fire fox. Bascially from what Tok'ra has told me you place something on top of the left mouse button for 30 seconds and it does all of the clicking for you. I've never done it. 1) I think it is unorthodox and 2) I don't have or use fire fox. Tok'ra would be the man to ask about it.

:lol: Nothing quite so complicated as a separate program or even a special browser at work. When you click the Attack or Raid button from a player's profile screen and fill in the number of turns to use, you are given the attack log screen with your damage report. If you click the "BACK" button in your browser, you can fill back in the # of turns and repeat the process. This is how most people do their attacks.

However, on the attack log screen, there is an "Again!" button on the page. If you click that button, you're given another screen where you can repeat the same raid/attack process. From this screen, you can fill in the number of turns on the attack type you want, press "TAB" to highlight the button, then hold down the "ENTER" key and the action will be transmitted to the server as quickly as the server can process each request without repainting the screen each time.

By using this method, you can quickly raid a target or attack a target by submitting as many as two or three requests to the server per second, depending on the server latency time and your connection speed.

You have to be careful when using this method because your weapons are being damaged with each submission just as they would if you were doing it one-at-a-time. So, it's a good idea to not "turbo" your attacks for more than 10-15 hits at a time until you're sure of how often you're going to need to stop and repair weapons or retrain supers.

That would be massing (well, the 'killed everything he got' part anyway, regardless of the benefits... some people do it for fun).
So you massed someone before even knowing what massing is? You've a promising future ahead of you :-D

Re: The big difference between farming and attacking someone

Great guide!!!!

I don't see what is wrong with attacking unprovoked or even farming. This is a war game. The point is; you take stuff from the other players WHO SIGNED UP FOR IT. If someone attacks me, I try to fight back if I can, but I see that its pat\rt of the game and its gunna happen.

Re: The big difference between farming and attacking someone

I received this msg from a random guy pleading me to not return a mass on his account for his farming my account because I had no weapons and was defenseless but had a big army. I like that. I like that lots. :lol:
