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.

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?
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-->

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.

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

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.

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.
man this sucks i really feel so unprotected b/c my empires so spread out, now its all hecktec and busy i liked it more when i had mty own 6 planets and i was restful and happy and peaceful on my res incom and fleet builidng up slowly, now its news everywhere and hell! ahh!
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]
Dont worry Eediot, it wont die, it will just slip back a few pages, before someone will have a question or need to vent some joy, and then she'll be back <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
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.
My planets are being destroyed by the day. I need emergency assistants. I offer 100, 000 Astro dollars for the safety of my planets by destroying rosko2k. PLEASE HELP!
i doubt you can afford 100, 000 astros though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
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.

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.

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!
