a free space colonisation game.

Missile launchers have a 70% chance to be rebuilt after a battle.

Fighters have a chance that someone else will steal the resources from your planet after the battle, and you won't have any idea who did it.

Right now my gameplan is to push metal mining and solar plant buildings with a bit of crystal mining occasionally, but I'm not really sure when it would become worthwhile to mine Deuterium.

I didn't start until I had level 5 crystal and even higher metal mining.

*nod* And enough power to keep both powered up at the same time of course.

[Skanky Burns]

Of course.

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
1666 Metal, 1666 Crystal and 1666 Deuterium

w00t!

Does anyone know what the time next to a planet means? Because the one there is someone I happen to be attacking again.

EDIT: The numbers mean last activity on planet. Which coincides nicely with the last time I attacked his planet.

Update: I just got home and decided not to delete my account (it was going to be effective the 22nd; today is the 15th ... very slooow process apparently). Do not take this to mean I don't want the guy at 2:278:9 raped, I still want that, but I want to take part in the rapage.

I'm building additional small lasers to beef up my defense with the resources that pig****er didn't steal from me in the past few hours.

Wheee, just got over 16,000 crystal and thus started on the final leg of the journey to my first Colony Ship.
Other than BUILDING the darn thing. 10k/20k/10k. Geez.

I've also been tossing up defenses, 4xmissile and 2x smaller laser so far. I'm not really sure what that's enough to deter.

[Atragon]

I'm impressed... what level of industry are you running at Blake?

[Skanky Burns]

http://speedsim.sourceforge.net/eng/dl.htm should help with determining what type of threat you can deter with your current defence levels.

Apparently 2 missile is not enough to deter much at all - only a small cargo and a small fighter.

In other news, my third raid on the other planet is launched and should be finished in another 45 minutes. After my second one got back, I used the resources to build a third cargo and sent all three out to him, so hopefully I'll get a fair few resources from this and in two hours can start spending them all! Yay!

Defender wins with 0 units lost (Attacker losses 12000 units)! The guy on 2:279:9 (same system as me) just got his ass handed to him by my 6 small lasers.

Let me know what you get out of him.

1278 Metal, 705 Crystal and 0 Deuterium


I found another defenseless victim:

2179 Metal, 1387 Crystal and 987 Deuterium

I'm preeeety sure they are resource units .

[DRoseDARs]

I know that; I probably should have added that disclaimer but meh... can't be arsed to do it.

Oh, and it's 7 small lasers now.

Edit: But I CAN be arsed to edit this one.

what a beautifull sight
