LOL 1337 PP. That's something we don't see everyday....
Kekeke I ned someone to help me with something....will I be completely out of the game forever if all my planets are wiped or do I get to start over in a newer section?
I'm quite worried because I'm about to attack a nearby AFKer who's also lvl. 0, but of course, I'm gonna lose 1 Ds in the process. I'm worried his SB will shoot up to lv 5 or something....
EDIT : And on another topic....how many Robot Factories are optimal for the start? Right now I have like 5 and it's just my 2nd day :/
Together with a Lv 3 SB, the nearby neighbours shouldn't dare scratch me. But they're all AFK anyway so I'm happy. I just want some exp.
Firstly , when you resign you are assigned a planet in the outer rings (beta/gamma sector)
Secondly , losing 1 D to a starbase 2 is well worth the exp gained. Remember , it earns you an SU costing 500+ ADs.
Thirdly , an AFKer is harmless if he's away for more than 2-3 days.
About the optimal factory number : it depends on your race bonus/malus , and your style of play. With no specific race , it's best to keep investing in factories till level 10 , with a level 8-9 farm and 9-10 galactic cybernet. Generally , keep your factory 1 level above your farm , and 2-3 levels above your research lab.
Also , you just don't need a starbase if your neighbors are all AFK... common sense...
I noticed 2 NS players , Pirate and Cypher , had a planet in the "best guarded" ranking...

EDIT : Another question
How do you defend your planets with your own fleets? I can't seem to know how....do I have to launch them or something? And what's this about fleets in orbit?
EDIT2 : I am teh screwed! He has pumped his SB up to Lv 5 and has a lv 3 population. Looks like I am gonna lose both my Ds in the process then....I blame my friend for asking me to test it. I didn't know there wasn't any 'recall fleet' button either....
don't build your SB up - just keep those pp's that you would have spent in hand to allow you to build SB if necessary. This gives you two things - first >contingency, you can upgrade SB to higher level in one go, or invest in buildings. second> appearance, a low SB makes you look tempting to some (mostly noobs), others it shows that you aren't a newbie.
You may be lucky and provoke an attack that you can easily defeat.
slashburn
EDIT> any ships in orbit around your own planet, will automatically attack any different players fleets sent to that planet. If you send further ships they get grouped into one bigger fleet. You know if your fleet is orbiting by clicking on the fleet button. Orbiting fleets have the launch button beside them. (you are limited to 5 fleets traveling at any one time).
SB's are always better than ships for defense but the obvious downside is that they are static. If you have ships orbiting one of your planets their attack/defense values are added into the equation to see who wins the encounter agianst enemies.

This concludes my intel report on the races in my local area. Anyone with a sufficient bio level to spy on others is encouraged to share the information you can glean with allies.
One last detail, on my map I can see that the system Beta Antares (-35/-60) is completely under siege. Since the entire system is afk, if anyone knows about that please tell me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

yay, 8 planets nearly(8 hours and counting), and 9 culture nearly(well 47%), 130 pp an hour, man i need to take over more pre built bases.... takes to long to make em my self

I would be on the highest fleet with my 400 some destroyers, but I had to use them to grab planets.

That is one real bad setup. Who would want to get their social up to 6 if your population isn't growing much?
BTW on the topic of trying to get planets....I failed to get one under siege because he managed to obliterate my fleet of 2 destroyers. But that's not surprising due to the fact that my friend forced me to launch the fleet. He was actually surprised to hear that my Ds got destroyed.
Either way....I got another question....when you're gonna inhabit a free planet, do you need to have Destroyer escorts with you? Seems to me that I do....
... I guess the said player misunderstood the concept of social boost , thinking level 6 social would keep boosting the pop levels of all his planets forever...
Though transports need to be escorted , colony ships actually have offensive capabilities. Well they have 0 CV but they can not only take over a free planet without escort , but also siege undefended planets ! Useful when you want to distract or confuse your opponent.

Weird race huh ? You can exploit his weakness in speed to your advantage imho. Also , his planets will be cheaper to conquer due to his growth malus.
That is one real bad setup. Who would want to get their social up to 6 if your population isn't growing much?
BTW on the topic of trying to get planets....I failed to get one under siege because he managed to obliterate my fleet of 2 destroyers. But that's not surprising due to the fact that my friend forced me to launch the fleet. He was actually surprised to hear that my Ds got destroyed.
Either way....I got another question....when you're gonna inhabit a free planet, do you need to have Destroyer escorts with you? Seems to me that I do....
Though transports need to be escorted , colony ships actually have offensive capabilities. Well they have 0 CV but they can not only take over a free planet without escort , but also siege undefended planets ! Useful when you want to distract or confuse your opponent.
