been attacked twice by the same fleet but don't know where it's coming from.:mad: So when it's gives a warning of incoming

fleets how do I defend my planet?:help:

I have 58 pp to play with now and I am gaining them at a +12 level.

Rich

[lobstergrabber]

I think I figured it out by playing with the battle calculator. I was able to get it to where I have .97631 chance of winning against his 9 destroyer which I have decided must be a very small attack. Anyway I figured that to do it I would have to bump
physics to 2
starbase to 5
and 4 destroyers.

I tried a bunch of different ways but this seemed to be the best chance to win and the most xp also. If I missed something let me know please.

Sounds good!!

I would suggest to Melody that you find someone in your system who has a fleet and send the a PM begging them to come. I would head over there but you are wayyyyy to far away and my science levels are not high enough to get you out of your siege!!

Good luck!!

Kickster - sign-up and figure it out a little bit - fun and not very time intesive. Like old BB games of diplomacy - with space stuff!!

:party:

[Unknown]

How do I send my fleet to attack some one the guys has not done anything to his planet and I have three destroyr's and a colony ship. I need to know how to send a fleet to attack his planet and I f I have to how to call a ship back??

It says I have to verify sending them??

Thanks for the advice OA, I'm sending pm's to the two planet's closest to me. :)

[Unknown]

NM I figured it out

[lobstergrabber]

Beat my attacker, gained 27 exp and only lost one destroyer and one star base. Also gained 3 s/u not sure what to do with them yet but seems you can buy building levels with them or sell for money. Would it be wise to just bump robotic up 3 more levels or should I sell them and buy artifact?

Rich

[sammystingray]

3 SUs are worth around 700 astrodollars, and after the day it takes to get it, you can then buy PPs with the astro dollars.....about 1800 PPs. Would it take 1800 PPs to get the 3 robotic factories?:D Sell them.

[lobstergrabber]

Thanks Sammy. That is why I asked. No clue.

Rich

[overanalyzer]

I'm starting t o platue I need to get to the next level faster than I am ... Should I start looking @ building a fleet and just randomly attacking folks????

[lobstergrabber]

I am assumint you have snatched up all the free planets around you?

Rich

[overanalyzer]

yeah I either have them colonized or they are sieged ... I need to get some more levels upwards so I can settle more!

[lobstergrabber]

I figured as much but was not sure. I have wait another 33 hours before my culture goes up to 2 so I can start reaking havok. Can't wait. But today is only day 3.

yea i have been using free web translators, but sometimes those are not always correct, especially in the tenses, IE whether he is saying I will attack you or We should attack someone

[fender]

Allright i signed on. I am fender and have no idea what to do. I got a hydroponics farm and now I don't know what to do....

I'm at 21/68 I think. Beta Metallah 7. Do I just wait until I get more points to spend? There are 3 others in my ummmmm galaxy or space or system or whatever.

[lobstergrabber]

Fender,
just see how long it will be till you can built the robotic factory. And login when you have the pp's. each one you build gives you one more pp an hour. Just keep buying Robtic factories and after 3 factories buy another farm and go bcak to the factories. Also get your science on social and just forget about for a couple of days. It is hard in the beginning because yu want to do something you just have to set up a good base system first for growth.
Thanks to all the others who helped me.

Rich

[Unknown]

ya I totally agrre with lobster on that one.

[G13]

How do you know how many farms or factories you have. By the level number? I am in level 3 for farms and level 4 for robotics.

Geedupj in Beta Cajam

[lobstergrabber]

start jamming up those robotics.

Rich

[Unknown]

If yu go to planets and there wil be a words underneath you overall stuff. you will see building click it and it will tell you how many you have.

Vince.:happyfish

[lobstergrabber]

Took my first planet tonight. Wish I had sent more than 3 colony ships just for the pp's to boost the start off. They gave me 30 to get it started I guess but it's still like starting again.

Rich

[overanalyzer]

hey also siege the surrounding planets in your system so no one else can come in and take them!!

[aarone]

im kicking a$$ right now. I am in beta akrab 10 and i am seiging like 5 planets at once!!! each with 5 destroyers...I made sure to take out the newbies HAHAHA!!! gotta get more supply units and turn em into PPS!

[fender]

Ok. I think I have figured a couple things out. I have a farm, 3 factories and a cybernet. I also wasted a few points toward a colony ship before I realized what I was doing... :D Anyway one of the other peoples in my area seems to be active but the other two haven't done anything in a day or so. Should I be actively working this thing or just let it go for a day or so?

[Melody]

WOOHOO....I'm back in the saddle again!!! :D :party:

[lobstergrabber]

Just sent out 2 more fleets tonight to attack the other guys in my system that have been idle for days and not playing. Hope I can get some su's to help build up my newest planet.

Rich

[gollus]

Oh man this is great, through my great diplomatic abitities I have secretly formed an "alliance" with the german guy, and formed another secret "alliance" with the french guy. I then told both of them seperatly to help me attack the other guy, So I got the french and germans waisting all their supplies killing each other, and not watching me. I have now sieged all the free planets in our system, and have started on planets outside of our system. Oh and I just got to be able to build battleships, now researching economy so they are cheaper. Muahah before they know it I will crush both the french guy and the german. And neither of them even see it comming. HAHAAH this is why this game is fun.

[G13]

I have a couple of questions.

Whar are su's?
How can I get su's?
To seige a free planet can I just send 1 destroyer? No one else in my galaxy is keeping up.
How many transports should I send over to colonize the planet?

[Thomas712]

Supply units
Win battles
Yes
You do not send transports to colonize planets you send a colony ship. TRansports will reduce a planets population to 0 and then you will win the planet.

Thomas

[G13]

Yeah that's what I meant colony ships.

So, how many colony ships should I send over to start colonizing the planet?

[Thomas712]

In my opinion one with a couple of destroyers as escort. Three colony ships if you want to convert 2 of them into pp, but its a loss, 60 points for a colony ship = only 15 pp. So if you send 3 colony ships you will colonize the planet with 1 and the other 2 get converted into pp for only 30pp but it will cost you 120pp for those 2 colony ships.

[G13]

Okay guys, hows this look...................

population is at +5 lev7
farm- 4
factory- 9
cybernet- 6
lab- 7
base- 4

Science is at +14
biology- 4
economy- 3
energy- 1
math- 5
physics- 0
social- 10

culture is +6

Science is currently on math. Going to keep it there till I reach 15 then switch to physics. That's what I picked up from you guys. Should I be concentrating on something else???

oh, and 1 destroyer. Small fleet but deadly!!!

[Ross]

I joined 8 days ago. I built a few destroyers and colony ships and transport ships and they are on there way to a free planet next to me. How am i looking? What should i focus on?

I don't want to say do this do that because I am a beginner but if it was me I would be spending every available pp on robotic factories trying to get those pp/h up because it will pay off in the end.

[Unknown]

Quick some one plz help. I have sent a fleet of ships at one of the people in my system. I pm'd him and got no response for I sent a fleet. Today he pm's me and says he will be my allie.

I need to know how to call off the attack and bring back my ships. SOME one plz help.

This attack won't kill him but his pop will go down and I will lose all my ships. I dont want that.

Some one plz help ASAP they attack tommorrow at like noon or something.

Write back ASAP PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ.

Vince.:happyfish

[lobstergrabber]

Sorry vince I have no clue how to do it. I would send him a message and let him know what hapened and just take the experience.

Rich

[Thomas712]

What's done is done you can't call off the attack. pm him and fess up or just wait before the battle and then pm him and explain that you have already sent the fleet.

[G13]

Colonizing my first planet tomorrow. I only sent 2 destroyers and 1 colony ship. No one else in my galaxy is trying to upgrade their planets. I'm really not ready to take a free planet but I want to find out what I have to go through.

[Unknown]

Yeah I told him what happened but it was good that My culter was not ready to have a 3rd planet. I just sent my ships from his planet back to my planet and he still has possesion of the planet(I burned all of his surrpluse and his pop. is 0 and starbase is 0. But he will rebuild.

Thx for trying to help me guys.

Quick question is it better to spend and SU or an building upgrade or should I sell it and convert thos Astro Dollors(AD's) into PP's. I want to upgrade my RF to level 14 and I need like 1200 PP's to do that what would you do??

Time to put your pp into your starbase and any additional fighter that you can. Start with the starbase. You can see what he is sending use the battle calculator to figure your chances or what you will need.

P.S. isnt monster Sammy's brother?

Vince.:happyfish

Use the su for your robotic factory, don't sell it at this point. Its worth more as an su right now, you would only get about 700 or so pp for it, you can burn the whole su in one stroke on your upgrade and go straight to level 15.

[sammystingray]

ummmm...... errrr...... yeah, "monster" is my brother. He shares a system with overanalyzer. I can't really tell him what to do or how to play the game though.


This round is soon to be over I think. "Snakepit" is gaining points fast, and I think he'll start the countdown soon.

[007]

My alliance and I just unleashed the FURY on the neighboring system!!! IT'S ON!!!!!!

They all went and attacked some newbie system, so while they are doing that, we are attacking them!

Ha Ha Ha HA!


:evil:

:flame:

[aarone]

im ready to start an alliance...how do i go about doing this?

I am in beta akrab 10 12 9 8 soon 4

I am also about to take beta alathar 11

I want to make an alliance with one of the other players who i have not attacked yet. Where do i start???

[overanalyzer]

Yeah Monster told me he was going to strike out .... interesting. Can't wait for the following round - this was a good learning session.....

Hey sammy - is everyone automatically regenerated??

[G13]

Just got home and logged on to astrwars and my colony ship has colonized my first free planet.:jumping: My question is what should I put my pp's into? Same old robotic factory? Also, I clicked on to science and it shows exactly what I have on my home planet. So, putting pp's into the lab of my new planet would be a waste or is it an easy way to get to the next level?

click on his/her name in the planets list of your galaxy and send em a PM

[Unknown]

once you have talked to that person you want to ally with and they agree with you. You can make it official buy going to trade then agremment then follow the steps from there.

I will be making the SWF.com alliance in a matter of days just got to get some SU's sell them for some Astro Dollars and there I have a alliance:joy:

Vince.:happyfish

[Ross]

So who exactly is in the swf alliance. I take it is sammy, overanlyzer, who else? I would like to join with yall. I talked to monster and he didn't know that i knew sammy and it was too late when he found out. He said he won't attack anymore.

[Unknown]

No one is in it yet Ross I still have to make it. I will be making the SWF.com alliance in a matter of days just got to get some SU's sell them for some Astro Dollars.

If you want in you have to pay 10,000 astro dollars to get in. At least that is what it say you have to play to start one.

Vince.:happyfish :happyfish

[overanalyzer]

sounds good but check out the high scores on there - snakepit should be getting close to 500 any time now ...

right now I have 139 points - what do the rest of you guys have??

[sammystingray]

I joined the RTFM alliance awhile back. Maybe next round we can start sooner and get a good one going for SWF.com.


Also, when I joined them.....it didn't cost anything??????:confused:

[Thomas712]

I believe that in order to start one the founder puts up 10000 astro dollars, then he is the CEO so to speak and can invite someone to join. Its up to him if he wants to charge a fee or just needs someone to join for what ever reason. Don't quote me on that as I'm not positive.

[lobstergrabber]

I thought an alliance was free and a trade agrement was 10,000 a person.

Rich

[Thomas712]

Maybe that was it, you could be right lobbstergrabber.

Hey guys whats the largest fleet you have attacked with so far?

I just put one together thats 13 battleships, 14 crusiers, and 52 destroyers I will be attacking soon.

[lobstergrabber]

Wow. I have 50+ destroyers enroute right now. I need to start researching physics so I can get some other ships I guess.


Rich

[G13]

I've been colonizing some free planets but was wondering what type of fleet would I need to destroy one of my many deadbeat neighbors? Pop 1 and base 2. Also would I get su's for winning the battle? If so how many and what is the best thing to do with them right now since it's early?
In what shold I invest my pp's on the newly colonized planets? So far I'm building 3 robotic factories and then 1 farm and back to 3 fact etc., etc.,.

[lobstergrabber]

your pp investment strategy sounds good. If they have a pop one and 2 starbases then you won't need much to take their palnet. 1 colony ship one transport ship and maybe 5 or 6 destroyers. As far as s/u's are concerned don't know if you would get any or not they go on player level. you get one every time you move up a level and each level requires a little more xp to attain. Good luck

rich

[Thomas712]

Planet level 1, with a level 2 starbase will take a min of
1 transport ship and 3 destroyers, and the planet will be yours. No colony ship is needed. If you send 1 colony ship with them then it will sit there UNNOTICED I blelieve until you send another colony ship in which case the two will dismantle into 30 pp for you to spend.

That's pretty good - right now I have about 15 battleships and 20 destroyers sitting in reserve and I will unleash them soon. I will be shooting for 20 battleships and a 50 destroyers. Need to research up and get cruisers!!

I played this round wrong - next round I think I will be better set-up for it!!

Agreed I sure have made my mistakes as well. But with this group we should be able to comunicate our errors and be stronger when the SWF alliance goes into affect, no matter how far we are away from each other, we can aid in sending astro dollars or something to each other if possible.

BTW I won my first fight with this fleet, a seiged planet which was colonized before I got there. I earned 65 experience points and didn't loose a single fighter. I am now going after one of his pop5 starbase 4 planets. I expect to see the starbase go up if he logs in in time. Should be just after midnight tonight.

[iceburger]

so i just sent 250 destroyers to a guy with a level 10 starbase
you think i've got a good chance?

[Ross]

I'd say so. I had like a level 8 i think starbase and 120 destroyers and 4 battleships took me out easy. I only killed 15%

Just replied to your PM - I'll join up with you - I think Monster is in as well. I just want one planet in your system to use as a luanching pad to attack the surrounding systems. So I think me and you and Monster are all now in an alliance!

[sammystingray]

I think I will finally get into the top 1000 tomorrow.....it is NOT easy because at that point there are many very good players. Anyway, I'm happy.

Since this was the first time I've played, it's probably better that I didn't start on day one in a system with the experienced guys. I can't wait for the next round.:)

There's no way for me to win of course, but I want to finish as best as possible.

How is everyone doing!

[aarone]

im just sending a last ditch effort...20 destros and 8 battleships to a neighboring frenchman. He has been battling me all game....Im going to win :evil:

What do the artifacts do?

[lobstergrabber]

The artifacts give you bonuses. Each one is different. I think one of them gives you plus 10% of the science you already get an hour and the others are for the other things. I think the heart of mana does them all.

Rich

[overanalyzer]

Hey Ross - check your PM's I am working out a triple pronged attack with you and Monster - if you are agreeable!

Let me know!

[G13]

I seem to have a little problem in my galaxy. Someone has seiged a neighboring planet of mines. I think it might be one of my dead beat neighbors who has come to life in the last week. My question is how can I find out who seiged it? Next question is when I get into a battle and the planet I'm invading has a pop of 7 does that mean I have to take 7 transports along side my colony ship to take over the planet? Also, If I seige the planet through the air can the person still build on the planet?

once you siege it they can't build. Yes on teh transports - colony ships do you no good - you take over what they have already ...
no way to tell without attacking

[G13]

Overanalyzer, thanks for the response.

I'm wondering what I should invest my science time into. I'm currently at......

Biology-9
Economy-10
Energy-8
Math-15
Physics-15
Social-10

Science is at +68 per hour

I also heard that if I was to be attacked there is a certain way I can send my fleet up to the attacking fleet and catch them by surprise. If so how can I look into that. Thanks,

Build social - don't know about the other thing - anyone else??

[lobstergrabber]

I think I heard somewhere that your ships return faster than they go to attack. THis way you can recall them and have them waiting on the enemy. I think I would research energy some more since that will also speed ships travel.

Whoever attacked left without colonizing.


I'm thinking of sending an attacking fleet to my neighbor. What are my chances of winning?

My fleet is made up of.....

Battleships-6
Cruisers-10
Destroyers-61

He has.......

Pop-7
Starbase-10

I'll send 7 transports and a colony ship once I seige the planet.

What are my chances? He is the only other guy building in my galaxy. There is one more guy in my galaxy but he is a deadbeat.

Should I wait and build or can I take him out? Let me know ASAP cause I'm thinking of sending my fleet tonight.:flame:

[lobstergrabber]

Just send em over. I quit sending transports and colony ships since I think the game is fixing to reset anyway. I made one huge fleet and sent them to planet one in a galaxy and literally just attacked from one all the way till the end and then sent them back home for reinforcements. I figure just get the experience and player level up before it resets.
