Beth,
Starting later in the game, I wouldn't be worried about rank. Play this beta just to get a feel for how things work.
Ty,
As sammy said, be sure to check into the NEMOs forums before making any moves. Coordination is key to playing in an alliance. All to often last beta, I had a couple of others that screwed up, and lost fleets, because they didn't check the forums to see what others where up to. Our response to them was the same each time, You should've checked the forum for updates.

Every population level gives you one more science per hour plus one more PP per hour, and every lab gives you one more science as well. I would work on farms and factories, and think about getting a new planet started.

Beth,
There's not really a way to get around that. What I have done is made my bookmark for AW incluse my username, and password. When I click the bookmark, all I have to enter is the security code:
http://82.165.38.217/register/login....t=yourpassword
Replace username with you username, and password with your password.

Stacy, yes that is what I do. But that code is annoying. What pupose is that for anyway?
Well, its been 2 days on astrowars and still things are very slow. Buildup is slow and no other active planets in my system. What about TRADE? I don't see that option. And money? I started on a colony ship. I should probably continue with farms and factories, but I'm tired of that. I only have 1 culture. I'm wondering if I am doing this right.
And to top it off, my firewall says that someone is scanning my ports all day. What the heck does that mean? :nope:

i wouldnt worry...chances are its just a simple program...unless they are specific exploitable services you are ok....
but.....someone could be doing just that looking for an exploitable service on your computer....
if you could, list all the services that you know acces the internet while you are at and away from your computer.
if you really want to be secure google the port with the words 'exploits for port ##'

Beth,
The reason for that code is last beta some people used programs to automatically log themselves in every hour or so. This way they never appeared idle, and they didn't need to worry about logging in to update culture. They where cheating basically.
You'll get the trade screen ounce you gain a player level.
What have you gotton built up? You could start getting a fleet together. Build 2 DS, and 3 colony ships, and launch to take a free planet.
Port scanning is normal. I wouldn't be to concernced about it. There are programs out there that people run, that randomly scan IP addresses for open ports. Than they go back later, and look at what ports are open. As long as you've got the router, the default settings should be secure.

Hey Sammy, or anyone else.
I suspect two players (or is it one) in my system are cheating. Like I said we have two French players who, strangely log in about 1 minute apart from each other everytime and log off from each other same time every time. They have the same race and bonus from what I can tell and there planets are almost mirror images of each other with regards to population and SB, they go up at the same time each time. Strange.
If I suspect someone of cheating is there anything that I can do about it? Someone to contact.

Both were at Player level 64% before they started to attack me and the German player in the system. Though it says that its been 4 hours scince they have been on I saw where they logged out just one miniute apart just like they logged in when I was watching. These people would have to have the same job hours or school hours and live right next to each other. One of them has logged on 6 more times than the other so I'm not sure about that, but something stinks, not because its not going my way either. These guys have attacked me and I now have one of there planets under siege so they are not doing very well right now. Thenelya has two planets and I have sieged one and it was he who has attacked me. After I took his planet all of the sudded while both seemed to be logged in at the same time the other guy pulled his DS off of sieged free planets and all the sudden they are gone, I presume that he has sent them closer to me or he has retreated for safty.
Still strange to me.

No ships yet, but working on colony ship. I think I must be doing something wrong because things are moving too slow. The guy in the planet next to me became active again; sammy was right.
How do get a pic of the status up here as a pic??

Beth, unless you are anticipating being attacked, starbases are not very useful, particularly early in the game when you will get lots of advance warning if someone is coming. Don't spend any more PP's on starbase for now. If you are going to have to leave an entire system undefended because you want your fleet to be available somewhere else, then go ahead and build up your starbase.
You can probably ease up on buying farms. Your population is growing quickly and you will probably run into the population maximums and your population growth will stop until you get your social level high enough.
I would probably get my labs and cybernets up to 5 or 6 and then buy more factories (or let your PP's build overnight and buy the factory in the morning) and then buy the other items during the day when you can sign on.
Here's my stats; (because I didn't log on before the update after two of my planets had their populations level up, it looks like my ranking slipped but I had 19 points which would still keep me in the top 20).
Name Pop Farm Factory Cybernet Lab
Alterf4 7 10 11 11 12
Alterf5 6 7 9 10 5
Alterf9 3 5 6 5 0
Science +33/hr
Bio=4, Econ=0, Energy=4, Math=2,Physics=2,social=7 (soon to be 8).
Culture 26/hr (-10% racial negative) =3 Will be 4 in 22.75 hours. I will have my fourth planet Wednesday evening a few hours after the update.
Yes, the game starts slowly, but see the difference that three days makes??? A rapid development can make a huge difference later on. Personally, I don't attack anyone early on in the game as it slows your development (unless you feel that you can impede an opponents development more than your own will be slowed. You see how long it takes to build a colony ship. I usually try to launch three of them as the price of new factories and farms will be much lower in the new system and you can get the new system built up much quicker.
Hang in there.
What countries are the people in your system from?
If you can find a friendly ally, consider launching a few destroyers at each other. The experience points gained from defeating each other's ships will get you to player level 1, a supply unit (which you can sell for ~$500 and then you can see a trade screen.
