OGame: The Next Generation

[Skanky Burns]

Getting ships was one of the last things I did. I just concentrated on cargo ships and milked undefended planets for all they were worth.

If anyone in galaxy 3 has a recycler spare, then get over to 3:202:10 on the double!
42,600 and 23,100.

wealthy Noob, great infrastructure. Been a good cow.

There are also a few active noobs around, that were nice cows for a while. Some have small defenses. If you're interested, send me an ingame message. You'll probably need a base with a fleet in the vincinaty of my home-planet (3:158)

I've upgraded to Impulse 6, and now my small cargo's run at the same speed as my battleships: excellent for raiding active planets with small defenses

If you've just sent a recycler to that nearby field, then that's an unfair exchange - if you haven't, then it's even more unfair. Thanks germanos.

Two weeks ago this bastard attacked me with 48 battleships during our assault on the [blu] allaince. I fleetsaved, but he still destroyed a fair part of me defenses.

Today was the day for a payback

Defender Jon (3:160:13)
Destroyed

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
20783 Metal, 34355 Crystal and 26296 Deuterium

The attacker has lost a total of 39000 Units.
The defender has lost a total of 444000 Units.
At these space coordinates now float 95400 Metal and 49500 Crystal.
The chance for a moon to arise from the debris is 1 %

15 Battleships, 6 Large Cargo's and 4 recyclers destroyed, while my losses were 2 Cruisers and 1 Large Cargo.

My recyclers are speeding to the planets and will catch most of the fields.

[Cyclotron]

I'm on the lookout for any rich cows in my neck of the woods, if anyone has any tips. I'm at the point where I could conceivably deal with some small defenses - I have a few cruisers and fighters, and I am not far off from battleships.

[duke o' york]

Probe 3:272:10. I've taken loads of stuff from there, and it only had 4 small lasers before my last attack. You'll only need a few attack ships to take whatever is left down.

Sorry, but you are too far away. I usually stay within 20 systems of my planets.

[Cyclotron]

Thanks, Duke, I'll check it out.

No worries, Germanos, I usually operate on the same policy

[Cyclotron]

Well, my scan won't get through - so I'll just hope it works. 3 cruisers, 2 HF, 4 LF, and two large cargo... fingers crossed!

[duke o' york]

I'll post a new scan in 17 or so minutes, when my next fleet returns. You'll get a chance to recall your fleet if SpeedSim says so then.

I haven't left loads, but look at the mines. It'll be replenished in no time.
This is an active player, mind, but don't let that worry you. 3 cruisers will be more than enough.

I am about six hours away from the same upgrade and I understand better what you mean now about small cargo over large. My small cargo are already quicker then the large, this isn't going to improve much even if I improve combustion (maybe Impulse will be the better buy as it improves other necessities as well).

As for Droth, I sent Atragon an ingame message asking him about Droth and it seems Atragon is wanting more to build up his own fleet then to take on Droth right now.

Cyclotron, I could provide you with a list of inactives, many of which you probably already have, but seeing as we are almost next door to each other I would guess we are after the same targets

Germanos, on the payback. Good to keep a list of who you "owe". Kinda like taking a number in hockey.

/me

[duke o' york]

I assume that's some kind of hockey grudge.
Use the in-game notes to remind you of what you owe to whom.
Will recyclers still be breathtakingly slow even if I get loads more levels of Combustion? I fear so.
