ouch! unlucky there


you'd think the No.1 player would have better things to do with his/her time

 

[Gilly]

Actually, if anyone does have spare crystal lying around they could lend me, it'd get me over the line for Battleships.

Unfortunately I have nothing to trade, though I could give back the crystal in a relatively short time. It would just get me over the line as opposed to leaving me vulnerable again.

 

[Raymond Lin]

how much do you need ? my slots are full at the moment, but i could spare you some in the morning.

 

[Gilly]

I should have about 100k in the morning, meaning another 60k required if anyone can spare it.

Thankee kindly

 

[Raymond Lin]

sorry, don't have 60k. That's quite a lot for me too for crystal.

I have a LOT of Metal thou, almost a million, and rising.

I've sent it - it'll be there at about 8:30am, I hope that's ok.

 

[Gilly]

Nice one. Thanks a million (or a few thousand crystal ).

 

[Sinque]

How do I increase my max number of fleets anyone?

You need to increase your research into computer technology. Every level gives you one additional fleetslot.

 

[Gilly]

22 hours til Battlships

Wooot!

Edit: Hope you've ot plenty of deut around, when you start getting lots of battleships it can cost a lot to move them all.

 

[Gilly]

And to think, when everything got wiped out I was going to jack it in :/

Saying that it made me think, what defences should I go for?

 

[Gilly]

I had pretty hefty defences for a new player and they did squat.

yup seconded - it doesn't really matter how much defence you've got as there's always someone bigger who can crash it with minimal losses

it's worth having some form of defence to stop people just sending cargos (or even probes) and swiping up resources but the best defence you can get is to just not leave res on your planets when you're not playing

Fleetsaving is the answer (and as i remember Gilly didn't fleetsave at all before he was crashed) as not only will there be anything worth stealing but you'll also still have your fleet aswell as whatever res you'd stashed onboard when it returns home

I believe I just got esped by the number 1 player un uni 3, Absent.

Seems noob protection is well and trully gone now.

He scanned me too a few times. Don't worry about it, he even attacked me too (did have like 700k of res thou !).

I even msg him once after he scanned me, and he said "no res, no attack from me."

Sounds good to me, just fleetsave.

 

[Gilly]

Gilly's first Battleships roll off the production line

 

[VaderDSL]

Nice one Gilly, just keep them safe - I've got 4 planets devoted to building now

Main colony Research+Battleship
Second colony for bombers
Third for Cruisers
Fourth for Heavy Fighters

 

[Paramount]

Careful gilly, people like to crash battleships because of the nice amount of debris they leave behind, as I've found out with the amount of attempts people have made on me, even though the planets theyve been idling at have no res on.
