What are the 2 numbers in red in the energy column? Why do everyone else's match and mine don't? :/

What amount of res does it take to build a plasma cannon?

Plasma Cannon ( 10 available )
Plasma Cannons are unleashing the power of a small solar eruption into a plasma bullet. The destructive energy is even superior to that of the destroyer.
Requires: Metal:50.000 Crystal:50.000 Deuterium:30.000 Energy:0
Production time: 1h 00m 00s

Edit: That build time is with nanite level 2 and robotic factory level 10. If you don't have nanites, the build time is at least 3 hours.

I *think* it's if you don't have enough energy to power everything, it distributes power between everything using what is available. Is your solar factory producing enough power to cover everything (in the resources bar at the top, energy will be red if it's not producing enough)?

can someone pls scan 2:25:7 and see what they come up with please?

He's ranked 18th overall, I don't think scanning him will be a good idea.

 

[Gilly]

Aye, my upgrade of my solar plant hadn't finished so i was confused as to why it would be a problem.

I've now got 1.315 739 1.047 8/342

Still don't really get the 2 numbers for energy...

lol

 

[[Darkend]Viper]

The numbers 8/342 are that you are producing 342 in total and have 8 free.

 

[Gilly]

I see.

Thanks for that

What's the best way to get large amounts of deut? I need to research Computer Tech lvl 9&10.

EDIT - Also how long do battleships take with nanite lvl1, robotic factory lvl10 and shipyard lvl9?

I just raided for the deut, but I got lucky that I found a few deut rich targets at the same time.

As for the battleships, it'll be 1 hour 12 mins with the setup you describe.

 

[[Darkend]Viper]

Well that's what i've been doing. Just found a target with 30k deut who's been absent for 2 weeks. three waves should make light work of it. Only prob is that when you've got 9 slots and can quite easily get carried away and fill them all at once

That's certainly better than the 2h24mins that i'm currently waiting.

Hes the fellow who attacked me with 200 battleships .

I was lucky to find targets that had about 200k deut, though it's easy to spend it fairly quickly. 2 weeks ago I had 600k deut, now I'm down to about 25k deut (though I'm making a trade for 250k later today if all goes well).

As for the build time, nanites basically halve the build time for all ships, defence and buildings, so if you want to see how long something will take, just halve it.

me too but with 380 took everything i had and destroyed my defense, nearly had enough for nanite as well, fleet had just come back and wham!! $£$%£%^$

 

[Gilly]

Right, so far I have:

Metal: 7
Crystal: 5
Deuterium: 4
Solar: 8
Robotic: 1
Research: 1

What should be next on my list?

 

[Davey_Pitch]

Ideally you want a shipyard and small cargos as soon as possible so you can start raiding. If you click on the technology link you'll see what you need to build/research for each item, so you'll know what way to go.

 

[Raymond Lin]

woohoo, i can research Hyper space tech now ! next on the list is aim for Plasma Tech, can get a Large Shield Already.

Btw, what affects the points system more? Levels of research or amount of resources or fleet size? Because i plan to research everything and get best defence i can before the 5000 points barrier, i don't want to break out of that with a hole in the defence.

Trade for it !!!!

Use the alliance forums to post when you want it, if no-one else will trade I probably can. I have less than 200k at this very moment because I just spent and traded over 500k but I expect to see that rise dramatically in the next two hours.

Trade should not be overlooked, myself and others often have large reserves for trade purposes, I personally usually have 1-2 million salted away for a rainy day....

To be honest this early in the game you shouldn't worry about plasma tech. While having a good defence helps keep people away, as long as you always fleet/res save and never leave too much lying around you'll be fine. Concentrate on building your fleet up somewhat, make sure you are able to build battleships by the time you come out of noob protection.
