I hope they are lost
also, to those that haven't noticed, ascended peeps have stronger(and greatly more expensive) fleets

true but also think of it in these terms.
It really means the strong are going to get that much stronger. Those that are at Living God will be able to get their 10 planets and build a nice def for them.
While others if they choose to ascend farhter will spend the time getting them only to lose them upon re-ascention.

i wonder if the new fleet satallites count towards ascension as well. I got the ascending button and dont see them added either in total MS value or armory! might need to be considered!

double check your armory.

I dont understand this mothership thing at all.
ok i got 50 capacity, sold my weapon, and got a single fleet weapon but my strike action remained on 0
so i take it it can conquer planets, but ? is that all it can do ? do fleets have any defense power when your been attacked the old fashioned way ? and does your old fashioned defense protect your planets ?

The Fleets/Satelites are only for attacking other "Extra Planets" to conquer them and bring them to your own Solar system.
Each Player can only have 10 additional planets.
This wont be so bad because once the top players all have all they are going to they won't have a real need to steal them from lower players.
At the begining though there are going to be a lot of Middle Men probably, until the top players have all their orbits filled.
I think we may have to wait and get some planets to see how to buy them defence...

The power goes to your mothership action, not strike action. Calculate the total of your mothership power and compare that to the figure in your command base.

The fleet doesn't add to your attack/defense, but it does gets damaged if your mothership is around (not being sent away) when you do old-fashion attack, like a normal weapon. Not sure about whether your defense also protects your planet, but the upgrade info seems to imply that each planet has their own defenses that you have to develop/invest on. (This line "Planets have defences that can be built upon them to protect them (and destroy enemy fleets")

I think we need to wait and get some planets, if a 24hour trip gets 22 tips, then it may take 2 days to get some planets....

Well I think it is time to go on a mass farming spree in about 8hours as everyone will have their Mother Ships out searching....
My MS will be damage free....

Not everyone though, most of my officers are waiting for me to get my mothership back and tell them how it works. For the time being my instructions for them: if you have a mothership, start using your naquadah and equip them. It would be nice to be able to control how long you want them to go out for *hint* *hint*

First thing is first... read the Planet Summary page... use your mothship I so want one of those... lol FEAR THE WRATH OF MY MOTH SHIP... IT WILL FLY TOWARDS YOUR LIGHT WITH TREMENDOUS CRAZY SPEED ^___^
second off... the fleet that you purchase is a satellite array? thats hardly a seige weapon to besiege planets... watch out for the big bad satellites lol... that is a typo too... its satellite... not satallite... at least that is the case in the USA...
will there be other types of fleets? or is that the only one?
