Well, that "pretty good size fleet" came this weekend. I was out and about and not paying too much attention to the game and I didn’t have enough transports to clean out my homeworld. A guy came with 300 Battleships and 25 large cargoes and made away with around 150K deut, 150K crystal and about 70K metal. Fortunately I only had 6 large transports at the place as my fleet was saving. I’m not too worried about it. My production and plans aren’t set back too far and I’m working on rebuilding my defenses/making them stronger than they were before.
He lost two large cargoes and 2 battleships, so I don’ think I did too badly there.
Fun stuff! |

Yep. Already a part of the alliance. Contacted this morning and added to our rolls. I’ll be sending a 100K resource welcome kit this afternoon once all my ships come back from raiding  |

how many metal mine upgrades are required to build until I’m getting a fair amount of metal? I never seem to have enough, even at lvl 12!!
Anyway I just emerged from noob protection, nothing has happened yet. |

Anyway I just emerged from noob protection, nothing has happened yet. Umm, depends what you mean by a fair amount of metal... across my homeworld and 8 colonies, I am producing ~44K metal per hour and it is nowhere near enough for me.
That translates to approximately 1.07 Million metal per 24Hour period in addition to what I can raid and I continually seem to be running low on the stuff. |

Yeah you will soon realize that you are always low on everything.
My account now has 86,000 points.
For you guys that are about to exit n00b protection.
DEFENSE WON"T SAVE YOU!!!
Basically anyboday can hit you once you are past 5,000 points.
THe only way to avoid getting hit is to make sure you resource and fleetsave as much as possible....I got hit by some guy with 1,000 LIght Fighters, 30 Battle cruisers, 10 Destroyers, and 200 Cruisers the other day.
Most defenses would crumple before that..that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have defenses, just realize that they won’t do much. |

The unfortunate thing is that if you don’t have a defense at all, you are making it very very hard to stockpile anything without requiring a huge fleet to resource save...
Yes, a defense won’t save you, but it will prevent stupid attacks of opportunity like being raided by cargo ships. |

That’s on my homeworld. I logged in to 200k deuterium, so if anyone wants to trade, I need other stuff.
I’ve got 2 deut producing planets that I ship to my homeworld each time I log on. Deuterium piles up fast... |
