If there was someone I wanted dead, could anyone spare an assault on them?

Also, can you share technology with others?

An assault would be useless this soon in the round.
And no you can't share technology.

Your best bet to negate attacks is to always spend your resources before you leave the browser.
Preferabbly mines or to energy. And when you can't spend it to something spend it on defense. Not on rocket turrets though. Small lasers are cheaper and more powerfull.

okay...been curious about user-status tags.

v=vacation mode, got two of those.
* = currently active
b = banned got one bv probably recalled ban on vacation?
i inactive, I very inactive

I got one 'n' ... new? he's green, which indicates a weaker player iirc.

* doesn't mean there online. It just means they've had activity. Ie by an attack/probe OR the user has clicked a link. So a * also is shown after you probe an user.

Btw a rapidfire of 100 doesn't mean that 100 are destroyed. There's a forumla for it. Check the guides on the ogame board for it.

Good news folks. The arcadia Alliance has agreed to enter a NAP with us! YEY!

In other news, the best defence for not losing resources, and still wanting them for other things, is to send them away in cargo vessels to a friendly homeworld at 10% speed. And when the attacks over just recall them.

Got my basics up and a first level fusion reactor.
3 RL, 3SL defence.
I'll soon be able to get some cargos built.
Thinking of building a LF...good idea or are cargoes better spent this early?

Another thing:
AFAIK excess power is wasted, but has no negative effect on res production, however having too little power reduces production speed.
\
Is it better to adjust mine-production so that energy is again positive or to leave the mines running at lesser capacity due to power shortage?

Well, depends really, I usually keep my metal mining lowers than my crystal and Deuterium even though its a higher level. Reason being is that I usually have plenty metal to spare. So the power i need goes into crytal and deut making.

[qwertyuiopas]

The resources window should show the current rates.
I THINK that when you have a power shortage it just reduces everything to use the power you have, so a small shortage shoudn't be a problem. Then again, I do not know for sure so it would be best to look it up.

Some solo player with one planet sent out 8 ships after probing me. I have 1 Heavy laser, and will have about 4-5 Light lasers when they arrive.

He went on vacation mode right after he sent the fleet, so it won't let me do anything to him.

8 Ships. No idea what kind, but he appears to only have 1 planet and no alliance. I think they are light fighters. Even if they are heavy, I think I can do some damage.

EDIT:
3 Heavy, 1 light, 1 cargo.
Ran off with 5K of fuel. I lost only one light turret.
Eh. Not as bad as I thought.

[The Doctor]

Hey, I need deuterium and crystal.

If you can send me 5k of both, I'll give you 15k metal.

But message me about it. >.>

[Idiom]

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I have a load of Deuterium. I can spare 5K to those who want it, but I need crystal.

[Areyar]

sorry, got plenty of deut myself even if I'm burning it.

I did just utterly destroy 4 small freighters that tried to raid me though.

[Idiom]

That guy who ran off with 5K Deuterium, and went on vacation so I couldn't retaliate, he probed me again.
He learned that I have 35 more light laser turrets than when he last came.

I probed him. He only has 25 turrets and a single heavy fighter. I win!

I'm trying to save for a nanite factory... So it's been pretty hard for me to get anything else.

Not a good idea right now. I'd suggest building up your empire etc. before you get onto the heavy techs, you won't have the economy to support it.

I have a level 8 robotics factory, and level 4 computer factories.

And to gain the heavy tech I need level ten or higher for both of them.
