hi all
im just about getting the hang of this server but have a couple of questions.
1. what sort of naq hits should i be looking for? on main it 7bil+ but ive been reading the forums and it seems here i could expect more. any names would be great!

2. whats the deal with attacking actual people? is this how you can get decended? what sort of personal life and def should i be looking at for safety?
3. are there many active on this server? or am i free to farm below the first 1000 or so?
thanks in advance
chris

train all you planets to covert for a turn and spy as many people as possible. pick the highest "resource planet" counts with 0 def and start your list there.
Activity is safer then stats, it takes 9 hrs minimum to deascend. If you stay active and dont farm live accounts then you shouldnbt have any trouble
look at the account over rank, you get more AT the lower your rank so I'd say there are more "active" accounts in the lower ranks then the higher ones.

Actually as a new account owner you will have the most difficult time finding farms that you are allowed to hit due to your size. Start growing as fast as you can with charisma and cosmic exploration fleets. You won't be able to hit anyone that has been active in the past year for your first month.
Find some good music to listen to as you do your power ups. The good thing about expensive power ups is that you don't have to click the button more then 10 times in a single session. GanjaDemon has no such luck.

Truth be in them words, heed them well.
But actually, there is still alot of very small accounts out there, less then 1 mill. Its not much but its a start.
One of those things i hope admin fixes in the coming ascended server revamp.

Good to see there are new players arriving and *shock horror* wanting to play ascended.
Make sure you set your farms to war and sell off your strike before turn change. Apart from hitting someone for 200bill instead of 200trill (its not only old people who suffer from senility lol), the worst feeling when farming is not declaring war and not having a helpful power mod and only getting 40% of the dmu your target has out.

well if you stick to 0 def farms you only need 1 weapon anyway.

dont forget to increase charisma as well as fleets, they go hand in hand.
Also the multiplier is not presently an option, and may never be.

How did you allocate your power ups? Care to share some of your current stats?
