you should have enough recources to colonise minimal 2 colonies at start

its also not abnormal to havnt found a neighbour yet. Its a big gal.

I just found my first ally who im allied with now.

Dunno. I signed up too late for 82, so it put me in 83. Still need like 200, so it'll probably start in a few days.

NAP = non agression pact = neither side can attack eachother (planets will turn white on map). Say if they offered a 24 hour nap and you accepted he nor you can attack eachother planets. If some1 breaks the naps it will take 24 hours untill you can attack again. So if they attacked you now its probably not on purpose as its 2 costly this early on the game (only noobs attack now). Thats why they offered a NAP: they dont want to fight (for now anyway). You probably sent ships to the same grey at the same time.

Already built a cruiser? :?

Hmmm... ok... i hope you can spare the recources (that you also could use to colonise) to build a fat cruiser that will be absolete in a week or 2 ;)

I wish I could figure on how to form NAPs and alliances. I attacked a planet belonging to another empire, thinking that my ships wouldn't AUTOMATICALLY attack upon arrival, but make contact. Yeah, 1 of my corvettes and 2 scouts later.....I have a nice shiny new planet that I can't even colonize.

Ya I built a cruiser incase that alliance thought they could push me around. It was only a light wasn't too costly, I'm making mid 200's ore/prod per hour, got 4 colonies, had some luck got a few high ore and high hab greys right by the homeworld. The world they tried to muscle was 90s% ore, they did send 2 scouts to it so I don't think it wasn't a mistake. Had one scout hold them off till cruiser could arrive then they offered 12 hour NAP.

Quick question, how do you know if your minefield and shield gens are working? My scout took a beating was down to 17% hull, but both his scouts where mid 50s%, maybe just luck? They did miss more but still was it the mines hitting?

mines can be very effective when they have high stealth and max 50 scanners on a planet and when your enemy has low hull (mines ignore shields) and low stealth. Beams are the only weapons that can shoot mines with point defence. There was more stuff about mines but i dont really recall everything. Better ask on the space forum whats all good/bad about mines
Planetary shields are simple. The more you have the tougher the planetary shield will be. The enemy has to shoot the shield to 0% before they can bombard the planet (thus killing population and buildings).

My advice is however not to build to many of those yet. Better build econ buildings all the way for now. When you got enough planets and income it can be however good to build on a strategic planet 50 scanners and lotsa minefields. When supported with a strong defencive fleet it can be devastationg when an enemy fleet arrives. Weapon platforms give good defence for a low cost but they cant move.


Bah my ally is inactive, doesnt want to trade planets (while i gave one, he doesnt want to give any back + he has 4 supergood habs for me). I keep him a bit longer because i can share his oomari speed for now

oh and another noobish mistake, DO NOT recruit an officer right now. Its horrible expensive this early on and it will help you jack shit. They are good when they have high experience but in order to do that they must have killed loads of enemy ships and in order to do thatyou need lotsa ships yourself

I made first contact with another n00b, he has only 3 systems.
He is pretty low ranked. Should I build a fleet and attack him?

i think its better to colonise planets and get easy greys.

Having 3 planets that probably his homeplanet and 2 uncolonised systems he took with his scouts and after that he didnt played. sending your 2 scouts at once at his systems with 1 scout should be a certain victory. However, if you run into his homeplanet it will be defended by a weapon platform in whic case your scouts are toast. (you'll need like 10-15 frigates with starttech to do the job IIRC.
To be sure you better scout the system in advance (see fleet orders). If the planet has 99-100% ore and 1095 land you can be pretty sure its his homeplanet

My response
Chardok wrote:Sorry for not replying sooner, this is my first game here, and I'm not familiar with the goings-on. As to your "Proposal" I say Thank you, but no thank you.

Additionally, I regret to inform you that any attempt to take over any of the brood of Di'Zok worlds will result in the untimely and rapid destruction of any of your forces entering our region of space.

The Brood does not take kindly to threats, squishy one, nor do we accept any alliance worded in the form of an ultimatum. In the future, I suggest a more diplomatic approach.

Finally, while we will not engage in overt aggression against your empire, rest assured that we will defend with the fervor of a free people, we will not be yoked. We will not be leashed. Attack us and you will be crushed.

Have a very nice day.

It's his homeworld, I think I will colonise more planets before I attack him.
I'm rank 116 now, is this good or bad for a N00b?.

So the only way to expand it to colonize and jump one planet at a time over? Should i colonize fringe planets just to get more systems? I'm basically going opposite direction of alliance above me, should I start colonizing the other directions too?

I just kicked the shit out of that guy with my HOME1 fleet of 6 ships. Including 2 heavy frigates, 2 medium scouts and a light cruiser. All with slightly upgraded weapons/shields.

Only 57 more players needed for galaxy 83 to start. I'm so excited I could just shit.

And, yeah, if anyone out there on SD.net wants an ally (a noob ally, but an ally nevertheless) you can count me in.

i think ill be in g83 also. Im playing with an acount at G79 but my alliance members seem to chicken out at the first sign of bad luck in war.

I rather have members who play to the death or even beat the odds and prevail but this time i got an alliance of wussies :x
