OGame: The Next Generation

DC, I wouldn't worry - you haven't got much to steal at the moment.

When you "grow up", then you'll need to fleetsave while you're waiting for the resources you require for some of the higher techs/buildings, but you needn't worry about that for now.

Need any metal at the moment?

Well, you were building BB's in any case

Hueij needs his revenge


Dark Cloud:

get small cargo's running ASAP. Then, with the loot from raids, invest in spying. Until you get there, plenty of us will spy for you.

[duke o' york]

I'm still building 'em! Although depending on how much my next raid returns, I might bag another tech first.

Well, they may be higher ranked but they are also a lot more stupid. When you attack someone you are supposed to win. His last attack destroyed his whole fleet while I only lost 11 solsats and 4 light lasers.

The debris field was an awesome sight. Too bad it wasn't there long

[Hueij]

Attack is on its way. The fleet will arrive 6 minutes ahead of my recyclers. Let's hope I don't have to recall them.

[duke o' york]

Your recyclers? But why? Even if you get pwned, then it'll be still getting something out of nothing. Er, or your fleet surviving would be better.

I'm building another 2 BBs, which takes me to 13 tomorrow morning.
Possibly more, when the rest of my raids return.

Maybe you are right. It depends on what's left if he fleetsaves. I'm not offering any ships for a little metal And right now the debris field is only 300D, from my spysat.

I'll take a look at him now.

You don't get D from a debris field.
Admittedly, they've not bothered to translate the names for the debris field materials, so you still get K for the German for crystal, but deut never appears.

Sparrow, would you mind sharing your tech levels with me?
I've checked the tech ratings, and you're only a few points behind Skanky, and I'm wondering how much more I have to get to get to where you guys are now, although I realise you'll be further ahead by then.
I've given up on research a bit recently, because I've been trying to build up some BBs for my fleets, but will be getting back to it very soon (when my ships return full of goodies )!

Espionage 6 ======>8
Computer 7 ======>8
Weapon 6 ======>8
Shields 7 ======>7
Armour 6 ======>8
Energy 7 ======>8
Hyperspace 3 ======>4
Combustion 7 ======>7

Hyper Engine 4 ======>4
Laser 7 ======>10
Ion 5 ======>5
Plasma ======>3

I have been focusing on Research at the expense of Fleet obviously (though if you compare fleets I think mine is of comparable size to yours, but mine is mainly Large Cargo's and I think yours is mainly Cruisers

How did you manage that? I searched for the alliance, but it didn't give me a list of the members, so I couldn't work out where me nearest target was. Mind you, it's probably the same as yours.

Mine is as follows:

SC: 19 (+10 on my colonies)
LC: 16 (+ 1 on a colony)
LF: 6
HF: 16 (+10 on a colony)
CR: 22
BB: 11
EP: 15 (+ 12 on my colonies)
SS: 11 (+ 9 on my colonies)

Sorry, typo. I meant K of course

16 minutes before the attack his fleet is still happily sitting there...

Duke-

Nothing is really needed- I can't build any ships until I get 80 more deuterium. (I have 111- I need 200 for the Ship Bay Building)

Right now I'm at these levels:

Metal (4)
Crystal (3)
Deuterium (2)
Solar (5)
Research (1)

[duke o' york]

I can send you some of that too.
Let me know what you want, and I'll send my speedy small cargoes rather than the slower large cargoes.
