Motherships

[Busterrudd]

can you have more than one mothership? If yes how?
also what is the advantage to having more than one planet?

[GrizzZzzly]

you can only have one mothership,
More planets means more upgrades

e.g 2 10kUP planets = 20k extra UP
10 10kUP planets = 100k extra UP

If you have one planet that gives 100k UP it would give the same bonus but only if you have a 200k raw UP. but if you have 10 10k UP planets you only need a 20k raw UP to be able to use the bonus to its full potential

Note: each UP/def/att/cov planet can match 50% 'natural' power, to a max of the numbers below.

MOVED.

[Busterrudd]

what???

[Lowra]

lol the thread got moved to the right area.

And GrizzZzzly, that's not quite correct about the planets. It's meant to work that way but doesn't in practice.

Let's say you have 20k Raw UP, and then a 20k UP planet.

If that is the only UP planet you have then you'll only get 10k bonus UP from it.

But if you have a second UP planet of say 1k then you will get a UP of 19K from the 20k UP planet.

The comment in-game is a little incorrect "Note: each UP/def/att/cov planet can match 50% 'natural' power, to a max of the numbers below." What is should be is the combined total of each planet type can match 50% natural power.

So that if your UP is 20k Raw, and the sum of your UP planet totals divided by number of planets is 10k, then you will get 10k benefit from each planet no matter how much they say they add. If the combined total divided by number of planets of that type is 11k then you will still only get the 10k though.

This works on Attack, covert and defence planets as well.

If it's a bug, it's a bug, if not, enjoy.

thanks for the update. i am glad to know that the more planets you have the batter.

[weilandsmith]

and the more you have to spend defending them

Just don't put everything in to planets, i.e. don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you lose your planets your account would be left in ruins.

[Wolf359]

what???

I moved your thread to the correct section - it belongs here in Newbie/FAQ, not General.

[Busterrudd]

When you say not to put them all in one basket what different areas should i focus on. Planets, motherships, covert, and what else?

[bigcakes]

Raw UP and miners. also get other sources of resources like raiding and attacking for naq.

This mainly refers to UP basically.

If for example you kept your UP small, but put a lot into your UP planets so that you have a large total UP then if you lost your UP planets your total UP would drop big time. The best thing to do is build up your account as it is then later try and enhance it with planets. Well that's my opinion anyway.
