you bet your boots I did =)

but i had no ships...sort of a stupid move on my part, I thought I would have been safe for another day or so. Boy was I ever wrong =(

Edit: I just checked, its at 5, I had ships waiting at a planet until I hit 6. What I thought was a good idea... until now :P

I did defete one of the smaller fleets, and am now lvl 4 w00h00

still taost.

beth

okay well I just signed up and I am messed with this game. I have a farm and robot factory building but is the deal that I just have to wait for my points to show up?

Just tring to figure this stuff out!

farms give you pop, factories give you points, cybernets give you culture.

pretty much just wait and start spending!

Good Luck!

Beth

okay one more quick one, what are planet points for, and can you spend them on anything?

planet points? or pruduction points...

So what do I do if I want to insure someone gets their arse whooped?

The guy that is basically annihilating every newb near and around him just sent me a message, after asking him politely for a peace. Basically telling me that I have no place in the game if I am just learning...

Other than sending him a message asking him if he wants me to help him remove that large stick from that really uncomfortable spot, what can I do?

can you see who he is aligned with?

Thanks, Beth

well I have kinda figured out production points, but it tells me when I look at my overview that I have two points (on the bottom where it said planets) I don't know that those are.

Seems kinda like a game that takes some time before you can really get into it though.

Those are the points that you ahve earned, determines player lvl =)

I cant believe this guy is such an arse. With the msg I returned, I am very sure that my astrowars days are over :P

So much for diplomacy o_O

well I wish there was a way that I could help, but I don't even have one ship yet, I stupidly spent all my starting PP on 6 robotic factories.

Oh well I am earning 2 PP per hit now, I just wish it was not so long of a wait.

Oh well looks like everyone near me is not playing so I may be able to kill them some time soon, if I ever figure out how?

Good luck hope you don't die.

For 41 DS and assuming he has a +6 Physics you only need a SB lvl 9 ... you can only tell a " oficial " alliance ... he may have a unofficial alliance with a few people ...

worse comes to worst just start over ( you will be placed on the outskirts ) and use a different strategy this time

Maybe for race go science bonus +1 ( + 12 science ) and -1 defence or - 1 offence ... that will give you a good start and then hopefully someone goes idle and you can take the base as your second or third planet

Trevor ... concentrate on factories and farms up to prolly level 5 at first ... change science to " social " immediately ( this will allow for higher population and higher PP ) ... first ship to build is a colony ship so try to get cybernets up next so that you can get culture up to 2 so that you can go colonize a " free planet "

Is there anything adventageous to resigning? Or is it just a matter of saving time and face?

Beth

PS trevor - I did that :P works well if you are out in the midle of nowhere I would think.

As you say it saves time if you are in a impossible situation ... just build up the SB as high as you can before you leave ( dont make it easy for him :evil: )

SB is at 12, and there are two of them :P

Yup resign I will.

What a pain =(

guess I wont be friendly next time and just destroy at will .


Beth

There are now 9480 players ! :eek: ... I am now up to # 754 woo hoo :razz: :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

After my restart I am now in the 4000's again =(

Ahh well, I may catch up :biggrin:

What are your coordinates this time Beth ?

Well I got to tell you I am super addicted to this game! I have gotten my 2nd planet and I am about to attak an 'unknown' planet next to me, but it has 6 starbase's around it, how many destroyers should I have when I attack?

PS thanks for recomending this.

PS is there a way that we can all ally up?

6 starbase.. ouch. you can use the battle calculator to figure it out. I am too lazy to do that, so I just send double :P

I am still, regratebly, at less than level one =( not much I can do for an ally, where are you in the system? maybe we will be close enough to help each other out =)

Beth

My main planet is at -69/-67
Gamma Sulaphat

Current rank #4070

Now sorry for the dumb question but how do I find/use the battle calculator?

On the *news* click on HELP. at the bottom of that menu is the battle calculator. You can just enter what you know, I believe an unknown planet has 0 science levels, but you can look that up in the FAQ - it lists what an unknown planet is all about.

BTW I am at Gamma Alfecca Meridiana (72/-27)

Beth

I will try to see where you are at =)

You will need 29 Destroyers to be 100% sure of victory ( Assuming science is zero on both sides ) ... however in order to take over the planet you will need transports equal to the population level of the planet ( ie. pop 4 = 4 transports ) ... one other thing when it comes to " unknown " planets is that they may still have destroyers circling them so send a bit more than you " need " to do the job :cool: ... Happy Hunting :mrgreen:

Cheers

well thanks for the tips, I guess I have to build a bunch of destroyers, I am at Math level 5 so I am closer to getting a new ship.

I must say it is a bit slow of a game but I think that it just takes a bit to get into it.

I hope you don't mind me asking some newbe questions but would it make more sence for me to attact a long time idle planet that is close to me with 2 star bases? And do you get stuff when you destroy a planet?

You get experience, and how long have they been idle?

I know it is illigal, but some players make like three chars in a row ( the last time i started a guy did this) under different names. Then they just let them idle away, and destroy them for xp.

Long story short - be careful who you attack. not to mention allies :P

well thanks for the tips,

No problemo ... ask away :biggrin:

I guess I have to build a bunch of destroyers, I am at Math level 5 so I am closer to getting a new ship.

At level 6 you will get a 50% bonus for fewer losses in battle as long as your opponent is at level 0 ( if you are 6 levels above your opponent you get this bonus ) ... you dont get Battleships till you reach Physics level 15 and Cruisers at Math level 15

I must say it is a bit slow of a game but I think that it just takes a bit to get into it.

Yea ... it slowly reels you in :razz:

would it make more sence for me to attack a long time idle planet that is close to me with 2 star bases? And do you get stuff when you destroy a planet ?

Most definately ... you get I believe 50% of the PP's ... then you can use the combined PP's to build a bigger fleet ... it really takes off once you can do that and also when you can got neighbouring star systems :cool:

My current rank is #2675 at Beta Wesat ...

We should band together for an alliance.

Sure, how do we do that?

Need a bit more XP and money to do a formal alliance... just know where we are and help out when we can until we reach high enough to form a offical alliance..

okay I am sitting here at work tring to read all the stuff on the web pages now but I hope I can bother you with one more question.

How do you know how far away you are? I know I can move my ships and click calculate time but that is only for the 8 planets in my system how do I go out side of that area?

To get outside that area, I believe you need to increase your Biology science?

My rank is only 2849 :(

OMGZ DIE :evil:

Sorry, a little bitter about starting over coming out there :P Guess I need to do less work and more astrowars reading!

I am now officially rank 4167 *cry*

I will catch up! I know I can I know I can I know I can.


Beth

What level are you trevor?

What happened Beth ?

She got beat up by another player....

sux.

Another player just invaded my system and luckily, killed a user next to me. But his starbase was a higher level then mine, so now I am scared! :eek:

Up to # 718 :mrgreen: :cool:

Okay well I hope that I am giving you the correct info, I am currently ranked #3998 and my "PlayerLevel" when I go in to the map screen and click on my main planet is 0 - 0% I think you have to fight to get this up?

Well Going to get my 3rd planet today, and mabie launch my first attack on an idle player.

Yup you have to fight to raise it at first, then it can be raised by trade agreements and the like =)

Good Luck on your atttack!!!!

Beth

Woah!
 

If you guys think you got problems. . .. I'm being attacked by two fleets on two different planets by two different players. 393 Destroyers on one of my main planets and 200+ Destroyers on another planet. But, I'm going to fight to the bitter end. :evil: :vamp: :snipersm: :2gunfire: [enemies]

good luck, wow I can only dream of a fleet that large!

Okay well I just launched my first fleet into battle (I did over compensate a bit just encase) the battle calculator said I will will no problem but I do I have to be online when the fight starts as it will be at 11:00PM tomorow night and well I will (hopfully as long as the baby is not up) sleeping.

it must be an alliance with money being transferred in to them. because, their own number of planets is equal or less than mine. either that or all these guys did for the last month was make destroyers! :eek:
