How much defence do people have? is there such a thing as having too much? or a minimum?

Never too much.
Never a minimum.

A lot of top players don't use it at all and rely on fleetsaving. I like to have a minimal amount of defense in case some noob who's just broke 5000 points decides to attack me to take the 350k I make at each planet daily :)

Minimal being both shield domes and a couple hundred lasers/missiles.
 
Bit of a disaster today launching an attack against 1:114:7. My entire fleet consisting of 4 Small Cargo Ships, 1 Large Cargo Ship, 4 Light Fighters, 4 Heavy Fighters, 1 Cruiser and 1 Recylcer got wiped out for no gain. He now has a nice debris field around his planet now though. :(

Glad I got the small colony now as I can build some new Small Cargo Ships to transport needed crystal to my homeworld to help re-build (I've got about 15 Small Lasers and a Small Shield Dome for defense). Also reached the technology level to build Battleships as well.

Guess I should've improved my espionage technology a bit more to get an idea of his defence.
 
If you don't get either fleets or defence then just ask and i'm sure someone can send a few probes for you, would stop things like this happening :)
 
use speedsim to get an idea.

I've just done it. 10 light fighters will do it but you'll loose 1. 15 and you'll be fine.

EDIT- - Has anyone got any spare crystal that they don't need. I desperately want to research Plasma Tech lvl 7 so I can get plasma cannons but can't get the crystal that I need.

Thanks, I needed someone to confirm that. :p
I only go for both domes and a handful of lasers atm - and it serves me well enough (and allows the possibility of a ninja if i send my fleet out :D).

I was thinking about getting some plasma cannons though (so that they're likely to incur losses if they attack me).
Do you avoid plasma cannons all together?


I'd also like to hear your opinion as to whether any ships are useless (i.e. you'd get a better result against any planet, if the resources were spent on a different ship).
For example: the Heavy Fighter could be said to be pretty useless (not proper cannon fodder like Light Fighters, not as powerful or as strong as a battleship). But only RIP's get rapid fire against Heavy Fighters, so they could be useful when the enemy has cruisers.
 
Hello
I signed up about 8 this evening so still very 'noob' in what i have,
Sent of a request to join T.N.G waiting for a reply
was slowly reading this thread, got to page 28, thought i would check how mny pages there was and decided to skip to the end when i found 199 :eek: :eek:

If anyone could be kind enough to spare any resources, especially metal would be most greatfull,
my position is 2:344:4

I don't build plasma cannons, because they are too damned expensive. For ships, try a combination of battleships, light fighters, and cruisers. The ships you will use will be different each time, since no two battles are the same :)

Nice. :)

And lvl10 Esp tech will be done in a day.
(Thought it would to, but when I can afford it, lvl11 will be on it's way)

Building mines up at the mo, got them to lvl21 Metal, 18 Crystal and 13 Deut on average so far.
A lvl27 Solar Plant... :eek:
2.2Mill Metal, 0.5Mill Crystal.

Need to raid more. :p

@LeperousDust, you didn't get a "Do you want to ban this user" button with that message.

I believe if the ban get's put in place (even by a GO if contacted) that there will be a 24 hour, NON-VACATION MODE ban. ;)
So his fleet will land, avail for crashing, and you can swipe all of his res in 24 hours. :D
 
just want to appologise for my lack of activity (if it even matters:p) was on holiday for a 2 weeks but had to come back early because of some family issues, they are still not resolved so i dont have much time to play :(
 
What do i need to built to speed up ship building times? It takes 20 mins to built a single ship for me..And is there anyway to make ships go faster? 4 hours return trip for all the raids at the moment, too long !

Althought i am putting everything i have into research at the moment, just got lvl2 shields.

Look at your tech tree. "Technology" on the menu.

Read through all of the options.

That's what you can build.

One of them should be shipyard... The higher lvl of shipyard, the faster the production of ships.
(And Nanites but much later)

Another of these is your small & large cargo's.
Read the blurb on them.
Combustion increases the speed of ships which use combustion engines etc, etc.

Real men have more posts on each page and only see 75 pages :p

Oooh, since one of the forum updates I can now have 80 posts per page! :D
When I registered, 40 was the max.

Niiice.

Cheers KK, must check some of the other forums I go to... Maybe they will have 80 posts per page limit now.
 
If someone is sending a fleet your way to attack you, whats the nicest (or normal) way to tell them they wont get anything cause your res/fleet saving? I dont want to sound arrogant cause this guy could probably take me down pretty good...
