    You should have waited to send your fleet. You should have actually concentrated on energy, before even starting with the maths.

    Maybe it doesnt defay phyisics, if your just constantly accelerating untill you neeed to start decellerating. It wont take THAT long. Only problem i see, is travelling faster then the speed of light. In which the whole universe is going to come crashing down around us.

    Sorry, I haven't been as active lately.

    The politics in my sectore are getting increasingly demanding.

    This game is science fiction - Think star trek or star wars, where could travel to other star systems in a day, using warp engines which while we don't possess now - could be a real thing.

    Energy is only upgraded on ships that are not in flight - so yes you will have to wait until they get there.

    Physiscs however upgrades the weapons immediately.

    CWAG: I'm obviously not an expert on this game, but I'm led to believe transports are what you need...

    TRANSPORT:
    A necessity for all galactic domination types, the Transport will allow you a planetary invasion.

    Trained to kill the Population and save you the infrastructure, each transport decreases the Population Level by one.

    If the population is set to zero this way the planet can be conquered.

    so for the lvls

    Can he spend all points? If so bleed his other colonies til you have 60 B's 100 C's 600 D's Go over kill - its the best form of attack.

    Otherwise. I suggest at least 10B's 10C's 100D's. That should probably do the job. Especially if he has a fleet there.

    While this is great for lower levels, first impressions told people that going beyond level 15 which was 20.58% of the original to level 16 which is 18.53% would not really be worth it. A saving of 2% of the original.

    However AR provided this alternative way of looking at it, in which my opinion is always a good way.

    For a journey that takes 10 hours if you upgrade a level of energy it will only take you 9 hours. I am at level 15 energy now, and I still have journeys that take a day so It would be good if I could shave an extra 2.5 hours off that journey. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I am sorry transmission,

    But for the colony ships debacle, could you please post a more choronological list of events.
    Let me get this right?
    Did you send the colony ship, to an unoccupied planet
    What defeated the ships that were sitting there? Did the colony ship arrive after or before the battle?
    Was your culture high enough?
    Is the planet now colonised?

    I am really confused as to exactly what happened. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> so I can't really try and guess to why it didn't colonise.

    As for the spend all PP's planet, 21/39

    Could you please post the planet at the top of your list (star system co-ordinates and planet #ID) and I should be able to tell you.

    Regards

    I figured out the problem with the colony ship, I simply resent it.

    The planet at the top of my list is Planet 2 at 25/41. I want to send points to Planet 9 at 21/39. Will the send all points function only work if I have Planet 1 in another system?
  • es_quatroes_quatro Join Date: 2003-06-18 Member: 17468Members
    Transmission, 21/39 is closer, than your current system -> hence you should be able to spend all points to any planet in that system, providing you only have 1 in the system. Going to the lowest would be good thing, which I assume you are doing with planet 9.

    Regards
    Es Quatro

    Please bear in mind that working it out this way has not always been correct with star systems that are almost equidistance from the centre, but I believe this is not the case.

    AHHHHH!
    this is driving me MAD!!!!
    this one guy "KingCold"
    Has now upped his star base to level 8 and I know hes going for level 10!
    I am gonna need a freaking HUGE fleet to get rid of him!
    Its all my fault too. I have given him 3 player levels due to small fleets that took 2 days to reach him. By the time they got there, he had enough D to stop them, then taking the EXP he got from the win, he was able to defeat my MUCH, MUCH more powerful fleet.
    Not to mention my own cocyness cost my 12 Transports in total thats 720 PP I spent when I sent my fleets.
    Now I need to make a Fleet of B's and C's to do anything to this guy.
    I already have 5 c's and 20 D's, but I need to plan for a level 10 SB at this planet when I attack.
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I am doing very well right now.
    I have 5 planets at level 10, all my sciences (80/h) are at level 13 going on 14
    and my 2 other planets are in 2 other systems.
    I am also taking over 2 more planets as I speak, but I don't have enough Cluture (30/h) to take them yet.
  • UltimaGeckoUltimaGecko hates endnotes Join Date: 2003-05-14 Member: 16320Members
    I'd like to comment now that, besides the 3 planets I don't have the culture for (yet), I control my star system. Anyone that wants one of my planets can fight through my wall of 20 Cruisers and 5 Battleships (and numerous destroyers...I find money is better spent on cruisers). Not to mention the star bases.


    I feel safe....but...need more...ships...

    I would like to put out an all-NSers alert on patch79 and Satanik_boy. They have BOTH (they're from the same system) been attacking me since I started, and it's REALLY ANNOYING! I was clearly at a disadvantage, so there was nothing I could do! I've had a very nice person called diskmedel helping me, but now they seem to have yet another ally, selenite, although he doesn't seem to be as big or nasty.

    All 3 of them have sent fleets to me at the same time. One I can easily hold off. Another will be extremely close. The third I have no chance of winning.

    Tbh, I don't think they expected me to last this long, and tbh I have felt like quitting several times since I haven't seen any sign of coming off the defensive since the game began, but I WILL NOT LET THESE FRENCH BULLYS WIN! AAAARGH!!! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> DIE FRENCHIES DIE!

    Ahem. No offence to any French people here. I have no problem with the French in general, but I do have a problem with THESE french people. Theyre ganging up on me and it's not fair ****!

    If you can lend your support, even if it's just in the form of astrodollars, I would be extremely greatful.

    So to clarify, the baddies are Satanik_boy and patch79 at Almuredin (-36/-10), and selenite at Wazn (-37/-6). They also have some of my planets at Alpha Achird (-39/-12).

    In case you hadn't guessed, they're French.

    All my base are belong to them. I have no chance to survive, i'm making my time. Ha ha ha.

    Mmmh, Nil IQ, I am at (-46, -20), so that's just a little out of reach for me....

    I control my system, I got 6 planets and all competition is dealt with.
    Now, I'm just building/upgrading all of my planets, I'm already pumping out 90 PP/hour though.
    I got some bigger players scattered around my own system, but once I upgraded all of my starbases to 10 and I got myself a considerable fleet, I'll go and visit some of those players and try to find out whom I can ally with.

    Nil IQ, whats the name and x,y location of your system.
    I am guessing its close to these other guys.
    I am no where near you and I don't have any Astros to spare sadly.
    I don't even have a player level yet.
    I also have spread my self thin and am already in 2 other systems then the one I started in.
    I was lucky and allied with a good french guy (they do exist)!
    Also my sector is very low populated.
    There are only 4 guys in my close sector that scare me and we are allies with one of the stronger, closer ones!

    I have news. Not sure if y'all will like me for it though. I just conquered a planet in my system (by force, I didn't colonize it.), but this has upset my system mates and they now want to war with each other and conquer their respective planets. They're both almost equal in fleet rating, but I don't know which to side with. And I'm afraid that if I don't side with either one, they may turn and try to take me out.

    Hmm, sry about that Nil_IQ. I would have sent you some A$, but it seems a little late.

    Simple, side with both. Then the one that sounds better in the reply will be your permanent ally. However, if they start talking to each other, you could be in trouble. If you want a less risky option, use the path of extreme prejudice, and select by country, personality, science/culture level, login amount, etc.

    I was just attacked! They destroyed my fleet at my newly conquered planet, although there were only 2 destroyers there. But I'm under attack none the less! My coordinates are 48,39. Any help would be appriciated. The attacker is Bogger78, one of my system mates who wants to attack my other system mates.

    man, you guys are getting mutilated by hundreds of battleships, and here I thought my problem of not being the first one in my system to get two planets was bad... =P

    how the heck does one even get enough PP to build a decent fleet?? my planet is the best in my newbie system, I think, and my production is only coming in +14 at a time... so... it'd only take me, what, 2 days to build a battleship? =/
