Thanks Andy looks like I can select my tagets a bit more wisely now.

 

[fRostiE]

im raiding like mad as usual, but i cant spend any of it for the next 24 hours until some research is finished, then the big one in 38 hours when my nanite factory is done, then im gonna pump what ever resources i amass between now and then into a build queue

[UncleBob]

Hmm - had to knock the nanite factory on its head for the time being. Establishing new colonies in galaxies 1 (en route) and 3 (197 slots), so shipping out a lot of resources to get them up to speed pretty sharpish.

Beisdes, If TUPA and their heavyweight pals are snooping around i'm not sure i want a million metal on one planet, unless its all arriving within an hour a so.

 

[TechnoScream]

can anyone help me out with some resources please? ive just started.
thanks

my 1 million metal started when i woke up in the morning at 400k, and i raided until i had enough to build started at like 6:00pm

 

["andy"]

its not looking good if that musical guy is snooping about. him and a guy called psychic duck took out the whole SITH alliance and forced them to disband last week :S

once you start raiding your score will go up faster

mines going up around 1.5k a day

if it is score your talking about ?!

I probably could do the same, if only there were more viable targets locally. The few that do have good stockpiles have a huge amount of defences, making it uneconomic to raid them.

My new colony in glaxy 3 seems quite well placed though - I may transfer a load of ships over later as it looks like prime farming territory

 

[ribbo]

yup... oh well i've got some heavy fighters and some small cargo's built, i'll go attack some n00b.

 

[Captain Fizz]

Hmm - had to knock the nanite factory on its head for the time being.

Yep - Same as me...
1 mill metal can be used elsewhere for a greater benefit to me.

Looks like fRostiE is going fleet-based. So he's gonna be one of the main fleetcrasher/raiders.

I'm still going to concentrate on mines & research until mines are 26/24/20 or thereabouts. That seems to be about 3 months to get your res back at those levels.

Then fleet.

Then more mines.

And Uncle Bob - I've just setup a new planet in Gal3... it does indeed look rather tasty thereabouts.
Methinks it will become the main raiding planet... Even though it only has 2 SC's at the mo.

 

["andy"]

lol galaxy 3 and prime farming territory do not go together . im constantly getting warned off by people and there mates when i probe them

my best raiding day was probably when i moved my fleet to galaxy 2 and carried out loads of attacks

yeh im gonna set up a raiding planet somewhere in 3:xxx:xx or maybe 2:xxx:xx

should have some more established people there, if its anything like where i am now, i'll have another good set of people to raid

Matt

fizz, i figure my current incoming resources from farms i've found in 4:xxx:xx is enough to upgrade mines and knock afew ships together, setting up a 2nd raiding post will allow me to really get big numbers of battleships and bombers together... then im gonna fleet crash like a monkeh !

 

[Davey_Pitch]

EDIT - The best way I have found of finding someone's points is by going through the top 15000 and copy & pasting them into Exel.
Then you can just search for the name.

If you are just over 5000 points, then if the name appears on the list - He's harder than you. @1500 currently is Davey_Pitch at ~10K points.
Well done on appearing on the scoreboard Davey.

Yay! Don't know how long I'll be there for, I'm still talking to this guy who ranked 350 odd. I told him about the pushing rule, and I'm trying to resolve the situation peacefully. If I manage it, T.N.G could end up with a NAP with 2 big alliances, which is always good (considering how strong Elite are).

 

[fRostiE]

where can one find the top 15000 ? might try this Excel trickary

 

[UncleBob]

You can get he top 1500 from the statistics pages.

Just had my first raid combat report, with my whole 1 small cargo ship! It's actually pretty exciting. No defense so it was just free res, I'm not complaining!

And the res from that SC, makes 2 other SC's... Which makes another 4 SC's... Which makes another set of SC's etc, etc.

And I find that lots of fleet slots early on is good.
You can then send out more and more raids per hour so the fleet slots pay themselves back very quickly.

By the initial scans, my 3:xxx raiding colony is going to do well, as good as my initial raids from 1:4xx. But hopefully more sustainable!

 

[Davey_Pitch]

How do you set up a raiding colony? Just build a colony somewhere, put a shipyard on it and use it as a base to jump off from?

 

[fRostiE]

yeh set up another colony, send afew ships from your current one.. saves you building a shipyard - although you'll need one for defence i guess

then get to raiding
