Ok, universe 6 just started today, I think, and I tink we chould more the gHatrack alliance to there. There are no established players there, so ew would have an excellent chance. . . if we move quickly.
OK, we are starting in Uni6 now....dkw has already made the alliance.
The tag is : jtrqr

TradeWars 2005, essentially. Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
OK, I submitted an application for the alliance.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
It is a game that Jataquertos began playing together in an alliance a few days ago.
They just opened up a new universe, and since we were small fry in a big pond i uni5, this is a good change to start over with all our opponants even with us rather than far ahead.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
I submitted this time around, too. How do they handle turns in this game? Do you get a certain number of actions per day, or do turns take a certain amount of time?
Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
It takes time Tom.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Hm. I probably won't be worth much to you guys, then. I'm not going to keep checking back every minute and a half. *laugh* But I'll play anyway, if you'll have me.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Of course...the good thing about this is that you still accumulate resources even when no online...
So you can just minimize the window while you do other things, and then check back once and a while to reset your construction projects. Also, there are robotic facilities that cut the time needed for each project way down, although they are overrated at least at first. Resources are the bottleneck at first, not construction times.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Is it better to build things that you don't have the energy to run at 100% (until you build more solar collectors), or better to build more solar collectors BEFORE leveling up your mines?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Depends on what your next move will be
I try to kkep my energy production up there, but sometimes it lags. I neve construct a lot of things without the energy, but if I will only be a little short I do it and lower production a little at something I have a lot of.
For instance, if I have a lot of crystals, which I do, then I can lower that for a little while my new plnat is being upgrades, keep metal mines (which I need more, at least at the beginning of the game) at full production.
Deut is a pain, as it collects so slowly though, and uses so much power.
In Uni5 I had my plant at level 9, but the mines at level 8 for metal and level 7 for crystals, and level 5 for Deut.
Also, I did get a robotic plant, but not until I had everything higher than 4. Wasn't worth it befroe that, at least not to me.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Wow, they added a new universe much sooner than I expected. I'm got a planet in Uni 6 now and am applying for the alliance.
Tom, it often is better to build the mine first even if you have to run it at 70-90% until you can get the solar upgrade. You'll get the resources you need to upgrade the solar plant quicker that way.
--Enigmatic
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I lean towards building the mines, lowering production, and then power. At least at first, as long as you neven let power fall more than a little bit behind.
Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
So how often are your resource levels augmented? I've maxed out my metals building the first buildings. I'm usually too miserly with resources in this type of game, so this time I'm going balls-out.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Max it out for sure, you only get raided usually if you have resources left over, so using them right up is actually a defensive move!
Click on resources, and it goves you some numbers...those are PER HOUR numbers, and they seem to be refreshed every 5 min or so. I woke up today and had a ton of things to do, because they build up nice while I was sleeping.
Kwea
Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
the mines give you a certain number of resources every hour, depending on their level.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
But it updates constantly, not all at once at a specific time.
Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
I seem to be running at negative energy levels. I've tried diminishing percentages for my metal and deuterium plants, and I've set my crystal at 0% for the time being, but my energy is still at -1. I have a level 1 solar power plant. Is this OK, or should I make other changes?

Enigmatic is now an Easter Bonnet, so he can also accept member application.
This administrator stuff is fun.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Advice for advice for robots: Turn the deuterium synth down as far as you need to for the metal and crystal to run at 100%. Deut takes a lot of energy and really isn't that important for building the basic infrastructure (mines and solar plant) that you need to focus on first.
Dkw: So Easter Bonnet is the GOOD hat to be? This is revenge for all those times I got you comic books for christmas, isn't it? *pthhbbt!*
--Enigmatic
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
There is a better choice than all of that....hit calculate under the resources page. It doesn;t recalulate automatically, you have to hit "calculate" each time, and it will give you teh updated numbers. Also, look at the energy at teh top of all your pages, nit ust the chart. The chart soetimes is oof, go by the top of the page, it is more accurate.
None of that will help if you really ARE short on energy, though.

You wascally Jatraqueros. Now I'm getting sucked into this game further. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
Well, should I strive for my energy level to merely be positive, or do I need it to be 100% of possible capacity all the time?
Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
OK, I've got crystal and deuterium both turned to 0, and metal at 100%. That makes my energy 0. First thing I'm going to do when I get enough metal is upgrade my power plant, and then I'll go from there.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Kwea: that's basically what I was saying. If you're short on energy, you lower the percentage on something (I recomend deut at this stage) and hit calculate. Also, my energy #s seem to be more accurately added up in Uni 6 than in 5. Anyone else?
--Enigmatic
Posted by Tstorm (Member # 1871) on :
For those of you just starting out, here's a recommended building order posted by an "expert" in the forums:
Solar Plant 1 Metal Mine 1 Metal Mine 2 Solar Plant 2 Metal Mine 3 Metal Mine 4 Solar Plant 3 Crystal Mine 1 Metal Mine 5
The point is, metal is critical early on, so focus on it, then start building up your crystal and deuterium production.

It makes sense to have Universe6 be our focus, I suppose. Switching may make make me less interested, so if I drift away that'll be why. If I *do* drift away, though, I'll set my planet up for plundering before I go (maybe by working to make it a huge deuterium factory before going or something).

Heh. I'm 917 of 2355. Of course, I don't have any points, either. The way I figure, I only joined a couple hours after everyone else, so I'm not far behind. I'm also spending my accumulated resources at least twice a day. Once before work, and once after work. Right now, everyone's pretty equal.
Except for having knowledge from past universes. Which I don't. For example, I don't even know how to send my basic fighter to another planet/system. How do I navigate with my ships? I tried to send my little fighter to the first planet in my system, but the game tells me, "Fleet could not be sent! Planet uninhabited or can be colonized."
Um, duh.
I know that. I want to see what the planet has. I know it's probably worthless, being so close to the sun.
Anyone?

They're probably just going from top to bottom and spamming everyone. Since most top players are already in an alliance and the rest are probably unlike to join alliances that recruit like that I think they're less of a threat than you think.

Nah. I don't have another screenname. Im just a bit of a lurker around these forums. Ive visited the site alot, but just recently decided to sign up for these forums. I found out about hatrack through my dad, as we are both avid OSC fans.

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Yeah, I saw that and was about to comment on that. I spent a lot of resources on power plants and research last night, as well as a robotic factory, so while I climbed from 365 to 133 today it wasn't as dramatic a climb as yesterday was . . . but once I can run everything at full power again (my mines and the new Deut upgrade was tough) I should really improve my resources.
I think I am going to hit the mines hard now, since I found out that most to the fleet activity we were worried about was probably Sats rather than ships.
I still hope to have at least a cargo ship by tonight though, or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Do you think he's got planetary defenses? I've got a cargo ship but no fighter right now, and won't have a fighter for another two hours. I could send my cargo ship blind, but even one missile launcher could take it out. It occurs to me, by the way, that we should raid the hell out of Galactus; he has 62 points and no fleet or research, so he's basically a giant farm at this point.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I wouldn't do it uitil you have at least one fighter. I don't have much for him, t be honest.

So if I were going to join the alliance, should I do it now or after I've built up more things? I'm not too far yet (ranked 1230) and have no defense yet either.

Go ahead and join now, Astaril. Having a newbie in the alliance doesn't really hurt or help the alliance much either way, but having the tag of a large alliance next to your name may make other newbies less likely to attack you.

I'm going to be attacked in about 45 minutes by the #35-ranked player in Uni 6.

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Battle is over. He lost. I had my missle launchers waiting for him. He attacked with a cargo ship only (nothing else), and basically ended up sending 5 units of power at me when I could return 80.
I absorbed each of his hits with zero damage. He absorbed 10 of the 80 damage units I sent back.
It took 3 hits from my missles (210 total damage units absorbed) for me to kill his cargo ship.
I ended up taking 3 5-unit hits with zero damage.
Apparently planets must come with some minimal shielding or something. I didn't build a shield dome yet or anything.
Posted by Peter (Member # 4373) on :
How do you get into the Special parts of the forum?
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Defense buildings and most ships have some shields of their own. Missle bases have 20 shield points and light fighters have 10.
--Enigmatic
Edit: Apparently the cargo ship with no fighters is a common early rush strategy, because that's all my attacker sent too. I'm rather dissappointed, really. I had FOUR missle bases and THREE light fighters and it turns out I could have won that with one of either! I was looking forward to a battle!

He got me, and now i have debris floating around my planet...what is left of my one fighter.
I was beating him until my missiles shut down.
Now I have small alsers avaliable thoguh, so I figure two fo thsoe should so a good job of shutting him down next time...all I need now is the metal, as I have teh crystals left for two of them.
Go get him, he is really low on reasearch, as far as I could tell, adn teh three ships he used on me, one cargo adn two light fighters, were the only ones on his fleet list as well.
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
Sure, I can help open one. Just as long as we call it the PCSE. Oh, and I get to ring the bell.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, XT has declared unofficial war on us in Uni6. They pounded Wowbagger with a 1-2 punch, and wrecked his fleet while he was at work.
There are only 5 of them, and they don't have very good defences at this point, but 4 of them are in the top 50, and two of them have a fleet count of 16. That includes spy probes which 2 of them currently have, adn solar sats, as well as cargo nad fighters.
Here we go!

hi everyone
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
I am totally unprepared for such a war. At this point, I'm so far out in the universe that I don't think it matters. I'm pretty much alone in my solar system. I'm looking forward to colonizing the empty planets, though.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
Well, it looks like I've posted on this thread before, just not to my knowledge.
I'm a few days behind most of you, but I'm holding my own. (Haven't been raided yet, that is.)
Anyhow, I want you all to know that I working hard right now to build proper defences and weapons, my second priority is kicking some "UNICORN" a**.
*HOWLS IN A MANLY WAY*
ARE YOU WITH ME PEOPLE?!

Why Unicorn?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
We need to focus on XT, to be honest. Not that I wouldn't want to help you, but XT has declared "inoffficial" war against us, and me in particular. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, XT asked if wanted to join them...
How funny is that?
There is now a trades thread for anyone who is willing to trade. NFL needs crystals for the heavies, and Squick has peobes and needs crystals as well.
I have a decent supply of Deut if anyone needs some.
Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
I can't fight two wars at once. XT is the problem right now, once we deal with them we will see about another war, hopefully with a much smaller aliance than Unicorn.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
We shouldn't worry about a war at all, not for a while. This one is tough enough, and it isn't really a war at all yet.
A war is legal bashing. Legal bashing IS NOT FUN!
Raids are profitable though, if you survive them....
Wow, how is the rebuilding going?
Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
I have 5 missiles, 5 light fighters and 2 small cargo ships. I am currently raiding people without alliances....
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
That is about what I have....I have lasers though, a little better defence.
Also, I have 4 fighters, but will have at least 2 more tonight, and maybe probes as well.
Once I get probes I will be glad to probe for small fry we can share.... Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
Quick, let me in...
I'm cold, and there are wolves after me.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
JT? Are you attacking another member of the Alliance?
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
I think he's just fleetsaving, but I'm not sure. I hope he is.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
That's what I thought at first too. Then I reread gnixing's post:
quote:One enemy fleet from player JT Stryker from planet rock [1:207:6] approaches planet noxon[1:308:12] The fleet consists of 7 ships.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I just got toasted, big time, by SirVersace. I had my whole fleet there, 8 ships, and he hit me.
I was offline because of connection problems.
I don't even know if it is worth playing anymore, to be honest...I was about to send them all away as a fleeetsave, but I was offline for about an hour.
This sucks; it is bad enough that it happened the first time, but this one wasn't eevn my fault!
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
How much did you lose?
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
Kwea, dude, you're like the only reason I've been playing this game. You still have the buildings you need. Just keep it up, you'll have your fleet before I even start building mine.
Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
Just in case someone here reads it--can you admit me to the private part of Teshi's forum?
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
You have to request here to get in. Then click on it (not sure how long that takes) and it will let you in.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I lost 38G worth of this stuff. 7 small fighters, and a cargo.
I just wrote him a note as well, no big deal.
I will ahve a small fleet by tomorrow, I am just pissed off. I could ahve come back to my computer earlier, to check if the DSL was still having problems. but I figured my fleet wouldn't be back yet.
I was wrong, I missed it my 4 min.
The problem is that there isn't anyone near me to raid at all, other than XT. I was one of the highest players today, before this happened...I was in the top 100 again, and top 50 in fleets, and now I am back down to at least 283.
I can't even send NFL any help to get him back!

Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
I've got 6, count 'em, 6 different enemy fleets approaching me right now. They'll find 1 metal, 1 crystal, and 1600 deuterium to share around because I happened to be online when they came. Anyway, I figure not being in an alliance puts a big "ATTACK ME!" On your forehead that I'd rather not deal with again, so I applied to the alliance today.
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
Heh. And each of them is in the top 100 in fleet number. I've become the fleshy middle for them to feast on, I suppose.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Nothing wrong with being a fleshy middle. I wish I'd known about your deut earlier, though; I would have attacked you for it. Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
Don't think I haven't opened up the galaxy menu and started flipping through them just to burn some of it off Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
As you do that, keep a record of what you see. Our alliance would LOVE you for it. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Bob, you could ship it to one of us, and we could ship it back to you.
Or you could ask in the forum to trade for it and get some metal or crystals for it, maybe.
Do you have a cargo?
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
We broked Teshi's forum.
I blame this on Sir Versace.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
LOL
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Wowbagger, did you get that espi report I sent you?
Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
i couldn't attack him....noob protection...
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Oh well.... Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
Everyone give a hand to Beren for destroying Sir Versace's fleet in the battle of Bajor.
Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
Sweet, go Beren!
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Awww thanks. I would like to claim that it was some kind of brilliant strategy, but honestly, I just forgot to fleetsave. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Zen and the Art of Interstellar Warfare. Posted by ProverbialSunrise (Member # 7771) on :
Okay. I joined this game just today. I know I will be way behind but I will just learn the ropes this time. Would it be possible for me to join the alliance?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
You can join, as you are a regular here...well, as regular as any of us here are, that is...

ProverbialSunrise, I let you in .
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
I'm right there with you, boys.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Ed, how ya doin? Nice to see you again!
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Rather well. Working a lot, but in safer places than I used to, hehehe.
Posted by ProverbialSunrise (Member # 7771) on :
Hurray. I'm in. Thank you. I'll try not to screw up too badly.
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Could someone let me in, please? My aplication wasn't accepted yet. Posted by ProverbialSunrise (Member # 7771) on :
Sorry to bother you but I think there's something wrong with Teshi's forum for me. I went to the website and before I logged in everyting looked fine. After I logged in. Everything went small and there was no text on the page. Only the little icons. If I opened a topic by clicking the little piece of paper at the side and then pressed quote I could read the quoted text. I tried using Internet Explorer rather than Netscape 7.2 and had the same problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
try to go into your profile and chose Board Style: subSilver.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I don't know, who are you? Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
I WON!!

The attacker has lost a total of 0 Units. The defender has lost a total of 0 Units. At these space coordinates now float 0 Metal and 0 Crystal.
It was the first one that I've initiated. Wish I would've gotten more, but now I have the confidence to do it again. Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
it gets to be kind of fun. Posted by ProverbialSunrise (Member # 7771) on :
I'm ProverbialSunrise. Same as here. I tried switching skins(is that the right word?) and it worked. Thanks.
