    hmm, when something is about to attack you, does a large fleet at the about-to-be-seiged planet help defend it?

    also if you drag over the map, you can see 9 distinct white spots on the screen, which are obviously galaxies where others are playing. does that mean that there are only 9 places in which you can respawn?

    also if that is true, then that means there can be a maximum of 12x9 = 108 players. I seriously don't think this is true, though..

    Firstly: Yes, if the fleet is in the to-be-sieged-planet, then yes, they defend you.

    Secondly: The white dots which you see are the galaxies <i>visible to you</i>. Not the whole universe. The white dot means that it is a weak galaxy.

    18:35:04 - Dec 28 Attention !!! We have evidence of an incoming fleet around that time.
    6 Transports
    129 Destroyer
    going to attack Etamin 3!
    We suppose its the Fleet of rattenjunge.

    yeah, I'm about to get pwned. sux that I've been on vacation, I would have enjoyed handing this guy's @$$ to him but when you've only signed on once a day for five days it's kinda hard. think I'll just retire from astrowars til beta 5.

    Thats several months away disco - you sure you dont just want to restart?

    Lots of people restart and end up in the top 100 by the end......

    maybe -- but if I don't even have the prospect of winning -- however remote -- it feels kinda futile :> maybe I'll restart and make a semi-effort and send one of you guys all my earnings so at least I'll be some good =P

    So, I checked how my sieging forces were doing, and it seems they were doing rather fine! However, once the news were loaded, I was in a for a real surprise. It looks my demise is just hours away. Tragic, really.

    Who the hell attacks with a single transport? I was truly mesmerized by these news. That clever and devious Agawanga, with his single transport, was indeed going to all but ruin my hopes of survival and a possible ranking.

    However, the plot thickens.

    So, five and a half hours after the first transport, arrives two destroyers. Is he using a cloaking device or something? I am pretty sure I am not allied with this guy, and since I don't really know how to use another player's fleet to my advantage, I suppose he is attacking me. Mirphak (11/30) 3 currently has 8 destroyers defending it. Should I build a few more, just in case?

    lol

    There are 3 other people in my system and they are rocking me. I only have my main planet. I'm not really playing much anymore =\
    I'm just going to see how long I last by pouring points into my starbases lol. I just totalled about 200 enemy destroyers earlier. too bad nobody can get to me to assist =\

    Also, does anyone know what time the server updates, and trade orders go through, preferably what time for the central time zone.

    edit: For some reason, the % doesnt display when you click that link, the chart given, for level one artifacts, are all 10%, the lvl 2 artifacts are 20%, ect.

    Is anyone in range of the meboula system. I currently have both of my planets been seiged, so i cant move. Problem is meboula 3 is currently under seige by 1 destroyer, and meboula 4 by 2 destroyers. I was sooo close to winning each battle. Please can someone break the seige, everyone else in my star system has already been wiped out by the same person named offensive.

    P.S. Each battle involved over 150 destroyers, so he cant do anything about breaking the seige, i wiped out his fleet in the process. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Anyway, the war in the centre seems to be going well. however real estate has become a squeeze. I am about to wipe out some french men and am working in co-operation with some members from SystemLords. I am ranked in the top 50 but wonder how long it will last.

    The centre really is AW Hollywood. I can see so many people from the AW forums. Even that spamming punk Nemesis <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Bumpty bump, good sirs and madams. But I jest... Seriously though, how come this mightily fine thread was ah! so tragically moved all the way to the third page? Or is it just me and my current forum settings?

    In any case, I just want to congratulate myself on succesfully defending myself against attackers, AND finally building my first battleship. Will have to see if they're useful.

    Well i'm still pitted as the mofo hat's hard to take out in my star system and I only have one planet, but i'm pretty safe for the moment being. I just sent out 2 colony ships to a new new galaxy where a guy offered an alliance so I'm going to take any help that I can get. And then crush the **** back at my home galaxy.

    Well the 4 people in my system all somehow managed to survive, although there is a mostly AFK system nearby where all the local systems are going to end up fighting over, and I have already taken 2 of the planets there, so I think I will do alright.

    So far I have seen one NS person, I guess thats what I get for signign up a few hours after everyone else <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    heehee

    I have the fewest planets in my system (2) and the rest is split between these 2 other people that are way bigger then me.

    But yet my player level is significantly higher than both of them b.c I keep owning the fleets they send at me. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, I'm not doing anything terribly important at the moment, so I'm going to be saving astros to kickstart the official alliance.

    I'm selling all my SU's (6) and should get about 2,400 astros, but I need a bit more.

    Can people donate a few astros to me, NS-Cronos, so I can start it? I need 8,000. If people donate enough it can start up easily and the gains earned from the official alliance will outweigh the cost of donating to me of course.

    So I should need something in the arena of about 5000 to 6000 astros to kickstart the alliance. Please donate to make it happen!
  • LoDwkeefLoDwkeef Join Date: 2003-10-08 Member: 21512Members
    dude i'll donate asap but right now im getting owned, but the really **** part is that my fleet im sending to give me a like 65% chance to win.........



    ......it arives 33 min after him!!!!!! *^%@#$^$##*@(#%*^%$@*&#^%$#%^@$*&^#%^%$*&^%#$^%*%$&^@#%$*%@(*#$^(@#%$*&#@%$*&@#^$*(&^@#%#@(*%^@(*#%^#(%^(*&%^(*%^%(*&^#%@&%^(*%^(*%&#^@%


    .......so ****, so very ****. he was just talking to me about an aliance and wanted to know what my standing fleet was, six hours before he attacked. now that his stuff will be ariving at my like 2 day old planet he has 100%chance to take over and destroy planet but then has like 87% chance to kill my fleet when it arives even with exagurated casualties put into the mix. so my new planets are screwed, along with my fleet.

    But they will never get my main planet!!!! no!!! I will dig myself in to where i will own ever fleet comming, im thinking lvl 15 starbase. and a bunch of ships. but luckily confused is near so im gena send so colony ships down near him so hopefully if any of those planets are threatened he can help me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    I realized a bit too late why people like attacking early. The cheap Supply Units at the start of the game. The best planets all have like 24-30 level robotics or cybernets, only way to do that is buy cheap supply units and plenty of them too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ohh well live and learn, I'm colonizing my 6th planet in 10 hours, I'm still player level 1.

YES!!! I dont know how, I dont care how, all i know is that i pawned the guy attacking my system he had 68 destroyers and 8 cruisers. he like destroyed my planet(i killed like 15%) then my 53 destroyers show up and waste him, i dont know how it happened, he must have spent all his research on physics(or mathmatics i dont remember which it is to get cruisers) and none on the other one because somehow i pawned him. This is so cool, I finally have 3 planets.

    Man being sick sucked, i was getting 0 culture the whole time so its all low as 1134. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
