    I'm stuck in a system full of afk'ers - not responding to emails and not logged on since startup. So much for bouncing fleets off each other. I bet I send a couple of ships to wipe them out and they come on-line and up thier SB straight away and kill them.

    What to do - any suggestions? I'm not even setting aside any PP for destroyers but will need to do something or else my expansion speed is going to be terrible.

    Had a standard race and now have:

    Farm 2
    Robo 4
    Galactic 1

    researching energy

    I'm in the same situation. No one has logged on, but I did send a message to the one guy who didnt join Astrowars <i>this month</i>. Apparently some people like to wait a day or two before logging in.

    Yes - I will have to be patient. I think it will be foolhardy to send any sort of fleet for the timebeing because a lvl 4 SB would easily kill a couple of ships. I left my planet 14 days last beta (i joined very late). its nice because you get a nice bundle of PP to spend. But you know from games like Age of Empires that a good start is helpfull - just hope atleast one comes online in the next 36hrs.

    What number of ships - if any would oyu send out to an "afk" neighbour?

    If they are afk for several days and you're sure they wont be coming back, send 3 (or more) destroyers to be sure that they'll kill a level 2 starbase.

    btw , using a tag inside your nick doesn't change much... you already know other NS forumites by their nicks , and you're going to join the in game alliance soon anyway. It might deter isolated vultures from attacking you , though.

    I hate to sound like a noob, but is the name you register (in the main page/ Register) the one you use in game? I want to know if that's the one I should put NsS in front of.

    (Again, pardon my nubness)

    Ok, I'ma logged in as NsAshamanJoe. I'm at -12,-53 and I don't see anyone NS players near me. Wish me luck! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'm at 3/-54. There are no other players in my system yet, and only 3 planets. So I'm gonna hurry and try and take them. I was going to customize my race, but I clicked the create button in my haste and now I'm just a very neutral species.

    Going for a fast siege of the guy that dropped in my system, the other two seem to be afk.

    did a start up lab,
    +15% growth
    -24% science
    -8% culture
    -8% production
    +30% speed
    +56% attack
    -52% defense

    just seeing if i can pull off a "rush"

    My destroyers from my exchange with a neighbour land on him in 11hrs and he hasnt logged in for 22hrs, his SB is still lvl 2. Hope he ups it before they get there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My brother is doing quite nicely as well - he is called slashburn and is at Alpha Fum al Samakah (46/-12). NSLoDwKeef is in his system but my bro is gonna attack him if he stays AFK > he hasnt responded to an email. Does anyone know him? Don't want to have to attack my brother for attacking our alliance <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I may be lucky: the other three people in my system haven't logged in in almost 24 hours!

    I might actually pull this off. Nobody else in my system has over 1 culture point, just like me, and through a little reallocation i'll have my 2nd culture point within a few days- less if i keep amping it.
  • NuketheplaceNuketheplace Join Date: 2002-09-02 Member: 1266Members
    I'm at Alpha Albali (22/-45) with NSPIRATE. If any of you are close just send me a message. I didn't chose a race, but I think I should do fine with a balanced race.

    Yeah, if you're near (14,-54) gimme a line too. I'm going to be schooling my system soon, and i'd like to have a friend in my system. I'll be sending my first two destroyers to kill the dropped player tomorrow morning (a pretty nice pace), and i calculate that they should get there within...27 hours or so. I did the battle calc and i've got a 95% chance of a win anyway. So hopefully all goes well; i'll keep pumping my while i wait for my two destroyers to land so i can get enough culture to take that planet. man, the 56% to attack is very, very nice. The other two in my system haven't logged in 22+ hours, so I'll be turning my attention to them after that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    *edit* hmm, depending on whether unknowns actually gain population (that +1 does do something, i think), i may have to hold off on colonizing until i can put together two colony ships.

    one of the guys in my system has 0 logins and has been afk for 2 days, Ill give him a few more before I try anything ;p
  • WheeeeWheeee Join Date: 2003-02-18 Member: 13713Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    I'm in the same boat as you, zig, except both the other guys are afk (haven't logged for more than a day, 0 logins), and one of them dropped. I think my strategy will be to hit all 3 of them (the first of them will be going down in two days <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) and then use the two SU's i'll get to up my research lab and hopefully offset my 24% research penalty...then use the extra cash to up my other stuff and TAKE OVER THE WORLD! MUAHAHA!

    oh. excuse me.

    Hmmm, it seems that at least one of the players in my system is actually playing. Dern.

    Anyone know anything about Aldheir? If he's a good player, I'm doomed.

    If not, and the other 2 players stay idle, I may have a chance. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
