OGame: The Jedi Decision

[Snotty]

The guy in BTs system in the CHN (china 5 man alliance) tried to attack my colony, but left after I scanned him back. Theres a fair amount of res on his planet but he is active....its just findng where the rest of his alliance is

I think it is largely a Philosophy, like Germanos I am getting bored with the current pattern (I spend more time flying resources between my colonies to fleetsave then I do attacking anyone else). Right now I am still considering myself to be in build mode however as there are so many stronger players out there. By the time Germanos returns from his self imposed holiday I hope we have enough members with 5000+ to take on an opponent of merit. We currently have 9 at that point and more close to acchieving it

I still have no fleet to speak of, and won't until we are starting to plan combined attacks (until then it seems senseless to me to have a bunch of Cruisers and Battleships to attack undefended inactives).

I like a number of binTravkins suggestions and would like to see us co-ordinate our actions.

As for Germanos specific references:
Droth - it was Atragon who was attacked by him (more then once) and he gave us very little information to work with so there was not much we could do to attack him. I still think we need to keep him on the hitlist though.

kowriv - I had forgotten about him honestly. I think I could attack him by now, would need to search again to find where he is and I don't even remember who it was who attacked him.

odino - as stated, a member of Italia, I don't like our options in attacking him (or rather them), but worth keeping an eye on, and hopefully one day we can return the favour. If Odin continues to get attacked by this guy we should re-evaluate.

As for other attacks, I have not heard much, I was attacked yesterday morning my time when I logged on later then expected and lost some 30 cargos (large+small) who returned empty to my undefended colony and got slaughtered off by some 266 Battleships (about 20 minutes before I logged on ). I was able to clean up the debris field by myself so I don't know what the guy gained (he took maybe 8k resources, I suspect he spent a similar amount in Deuterium).

Aside from that I have no enemies, the only other time I have been succesfully attacked was by Superplanet, who COckney and I both attacked (and maybe Skanky too?) with limited results as he seems quite active. Since he joined Federati I haven't scanned him as they are similar power to us.

I would welcome any suggestions of how we can make the game more interesting for all.

Is nobody getting attacked anymore?

I was

Last night by the same Hellas guy (OmadaE) who trashed me a couple of weeks ago. I did fleetsave but after I went to bed a fleet came back from a raid.

The attack took place just 15 minutes before I got up And he didn't even sent cargoes along. 60 battle ships was all it took...

I lost over a thousand points

This guy is really getting on my nerves, so now I'm even more determined to get back at him someday...

This should help, 4 of their members are very high rank

On coordinated attacks:

Inbetween weekends I really only have the time to haul resources between my colonies and the occasional raid every now and then.

But I am all for an alliance attack next weekend on this Droth guy.

I notice a lot of activity around the JO planets in my system. It's really tempting to join the fun...

You might consider attacking during your fleetsave. I do it regularly. Sometimes the rewards are little (since the planet gets raided during the slow travel) but sometimes not. I only fleetsave to my own planets if I have big recources to save and can't risk them getting back early.

Getting a fleet and killing of your direct neighbours pays off, especially if they are in your own system. Travel times are considerably slower, which means more raids per day. Fleets cost considarable fuel to fleetsave though, but the advantage is you can take on defended targets (I've found plenty inactives with defenses) with the reduced risk somebody beats you to the resources.

I'll keep an eye out for him. Hellas is big, but they have a lot of enemies, and the members themselves do not seem to be very strong...

Same here. Unfortunately I will not have the time to play during the week at all.

i've not been on-line for a little while, but some bastard raided two of my colonies, destroying 20 solar sats on one i've got something special planned for him.

[Sparrowhawk]

Care to share who the said bastard is?

IIRC you fall under the noob protection, so strong players cannot attack you. But if I were you I'd spend those resources asap on mines and solar plants. Get your production up as quickly as you can.

[C0ckney]

it's the same dude who attacked hueij, 4:458:10

[Hueij]

Okay, write this guy's name down, I will get back to you about him eventually. Not here though
