Just a thought, should Odin maybe send a not so empty threat to him? He has been attacked once already and scanned by three alliance members or more. Perhaps a "I'll get my big brother" would be enough for this guy to find an easier target (or find a bigger alliance to join ).

I think better not

We will crush him in time. We can build faster then him. In a few days he will be under my IPM's. Then everybody with more then a HF can milk him untill he bleeds.

In the meantime Odin must build cargo's and lift the stuff off his planet. And build a strike-force on his colony.

Odin, if I get the coords of your colony, I can send supplies. I'm not going to send you again stuff to see it ending up at your nemesis.

Im back on, any mineral gift is welcome (even 500 would make big deal atm.. )!

Also - how does the 'x:y:z' coordinate system decrypt?

Galaxy x
Sector y
Planet z
?

Galaxy, Solar System, Planet.
The lower numbered planets are nearer the sun. This makes them better for solar satellite energy (strangely, there is no difference for solar plants), but worse for deuterium production, which is better on the planets further away.
5k metal will arrive in an hour. I can send you about 50 at a time with espionage probes (should take a minute to reach you) if you are terribly desperate.

Bloody hell, the site's gone down!
I was 12 minutes away from a raid, and needed to send a last-minute probe to ensure that no battleships had popped up, and now I can't find out!

Just wait for 10 minutes, and you'll have significantly more than 500 metal

[binTravkin]

No, I am not desperate at all, just a little bored clicking around while my stocks pile up to the next needed level.

Also here's a question - how can one buil 3x L12 mines?
Right now Im seeing the buildup as a linear (level-up) process not 2 dimensional (level-up, item count) one..

Also - I reckon it does take deuterium to scan Galaxy.
Is it much? Should I try to take a look or better not?

And I found out we're 108th on the alliance list and with pretty poor 'thousand points per player' rating (there's one alliance, #104, which has 126 thousands per player and only one player), so we should get it up!

And I needed to send 4 IPM's to crush some defenses...

[Spiffor]

Err, I meant a lvl 12 metal mine, lvl 12 crystal mine, and a lvl 12 deut mine

Or 12/12/12, to be quick

(Example: my home planet is currently 16/16/15/20, which is not bad at all, but it took me a week and a constant stream of materials from other planets to reach that infrastructure from a 12/12/12 infrastucture)

It's back! Phew.
Galaxy scans cost 10 deut a go. If you scan a galaxy, and then send an espionage probe to a planet, then it'll cost you 20, plus the probe's fuel, because it'll put you back on the screen you were looking at. Worse than that is when you go to the galaxy screen, you automatically see yours. That costs another 10.

Ehrrmm.. site is back up again

[Snotty]

Ive just scanned and recorded the first 50 systems of galaxy 2 looking for kowriv and JOs.

[binTravkin]

Lol, just recieved Spiffor's

Metal:8326 Crystal:5531 Deuterium:1349

- unseen resources on this Planet!

[duke o' york]

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
87143 Metal, 53397 Crystal and 12048 Deuterium

Yay! No hidden battleships there then.

[binTravkin]

A screenie of my system (I hope Im not exposing myself with this):

What the empty planet slots mean btw (can they be filled?)?
And planet's with 'T', like '3', then '3T'?

Congrats with your victory!

[duke o' york]

You can build colony ships to inhabit empty planets - like Grey Warrior has more than one planet in your system.
The T is from whatever the German word for debris is.
When a fleet attacks a planet, then any destroyed ships on either side create a debris field than can be collected with a recycling ship. Free resources.
Moving the cursor over the T shows what is there.
A stands for asteroids (when the mods destroy a planet because the player has abandoned it), and M is for moon - a very rare event, and not something to worry about yet.
