    name is o_O at Alpha Agentar I

    Me and the other guy in my system made an alliance: We are going to split the system 50:50 and then send massive death fleets to the system next to us and purge it of all life. Just took down an AFK for 1 supply unit and a planet, my ally is moving on the other AFK, who just became non afk <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    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.

    And WHERE IS MY DESTROY SYSTEM BUTTON ON MY DEATH STAR <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Does anybody have a Biology of over level 7? I want to find out how long it is before I can see more than just the immediate star systems next to me... Thanks.

    QUESTION: How is the pace for this game? I mean, I keep refreshing for new things to be available...Or is this like over-night egg hatching stuff.

    we need the coordinates of your home planet system.. jeez ><

    edit: how else are we supposed to know if we're near you and can ally?

    Whats the pace like? Am I wasting my time refreshing this window?
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    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.

    Fear the power of the UltimaGeckoDeathStar!!!! (by which I mean UltimaGecko's one battleship)...now if only I had my ships all on one planet I could take out that one dude in my system...bah.



    ...Anyone notice that if eediot edited posts instead of making new ones this thread might be a page or so shorter?

    I'll keep my coords to myself until other people, espcially eedio *sp* reveal theirs hehe.
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    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.

    Oi, rine01,

    You have been absent from MSN the past few days, I would call, but I can't find my phone, <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> and I know you check this thread more than any on the AW forums. 18 pages, dood, you should be proud.

    Anyway, I made a little generous contribution to the 'lots of awesome stuff for Avenell' fund. I had to resign Optimal's account, my allies went afk, and the competition in the center of the universe I was just not cut out for.

    You can now find me as RogerRamjet.

    Quatro.

    Not entirely true.

    For each 2 levels of Biology you will be able to see 1 X co-ordinate away and 1 Y co-oridante away.

To take control you have to reduce the pop to zero, then have a colony ship there to colonize the planet.

    Then your domination is complete!

    MUWAHAHAHA <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    This is not entirely correct and this may have been corrected but I am going to make doubly sure.

    Transports do indeed kill population in a ratio 1:1, this only works if you have to have a planet under siege.

    YOU ONLY NEED COLONY SHIPS FOR UNCOLONIZED PLANETS.

    If they have population 14 and you send 14 transports, providing
    A) he doesn't hit population 15 before you get there, (I always advise sending 1-2 greater than the pop at launch.
    B) You have the appropriate culture level by the time you arrive.

    you will take over his/her planet. No colony ships is necessary for the colonization. I recommend that taking over already colonised planets can work out 'cheaper' as long as the enemy can not spend all points there. This is because once you colonised it has all the previous infrastructure.

    yes bad luck indeed,

    there was also a lot of really bad decisions made, such as sending my entire fleet away from newly formed planets consequently them getting taken over.

    I notice a lot of player posting co-ordinates, can I mention to Marine01 or whoever is keeping track of the list. There is now a player search function in the <a href='http://www.astrowars.com/rankings/' target='_blank'>Rankings Page</a> Where you can bring up their stats, and effectively find their homeplanet as long as you know their AW username.

    But to save you some time you can find my fledging empire at

    Alpha Zuben el Genubi (48/-24)

    If the NS community (or the majority) is going to unite under an alliance. Then I propose that someone ask for permission from Flayra, or whoever the appropriate authority is to approach on the legal side of copyright for NS, and establish a Trans System Authority TSA in the Astrowars universe.

    Are you sure you are here eediot.

    I mean there is also Sulaphat located at (-9,3) I know this because this is where my final battles were fought before I was forced to resign.

    Maybe yo.....never mind it is Alpha Sulaphat. Marine01 really should double check the list, there is enough tools to find out where players are. and where the home system is.

    But then again, why do this when you can play HL on broadband.
