questions

[chargin]

1. when are mercs spawned on the market?

2. how do i get better units? some people have things like advanced satellites and i've just got the basic stuff (drone satalite arrays, energy volley and energy shields)

3. can you have more than 1 mothership? When should I consider getting another?

4. if i send my mothership to search for planets could it get attacked and destroyed?

5. i already have a ship worth about 1bil but around when is it recommended to start building 1?

6. how aggressive do most people get when u steal lots of naq from them? is it fine if u just attack them 1-2 times?

7. how do u get tech such as galactic military complexes? the best i can get is Asgard 8 Symbol Gate Dial Planet. is it just a different name or can you get better tech levels some how?

8. i have an extra planet (i used my trading points to get it), but how do i actually use it? i can give it defence, more defence capacity but i don't see what else i can do with it besides install an overpriced becon on it ( i doubt it's worth as much as the becon at the moment haha) i've heard that u can get attack planets, def planets, UP planets etc so how do u change it into this?

9. what is the difference between drones and lifers besides i get to keep lifers on accession?

10. does my mothership automatically defend both of my planets or just 1?

11. is there unit upkeep?

12. what should i do if somebody threatens to beat the crap out if me if i don't give them stuff?

13. how did i get 772 defensive mercs? is that from when i attacked people for naq or when i attacked for troops?

i've only been playing for a few days, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

thanks. got some more questions hehe.

1. if somebody steals my planet (they already have), if it hasn't entered their orbit can i steal the planet back before they build more defences on it? can they install becons on it? what can they do to stop me taking it back from them?

2. what are the chances of success in getting a planet with exploring vs stealing a planet off of another player? how is it calculated?

3. is there an easy way to search for who has extra planets?

4. is it considered lame if somebody steals a planet from a new player that is just asking questions about their extra planet it the forums? *cough* zorrillo is *cough* bullying noobs *cough*

Everyone has these, they are the MS weapons, i believe the names change with whatever race you select.

Your next questions

1: You can steal the planet back anytime in the first 24 hours and only you can do that, after 24 hours its anyones planet who can break its defence.

2: Exploring probably not very high anymore, when they first came out a good chance, but now not as much, you can steal or buy them.

3: Just click on someones name if they have planets they are listed there, but you have to spy them to see what they do, and what if any defence they have.

4: Yes that is lame for someone to steal your planet when you are new to the game, and asked for help on how to play. Although if you are new to the game planets maybe not the best thing for you at this time, as you cannot defend them and they may bring you some very unwanted attention.

If you have less then 1 mil army, I wouldn't even think about making/stealing planets to try to keep them. Right now, too many players that can take them from you.

My suggestion, find a good CO. He will protect you and planets when you get them, give you advice on how to play the game and reach your goals, and help you when (if) you ascend.

i want my planet back!

if i try to attack the planet while he is stealing it from me because his motherships is dragging my planet to his homeworld (read it somewhere) will i have to fight his mothership to get it back? i really dont want to fight his mothership, i estimate its around 20 times as powerful as mine haha.

my planet has no defences left (unless he can rebuild before it reaches him...can he?), what's the worst that could happen besides him retaliating by destorying everything i have? what's the worst that could happen in that battle?

yes i am willing to lose all my forces and ships to get my planet back, just in case ur wondering.

PS: i have a good commander, can he tell when my planets are stolen or do i have to go winge to him?

[GAT-X207]

ms strike has nothing to do with stealing them, its the fleets that do the stealing

[GeneralChaos]

Yes your commander can see if the planet is stolen from you, yes the person stealing it can defend it as soon as its stolen, no you do not have to fight there MS, only the planets defense if any, and your fleets only do that, nothing else.

[chargin]

ill leave it lol. worked out it will cost me 5 bil once i get it back from him to be able to defend it from him decently...not really worth it atm.

what does it mean if it says:

"[their comm name] was was commanding the [their mothership], thier MotherShip.


The Mothership has exhausted all of its offensive power."

it says that when im attacking people sometimes, does that mean their mothership has no attack power?

also how do u know your total power score?

[GAT-X207]

no it just mean total atacking ms is weaker than has an atk that is lwet than defences

go to atk log, u;ll de damage to doth sides, can figutr out howmuch ms does

I hope you learn a sad lesson from this.

As soon as you posted with your ingame name you could be sure that your brand new planet would be stolen

[chargin]

i had no idea planets were worth so much. i thought market turns were pretty much worthless (not worth around 18bil each!) so i couldn't see the harm in posting i had a planet here. Doesn't matter, i just learnt the hard way while trying to learn it the easy way (asking questions)

Thanks again for the 100 turns Flavor, made pretty good use out of them (i think), i get around 250m naq+ per 15 turn attack. i got 1b naq in 1 attack once hehe, might not be a lot to some people but its really good for me.

what do u think are the best planets to have and in what stages of the game?
