    Kind of a stupid post but:

    Patience is a virtue

    My PP goes at 7/hour, so don't whine! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    My system is so blessed with 3 afk'ers, I'll just expand to unoccupied planets first, taking it slow.
    After some time, when I'm sure they're perma-afk, I'll just rid them off the system.

    The first factory you buy is the intial one, it gives you +1pp/hr (pp = production points). Every level you get it up passed that (8pp, 11pp, 17pp....etc.) it makes one more pp per hour...so

    lvl 1 = 1pp/hr
    lvl 2 = 2pp/hr
    lvl 3 = 3pp/hr
    lvl 4 = 4pp/hr
    ...etc.

    You have to remember that population also adds pp, so if you have 2 population (lvl 2, not +2/hr...use the glossary to help you) you'll get an additional 2pp/hr.

    [edit] for xioutlawix: They go to the first planet in your planet list (when you click on Planets). Unless it's under seige, then it goes to the first planet in the list that isn't under seige. [edit]

    Ok so I attacked the AFK guy in my system with 5 destroyers and won the battle, his star base is down to 0, but he's still there, 3 out of my 5 destroyers survived and are now just chilling on his planet. So how do I completely destroy him?
  • MajinMajin Join Date: 2003-05-29 Member: 16829Members, Constellation
    Don't bother building Ships of any kind until you are at level 5 or higher.
    If someone trys to attack you before you have enough PP to boost your Space Station, its times to restart.
    You can't do anything but give him more PPs and ex if you try to put up a fight.

    If your not powerful enough to hold off inpending doom, Escape your planet as soon as you see a massive fleet coming.

    You need to build transports to get rid of his population. One for each population (7pop = 7transports). I think he's pretty much dead though, as long as your ships are there. Since I don't think you can build anything when your planets under seige...unless he has another hidden planet somewhere...

    Another question, I have 4 planets in the system, and enough culture for 5, if I send the transports over and capture his planet will it count as the fifth one?
  • TuBeLTuBeL Join Date: 2003-09-16 Member: 20928Members
    No, transports only reduce population an a 1:1 ratio. 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

    Thats why you gotta make damn sure your starbase can handle an attacked, if you think you're going to get attack build up your starbase, build a few destroyers to just leave in port, and pump math and physics.

    Okay...a couple misconceptions here...

    Seiges (technically) last less than a millisecond, the guy sends the ships, the ships arrive, SB (and fleet) vs enemy. If his fleet wins, your star base is destroyed and the planet is under seige, you cannot build during this time. Next, transports have to come to destroy your population, so that he can capture it (once your population is set to 0, it's set to 1 for him).

    You CAN build up your starbase while his fleet is coming.You CANNOT build up your starbase if he has already captured your planet and your starbase is destroyed.

    The last transport ship will capture the planet, you don't require a colony ship to take another players planet....if their population is 3, send the required number of ships to destroy the starbase (and their fleet) and 3 transports.

    Yes, if you capture his planet with transports it will count as your next planet. Culture is the number of planets you can control (build on and stuff), not how many you can colonize.


    Okay...I that that's all fixed and right and stuff...

  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    Grewpaws - nope. That's what sucks. Every planet you have to build up off the ground. That's why people attack actual players instead of just going after free + AFK all the time. There this one trick, but I haven't looked into it because it doesn't apply to me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The trick is to have more than 150 points, and use the "spend all points" funtion in the planets screen. Use them in interstellar trade, and then buy them back again. All the points will go to your planet that is the planet highest up in the system (1 being the highest). That is why it is always better to colonize up in the system, and why it sucks to start at planet 1.

    Sharing Alpha Menkent (X:45 Y:-14) with an AFK, a slightly less powerful german(I think) and NS_Broode.
    Just signed up yesterday... or the day before? 2 planets, third will be colonized in a few hours, everything going smoothly.

    EDIT: Two of my NSPlaying mates also play Astrowars but don't read the forums alot.
    StettJ (Alpha Dziban X:10 Y:44)
    Snabbi (Alpha Chertan X:45 Y:6)

    Please spare them or at least leave them one planet. Not that I really care but posting this makes me feel better about myself.
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    Banji - ally with broode. split the system 50/50. coordinate an attack against the slightly less powerful german player. a tactic i suggest for your situation is "Stealing His Horse"

    To quote myself and my uber-cool tactic... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    However, since you're splitting it, you'll have 5 planets, he'll have 1, and Broode will have 6 [for eg]. Then if he still hasn't colonised planets out of your system, use your accumulated wealth to buy a huge fleet, then pulverise him. However, he should have enough time to develop a HUGE starbase, so TIME IT. Make sure you send it just as he has logged off for the night, so when he wakes up in the morning he will be dead [as marine01 likes to do <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->]
