I have 30 of my Battleships assaulting a hapiless system that's been recently torn apart by war, but is now rebuilding (but not for long...).
Question: when I attack another player-held planet, destroy the defenses and send in the transports to take out the population, do I then need to send a colony ship to it? Or will the ownership just revert to me once the last population unit is destroyed?

LoL my emergincy colonys ship had landed on 3 planets and he took them out one by one. he missed destroying those initialy by 4 min. lol I had launched them 4 min before his gigantor fleet came.

He tried to take my last planet but when I got word of his incoming fleet I pumped up my starbases and defeted him temporarily but he just came back with 5x the butt kicking.
lol guess its a good thing that the last thing I did before going to bed was to launch my fleet of 15 battleships, 10 transports, 14 cruisers, 2 colony ships and 30 destroyers to an empty system really far away.

I am not spending anything until I get my HoR2! The game might be over by the time I get it.
I made a handy dandy excel spreadsheet to calculate total attack, defense, and cost of your fleets. You just paste in your econ value and the ship numbers of your fleets straight out of the game, and it tabulates your attack strength, etc. The places where you paste stuff are highlighted in black.
A couple things:
<ul> <li>I'm not ENTIRELY sure I have the economy savings formula right, since I'm not 100% positive at what econ levels I got discounts. is it every 4 levels you get a discount, until level 18, after which it's every 2 levels? <li>I didn't include starbases because A) they say their defense values don't work anything like normal ship defense values, and B) I have no clue what the formula is by which they go up in starbase defense. </ul>
Any suggestions or corrections and I'll add them. Enjoy, those of you who have excel. Sure beats using a calculator.

Exactly what transmission said. Colony ships.
Grab as many planets as you can. I didn't even get destroyers till I had like 3-4 planets. Your opponents (if they're starting out like you) are also scrambling to get everything upgraded, so the odds of you fighting are low at the moment.
Well I sent a colony ship out to populate planet 8 in my solar system, I started on number 7. My long term plan is to first take out the guy on planet 10, then with the combined power of his developed base and the skill points Ill take out the other two. One more question, would It be a good idea to launch a force of destroyers with the only purpose to kill off their starbase for the skill points? Because right now I could easily get enough forces to destroy their starbase, but killing off their pop would be a much bigger investment... So should I just fly in and blow the crap outta his starbase and retreat, or just sit their and continue to siege his pop untill I get enough PP to conquer his planet?
Seeing as it takes <i>ages</i> for you to get anywhere at this point, and low level starbases can be boosted very quickly, attacking is a bad, bad idea at the start. And colonize up to planets 6,5,4,3,2 and 1 rather than down to 9,10,11 and 12. That way you can use the spend all points function.
that's what I do. I now control half my system. the other half is unoccupied. If someone gets created...I'll give them a lvl 2 starbase to kill so they can get an SU.
