Colonies.

I've finished setting up the defenses of my colonies. They have 24 Rockets, 12 L. Lasers, 6 H. Lasers, 6 Ion Cannons, and 3 Gauss Cannons each. While that can be broken, I've also moved everything that was on them to my homeplanet. All thats left on each are 5 S. Cargoes and a Recycler to ship what they produce to my home planet and pick up resources that get shot up in their orbit. I'll ship the necessary resources to them when I want to upgrade something.
Right now I'm setting up my tech so I can produce Battleships. Once that is done I'll create my real colonies, worlds far away that can support themselves and become major powers where they are located.

Hmm, odd my colony on planet 3 and my homeworld on planet 9 are both getting 50 energy from a single solar satelite.
Hmm. So far, my "Skuld" colony's resources have been... a wash. I mean, from its Crystal and Metal mines, they are producing the same amount if they were further away. And with only 40 fields, I might have to abandon this one, and have Skuld move to a different world. Which, major waste of resources. :angry:
That is a perfect colony. That would be a decent size to get on the 4-6 worlds, in the 15 you get the benefits of more deut though. You can bulk up a fusion reactor on that world to make up for the lack of solar satellites, and have it produce all resources instead of just deut. You lucked out completely, and I'm more than jealous.
Speaking of colonies, I have a colony ship out. Its going to 1/368/4, unless someone else colonizes it before it gets there in which case I'll recall it and find someplace else.

I now have a colony in Galaxy 3, position 3:227:5. I have a few inactives close by, and am rapidly building the colony up, with a possible second one about to be made in position 6 of the same system.
I plan to have my last colony be in an empty system in Galaxy 4 or 5, FYI. I'll let you know as soon as find the right spot. Or who knows, I'll make a fortress in Galaxy 8 or 9 for nothing but research.

I am going crazy trying to colonize galaxy 1. I just abandoned my third colony there. The first two were in the 4 spot, and this last attempt was in the 5 postition. All of them only had 50 fields. Now I have another colony ship in production to try for a fourth time.
Yeah, colony ships are expensive, I am lucky that I managed to find enough resources to get a bunch togther, I should warn folks that are in the galaxy 3 System 163, 164 area, that Jerk bad santa has been sending out Probes so he may be 'visiting' someone soon depending.
Some of my colonies are still small, and maxed out. >;p

I just blew up my 4th colony....
63 fields in the 5th spot, it was utter crap. Colony ships aren't really all that expensive, the worst part about them is the crystal cost. That isn't so bad either, I pull in more than 20k crystal on most of my raids.
As soon as the upgrade to my shipyard finishes, I'm going to get started on a new one.
