I killed one guy and have sent transports to take over his planet, the only problem is I have another guy who was in here from the start, repulsed my attacks a while ago, and while i was distracted with the first guy [10 SB that i hammered down], teamed up with another frenchie who saw fit to sneak into my system. They have sent maybe 150 DD total to two of my newer planets, and i don't think i will be able to stop the siege... however, chances are i will be able to break them in a bit, assuming i can stop the fleet with transports.
It's annoying. Anybody near me [32/55] and can see me, and want some free XP and some guaranteed planets with a reliable ally? Come party <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Ive tried from two different computers on opposite sides of the world, it dont work here in australia, and sure as heck doesnt in the east coast of america.
I assuming its down much like what it seems like it was during May 1st.
14:16:45 - May 21 Attention !!! We have evidence of an incoming fleet around that time. 10 Transports 300 Destroyer going to attack Alpha Alrami 9! We suppose its the Fleet of ********
I sent 10 transports/ 355 ships against his planet and they land at 04:00. I can then (hopefully) conquer his planet AND send my ships back to defend my home system and beat his attack (SB6 + 200 ships).
Something stupid happened, any my ships hadn't been sent to break the siege of my planet, before the screw-up happened.
So now he is sending a force to take the planet, and my siege-breakers will arrive an hour later, and 2 hours later, because the original force didn't send.
Argh.
Actually, it's pop 6 now, and he only sent 5 transports... bwuahaha.
I will break the siege, regroup, kill chisai [the smart expansionist into my system], then wash over and kill the guy with only one planet.
<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>DO NOT RESTART. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CONQUERED. IT IS A BUG.</span>
Okay people. There's a bug with the planets, no idea if/how it will be resolved, so check back every few hours and be prepared to be at the same spot you were a few hours before the incident - i.e any attacking fleets may not have been sent, etc etc.
It IS a bug, not just you.
For clarity: I, and many others [maybe everyone], have gotten the message... "All your planets have been conquered, you are defeated." etc etc... well this is not the case. it's a bug. don't do ANYTHING, don't restart.
I'll send as much as I can, but I cannot promise too much with the current price of the PP and the fact that I spent points about an hour ago D:
I'll send them to you as soon as I've built up enough to start interstellar trade.
PP incoming in 2 - 3 hours. If I dont have enough by then, I will send them tommorow morning at 10 AM (14 hours as of writing this message, EST Australia [+10]).
If anybody wants to send me ['eediot'] any money, it would be appreciated.. I don't need it urgently, but this guy is sending me 218 destroyers and 16 transports [pop 8 planet], and its my main planet... i have boosted Starbase to level 11, in 2 hours i will be able to send 182 Destroyers to protect, and if i waited 2 hours i can boost my Starbase to level 12.
However, if you guys sent me money now, i would be able to take the destroyers, and instead of sending them to protect my home planet, i could take his planet... suckah <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Please, reply here, or send me money, or preferably both <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Thanks champs.
My system partner mailed me to say he couldn't continue with Astrowars. So he is basically gifting me his planets in my home system. I have alloted 2 of these to allies.
The system right next to me with 2 high ranked French players have appraoched me for an alliance/TA partnership. Incidently I have expanded into another system much further away which one of them has also moved into.
Does anyone else feel that the players around them are much more committed than the previous round. I started both rounds pretty much 24 hours in, last round seemed much easier to expand.
I'm not a high player level yet but atleast I've still got my fleets intact <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

So... Uhhh.... How about the price of the Astro Dollar lately? 0,95 is pretty much THE lowest I've ever seen it (or was 0,94 the lowest?).
Surely this is a boom for those getting SU's (and subsequently selling them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->) but what could possibly be driving the AD so far down? Alliances being forged by rabid PP selling? TA's being formed by those in the core regions?

Slash and I have joined LIS alliance (Lost In Space). Mainly Polish players but we have a strong local alliance. We've linked up with NS_Nikon and several other local allies who may or may not join the TAGGED alliance.
Looks like we have a strong French alliance close to us BSF (Battleship Factory), does anyone know much about them?
Oh boy... i pretty much just accepted a guy into my system and then said "look, im a good nice guy, i will protect you and wage war on LiS"
=]
ill give him refuge in my system, but say "look actually im friends with the LiS, i will not attack you, nor will i give any of your planets out, but i cant attack or fund attacks against my friends
LIS isn't a TSA related alliance. I hadn't considered there being an official alliance this round. Everyone seemed quite quiet on the subject.
LIS is predominately made up of Polish players who have started very close to each other. I think there are currently 9 members (mostly European) - I wanted in because Keith had already accepted their offer. This BSF - French alliance is very strong and they are very close to us....
Like last round I will help NS players and offer as much protection as possible under the LIS umbrella.
Eediot > who is the player that seeks war against LIS? (PM me if you like).
Lol thats polite of him, PM'd you after he has taken a planet in your system.
My main concern was that I didn't want to fight against my brother!
Like everyone else I'm looking to expand as fast as possible. Luckilly I don't have culture slots to burn but where players around me seem keener there are alot less unknowns/afk players and free planets. This is pinching people closer and I am sure this beta I will see more aggression.
Please don't burn your bridges or make NAP's etc with people you would rather not fight for... You are so close to us.. come into the fold my precious... join usssss...
Heh , there are BSF members near my position. They look decent , and I'll make diplomacy easier if you want to negociate with them.
We're starting our own alliance , the Smooth Criminals (french NSers core) , and plan to fully cooperate with Lunar Dust and particulary with one of its barons , Destnor (the planetary enslaver <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

its not war, its more of a "we are feeling the pressure, we are getting cornered" so like dogs in a corner they will fight back, ya know?
its an awkward situation because there HAS to be war, but if there are sides there will be conflicting allegiences [sp?]....
