What are the most desirable planets?

[Jack_]

I just wanted to know what the overall opinion is on what type of planets are the most desirable and sought after (and fought over). (excluding dual planets) (in order from most to least)

ie.
Attack
Defense
Covert/Anti-Covert
Unit Production
Income

[Mathlord]

UP
Covert
Attack
Defense
Income

Agreed. It also depends on your account setup and style of play.

LMAO

That is funny, my friend; but I am going with Mathlord on this one.

Income is definitely dead last for me.
I would much prefer income planets owned by my fav farms.

Att/def dual

^ What he said




UP & Income and for statbuilders

Coverts are lame and low powered

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

i had a mini atk/def dual once. It was real nice.
But author was excluding duals-
or i wud go with a triple stat.

This, the problem with income is your spending more naq on the planet then you will ever see in terms of return on investment.

To upgrade planet from 0 Power to 100,001,088,000 Power.

It would cost 8,344,130,135,000 Naq to upgrade.

You would need to do 57,871 upgrades.

That's 83 days before the upgrades pay themselves off (This is excluding the 1.111T naq required to get to mindblowing size. 100bil naq per day is also a useless addition to your account you need 0.5T to make it worthwhile (It would cost 209,168,943,900,000 Naq to upgrade. - 400 days pay back, more then a year)

really depends on your acc setup and play style, but i personally agree,with this as the basis
those done ascending:
1)UP
2) Cov or attack. depends on play style, if you are a masser (and masses only) then an attack planet is second since lots of people run low defense in war it will reduce your losses, however if you are a saber or an acer, then the cov/ac is second (which is my style) because then you can say the lower defense people and send less spies and save your at's, and if you are an acer, for those with low defenses and decent coverts (bur not massive) you can ac them through their defense and use less ac units). and cov is also best for snipers because with all the high cov levels (and snipers usually don't have a high cov level) they can make the enemy have to use more ac units to sab what little they have.
3) cov or attack (vice versa as above)
4) defense its only useful for snipers who have a defense of like 2 t or less at all times, because it costs so much to upgrade you will never see any use out of it as a whole if you have a decent defense at all
5 income (very useless as you will never see your income paid back)

those ascending (after AG)
1) covert: because you will never have a high cov level, it will become very useful, and they are cheap to upgrade. while in the higher cov levels it won't help as much, when ascending you will rarely had above level 30 or 31, so it will usually add close to the 50% limit if any decent naq put into it
2) attack: if you are going to fight you won't be able to have a high attack unless you want to be a mega sab target because of low cov level, so this will help you be able to mass a little bigger defenses and not take a ton of losses, as well as allow you to hold a slightly bigger strike for farming purposes without becoming a sab target
3)up, after ag you will have a semi decent up so it can be helpful to help counter the losses one takes after each ascension, since farming is better way to do this though attack planets are higher since you won't want too many weapons due to low cov level, however up would be number 2 for someone who has no interest in farming, raiding, or massing ever, with defense as 3, and attack as 4 (though anybody reading this is probably a farmer, or a raider or will be doing some kind of attacking)
4) defence: can be decent to help you not need as many weapons since you won't have as high of stats due to low cov level, but either way you will need to either farm, raid, spy or so on, so still not as useful as attack or covert planets
5) income, still completely useless

those ascending, but not quite AG:
1)Cov: as listed above
2)Attack: as listed above
3)Defence: as listed above
4) up: completely useless because you won't have a up above like 10,000 ever, however it is number 4 and not number 5 because when you do hit AG it can become helpful down the road
5) income: still utterly useless

Flash, thanks for your ascending input!

Before peeps got to Unknown enmasse and started building w/ a passion-
I had finally realized that UP planets pwned all for the ability to grow / recover faster than stat planets could save me;
but I had been thinking along the lines of Flash for quiet some time now.

I hate income planets for special reasons:
only planet type that makes one look like a juicier target w/o even a spy report~
only planet type besides MAYBE a super UP planet that could really screw up one's day / week~
only planet type I want to see well defended on a farm target.

[Rabbid Thom]

most desirable

A triple stat planet, probably att/def/UP

[Mathlord]

A giant covert planet can cover a small warring covert power and can be really handy in an online battle. I keep a large strike, defense and covert so those kinds of planets are less applicable for me. Although I do like attack and defense planets as they have a knack for working their way into the game system a bit...but that's neither here nor there.
