    lots of them make accounts but never actually sign on and play; already wiped out one guy like that and the other's just suddenly woken up. He's still going to see the splendour of his burning starbase slipping down through his atmosphere in ashes as my transports unload fiery cleansing apon the land though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Nother question: What level math do I need to get an hour statement on my arrival time, and how much XP do I get for wiping out an AFK player? I need level 1 so I can roll in some donated dough.

    you don't get any xp for actually wiping out a player or stuff; just for winning fights based on what you killed. There's a chart somewhere in the glossary that should tell you the specifics but you only get xp for wasting, destroyers(3), cruisers(24), Battleships(60) and Starbases(depends on their level). you'll level up just from killing a starting space station though =D
    4 destroyers will definitely win and if they've not signed on you'll only need 1 transport so hurry now while it's cheap lol

    CWAG said I need to occupy it to get the XP, true or false? Well... either way, tonight at 1:25 AM I'm building a transport and I'm going to 'rub him out'. Note: 3 destroyers and physics of 6 ought to do it?

    And do I get any PPs he hasn't spent?
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    according to what I read false, but CWAG might know better than me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    uh-huh, 3 and a transport should do it, though I sent 4 and these days I send 6... because I can <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Okay, I'm starting my eventual takeover of my system. I've got one empty planet just under my clutches and I've got two transports over to an AFKer. I have a feeling the kraut and the ruskie are going to be less then happy with this turn of events, so I'm going to need any spare change you can throw my way. PM me if you want to give to the war effort <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I don't want anything like the 100,000,000 BCs greypaws asks for... just 100 PPs or so.

    BTW: IF A TRANSPORT EVER SEEMS TO DISSAPEAR WITHOUT HAVING ANY EFFECT: THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE PLANET STATS ARE UPDATED WHEN THE USER LOGS IN. An AFKer might look like he only has 1 pop, but if he's been AFK for long enough, he might have up to 6, and you'll never know, except for the fact that your transports keep dissapearing! Stupid, eh? GO **** at them in their forums about it!

    Holy god you're like 20 feet away from me, -50, -26, Alula Borealis

    My army's motto: "If it wasn't called Sex, it'd be called Borealis!"

    Anyway, if you want, we can pool resources (I'm a tiny bit behind you) later, and take over Cornu which is right between us. For now, my hands are TOTALLY FULL. I have two people in my system and they don't look like they want to give up.

    107 Destroyers - combat value [2 attack + 1 defense] = 321
    11 Cruisers - combat value [8 attack + 16 defense] = 264
    21 Battleships - combat value [36 attack + 24 defense] = 1260

    all up thats

    1845 combat value

    a lvl 13 starbase is 774

    well, i just got to get around 2500 combat value to be sure, then i attack! hurrah!

    edit: im assuming he has a small fleet pocketed away, but chances are he has a huge fleet waiting to be sent out, also for defense purposes [this is a tricky ****, trust me]

    how big would his fleet be? he is sending 20 Battleships at a time to attack my friend <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Teflon: I think you need about lvl 8 or 10 Math to get an hour estimate

    Smokenova: Colonize, colonize, colonize.

    eediot: The current fleet you have should be able to take that planet out, but it's his fleet you have to worry about. He should have more hiding at one of his planets. Good luck.

    anyone else find it a bit odd you can tell how many people are living on a planet with your super mega scanning abilities but you can't spot a fleet in orbit? The ships have to have a crew after all so the fact they're bio scanners isn't much of an excuse =P

    I need the $$ cause a guy whos ranked in the 2xx had my system sieged my system, thanks to the help of the people who donated I was able to break the siege. He will counter attack soon, and If I dont have the cash to stop him I'm doomed. Thats why I ask, even 1500pps worth of astros helps me a ton, and thats not that much for the NS members who expanded without a high level jerk beating them up.

    So if you got it send it.

    Ok, to capture AFK planets, you need transports?

    and to colonize unused planets, Colony Ships?

  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    Before you expand everyone, might I suggest you simply take out your whole system. You will find it annoying with planets in other systems, lock down you entire system before you even think of going into another one - whether you split it and need less culture, or take it yourself [you big man you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->] and need a much higher level culture [but you can afford it cos of all the culture levels u got from the planets hehe]

    I am getting my virtual arse kicked hard by some guy who sent 17 battleships at one of my only two planets (still been learning the game). He attacks the weaker one first, which only had one battleship, while I build up to about six battleships on my starting planet.

    dont offer money you dont have though

    And also - dont be afraid to restart. Sometimes, restarting can be a lot better than fighting it out to the end and becoming completely disheartened like poor old maveric. If you think you are well and truely defeated, just resign and start up again, you will be amazed how much better your second empire is, with all your experience the second time round is always the best.

    If allies don't respond for a given time, the safest thing to do for your sake is to assume they are getting hostile.

    i put it down to:

    I would put it more down to your

    on-going fued, because you are building up your fleet.

    I have only really been upgrading infrastructure to make my civilization run like a finely tuned machine. Remember the more you spend on your planets the better they become

    It is such an advantage to take over planets that have already been developed (spend all points) becuase little time is wasted and these new planets surge ahead to get to par with the others. The quicker you can do this, the more beneficial it is. The other bonus is that you have a fleet when you aer down, to terrorize other players. So you can spend all points to.
