[3074326]

Do any of you play OGame?

If you don't know what it is.. http://www.ogame.org

Hopefully some people play and there can be a nice discussion..

[mutant!]

I do now. I love this kind of thing. I'm signing up for universe 21.

EDIT: ...oooorrrrr not. Stupid South African NAT gateway.

[ThisGuy]

bump

This game is great. I use to play in universe 14(SN: Spaceman Spiff) and got into the 300s(rank) a while ago, but I got fleetcrashed. I was getting bored with the game before the fleetcrash anyways since I was really uber and no one ever dared to touch me. I've been giving away all my resources to my friend since then. I'm also in the process of rebuilding 115 battle ships so I could attack him. Hopefully, he'll get lucky enough and get a moon. I'm pretty sure his defence is strong enough not get dented by my attack.

I'd be great if we could start an official MX alliance in universe 22. It just started a couple days ago so everyone has a chance to play from the start. My name is Spaceman Spiff in universe 22.

EDIT: 3074326, what universe are you in?

[bradc1988]

Someone provide a quick summary so I can decide whether it's worth playing,

Thanks.

[ThisGuy]

The game isn't really graphical, but still fun. It's a text based game. You basicaly start off with a planet and some crystal and metal. With those resources, you build a metal mine and a crystal mine. When you get enough resources from those mines, you could upgrade them and they'll produce more crystal and metal/ per hour. The game starts off slow this way but it gets faster once you start attacking other planets. After you're comfortable with the amount your mines produce, you start building some buidings that allow you to do research and build ships. The research is used to come up with new technologies. When you upgrade your research and buildings enough, you'll be able to start building ships. You use those ships to attack other planets and steal their resources so you could use them on your own planet. You could also build defences on your own planet that make it harder for your planet to get raided.

There really isn't a point to this game. The goal is to compete with rest of the other players to get the best rank possible. I know it doesn't seem that fun but it gets addictive after a while.

[bradc1988]

Are there rounds that end every so often or is it endless?

[here comes the bird flu]

Looks kind of cool. But my resources say it costs money?

[ThisGuy]

Are there rounds that end every so often or is it endless?
The universes(you could call it a server) are endless, but new universes are created every so often if you want to start over.

But my resources say it costs money?
wait, what? costs money? do you mean energy? mines require energy so you have to upgrade your powerplant to power the mines. Sorry if I didn't answer you question. I'm not sure what you mean.

[bradc1988]

He is saying that someone told him it ain't free to play, I think?

Most games I play like this are free to play, but you can pay for extra turns or whatever accumulates over the time.

[ThisGuy]

no, it's free, but there's a payed extra called Ogame Commander. It gives you extra features like more message storage space and other neat things. Overall, it makes playing more user friendly. It doesn't really effect gameplay in terms of having an advantage over everyone else though.

EDIT: oh, now I get it. I thought he meant crystal/metal when he said resources.

[ThisGuy]

I just started an MX alliance. Just go the alliance section and search for MX Alliance. Fill out the application and I'll accept you. We'll think of a better name later.

[eseer erre]

Sounds like the Swirve.com games.

To play..it costs money..

[[Nightbreak]]

I've applied to the alliance.

[ThisGuy]

so yeah...it's free..

Nightwish, I accepted you. Anyone else who's playing, apply as soon as possible. You're less likely to be attacked if you're in some alliace.

[ThisGuy]

Here's a usefull site for those of you who are just starting.
http://www.ogametips.com/
and a forum
http://board.ogame.org/

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Right now I recommend you upgrade your mines to level 8. Metal is more important than crystal in the beggining so make that your main priority. You could keep the deut mine to level 3-4 for now since it's not important early in the game either. Also, make sure you have enough energy for you mines. If the energy ratio is in red, then you need upgrade the solar plant some more.

Read the technology section to see the prerequisites for every building, ship, defence, and technology.

[Against Miik!]

I don't accept the terms and conditions.

[tele_more]

ok, i started playing, now wtf do i do?

[ThisGuy]

If any of you have played Starcraft, then you kind have an idea of how the game works.

ok, i started playing, now wtf do i do?
go to "Buildings" and upgrade your solar plant. Then upgrade your metal and crystal mines. The more you upgrade it, the more your mines will produce per hour. Try to get your crystal and metal mines to level 8 and your deuterium to 3. For every crystal and metal mine you upgrade, you'll need to upgrade your solar plant once in order for the mines to have sufficient power. If you upgrade your deut mine, then you'll require more solar plant upgrades. The game is kind of slow like that in the beginning. When you do this, upgrade your robotics factory twice. Then you'll see the option for a shipyard. Upgrade that once and you'll be able to buy ships and defence. Later on, you'll be able to attack other planets and steal their resources.

[tele_more]

oh ok, i'm starting to kind of get the gist of it-

[tele_more]

Man, I'm in the red in energy and don't have enough metal to build more solar plants.

How long does it take for the resources to build up?

[ThisGuy]

click on the mine pictures and it'll give you a more indepth description. You'll also see a chart that tells you how much you produce per hour for each level. Just do the math to figure out how many hours/minutes it'll take to reach the amount you need.

[tele_more]

this is pretty alright, i kind of like that it's so slow at the beginning.

[[Nightbreak]]

Nightwish, I accepted you.
It's Nightbreak mate. Nightwish is a cruddy band.

So who else is in our alliance? And what's everybody's location? Since I can't find a place to see these informations....

[bradc1988]

I'll do it on the weekend, I'll probably use the same name there.

[numetaljordan]

i cant find the mx alliance

[ThisGuy]

So who else is in our alliance? And what's everybody's location? Since I can't find a place to see these informations....
Click on allinace on the menu located at the left. Then click on "4 (Members List). You'll see all our members with our coordinates

i cant find the mx alliance
are you sure you're doing it right? Click on allinace and then type "MX Alliance" where it says Find(maybe it says search. I don't remember) Click on the "MX Alliance" when you find it and fill out the application.

[[Nightbreak]]

Click on allinace on the menu located at the left. Then click on "4 (Members List). You'll see all our members with our coordinates
I don't see the (members list) bit. Just the 4.

[ThisGuy]

That's weird. You should see something like this.

and when you click on it
http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/3779/allianceno5.jpg

I think someone in my old alliance had the same problem but it started working after a while. Maybe try deleting you cache/coockies. I really have no idea

[tele_more]

to find the alliance type in 'Mx'


i couldn't find it under 'Mx Alliance'


/is signing in to see how decent the mining went last nite...

[bradc1988]

Ok I'm about to start this, I'll go through that little guide up there ^^ and see if I can figure out what's going on.

[telewhore]

I can help (with the beginning at least.)

[telewhore]

It should be known that this game is slow. Slow slow slow. I've been playing for two days, and I'm still harvesting resources. I haven't built any ships or defenses or anything.

Though I am getting giddy about eventually being able to raid my neighbors. :D

[bradc1988]

What Universe are you chumps in?

Damn, that's really really slow.

[telewhore]

Yea, but i have a feeling it'll pick up pretty soon. maybe.

i'm in universe 22, but i don't think you get to pick which you are.


i kind of like it's pace, it gives me time to think things over, and then do it, and then i can go about and do what i have to do. i'll prolly get slaughtered when i go on my first raid or whatever though. :(

[bradc1988]

Ok I'm Lollipops, I use that for these types of games.

/reading guide

[telewhore]

I'm telemore, lol

i'll try and find you when i get ships and stuff. :(

[bradc1988]

Ok now to play the waiting game.

How come I can't view anything when I click alliance? Usually there's an overview of the members but it takes me to a useless page with no info. wtf?

[telewhore]

i don't know, i don't see anything either.

i'm almost ready to build a robotics factory, i need more deuterium, but i should be good by next time i log in. :)

[ThisGuy]

i kind of like it's pace, it gives me time to think things over, and then do it, and then i can go about and do what i have to do. i'll prolly get slaughtered when i go on my first raid or whatever though. :(
You probably won't. Before you attack someone, you have to send espionage probes to the planet you're interested in. The probes will come back with info like buiding levels, research levels, number and type of ships/defence. If you're strong enough, you should go ahead and attack him. If you don't know if you're strong enought to win, you could use this program to predict the results of the battle. You have to enter info from your planet and info from the planet you're raiding
http://sourceforge.net/projects/speedsim

Also, ships may take hours to arrive on other planets so the defender may get a chance to send all their resources somewhere else before you attack. Later on stealing resources from other planets may not be enough. You'll have to look for fleets to crash. After every battle, the ships that where destroyed leave a certain amount of resources floating in the planet's orbit. You collect those resouces by sending recyclers. Considering all of this, it's a good idea to send your ships on useless missions so they don't get destroyed by a more powerfull fleet.

[telewhore]

I'm diggin this, even if I feel uber nerd playing it.

I'm at Lev 7 Metal Mine

Lev 5 Crystal

Lev 4 Deuterium

Lev 7 Solar plant.

I'm waiting for my metal and deuterium to come up a bit, and i'll build a robotics factory.

[[Nightbreak]]

This game's cool, still unable to see my allies.

Lv. 5 Metal
Lv. 5 Crystal
Lv. 2 Deut. (Will be put up last)
Lv. 6 Solar (Energy runs out FAST!)

[telewhore]

How's everyone at now?

Metal - lvl 8

Crystal - lvl 7

Deuterium - lvl 5

Solar - lvl 9

Robotics Factory - lvl 2

Shipyard - lvl 2

Research Lab - lvl 1



how do i build ships? like where do i go?

[[Nightbreak]]

Click Technology, it tells you what you need to have to build certain ships. You need drive types.

Things are starting to get expensive. My lv.4 Deut ain't enough to sustain me if I want to be building/researching all the time.

Metal: 7

Crystal: 5

Deut: 4

Solar: 9

Robotics: 2

Shipyard: 1

Research Lab: 1

I've also researched energy technology to lv.1

[bradc1988]

Ok we have to work together to build a deathstar, for utter PWNage.

Argh things are taking to long to build, why can't I build two things at once!

I think my levels at the moment are;

Metal: 8
Crystal: 4
Deuterium: 2
Solar: 7 > 8 slowwww

I'll probably build a Research Lab soon and a Shipyard, and probably a Robotics Factory. But I'm off to bed while my Solar Plant upgrades.

[ThisGuy]

buildings/research starts to take days when you're a bit more advanced so don't be complaining now. As for the deathstar, my friend just recently got one has he's been playing for over 8 months.


Metal Mine (level 12)
Crystal Mine (level 8)
Deuterium Synthesizer (level 4)
Solar Plant (level 12)
Robotics Factory (level 2)
Shipyard (level 2)
Research Lab (level 2)
Energy Technology (level 1)
Combustion Drive (level 1)
1 rocket launcher

55 points (Rank 2050 of 8541)

[bradc1988]

This Alliance thing is a little stupid, I can't even see who's in ours. Surely I'm missing something? Or is there no way to see the people in our Alliance?

[ThisGuy]

Quit the alliance and rejoin. Maybe that will work.

77 (Rank 1609 of 8733)
106 more places untill I get a spot in the statistics page.

[telewhore]

k, i just logged in for the evening - researching computer first, and i'm also upgrading my metal to lvl 9.

i'm still confused about building ships n stuff

[ThisGuy]

tele, go the the technology page. It tells you the requirements for everything. To build a light fighter you need shipyard level 1 and combustion level 1. Combustion level 1 requires energy technology level 1 and research lab level 1. Once you meet those requirements, go to shiyard on the menu and it'll let you build it.

[telewhore]

oshi, i've never been to that page before.


lol, thanks!

[telewhore]

ack!

i effed up and am building a whole bunch of shi, though it's defense and stuff, but i don't wanna build it all, cause then i'll have zero resources >: |

is there a way i can undo what in the build queue?

[ThisGuy]

you can't cancel ships/defence

[telewhore]

yea


oh well. i'll have three rocket launchers and a solar satellite.


lol

:(

[ThisGuy]

Solar Satellites are completely worthless in the beginning. Don't bother with them untill way later into the game when solar plant upgrades are expensive as ****. They only give you like 30 energy. You get more energy out of a satellite if you're closer to sun.

[telewhore]

im in the sixth slot, which i assume is sixth from the sun?


yea, i'll keep away from them until later on.

[[Nightbreak]]

I left mine working while I went to work, and slept. NOw I have lots of resources, and victory shall be mine! Gonna quit the alliance and rejoin, I'm fed up of not being able to see my teammates.

[bradc1988]

Yeah I quit and am waiting to be accepted. So you are sposed to see the people in your alliance when you click on alliance right?

[telewhore]

yea, you're supposed to

[ThisGuy]

Yeah I quit and am waiting to be accepted. So you are sposed to see the people in your alliance when you click on alliance right?
when you click on alliance and then click on members list

[ThisGuy]

I accidently kicked one of you guys out of the alliance. Rejoin whoever it was.

[bradc1988]

wtf? there is no "member list"?

My print screen doesn't work so I'll save the page and upload it.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=4B470A583F911A21

[[Nightbreak]]

I got incoming! My coords are 2:440:7. The attacking fleet is coming from 2:440:4. ETA 1 hour, 10mins.

EDIT: If it ain't obvious, please defend me/attack him.

[bradc1988]

If I had any ships or defence at all I'd help.

I don't even have a Shipyard yet.

[[Nightbreak]]

Oh well. There's nothing he can kill aside from my single rocket launcher. My mines have been turned off, so I only have small amounts of each resource.

[[Nightbreak]]

W00t!!! I own the battle!! There's now a small debris field at my planet.

[[Nightbreak]]

Hmm, the guy who attacked me the other day really seems to have it in for me. He attacked with more power this time, stealing quite a lot of me resources. If anyone could lay a hit on 2:440:4 it would be very much appreciated.

NB: Still can't see alliance members.

[Dead Star]

I can't join the alliance, it doesnt come up.

Is it because I'm in universe 20?

[ThisGuy]

yup, you have to be in universe 22 to be part of the alliance. You live in an alternate universe where coin flips are the opposite of what they are here.

[Dead Star]

I see.

I'll start again then :p

/put an application in to join

[bradc1988]

Futurama reference?

Still can't see alliance members, which is lame.

[ThisGuy]

Dead Star, you have a lot of posts, but I don't remember your name so I'm assuming you changed it. I haven't really posted in a while so I'm not up with name changes. Who were you before?

Futurama reference?
you know it

Still can't see alliance members, which is lame.
I'm gonna ask in the ogame forum in a bit. I'll see if they know anything.

[ThisGuy]

alright, I figured it out. I had to create different types of ranks with different privileges and then assign the type of rank to each person. You guys should now be able to see the members list and send circular messages.

And this is my first succesfull attack.

At 08-01 06:44:21 the following fleets met in battle::

Attacker Spaceman Spiff (2:176:8)
Weapons: 0% Shields: 0% Armour: 10%
Type S.Cargo L.Fighter
Total 2 4
Weapons 5 50
Shields 10 10
Armour 440 440

Defender Hitman Assassin (2:177:11)
Weapons: 0% Shields: 0% Armour: 0%
destroyed

The attacker has won the battle!
He captured
4927 metal, 4927 crystal, and 344 deuterium


The attacker lost a total of 0 units.
The defender lost a total of 0 units.
At these space coordinates now float 0 metal and 0 crystal.

[bradc1988]

Yay, the member list link is there now.

I'm number 1!

[ThisGuy]

Have any of you guys made it into the statistics page yet? My rank is 1289 and our alliance is ranked 52.

[[Nightbreak]]

Getting there on the points front, just building up my defenses a bit atm because this knobber keeps attacking me. I'll start fighting when I can get L. Cargos and H. Fighters.

BTW Spiff/ThisGuy, what else have you got, offensively. This dude who keeps attacking me really could use an arse kicking, but I can't find anyway to find out how many points he's got and therefore how many/few fleet he has.

[telewhore]

aight, i'm upping my solars and doing the last bits of research so i can some defenses up.


:)

[ThisGuy]

BTW Spiff/ThisGuy, what else have you got, offensively.
do you mean what's in my fleet? I only have 8 light fighters and 2 cargos. For defence, I have 11 rocket launchers.

have you built espionage probes yet? You could spy on his planet to see what type of stuff he has. If you haven't built any yet, just give me his coords and I'll see what he has

btw, your arrested development avatar wins big time.

Getting to espionage probes once I have lv.3 Combustion. Need to save up another K of Deut, a K I would have had but for my galaxy-mate who keeps attacking me. His coords are elsewhere above this post in this thread.

Arrested Development? What's that? My avatar is my ex-band's logo. It says Xyngya. We rocked hard, just without a drummer. Living in a small town sucks :(

[ThisGuy]

oh sorry, that avatar comment was meant for vbradc1988.

This is what he had at the time I spied on him. He might just have his fleet somewhere else at the moment. I did notice that he has a debris field on his planet so many someone destroyed him.

Fair enough. I'll just wait until I can kick his arse. Maybe a team attack would be cool in the future, when deut is more abundant.

[bradc1988]

Arrested Development = PWN

I'm slowly building on there, what ships should I build?

[telewhore]

I'd like to know too.

I think I'm gonna build my defense up pretty decently, then I'm gonna go up for a fleet.

[Dead Star]

I'm still building up my economy atm =/

[telewhore]

lol, i've got economy.


:p I've got loads of material. upgrading my researches atm.

[bradc1988]

Yeah I'm still making buildings for resources, and doing research here and there.

My whole defence consists of a rocket launcher and some laser gun...don't tell anyone.

[telewhore]

i've got three rocket launchers and i'm bout to build some small lasers and then big lasers

[Dead Star]

My whole planet consists of a solar plant, and 3 mines.

Do research facilities need power?

[telewhore]

damn, nightbreak wasn't playin around. he's beatin me in points. >: (


edit, i don't think so...but i don't think they do.

[bradc1988]

I'm not doing to bad considering I was the 2nd last to join.

I'm fairly sure that they don't need power, because they're nothing until you start using them to build/research something which uses the resources.

That made sense when I thought about it but that sentence probably doesn't explain my theory well.

[telewhore]

yea, they don't have a listing for using any power when you click on them, so i don't think they do.

[Dead Star]

Thats good, upgrading thy solar plant is immensely gay.

Soon I'll be able to start building facilities, My metal mine is at 7 and my crystal at 4.

[ThisGuy]

Research doesn't use up any power.

bradc1988, whoa, you have lasers already? I'm not even that advanced yet.

so I'm slowly going up in the ranks. Any of you made it into the stats page yet?

Are you guys in Uni 22? If you are I'll sign up for that universe, too. I'm getting close to being ranked in Uni 1. Only about 100 more ranks to gain and I'll be top 1500. :)

oh wow, you're actually playing in uni 1? People must freaken uber there.

Other than me, everyone here is a noob to this game so nobody is gonna be near you in uni 1. We all started new games in Uni 22 and I made an alliance called MX Alliance (we'll think of something more original later) so send in an application. I could make you an alliance leader since you're probably the most experienced player out of all of us.

[3074326]

Haha, Uni 1 is interesting. People are either really small or really big. I've had a few nice fleet crashes. I'll post them if you guys want to see them. :D

I'll sign up for Uni 22 now.

I haven't got to use nearly my whole fleet yet. :(

[Dead Star]

Whoa, you must have some fleet going on there Mr 3074326

[telemost]

that's pretty cool.


i'm just now building light fighters and lasers. :(

[Dead Star]

I'm upgrading my mines.

Still.

[3074326]

Whoa, you must have some fleet going on there Mr 3074326

It's nothing compared to the bigger fleets in Uni 1, but I'm getting close to 200 cruisers and 200 battleships.

There's a guy I've seen with over 15,000 battleships. :amaze:

I just upgraded my metal to level 25. Crystal is next.. expensive stuff.

How much is it for upgrades like that?

And how long do they take :amaze:

oshi



i've neglected upgrading my crystal, and it's like, i can do one upgrade at a time, and then it's wiped out. :( i'm upgrading crystal atm.

[Dead Star]

Mine are looking like:

Metal: 8
Crystal: 7
Deut:1
Solar: 8

And a robotics factory.

I'm upgradiung Deut atm though.

Meh, I've crashed way bigger fleets in uni 14. I started getting bored of the game a while ago so I stopped fleesaving and one day my whole fleet got crashed. I'm Spaceman Spiff
http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=115138&hilight=Spaceman+Spiff

A week ago I started using my mine resources to build 1680 light fighters so I could attack my friend to give him a moon. After all that work, I attacked him today and he didn't get one even with a 20% chance. This is his report.

dead star, i'm not much further ahead of you man.

Thats reassuring, I thought I was properly bad at this heh.

[3074326]

Haha, I haven't done too much crashing in Uni 1 because the fleets are unbelievably huge most of the time.. I found a fleet of 300 cruisers that would be a HOF hit, but I need some IPMs to take out his 1000 light lasers. After I get those IPMs built, I'll recycle his fleet. :D

How long have you been playing in Uni 14? I've only been playing for about four months.

[ThisGuy]

I think I've been playing uni 14 for a 6-8 months but I stopped playing seriously like 2 months ago. All I'm doing in uni 14 now is helping out a couple friends by giving them my resources. One of them is ranked 68.

Surprisingly I'm in the 800s even though I haven't been playing. I was in the 400s 2 months ago.

[3074326]

Start playing again!

I'm probably going to have trouble managing two accounts, but we'll see how it goes. This game takes up so much time it's weird. :\

[Matt?]

i haven't played but from reading i'm pretty confused?

is this like an online age of empires-ish thing?

[bradc1988]

oh noes :eek:

A hostile fleet from Bob Mar write message from planet Mother [3:81:9] is approaching planet Milky Bar [3:81:5]. Its mission is: Attack.

!!!

Edit: Do I have to do anything to get my Light Laser/Rocket Launcher to defend me? Or as soon as they finish building they're already doing so?

[3074326]

As soon as they finish building they're ready. 70% of your defenses rebuild after attack.

When does his fleet get there and when are your defenses done building?

I started an account in Uni 22. I need deut before I can apply though. My coords are 2:75:5.

i haven't played but from reading i'm pretty confused?

is this like an online age of empires-ish thing?

It's a space/battle simulation game where you build up to nine planets from scratch. The game is based on points. Each point = 1000 resources used. The resources are metal, crystal, and deuterium. Metal and crystal are mainly used for buildings and ships, and deuterium is fuel. They're all used for research. Research allows you to get better ships, better defenses, and better buildings. The point of the game is to gain the most points and become the most powerful player in the universe.

It's a great game if you're into that kind of thing.

[telemore_]

i haven't played but from reading i'm pretty confused?

is this like an online age of empires-ish thing?
nah, it's text based for the most part. maybe it's like aoe, i've never played it. :p

but, it's pretty cool. takes a while to get into it, but it's not hard (right now) or anything. umm, it's free. give a try bro.

[bradc1988]

Just over 20 minutes away.

The only form of defence I can muster is 2 Light Lasers and 2 Rocket Launchers...I'm so screwed.

[3074326]

Haha, show us the CR when it gets there. Do you have any cargo ships yet?

[bradc1988]

I'm nearly finished upgrading my combustion drive to be able to build a small cargo.

Oh wait, that finished already and I don't have enough resources to build one as I made those defences.

[3074326]

Alright. If I were you, I'd focus on getting a couple small cargos then going for large cargos. If someone were to attack you, you could send your resources on an attack mission to an inactive or to another colony, then recall before it got to the destination. That way your resources will be safe from being stolen, even if you are attacked.

If you already knew that, sorry. You know twice now. :p

[ThisGuy]

I started an account in Uni 22. I need deut before I can apply though. My coords are 2:75:5.
why do you need deut before applying?

bradc, how many ships is he sending? Use up as many resources as possible and send him a message saying all your resources are gone. He might recall.

[bradc1988]

How do I find out how many he is sending?

He ain't online, so sending a message is useless. I'm trying to use up as much as I can.

[3074326]

I can't apply from the alliance page, so I'll just have to find a user in the universe. The galaxy screen takes 10 deut.

There's probably another way, but I've only applied to an alliance one time. Haha

I think you need espionage to level 8 to see how many ships are being sent to you. It might be 6.. I don't remember. Just move your cursor over "fleet" where it says "A hostile fleet" and see what it says.

[ThisGuy]

click on "alliance" and search for mx.

I went up 99 ranks.
318 (Rank 605 of 10263)

[3074326]

I can't apply to the alliance from the search screen.

[bradc1988]

Haha I've got like espionage level 1, when I hover my cursor over it a blank dialogue comes up.

Hopefully he doesn't wipe me!

10 minutes

[ThisGuy]

no, don't go to search. Click on the alliance page. If I remember correctly, there's an option to find an alliance.

[3074326]

Haha, I searched and found the alliance, I just can't apply to it from that page.

[ThisGuy]

I'm positve that you can. Click on the alliance tag, not the alliance name. Then it'll send you to the application.

[telemore_]

nah, if you go through alliance, not search, it doesn't cost you.

i got in with nothing.

[3074326]

Ooooh, I'm an idiot. Sorry about that..

The guy who attacked you is an idiot. He lost much more than he gained.

EDIT: I applied, after I figured out how stupid I am. :D

[bradc1988]

Hm, I didn't seem to lose that much, just a rocket launcher and some resources. There's a small debris field, I wish I had a cargo thing to go get it.

Or is it a recycler I need?

[ThisGuy]

hah, that's great. He lost 2 ships!

[telemore_]

haha


all i get around me are messages of people passing by. lol. :(

[bradc1988]

I've had the same guy pass by me a bunch of times the last few days, 0% chance of attack.

The guy who just attacked me sent me this;

08-03 08:47:22 Bob Mar [3:81:9] no subjectanswer
you lost:)

[telemore_]

lol, but he lost quite abit of **** in the process

[3074326]

lol, send him a message telling him that he lost 8000 units and gained around 1000. That was a terrible attack on his part. He may have won the battle, but he's still a ****ing idiot for saying that you lost.

[telemore_]

i've got three rocket launchers and four lasers for my defense so far.

idon't have any ships though. :( lol

[[Nightbreak]]

I'm building some fleet now, I'm gonna save the rest of my stuff so I can get Lv.2 Impulse tomorrow.

I'll soon have 5 Light Fighters :) I'll get a couple of cargo ships tomorrow too, so I can go a-raiding. Once I've got Enough res, and have lv.2 Impulse, I'll get some heavy fighters. then the real wars will begin.

Chris, how did you do the circular message?

[3074326]

Click alliance, then you'll see "send circular message" in the middle of the screen.

[ThisGuy]

well, this sucks. I forgot to respy on someone before my fleet arrived at his planet, and I lost 3 small cargos and 2 light fighters

so anyone here have any ideas for our alliance picture? If any of you have any good graphic design skills and want to make one for the alliance, go right ahead and post it.

[3074326]

I'll see what I can do. I don't have any pictures of ships, but I might be able to make something decent looking with the MX logo.

I might be able to get a friend to sign up for Uni 22.. are we just keeping it strictly MX or are we an open alliance?

[telemore]

Does anyone want to take over my account for me? I'm going to be computer-less for a few weeks/a month.

Message me in the game, and I'll give you my password if anyone's interested.

edit - I'm telemore. in the alliance and what not.


sorry, i forgot my new name was nothing telemore esque. :)

[bradc1988]

Just send it to everyone who's in there now, so whoever feels like it can log in and build some stuff for ya.

[telemore]

oarsome idea

it's on it's way.

[bradc1988]

Wait!!!!!

No one log into Telemore's just yet. Just like a lot of these games you're only allowed 1 account per universe, so I think when you log into his you'll need to use a proxy to hide your IP.

This sucks I went from being ranked in the 500s to 1861 since that attack.

[[Nightbreak]]

I'm just upgrading my research Lab and raiding folk at the minute. There's a few very large DFs in and around my system, so I want recyclers before everyone else. Crystal is at a premium atm, so I've got lots of spare metal. I just keep spending it on armour tech for something to have that's better, without wasting the crystal I need so badly. Got a heavy fighter now too :)

[ThisGuy]

I'm gonna start playing universe 14 again. There's only like 3 people from my old alliance that are still playing but they joined another alliance. They convinced to try to join but I need to be in the top 500 to play so I'm gonna focus my attention on uni 14 more. I'm still gonna play uni 22 but not as much.

Moonshots don't seem to make sense.. seems like it takes 20 times to plan a moonshot, but a noob could get hit with a 1% moon and get it. There are a few noobs in my alliance with noobs, none of the higher ranked players who have tried to get them have moons. Haha

Is that worth my while attacking, and how do I attack a place with no defences?
Yes it's worth attacking but ffs send more than one espionage probe at it at once. I lost a fleet due to only sending one esp. probe, when 2 would have told me that he did have stuff. Your reports lie to you unless you have kickass esp tech and a few probes in the same fleet.

Soon, you will find Crystal to be at an absolute premium. Finding a target with that much of it there means they're most likely saving (other option is that they havn't been on due to sleep and/or work) and therefore probably have a fleet.

Some fag just attacked me and wiped all my solar satellites out so now I have to wait until I get 22k in metal to upgrade my solar plant...and again he lost more than he gained.

Damn nubs.

[[Nightbreak]]

Don't use satellites, they suck. They're only worth having if you can be sure of wiping out an attacking fleet before they even get to fire.

[bradc1988]

Yeah but I needed something in the meantime whilst my resoucres got high enough to build the next Solar Plant, which needs;

Requirements: Metal: 21.894 Crystal: 8.757

ffs the same guy keeps attacking me, I was planning on building a Shield Dome but he did a lot of damage...

Get more L. Laser, they give you the most bang for your buck. It's a shame you're a whole galaxy away from me, I'd come and find him when I get some more stuff.

[Dead Star]

That happened to me, I was away for a few days, and somebody thieved all my stuff.

[3074326]

I might not be as active in Uni 22 for a few days. I need to keep an eye on things in Uni 1 for a while. We're at war right now, and a huge player declared war on our entire alliance. He's big enough to do some serious damage.

[ThisGuy]

I haven't had a fleet for a while since I got a attacked. I just found out the attacker made a thread about it in the ogame forum. That bastard! =[

[Dead Star]

ugh I'm about to get attacked again.

Why does everyone attack me when I'm sleeping.

[[Nightbreak]]

I don't know about anyone else, but from my view the planets called Homeworld are the best to attack. They always seem to be n00b and easy to pwn. There's also usually a nice profit involved.

Therefore, change your planet's name to something else to Homeworld, it may be inviting attacks.

[Dead Star]

How is it you do that? heh

It seriously wasn't worth it for him was it?

[[Nightbreak]]

How is it you do that? heh
On the overview screen, it will say "Planet Homeworld (DeadStar)"

Click that.

And that attack was pointless, I'm just spying my way around atm, trying to find a decent raid.

[ThisGuy]

We just declared war in uni 1, it's fun. :D
I just heard that the attack limit per planet was lifted a while ago. You could attack a planet as many times as you want. Isn't war kind of redundant now?

[3074326]

You can attack six times in 24 hours.

This war isn't that great, I have a bunch of inactive guys near me. Those attacks are boring. I've been looking for people in other alliances lately.. the war has gotten old.

I'm in vacation mode in Uni 22, I'm still going to be busy even though I'm not doing too much in that war.

I'll be ranked in Uni 1 soon. Hopefully within the next week. :D

[Amit]

i've just started i dunno what to do

[[Nightbreak]]

Build mines and power plants.

[bradc1988]

If any of you have played Starcraft, then you kind have an idea of how the game works.


go to "Buildings" and upgrade your solar plant. Then upgrade your metal and crystal mines. The more you upgrade it, the more your mines will produce per hour. Try to get your crystal and metal mines to level 8 and your deuterium to 3. For every crystal and metal mine you upgrade, you'll need to upgrade your solar plant once in order for the mines to have sufficient power. If you upgrade your deut mine, then you'll require more solar plant upgrades. The game is kind of slow like that in the beginning. When you do this, upgrade your robotics factory twice. Then you'll see the option for a shipyard. Upgrade that once and you'll be able to buy ships and defence. Later on, you'll be able to attack other planets and steal their resources.

Bumped for Eggo

Come join our alliance too, do a search for MX and apply.

[Amit]

yeah i already did that

cool thanks bro

Haha, nation states! I used to play that with some other forum I'm a regular in. It was cool at first but then everyone stopped playing a couple weeks later.

[[Nightbreak]]

After a couple of days of immense activity, I shot up nealy 200 points! Go me!

Building L. Cargos and a recycler atm.

[ThisGuy]

Heh, even I don't have large cargos yet. Too be honest, recyclers are really useless this early in the game. I doubt you'll be able to find a fleet to crash that'll give you 20,000 resources. You'd be better off just finding another planet to raid instead of wasting a slot to recycle. Recyclers are also slow as hell so you could probably raid two planets during the time it takes to recycle some debris.

I started rebuilding my fleet today. I now have 13 light fighters and 5 small cargos.

705 (Rank 1222 of 13492)

[Amit]

is there anyway for the site to keep you logged in omg

[ThisGuy]

yeah, I know. It's really annoying. I don't think you can. I had this ogame plugin for firefox that would atleast automatically select the correct universe for you and put in your account name when you enter the main ogame page. It's not as convenient as just logging you in all together, but it's slightly less annoying. I reformated my hard drive since then and I lost all my bookmarks/plugins. I can't remember what it's called but I'll try to look for it.

I just saw this in the ogame forum
http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=152167

I myself have gotten this virus message several times while on ogame. At first I just got this download screen that popped up in firefox asking where I wanted to save a wmf file. I thought it was strange but I just igonred it and cancelled it. Then finally today AVG told me I had a virus in my cache. I'm worried that that I might already be infected since I'm guessing the virus was disguised as a the picture on the add. Maybe it's the virus that's contacting a server to download that file(the actual virus?) firefox keeps on asking me where to save. I searched google and AVG hasn't released a patch for it yet.

[[Nightbreak]]

Just a note, I may be on the road to a fleetcrash soon. 2:447:7 and 2:447:8 (in unrelated alliances) attacked me with Esp. Probes at 0749 and 1430 today (timesgiven are server time). For those who don't know, the purpose if this is to make a DF that can be harvested 1 seond after the attack hits (with proper timing of sending the main fleet). So those near me (closest within reason are sgt_pepper, Telemore, spiff) if you're interested in an ACS attack soon on these 2 great, but I'd really appreciate some ACS defend if/when I need it.

[bradc1988]

This sucks the same guy keeps attacking me, wiped out all my defences except some crappy rocket launchers. He is ranked 390!!! How unfair is that I'm ranked like in the 2000s.

This sucks the same guy keeps attacking me, wiped out all my defences except some crappy rocket launchers. He is ranked 390!!! How unfair is that I'm ranked like in the 2000s.

Lame
bradc1988, the most important thing to do to survive in ogame is fleetsaving. I'm under the assumption that you don't do this since you keep on getting attacked. Before going to sleep or any time that know you won't be online, you have to fleetsave your ships and resources. You do this buy sending your entire fleet on a mission while you're away and time it so it'll come back when you have a chance to get online. You have a few options for fleetsaving. The most common way it to just attack an inactive planet with no defence. The other way is to send your fleet along with some recyclers on a recycling mission to collect any debris from a planet nearby. Later on when you get colonies, you could simply just send your fleet on a deployment or transport missions.

I know it's annoying as hell, but crucial nonetheless. Back when I was new to the game I had the same problem of getting attacked repeatedly. It stops after you start fleetsaving.

[bradc1988]

Interesting, if I had a ship left I'd try it. What sucks to is I have no resources to start rebuidling straight away. I only had about 6 ships anyway, and he attacked me again after my ships were wiped.

Hmm my poor Shield Dome.

Bloody unfair though, he had 6 Cruisers and 25 LF to my 3 HF and 2 LF...rape!!!!

[[Nightbreak]]

Just hope he slips and bashes you, then he'll get banned if you can prove it.

[bradc1988]

Bashes me?

It appears I'm doing better using Telemore's account then my own, slowly rebuilding some defence; but replacing the light lasers with heavy lasers.

[Dead Star]

We can all access Telemores account amirite?

[bradc1988]

Yeah, if you are just use a proxy to be on the safe side.

I changed his password so it's easier to remember and sent a circular message to you all what I changed it to.

[Amit]

so umm this fleet is near my system or something?

i've just been doing resource farming so i don't have any ships or anything hmmm

[Dead Star]

Probably just someone looking to attack a planet with resources.

Chances are they wont attack you if they see your a supernoob, and dont have a lot of resources piled up.

nm just read ogametips

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

Goddam I keep getting attacked...how am I supposed to develop really expensive things like colony ships if I keep getting my *** pwned...damn you Deaths Catalyst.

I used to play this game quite a lot, then I stopped. Maybe I should start again.

Make yourself unprofitable. Buold as many L. Lasers as you can afford every time you log on until you've got about 30. That's the sort of number that should make him think about attacking you.

[xXxstoner666]

i need help with my allience page, im in universe 22. my alience is soad.

i need to know how to put pictures in the actual words part. if any oen can help pleaz do. thanks

tbh, defence isn't that usefull if you just fleetsave everyday. I've gotten attacked while having 26 light lasers and 26 missile launchers. Defence is mostly usefull for those days when you get too lazy to fleetsave. Usually, people get tired of spying on you after always finding out that you have nothing on your planet after each spy. You're better off just investing in your fleet. Just build a bunch of cargo ships at first. Every night before going to bed just send the cargo ships(carying all your resrouces) to attack an inactive planet with no defence and make it slow it enough that'll come back when you're available to play.

[Amit]

Nightbreak informs you: Just thought I'd let people know before other alliances/random people cotton on. There is res of Metal: 114967 Crystal: 85688
Deuterium: 29371 at 2:441:12.

I'm just attacking now. Send your cargos and possibly escorts now to maximise this farm. Unfortunately I only had half my fleet still at home when I found this..

for those who are interested

[Dead Star]

I have a fleet on the way. :p

[bradc1988]

As soon as the Cargo I'm building finishes, I'll get in on that.

I'll send Telemore there as well

[3074326]

A bunch of stuff going on with me in Uni 1. Just left the alliance I was in, just hit 100k points. Good stuff, but a bunch nonetheless. :p

[Dead Star]

What are your stats at Chris? like the level of your mines etc?

[ThisGuy]

A bunch of stuff going on with me in Uni 1. Just left the alliance I was in, just hit 100k points. Good stuff, but a bunch nonetheless. :p

I just barely rehit 50k just a few days ago in uni 14. I'm really close to entering the 600s again. I miss being in the top 400 =\

EDIT: I'm finally upgrading my impulse drive to level 4 after so many setbacks. I'll be able to build cruisers tomorrow.

bah, I'm always finding myself with too much metal to know what to do with. I can't spend it on my fleet since I never have enough crystal for anything. I'm building another 20 missile launchers now. I'll have 90 of them when I'm done and 50 light lasers.

[djs]

How many ships would I need to take on a noob-looking planet? Right now I've just got 2 light fighters and 2 small cargos

My current stats:

Metal 8
Crystal 9
Deuterium 5
Solar Plant 11
Robotics Factory 3

Any suggestions? on anything (what to upgrade, what to work towards, etc etc)

[ThisGuy]

download the program speedsim to simulate outcome of a battle. After spying on the planet, enter all their fleet/defence/research inof and the info of the fleet you're planning on sending.

I'm always finding myself with too much metal to know what to do with.
In 45mins I'll have the relevant level of Energy tech to start on researching Ion.

Too much metal? Spend it on armour tech. It makes your ships stronger.

I'm currently trying to save Crystal so I can get lv.5 Impulse. For those who aren't there yet, I need Metal: 32.000 Crystal: 64.000 Deuterium: 9.600. That's a lot of Crystal.

I'm also attacking that farm again.

[bradc1988]

Ok this is ****ing unfair. This wanker still continues attacking me, this time with 15 Cruisers, 15!!!!!!

Luckily the small fleet I had is off attacking that farm thing....I've lost my shield dome AGAIN...ffs

Oshi double post

Same guy keeps attacking me...luckily I sought of anticipated it so I saved my 15 or so ships.

Hahaha I'm doing so much better with Telemore's account then my own...but I guess he is lucky he doesn't have any wankers near by.

[[Nightbreak]]

Guys, I ****ed up an attack, so I won't be about attacking as much for the next few days while I repair my fleet :( Which means my score will near enough stay as-is. I was hoping to get ranked by Monday :upset:

[ThisGuy]

Well that sucks then. At least your fleet was ranked at 926. That's what it says in the stats now but it'll probably go down(up?) in the next update.

EDIT:
Amit, I just gave you ability to view the members list in the alliance page and to send circular messages. I forgot to do that when I accepted you.

[3074326]

are joining another one?



Yeah, I joined a friend's alliance. We're not ranked too high (top 100), but it's still a solid alliance.

[ThisGuy]

I now have 7 cruisers.

This person already has 41 battleships. How he got them so fast is beyond me.
http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=154983

[bradc1988]

So moon given means the defender got a moon?

And how come his battle report is different to mine, and it has colours and stuff.

?

[ThisGuy]

So moon given means the defender got a moon?
Yes, after every battle, any debris left over might give you a chance to receive a moon. Each ship destroyed leaves 30 percent of its cost in the debris field. You get a 1 percent chance for every 100,000 resources left in the debris field. You could only get a maximum of 20% though.

Moons are usefull because it lets you see what other planets are doing with their fleet. If a guy has his fleet attacking someone, you could see exactly when the fleet coming back to its planet. If your fleet is stronger than his and you want to crash him, you could time an attack to arrive just seconds after his fleet comes back to his planet. This way there's nothing he could do to stop it because he won't have enough to time fleetsave his stuff. Go to ogametips.com to read more about moons.

And how come his battle report is different to mine, and it has colours and stuff.
He's using a converter. It makes it easier for people to see reports when you post it in a forum.
Check out this thread for links to usefull ogame tools including converters.

[bradc1988]

Oh cool, I'll probably use that FF plug-in too.

That same guy with the Cruisers is still attacking me, he is doing 1 attack every 1-2 days. I'm sending mine and Telemore's fleets backwards and forwards so at least I can build a fleet in peace.

He already has 3 planets colonised (that I know of)

[[Nightbreak]]

I got crashed. Twice. CRs below. This guy dies as soon as we as an alliance are big enough to take him.

I don't even bother with defence now, it's pointless when the guy who keeps attacking me has 20 or so Cruisers. I just take my resources with my ships when I fleet save so when I do get attacked they get very little. And I save resources by not wasting them on rebuilding defences.

But I agree we should revenge once we are big enough, him and the Bob Mar that is attacking me.

Man upgrade your shields and weapons a little, 20% more damage/shields can make a huge difference.

[[Nightbreak]]

I've been concentrating on getting a decent fleet, but now I have no fleet I'm just gonna build and research for a few days.

[bradc1988]

Hahah I sent my fleet, ~8 HF and 8 LF with some cargos to some planet that had about 50k metal, 30k crystal, 20k dueterium and he only had a solar plant at level 7 or so and I thought it'd be an easy victory...I think he must've logged on and used all that metal on some rocket launchers, he had about 35 of them...

It's fair to say that my fleet is gooonnneee. What sucks is that by the time I got on the 40k or so debris was already harvested so I couldn't get it back...

Damn

[[Nightbreak]]

Moral of the story: re-spy so you get the report about 20secs before your attack hits.

[ThisGuy]

This is gonna be my biggest attack in uni 22. I sent 12 cruisers and one large cargo. I'm gonna recieve about 20k resouces in the debris field.

I was saving to get to next level impulse drive to get some cruisers, but he stole aout 40k worth of my resources.

Oh and I didn't respy becuase I was asleep when the attack was set to happen.

why don't you fleetsave?

[bradc1988]

I have no fleet?

I DID have a recycler but I was asleep when it got back from harvesting and then that wanker attacked and destroyed it.

Edit: That wanker is ranked 264, im ranked 2500 something...

Unfair

[ThisGuy]

ummm...You had 40k on your planet. Surely you could have built some small cargos easily before he attacked you. The attack is your own fault. You should have invested in 10-15 small cargos right away to prevent stuff like this.

[bradc1988]

...

I HAD them but they were destroyed a day before he attacked, and theres little I can do when I'm asleep trying to let me resources build up.

I didn't even know he was coming.

a)He is only 2 planets away
b)Probably from the US which means when I'm asleep he is online and vice versa

[ThisGuy]

You should have spend whatever resources you had on cargo ships that day your cargos got destroyed. Don't just try to think you'll get lucky enough not to get attacked. If you have zero resouces right before going to sleep, I doubt you'll build enough resources overnight for someone to want to raid you.

[bradc1988]

Yeah I was going to do that, but I took the risk. I just thought that him being ranked in the 200s that he wouldn't attack me again as he hadn't for a few days.

Some guy near me wants to join our alliance, I told him to make an application, but it's up to everyone I guess.

This is him;

S O D [3:80:8]

Edit: In other news I'm thinking of making a colony ship and colonising a new planet somewhere. I think that's the key to faster growth.
