    Ok guys, I just got around to signing up. Account name is Gadzuko, and I'm at -63/-41, along with 3 other people. I want to see if I can rule the system without any help <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Not quite true.

    Math will only help him if he wins the battle. You can have lvl 1000 Math and still lose, except if you win, you'll take very small losses.

    Math - If you win, you take less losses
    Physics - Increases chances to win

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    It would seem that everyones fleet that was sent out yesterday or the day before has disapeared if it was in transit to somewhere. There are many, many posts about this in the English, German, French,and other AW forums.

    One of the top ranked guys lost a fleet of over a 1,000 Destroyers, 100 battleships, etc.

    My fleet is missing too.

    I Needed that fleet to survive!

    The system might to a restore, like a system restore on your PC, the game will start off where everything was a few days ago.

    However itif goes back farther then 2 days The giant fleet that was sent to me (that I won) will not come anymore, b/c the guy will know not to send it. Then I wont get all those SUs and hense, PP.

    And Ill be finished either way!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Just when things start to go well for me this crap has to happen. If I lsoe b/c of this i give up on this game. I didnt go this far and surive 5 homeworld relocations b/c giant high level players had to pick on little newbie me and then to win a battle (a very BIG) one by the skin of my Arse) and then get it all taken away!

    Davis, depending on what happens, I can send you some money. Just wait it out and see how this goes.

    I lost 30 battleships today, but I can get it back. Nothing serious for me.

    Ok Thanks everyone for your awsome generosity.

    i dont need any money transmission but thanks anyways.

    Im ok Now thanks to Underdogs donations! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Unfortunatly my roomates fleets well 2 of them got their fleets, back and my other friend lost 12 battleships plus all his other stuff. Fortunately he still got the SUs from his victory so he can rebuild stuff.

    Underdog, did you restart yet? I knew u were getting rid of A$ b/c you were gonna lose or something?

    Thanks again.

    Okay, Sorry I haven't been around for the past few pages. I was offline all of yesterday and the night before, as we are way over our quota for the week in internet cap usage [1200 MB used, only day 8, and we can use a max of 100 mb a day... you figure it out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->], and im just logging on to check email, forums, astrowars, etc etc. onto astrowars type discussion:

    yes, majin, i did restart from a while ago. this is my second go, and i seem to be doing okay... nothing is really happening, but i am expanding slightly and just building up. im not player level 1 yet, because there is no experience to be had in my system, so i will have to save up a while longer then build a fleet and send it off attacking into another system, purely for the experience so you guys can send me donations <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    communist, you better lose that attitude. this is an alliance, stop threatening other people, its not cool/funny, and frankly its just giving me a bad impression of you. i dont know where the hell youre coming from.

    how far away do you think we are from restarting? when it happens, or is just about to restart, make a new thread so everybody can time it properly. maybe we can create an IRC channel or something, so the people who miss the original sign up can go on and find other people who havent signed up, and sign up with them, etc etc

    smoke nova, my coordinates are 60, -6. beta rigel

    apparently, deracks wasnt sieging that planet, and went over and cleared it for me. although, i havent heard anything further, and its clean. [the msg i got was when he hadnt cleaned it yet] so you cant be sure.

    anyway, he will eventually have 8 planets to my 4 in the system. im taking the 4th today [ive already sent the fleet, but i have no money for spend all points when it arrives, so the next time i can get on the internet i will upgrade it]

    anybody near my coordinates?

    also, wheres marine01... he needs to get off his fat buttocks and update the main page listing <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    just a small bump, but also, so i may stay on the internet and help you all with astrowars and keep you entertained [<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->] and keep this thread alive, does anybody know a free program that measures your traffic etc? like DUMeter, but it doesnt matter what goes over the network, only what goes through the internet... i.e it can sort of tell whats used on the lan, and what goes through the lan onto the internet

    we have a 3 GB cap for our internet, and we want to know how much intenet usage each person uses, but we use the network to trade stuff between the family a bit, and in DU Meter it counts that, which as you can understand screws everything up

    also, captured 4th planet today <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> its currently chugging out 9 pp per hour, and this time tomorrow it should be around 15 an hour minimum <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Whats best to spend your first points on, Hydrophonic farm or Robotic factory? just wondering.....
  • TransmissionTransmission Join Date: 2003-03-12 Member: 14456Members
    Robo, Farm, Robo, Farm, Robo, Farm, Robo, Farm

    This is the most efficient start in the game.

    ok, I have 12 planets and I've been wondering if I've been going about this efficiently:

    I've been expanding by colonizing empty planets in 2 systems -- my home system and another mostly empty system. There's a third system full of highly upgraded planets -- a total of level 11 starbases which I systematically wiped out for player levels, and I think that made all 3 players in that system go idle =P rather than starting planets from scratch, should I take over those planets? is it smart to have your planets spread across 3 or 4 systems or is it best to keep them as close together as possible? it's nice having all my planets in a nice little row, but now I'm thinking, I could have taken over planets with a lot of infrastructure already, and I'd probably have a better score because of it...
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    dont expand too much into your own system unless you have a hell of a lot of culture

    the highest people only have like 26 culture, which is only 14 planets.... can you see where im going? whatever you do in this game, its going to be totally and utterly insignificant except to the people RIGHT NEXT to you

    Heh heh.

    I just sent 30 of my Battleships to a war ravaged system and I plan to destroy just about every planet (their starbase levels are 2-6).

    Could someone check my Profile please? It's NS_Renegade. I think I've been tagged as a multi.

    How do you sell supply units?

    So I earn a supply unit. I go to trade, click sell, and click the radio button that says "supply units" but in my quantity, it says 0, even though I have one!

    I had 2 supply units. It said 2/3.

    I figured, ok, maybe i need 3 before it's a full unit. I'll wait.

    Then I got 3 supply units. It said 3/4. WTH?

    Now 4 supply units. It says 4/5.

    So when do I actually GET a supply unit that I can sell??

    WTH? Why can't I log in? After I enter my login information, I'm taken to another login screen with just the two bars for entering information, but there's no astrowars picture, just the two bars. And when I log in again, it takes me right back the the blank screen with the log in bars.

    renegade, i dont know your problem, but i can help burncycle :/

    burncycle: however many supply units you have, i.e 4/5 = you have 4.

    in the sell SU, change the 0 to 4... then hit sell.

    in your trade screen, you will have -4 Supply units, and not get any money

    the next time [2 AM GST i think or something] you will get the money <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm making 217pp an hour over 11 planets. Unsure if thats good or bad or whatever.

    On an aside some dude just came out of nowhere with a huge fleet, destroyed my level 11 starbase on one of my planets and left...how bizarre.

    I'm making 425 PP/hour with 12 planets. It would have been more but a war forced me to stop upgrading. However, I did manage to buy a Charcoal Diamond before it started, so that helps.

    Renegade, try switching browsers since I know some browsers have problems with the login site.
