newbie qustion about the mothership

[danbar]

newbie question - its worth to constarte all your power on the mother ship and not to build "normal" soldiers?

and something else : what shuld i build on the mother ship - - Weapons or fleets ?

[Admiral Steel]

Try to do both though focus on troops. It dosn't hurt to have a mothership built up to to take planets but you need troops to do everything else.

[danbar]

and the mother ship cant help me on normal battle?

[Admiral Steel]

It can but it usuly don't add much to attack. Because you have to get past the other persons mothership and if they don't have any you get extra attack then. Though you need to buy upgrades for it to make it powerful.

[Angelus Errare]

if your mothership beats the opponents mothership, then your mothership can add all of its attack power to your strike action.
let's say you beat your opponent's mothership. your mothership has an attack of 500 mil, and you have a strike action of 700 mil. your mothership will add its attack to your strike making it 1.2 bil.

[gooseman the first]

but it can only add to 100% of your ground troops attack so if you have 1bil attack and your ms has 2bil it can only add 1bil

[urogard]

but it can only add to 100% of your ground troops attack so if you have 1bil attack and your ms has 2bil it can only add 1bil

means if you have few soldiers, your ms will also do very little damage (and as has been said, potentially will never do damage if it exhausts all damage on the enemy ms)

[Rukia]

but the damage on their ms from urs may be enuf to get them to stop farming u...

[Reeb]

If you're even wondering about it, skip building up the mothership for now. It's more worth it to concentrate on hard stats in my opinion. Motherships are mainly for obtaining planets, destroying other motherships, and getting higher rank. If you're not really concerned about those at this point, then don't bother.

A solid defense and a good covert are far more likely to make people leave you alone anyway, because you don't see mothership stats on spy reports.

[danbar]

ok

very very thx for you all .

and some thing else - what shuld i build on the mothership - Energy Volley or fleets ?

[Kaitou]

Volley's are used for attacking enemies in normal combat. Fleets are designed to take planets.

[dredd2525]

thought I would throw my $,002 in.

Mothership pro: it's power when able to help your ground troops can double your strike which could allow you to farm with less casualties then getting the same strike with all troops.

Mothership con: the darn things are really expensive. far more expensive then just buying a regular defense. if you need to get your defense or strike up fast go with the old fassioned army you will get much farther with less naq investment.

Regarding your question on whether you should buy fleets, weapons or shields. Fleets are really, really expensive you build them if you plan to take planets on a regular basis. on shields, if your only concern is nulifying someone elses MS build up shields, it isn't likely your MS will have enough power to blow past another's MS to help your Ground troops. Weapons, before you buy weapons for your MS make sure your shields are good enough, if your opponent blows past your shields you will not only loose shields but weapons too, and fleets for that matter if you bought any.

to wrap up, Mother ships are expensive, don't bother with them unless you have the money to throw around, you will get a lot more bang for your buck using regular armies.

[gooseman the first]

speaking as a guy who had a pretty high ranked ms b4 ascending (but im almost back to that rank again ), 1k volley and shields does the trick and will be a match for almost any ms, BUT its mainly used for bringing your rank up fast, i suggest you build your defence and attack to about 1bil each b4 investing in a ms
as for fleets, i got 200 and thats all i need to take the planets i want

[archmagedrow]

the damage ration for mothership combet....I jujst engaged a mother ship and blew past their sheilds with enough remaining power to add 40 mil dammage to ground attack (maximum bones) yet I didnt destroy anything on the other mothership?

[GAT-X207]

1. rank modifier prevented damage
2. not enough went trhu to destroy weps
3. enemy ms had little/no weps to destroy
