Ogame: th Apolliance

I've got a massive deut surplus... something like 110K.

Yeah, me too.

I have the feeling though that I will burn it up in raids and fleetsaving. Those Battleships are expensive to fly.

I have cut back in building Synthesysers though...

[Sparrowhawk]

My fleet (separated on 1 main planet and 6 colonies):

17 Small Cargo
34 Large Cargo
18 Espionage Probes
8 Light Fighters
3 Heavy Fighters
2 Cruisers

I would like to participate in an allied attack , but I need to know a target soon however as I will need to consolidate my fleet somewhere close.

On the topic of colonies, I have focused on developing my colonies, and plan to bring them all up to a level of self sufficiency (close now) with shipyards on each so that each can have its own raiding force

I smashed a probe from a player I have been raiding for the past week, but then (perhaps stupidly) sent him a message, saying that I wasn't sorry for attacking his (resource rich) planets, but that I would refrain from doing so in the future.
No reply as yet.

Still around the same fleet size, because I've been trying to save up for research for BBs this week.

SC 15
LC 15
LF 6 (worthless really)
HF 18 (+10 at my colony)
CR 21
RE 1
EP 15
BB 0

I have enough deut to fuel raids pretty much anywhere though.

what´s EP?

and the small crafts are not worthless, they can take the impact for your cargo´s I always send some small stuff on my attacks (LF even) as cannon fodder.

[Sparrowhawk]

Espionage Probe = EP I am guessing

[germanos]

While I really appriciate the effort of our smaller members, the defenses of Atragon´s enemy are really to strong for anyone without Battleships or an insane amount of Cruisers to participate.

You are probably better of attacking the inactive WoF member in system 420. And that you could do right away probably (scan for the defenses first, I have no idea what they are)
Tomorrow though, yáll could participate in bashing his defenseless planets to get the message through. Expect some resistance though, as he might shift his ships around. Don´t expect much loot either.
Post if you still want to participate in an assault that might cost you more then you will receive. (considering the deut you´ll need to get there)

Oh, right

[duke o' york]

When are we planning on doing this?

All my cargoes are out (some raiding, but most fleetsaving), but will be back tomorrow morning.

[germanos]

Atragon (and those who will commit forces) could help by providing their flight times to target.

(Atragon could simply check what time it will be if he would attack his own allies)

[Spiffor]

I will launch my attack force on that inactive and barely defended "Tauri" Planet, that Atragon spied on. I'll send my ships in about 10 minutes. Edit: I actually have just sent them now

I cannot commit myself to attacking a stronger foe. My meagre 5 cruisers can't cope with any serious enemy.

C0ckney can attack at 10 AM. His departure will set the time. (IF we attack: I still need another Big Ally to follow up on my first wave)

[duke o' york]

Are you really going to attack the Bury alliance?
They seem to be SMAC players - or at least they've got a message about the Hive on their info page.

[edit]

##########
We are the hive.
We live together,
We thrive together,
Our minds melded in unison,
Our battles fought as one.
We ride to battle with our allies,
We slaughter all whom are not.
We are the hive.

Hmmm... Maybe not.
They don't know when to use "whom" though - bad grammar is reason enough to pwn them!

No. It´s Atragon´s enemy.

Have you thought of a decent target yet
I feel a bit stupid setting up the second Apolliance attack. I´s time consuming, while others happily milk their cows...

[duke o' york]

No, I have yet to be attacked by anyone so far - the most I've managed is a couple of probes. I don't have any grudges for the time being, but am happy to use my ships on behalf of others' grudges.

All right, who are WoF, and more importantly, where? I could only locate the home planet of their leader.

[C0ckney]

i'll be back tomorrow morning at around 10 o'clock, fleet ready.
