    Yes and yes.

    Culture counts for your entire civilization.

    I love astrowars. It's like MOO or BC3000 with less anal micromanagment.

    I'll probably get along with him fine until he inevitably annoys me by doing something beyond breathing and crush him with my as of yet non-existant fleet =D

    I have 5 planets so far My fleet will arrive at the wrong planet (12) on Oct 9 04:05:49 (what time zone is this calculated in BTW?) I'll have to redirect them to planet (11) . if they are successful in the attack on the afk (4 destroyers 1 transport) that will be my 6th I also have 2 colony ships heading to another star system full of afks ETA Oct 10 1:36:17 for planet (2) and (3)


    Do I have a chance to get the culture up that high before they get there? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    If you haven't changed your time, you can do it in settings. All initial times are server times which are calculated +2 GMT. I am pretty sure, cos I live in +10GMT and only have to add 8 hours to the server time.

    First of all. You are looking to colonize 3 planets in the next 24-48 hours. For this you will need to go up 5 culture levels I think. I don't like your chances, however if you buy more cybernets. then perhaps your culture may be high enough in time. One thing you must ask yourself, is the other star system full of AFKs closer to 0,0. If it isn't then I wouldn't worry about it. You won't be able to spend all points to that planet. Spending all points becomes important so that you can spend 200-400 points on a planet as soon as you colonize it, giving it level 8 infrastructure making it a pretty valuable asset to your civilizatoin, cos it will be making 9 pps, 8 culture, 9 science and it will grow pretty fast.

    If this system is not closer, I would be hoping planets 2 and 3 do not colonize.
    And resend them to a closer system so you can spend all points

    +2? that can't be right... I live at GMT (0) and only had to -1 from it. Mind you, we have daylight savings time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Er.... no

    I think the general consensus is that we are going to look favourably to NS_playas if it comes to choosing to attack Playa_A or NS_Playa_B.

    It took me a good full week or two to get properly familiar with the interface and gameplay.

    I don't know about the other guys, but I am on a manhunt for every NS playa out there. so look out.....
    ah just kidding guys, I haven't even got a 2nd planet yet.

    Post any questions you have here OttoDestruct, and welcome the AW galaxy.

    The system is not that simple. 1 of your destroyers will never beat 3 of his. Science or more of an edge rather than guarentee.


    As for Otto, it is helpful to have an alliance at the beginning, for obivous reasons, but it is not needed (especially if you have afks in your system). Now I'm in an alliance I regret, but I have too many enemies to get out of it. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Transmission is right.

    As I have said before, AW favours the underdog, 3 of my destroyers have beaten 3 destroyers attacking me on now physics or maths. Physics is a lot better than maths too.

    The combat system may look real simple, but there is much speculation about how it actually works and there are a few theories going around. Some are pretty close to the mark. Others are not. I would have to say Transmission is right in say that 1 D will never beat three of his.

    Don't ally if you have no need to. Let your system span out a bit then look for other player in other systems. Colonise a planet in their system and ask for an alliance, the chance they do is a lot greater if you are colonising on their doorstep rather than sending proposals from afar.

    ATTENTION NS Battle Group

    Denebola (-37/40) cronodragon has initiated hostile actions against NS_Mavric Mavric and I have informed him that hostile actions against the NS group will not be tolerated and will be met by swift retribution, please take the time to PM him with your threats

    our unofficial battle flag is :

    <woops wrong format ill ask mavric to post it>

    Mavric has sent him the following:

    <Battleflag>

    A direct assault assures direct destruction.
    You are now the enemy of the NS group.

    All NS members will destroy you and your planets should you continue this aggressive behavior.

    Furthermore, attacking a newer member (myself) requires swift retaliatory action as dictated by our rules.
    Your only warning is now void.

    For a direct assault on myself, you are hereby placed a bounty on your head. All NS members are now aware of your existence and actions. Though a assault may not be immediate, it will be a deadly blow.

    <Battleflag>


    I sent him the following:

    <battleflag>

    A bounty has been placed on your head, cease all hostile action against the NS group (NS_Maveric in particular) or you shall be eradicated. Attacks on weaker classes will not be tolerated.

    Your only warning is now void. All NS members have been notified of your actions.

    <Battleflag>

    Any help would be appriciated

Once I have my star system, I plan on mostly sitting back anyway.It's all about the unstoppable level 20 starbases that I want...heh.

    13000+ defense...that's what you need. However, since Diablus and Blaqwolf are right next to me, I can help them.......as long as they don't send any ships to my star system....I'd hate to have to crush the poor innocent colonists, unaware of my presence, with a giant gecko shaped flag ship that will land on their colony.

    Now I just have to stop building the factories and get on another battle fleet...

    Good to see such comrodery...I wish I could help, but I am still building myself up. Havent even bought a ship yet :/

    My starsystem has 3 others like myself, and we'd be helpless if any of us were attacked.

    within a week I should be strong enough to respond and help out...as of yet, Id rather not even alert anyone to my presence.

    I promise not to be so timid in the future.

    EDIT: BTW Marine01, can you please add my info to the members list.

    I'd like to help Grewpays, but I'm on the otherside of the galaxy from you <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> We can all help tactics-wise, though, and if you need funds...

    Tactics-wise, it'd be better to mass a huge fleet, then attack his home planet [in the system]. Try and get it from as close as possible without letting him know... "Blind-side" him. Then you can split up your fleet [not too much though] and pick off his smaller colony planets.

    I'm in a bit of a rut meself, you know... No wars or anything, but I've sent out 3 colony ships. Two have already arrived, and I don't have NEARLY enough culture to support them [i JUST got to level 10 and i already have 5 planets]. One ship is for the planet in my system, another one is for the system next to me, and the third is wayy out, so that gives me an extra day. However, I'm screwed <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> I'm focusing all of my PP on cybernets, but I don't have any PP! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    what this game needs is a 3d gui, i can imagine it... planets orpiting each other, ships flying around.. plasma cannons fireing. the gui would be purly client side, and it would just run on the variables of the game. i would not mind making one for it, but i may need a another year or two of programing to do it.

    My ally seems pretty cool. We stay in contact and instantly message each other when something is going on in the galaxy. I saw a planet under siege so I PM him and he said yes it's him. He's getting in a better position to attack one of the other players.
