a free space colonisation game.

[germanos]

check out Skanky's link to the defense calculator.

I think with 7 missiles you should be quite save.

germanos runs a test


Although the program looks a bit complicated, I think it says that even 2 Heavy fighters won't do you any harm

[DRoseDARs]

Hmm, well I tried the link earlier, but the .zip files said they were corrupted. Anyway, I want him to waste his time harrasing me one more time.

Edit: ...and potentially losing 2 heavy fighters (he probably only sent a small cargo and light fighter like last time) in the process.

[Skanky Burns]

The program works well for me.

Regarding his attack, unless he has two cruisers or above, he will die. Get your mines producing again, no point denying yourself resources.
Did you manage to see his tech levels?

I've been probing quite a bit recently, and have found 3 totally undefended planets with over 50k worth of resources on each. As soon as my ship comes back with loot, I'll build more and send them on their merry looting way again.

If I'm doing things right, even 4 Heavies won't breach your defenses.

Maybe Duke can send some of his heavies to your nemesis (provided he has build them allready)

Well lookie here, the results of my probing his... planet

Feel free to help yourselves to his resources.

Oh, and he sent 2 small cargos. Oh well, at least I put my units to good use.

How many probes did you send?
IIUC you have to send at least 3 probes (together) to get info on his defenses ! (or sacrifice a fichter to see if he has any )

In related news:
If just send of another ship at my Deuterium-cow. I won't be able to follow up on that until 5 AM (servertime) or I will be bashing and banned .

So, if any of you is eager for Deuterium and other stuff... (see my previous reports for what you can expect)

location is (see ingame message)

Oh, and it would be most kind if any succesfull attacks on him are reported here (or ingame via PM or Alliance circular messages) or I will send out my ships tonight only to find a barren planet left

(note for DRoseDARs: unless specifically stated, all my reports here are for Uni 8. In any case, I think for strategic news in Uni 9, we better use the ingame message system to avoid confusion)

Uhmm...any chance on sharing their locations If you can't lift of 25k in 24 hours, there is little point in saving the rest to be wasted

[germanos]

alternatively, could you probe some planets in my neighbourhood

(i'm in 3:158:4, and allready have sufficient knowledge from 3:156 to 3:160)

[germanos]

3 more scans added (3:161/162/163)
Slowly working my way to Gamecube (3:183)

[germanos]

We should share more info!

- who has scans of solar systems
- who has espionage reports
- who can spy?
- who has a decent army?

There is really no point in everybody building spy probes, while others could focus on Militairy equipment etc.

There is even less point in different people sending probes to the same planets etc.

Low tech members could be given easy targets, instead of forcing them to raid blindly at inactive planets and just hoping there will be no defence and a decent loot.

Currently I'm moving towards probes as well, but I could easily mend my course

Spiffor and Atragon should focus on getting Cargo's IMO, and raid easy meat that we can provide the coords for.

[Snotty]

I will be more than happy to share info once i catch up with you guys and have info to share
