Recyclers hold 20k resources but only travel at 2000 base speed. Build yourself one recycler and grab that debris on multiple trips if it is close enough to you.

Does that mean it doesn't have to return home each time? (re: multiple trips)

Are you raiding active players then?

[germanos]

No juicy targets around here. I've scanned 50 SolSys, and among the inactives the max is 20k total, usually the bulk is metal

i've raided a few, got some decent returns too.

talking of targets, i've found a massive cow, a player and several colonies, all with at least decent amounts of res on them and next to no defence. the guy has gone inactive and i'm reaping the benefits.

check out 4:443 (yes the whole damn galaxy) and 4:444:6, for your raiding pleasure.

C0ckney, thanks

How many cargo ships are you guys operating? I've only got eight and I think that's a mistake. Probably should have built more right after I got spy probes.

13 small cargo's in 6 fleets. I have none of the super cow's, but still a few decent ones.
I send up to six to one planet, rarely less then two.

I have 7 ships but still 5 fleets in Uni9 (much less developed universe, 3 weeks old or so)

Somewhere's around 20 and i'm building more.

I've got 15 small cargoes that have been relegated to colony-duty.
I've got 10 large cargo for raiding, but I need at least 2 more due to opening up another fleet slot. 6 raids at once!

I've discovered a super-cow that I shall share once I've had my third raid in 24 hours.
It began with over 100k metal and 80k crystal.
No defences, of course.
How's about this for size?
Metal Mine 20 Crystal Mine 17
Deuterium Synthesizer 11 Solar Plant 19
Robotic Factory 5 Shipyard 5
Metal Storage 1 Research Lab 4

And yet no defences!

I repeated to myself:
"Morality Pays Badly. Morality Pays Badly. Morality Pays Badly." and sent off my cruisers and trannies to raid an active.
I decided to wait for 2 cruisers before attacking. A 3rd cruiser would be nice so I could send in 2 waves. But I'll get large trannies first.

Large trannies carry 5x as much, cost 3x as much, and have 3x the armor. The amor excites me because there's less chance of losing big targets to do a few unlucky hits.

Then, since I have the combustion tech, I'll research Recyclers.

How long between attacks counts as a wave, and a second attack? Just wondering, because I recalled a fleet and sent them after the first one to this super-cow I've found, but they arrived 20 minutes after the first. So is my current attack my last legal attack in 24 hours or not?

[Blake]

a wave is 30 minutes.

[duke o' york]

Sweet. Um, I deleted the battle times so I can't check. Still, I've sent a horde of cargoes over so they should bring back the goods required, and then I can reveal all to my fellow alliance members.
