    I was poking around on the AW forums, and apparently this round is coming to a close. There are a few ppl with enough points to win the round, they just have to wait the week out.

    Just a heads up to all of you, I guess your rank this round has some bearing on the next round. Maybe it affects your placement in the galaxy, or maybe something else, I don't know. But everyone on the AW forums say are going all out and attacking everyone in hopes of bumping up their levels a bit more, for whatever reason.

    I think most of us here started somewhat late in this round, but we will all be even next round. Also i read that the dev team will be implementing a formal alliance system for beta 4. So I am anticipating some hardcore NS_ galaxy domination!

    Good luck!

    BTW I'm in the same system with boggle.
    Alpha ras al Asad al Shamali (-38/-17) let me know if you need any help!

    Well I don't know where you were poking, but I suspect that these people are all talk and just blowing a little smoke up your.....yeah well. Beta 3 ends when someone gets over 500 points and keeps it above that for a week.

    If you hvae a look at rankings then you will see that the top person is only just under 300. And for those who haven't realised, the scoring happens logarithimically (if thats the right model) meaning that you grow really fast when t is small, but as t goes on, the rate of growth comes to a horizontal.

    I would give this round at least another month. So keep at it NS'ers. It's a far cry from the fat lady singing. Ranking had no bearing of placement in beta 3. I had to sit up til when the round restarted 1800GMT with my friends to sign up. 4am my local time, was doing an assignment due the next day. By doing this we got pretty close to the centre of the galaxy.

    They have been saying that formal alliances were going to be in beta 3, but will we see. I would recommend starting late. The competition is far less on the outer rim.

    Depends on how long til he gets there. 6 hours? unless you have a fleet or can spend all points to that planet, bye bye. However if it is longer, maybe you can rally a defensive fleet of cruisers or just pump your starbase right up, possibly organise a counter attack.

    Greypaws.

    I just did a quick check, it appears you are player level 0. Money can only be transferred between players that have a player level of 1 or greater.

    All you need is to succesfully win a battle and kill 2 destroyers = 6 experience points. Then Bob should be your uncle. And you bank account will be looking a lot phatter.

    he has a total of 11 battleships 3 cruisers and 2 destroyers now on the way to that planet, I fear I cant sustain this sytem, I have sent colony ships out to 3 diffrent systems in the hope of preserving my existance.

    Even if I spend all points to my home planet I wont have enough PPs to defend against that kind of fleet.

    17:15:44 - Oct 09 Alpha Alaraph(2) colony ship 1
    17:36:17 - Oct 09 Alpha Alaraph(3) colony ship 2


    15:36:20 - Oct 10 Alpha Biham(2) colony ship 3
    15:52:44 - Oct 10 Alpha Biham(3) colony ship 4


    and I have a very small fleet attacking an AFK in my own system

    22:34:30 - Oct 09 Alpha Alnath 10 1 transport and 4 destroyers

    :: pouts :: damn stupid cronodragon, I've issued my populations cionide pills... HEY if I give up does he still get to kill my stuff and earn points?

    <a href='http://www.astrowars.com/0/Player/Profile.php/?id=18380' target='_blank'>FreedomWing5</a> has been giving me problems. He has 3 planets in my systems so I thought I could crush him easily, but it turns out he has been colonizing other systems, he has about 4 planets on other systems. So if you see <a href='http://www.astrowars.com/0/Player/Profile.php/?id=18380' target='_blank'>FreedomWing5</a> anywhere feel more than free to kill him. Also if you happen to have spare astro dollars send em to <a href='http://www.astrowars.com/0/Player/Profile.php/?id=18420' target='_blank'>me</a>.

    I doubt he has killed off the infrastructure, there is no support for this yet. Unless AR has added it in the last week.

    You can't just kill population, you have to take over the planet, and that requires the appropriate culure level. I am sure this is the thing holding him back

    It does, providing there is a sieging fleet or a military ship accompanying them
    Otherwise the population kills them off.

    Is there some way for me to siege a planet, and then totally DESTROY IT, without claiming it? I don't have enough culture to do so. Thanks.

    Also, that AFK planet where I am sending the BattleShip and the 6 Destroyers... Well, I sent another 6 Destroyers and a Cruiser after it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> They will regroup there before Attacking the lvl 5 starbase planet [a pretty high level user], so a total of 12 Destroyers, 1 BattleShip, and 1 Cruiser... What do you reckon?

    The user is Isenlord.

    Edit: darnit, he's just upgrades to Level 6 starbase.

    You have to claim a planet to remove it from the other player, but you can lower his pop to 1.

    You force could be defeated by a lvl 9 starbase (maybe even 8), and if he is a high level user, check where his origin is. If it is farther from 0,0 than your system, he can use the spend all points function to easily boost up his starbase. Also, beware of undelclared fleets. All in all, I think your attack is pretty risky there.

    I intend to hopefully get around 2 BattleShips, a few cruisers, and like 30 Destroyers before I attack <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But I'm not sure what the hell I'm going to do about the culture... I can't fully take him unless I take over the planet, and I have no culture!!!! =/

    You are now a enemy of the NS clan. By launching a attack at one of our clan members or team mates we warn you to stop while you are still alive to hear it. Cease the action or be dealt with a heavy right hand, and a vicious left hook.

    This is your only warning.

    You have attacked one of our fledgeling members or a fledgling ally. This will not be tolerated. Your only warning is now void. Expect to see our warships inside your solar system's boarders from many galaxies within weeks.

    Im am sorry to say, but astrowars is not a ballanced game. It is not even enjoyable. Within weeks a far superior enemy will always apear on your doorstep. Heavilly armed and beyond defeating, it would be hopeless. Also, tied in with the fact that you cannot form real alliances with players compounds this fact to a far worse degree.


    I resign, but i leave you what little hope i had of this game to you, to hope that you will kick those mother f***ers a**es!!!1


    Cronodragon is thy enemy. His home is Denebola. x -37, y 40. Send battle ships to each of his planets. Greywolf, you have my worlds at your disposal once i leave.

    Fight.
    Do not win - Make them lose.

    forever as far as i am concerned, once your culture level is high enough you hvae to send it to itself if that makes sense. And it should colonise after a couple of hours once it gets back

    You wont be able to spend points at that planet when he arrives, if you spend all points, 40% of those planets points go to you, 40% goes to him, and 20% is wasteage.

    can anybody help me with my situation? i mean, what am i supposed to do with 11 culture

    i cant really get it that much higher easily

    it sucks...

    whats the purpose of astrowars? you can only fight within a certain area, and you can only get like 7 planets, and even that is difficult. any more than 7 planets and you are a serious contender - the equivalent of an empire.

    however, theres got to be a better way this game can work

    i intend to contribute a helluva lot to the AW game, in terms of ideas/suggestions. right now im working on a way for each person to get like 20 planets each and still be considered a medium level player <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Should I take that as that they boost the different factors by a certain percentage of their current value? o.O
  • TransmissionTransmission Join Date: 2003-03-12 Member: 14456Members
    At lvl 1, artifacts boost the field(s) they augment by 10%. You can upgrade the artifact by buying a level 2 of that to get it to boost 20%, lvl 3 is 30%, ect. However, you shouldn't be worrying about artifacts for a looong time.
