This game needs much faster culture though, so there will actualy be a point to sending out fleets to capture othe systems, now you have to slowly take planets one at a time thanks to the culture slowage.

the pace is hours. like, youd be better off just checking once a day and then managing your stuff, then leaving it for another day. you may have to log on at odd times to attack ppl or do something special, but apart from that, slow. you can sort of tell how slow it will be, though... you start out getting 1 point per hour.

My biology is at level 8, I can see 2 star systems away....and Diablus and Blaqwolf are next to me.
The game is sortof slow, for your first planet you're best off checking in after 5 hours to get it properly buildings (5 to factory and then you have +2/hr from then on)....and when you're trading in points, err, don't accidently click cruiser instead of trade in for astrodollars....it's uhh....not good.

i have revealed mine.. first page, first post. marine01 edits his initial post with NS player contact info, so you can find out who is in your area and ally with them. however, a few certain PEOPLE *ahem* have been keeping coordinates to themselves, so we dont know where they are and if we can help them. ahem.
few people re-read through posts theyve already seen. very few. i only notice edits when its the last post and the person edited it before i saw the initial, unedited post. and with so many people watching it constantly, if i were to just edit it, so many people would miss my edit. i only edit if its within 5 minutes of the original post.
