They cannot realistically be used to knock out all defences and make a profit from a raid, however they can be used to take out both large and small shield with three missiles and this can be the make or break of a raid imho.

If the target has abms then you are unlikely to use them on him at all, however if and when a war situation arises it dies mean you can obliterate defences easily to cause point loss and soften him up for later.

Well I used my First IPM today. The guy had 500k in metal 50k in crystal and 40k in deut for the taking. Only he had 1 small shield dome and 1 Missile Launcher and I only have small cargos. With no attacking fleet I targeted his SSD with my IPM and destroyed that and the ML. Once my fleet returns, I will hit him with my second wave. The guy is active so he won't be too happy when he comes back online :D
 
The best part about missiles though is their ability to wipe the smile off someone's face. I found a juicy target a few solar systems away, and sent a fleet that would only draw with his defence. He came online and sent a message simply saying "HAHAHAHAHAHAH". About 3 mins before my fleet got there, I sent over 4 missiles and wiped out every defensive unit he had, and my 3 waves went in unopposed and took 87.5% of everything he had.

I simply sent back a message saying "Still laughing?"

:D
 
It'll teach him to laugh without knowing the capability of the attacker. If he'd simply told me he was online I'd have recalled the fleet and done something else with it. Made my day though :D
 
I've just been building up my resource income and doing research, can I start raiding people early in the game or should I just continue as I am? Current score is 1274.

Also anyone wanna trade some metal/crystal for 80kish Deut? :)
 
I was raiding people as soon as I possibly could. I built up my buildings and research and went straight onto small cargos and light fighters. Sending out multiple raids a day is the only way to get your score shooting up really quickly.

Oh, and if you're going to start raiding soon, keep the deut, you may need it :)
 
Yeah, IPM's are ... the bomb? :D

I have four on each of my major planets for special occasions, I've gotten bored with just hoarding minerals and raiding easy targets, someone local to me keeps scouting my planets for easy targets and he has a dreadful fleet so I queued 8 battleships with my res over a couple of planets and started moving into proper production mode, I sense heavy duty raiding coming on :D
 
Davey_Pitch, could you find out for me regarding my application to the registration to the Alliance Forum? I still yet got a confirmation reply, i registered 3 days ago.
 
ive been scouring the DF nearby for the last day, must have raked in over 200k of metal and over 100k of crystal for no risk :) for some reason theres loads around the SS I am in and not much else happening
