***The (renamed) official Ogame thread***

(Kind of odd this is in the console games thread?)

What are people views on defensive buildings. I am trying to make sure I have some serious defenses. Currently I have:

Missile Launcher ( 600 available )
Small Laser ( 250 available )
Heavy Laser ( 80 available )
Gauss Cannon ( 10 available )
Ion Cannon ( 8 available )
Plasma Cannon ( 18 available )
Small Shield Dome ( 1 available )
Large Shield Dome ( 1 available )

What should I build? My logic was missile launchers/small lasers as fodder with plasma's to do the damage. But is it worth my while building anything else? What are peoples views?
 
More small lasers, bang for buck compare to other fodders, they are much better than Missles. The rule of thumb is 100 fodder per 1 big gun.

Here's mine.

It should hit 4000 Small Lasers in about 40 mins :D

Damn I haven't logged on for a day or 2 and got hit :(

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
35372 Metal, 41188 Crystal and 65590 Deuterium


The attacker has lost a total of 8000 Units.
The defender has lost a total of 804000 Units.
At these space coordinates now float 81300 Metal and 76200 Crystal.
The chance for a moon to arise from the debris is 1 %
14 Missile Launcher, 4 Small Laser, 5 Heavy Laser, 3 Gauss Cannon, 4 Ion Cannon, 1 Small Shield Dome could be repaired.

The person that got me was polaak (1:370:7). I was just getting back to normal aswell from the last hit :(

Feel free to send recycler's over guys.

That'll happen if you don't login for a day or two...

You HAVE to be online when your fleet is home - Or have big enough defences to allow you to be offline for longer.
(Need MASSIVE defences like those above to leave anything big lying around)
 
Plasma cannons scare poeple off quite nicely, a few of those and lots of smaller stuff means I'm able to handle several hundred battleships and destroyers. Deathstars on the other hand are unstopable :/

I just sent out some espionage probes to people I'd spied on the statistics page, and they all appeared in orange on the overview screen. Any body know what that means?

Edit - Have espionages always been orange? I could've sworn they were green like everything else :confused:

My defence can stop up to 3 Deathstars, 4 would be a draw but that's a moot point since Deathstars don't get blown up when its a draw and my fleet gets blow to pieces....which is the whole point of a crash.

Errr... 2 out of 3 of them can be aas far as I know.

At least according to speedsim.

They act as normal ships until the moon destruction sequence has activated.
(After a normal 6 round battle)
 
Am I missing something here? I checked DragoSim and it would take 6 deathstars to beat my defenses, and even then, their chance of winning is merely 7/100, otherwise it is always a draw.

Is that the point? Someone could attack me with the same few deathstars over and over again?

the point is even with a draw, your ships would still be blown to pieces. And recyclers come and collect the DF.
 
Indeed... One of the attacks I have planned...
I won't win.

It will be a draw.

But the DF is where the res is!
Over 1 mill res from it, which is more than you'd ever get from raiding at this stage in the game. :)

Gal 8 or Uni 8 ?

We are all in Uni 3, you would be pretty lonely in Uni 8. We also have a forum for Uni 3 as well.
 
Ahhh, I see. That makes sense.

Can you send recyclers with your main fleet or do they have to be sent after the main attack. Is the only reason people do that to stop the recyclers being destroyed?
