For a starting guy I think I'm doing pretty well....I got 2 planets and most of my science techs are at lvl. 2
Hopefully that other active person in my system won't attack my new planet.
Sadly, the AFKer I tried to beat won with his lvl. 2 SB against 3 of my destroyers, which had lvl. 2 maths and lvl. 3 physics. He had a slim chance of winning.....and he did. Of course, that didn't com without any casualties....Now I'm going to attack another AFKer in my system, but this time I'm sending out 5 destroyers to siege his planet
So now my question comes in : Should I focus on controlling their planets or no? Should I put my PPs in Galactic Cybernets or a fleet of destroyers?

can anyone give me an intelligence report of -9/-50? Particular intrest in Gerden. I need to expand, and that system it looking ripe for me and Khan to take over.
Ok, I've got a problem. I was trying to log in, and it gave me an error, something about the sever not responding. So I tried to log on again, which got the same error. I tried about 2/3 more times, each one giving the error. I thought I'd come back in 5 minutes, and try again. Now, I get a "Alert: The connection was refused when trying to contact www.astrowars.com".
I think I may have been blacklisted for hacking, or somesuch, even though I was trying to log onto my account, using my (correct) password. I haven't gotten any e-mail from my account, so I don't think its related to that.

Oh i get 153 PP an hour, and have 9 planets now,(well i should have nine, if my fleet made it to the free planet yet), and have 5000 bucks saved up for, trade agreement, start of an alliance, artifacts or SU's,
(who wants to get a trade agreement going (NSnuketheplace, my system ally is only level 2 =|, so ill wait a bit b4 i make agreement with him im level like 10 or somethign and i want someone with a similar level to make a trade agreement with
I am ranked like 600 which isnt too shabby,
also, what should be requirements to enter into the tsa alliance?

EDIT : Besides, I'm interested in what my sieging fleet has done with my opponent....
heh heh = this could turn out strange.. but good for me - maybe.
I'm attacking a Colombian player - they are 5 hours behind me (UK), so I would have assumed normal sleeping hours to launch a strike on his planets. My ally who is in the same system said no, he is active these times blah blah blah. It turns out this guy has either seriuosly changed his patterns or my ally got his times mixed up.
Calculating 23 flight time agianst someone 5 hours behind - takes me back to A-Level maths questions. And then making the 8hr planet hop to attack his planets.
Long story short - my fleets appear to be landing slap bang in this guys active period. Maybe the time distotion will work for me?
EDIT. Not good if planets are building pp at the same time. I would rather that game time froze. My ships haven't made the planet hop yet.
