Greates losses and defeats

ttestagr · Dec 3, 2006

We had one for wins and victories, and we really need one for when we get massive setbacks. Here is mine, 2/3rds of my ships gone along with ridiculous amounts of resources. My fleet was recycled as well before 10 minutes had passed. All down the drink. I think I'm going to go play something where I can kill lots of people now.

Edit: And another indignity, this loss has knocked me under 5000 points and back into noob protection.

This is simply one of THREE attacks on two of my planets, all with similar results. I suppose that's what I get for not having the time to check in on my systems all the time with being busy lately. :/ Gonna enter vacation mode so I can wait until I have more freetime to actually play it routinely.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and by the time I got to it, ALL of the resources in that debris field have already been recycled.

TerraBull · Dec 14, 2006

Yep, some scum attempted to farm from me the 100K+ of each resource I farmed myself from others, ah well, he bit deeply into the defenses I had already errected.

Lumias · Dec 14, 2006

Geh, I haven't been able to get on to Ogame much the last two days since my computer's internet keeps crashing when it's loaded.

Some asshole named Marcb from the Xion alliance attacked my defenses with missles. I had 10 anti-ballistics and he launched around 15 or 20.

Then launched 191 battleships at me. My ships didn't take out one of his. And the asshole then proceded to recycle the 300000 metal and 200000 crystal that my ships left when they were trashed.

In the morning if Ogame lets me log on, I'm entering Vacation mode until I'm less pissed, and I figure out what the hell is wrong with this computer.

Nasty....

I love it when that expensive shield goes down the drain....

Battleships are the worst nightmare you can have.

ttestagr · Dec 14, 2006

At least he only lost his small shield. Losing the Large one sucks all sorts of ass.

Moshulel · Dec 15, 2006

ttestagr said:

True...

Best tactic is to avoid keeping resources in one spot.

Fleet hopping if you like, a few cargo ships with just one pourpose, moving resources around. I'm also keeping my fleet on the run, don't want any unpleasant incidents with it.

Lumias · Dec 16, 2006

I lost both shields in the attack on me.

I'm not going to go in vacation mode, I figured out what was causing the computer's internet to crash. I should probably anyway since my computer's running slower then whale shit in mid-december, but eh.

I'm focusing more on my defenses hen my ships. lots of ships = target for recycling resources and with hoew goofy my computer's been acting I won't always be able to get on to fleet save.

Who fleetcrashed you? We should do a list with stuff like this.

Once we get enough ships a little payback is going to be in order.

His name is Marcb he is from the Xion alliance and he recently went into vacation mode.

Lumias said:

Ah... yes... He also hunted me quite a lot, i managed to escape every time and he wasted quite some resources with the hunt. :snigger:

I also started talking a bit with him... maybe we can gain some advantages out of it. :huh.:

SimmyC · Dec 16, 2006

Well the greatest loss I had was early in the game where I sent out a few light fighters and 2 small cargo ship, got pwn3d.

After that, I have been super cautious and had only attack those I know I could take. Call me conservative or whatever, but I managed so far. <_<

TenguPhule · Dec 16, 2006

Moshulel said:

Battleships aren't too hard to counter, I believe. By the time I leave newbie protection I intend to have at least 1K light lasers defending to discourage battleship swarms. Since battleships don't get rapid fire against them, it's simply a matter of making sure I have at least 6 LL to outlast each BB.

Bombers are the real nightmare I'm worried about.

SimmyC · Dec 16, 2006

Hmm. Thousand huh? Looks like I really need to ramp up my resource, building production then. :unsure:

TerraBull · Dec 16, 2006

I hate the fact that when I awaken, my char is 'spammed' with "You have 20 Messages!" or sometimes more as my planets have been espionaged.

And discover that a fleet is on the way or had already left, some folks doing that just to get points and keep other folks defenses low.

Moshulel · Dec 17, 2006

Or not...

Anyway having 1000LL would cost you 2.000 points... and developing them requires some researches and a bit of infra developement. Defence isn't really an option at this point.

1000 ll would most likely deter any attacker but any self respecting player that has a battleship fleet also has a few bombers with it. And all the games are off at that point.

Annoying isn't it? I guess some people just want to get a piece of our fleets. :huh.:

Not like i'll make it any easier for them. Who knows? Maybe i'll get a moon out of the ordeal. :snigger:

Yes... though one interesting tactic for players of the same level is to strike them at home while they're fleets gang against you

The defender lost a total of 617000 units.

16 Rocket Launcher, 6 Light Laser, 5 Heavy Laser, 1 Gauss Cannon, 1 Ion Cannon, 0 Small Shield Dome could be repaired.

I was hoping to use those resources to research for a battleship tech (Hyperspace Drive takes too much damn crystals!). Obviously, when encountering someone who... well, happened to have said ships, my fleet (admittedly pathetic since I was trying to balance resources saved for research and construction, to building up my defenses. Which from the above, didn't help much) was no match.

You're out of the noob protection area, so expect to get hit quite a lot. :snigger:

TenguPhule · Dec 19, 2006

Which is why I suggest that everyone in newbie protection forget about building fleets (except for probes and cargo) and plow the money into defenses, infrastructure and research.

No way in hell to match any of the larger fleets, so make it painful for them to hit you instead. Better to do the big shot fundamental research that needs all those hundreds of thousands of resources early while the big fleets can't attack and then only leave little amounts that go straight into defenses once the protection is off.

Already got battleship tech, starting on destroyers research next and I'm still under 4000 points. My defenses can stop any cruiser or fighter raids, but once I leave protection all I'm building is defenses and upgrading the weapons and shields until I have enough to bleed a battleship fleet into thinking twice before atttacking me.

ttestagr · Dec 19, 2006

The problem with that is that the size of the fleets that will hit you will also keep them from taking any losses. Don't expect to get Plasma Turrets quickly either, the requirements just to get plasma tech are a money pit. Upgrading that to level 7 in order to be able to produce the damn things are another money pit.

And 50k metal 50k crystals and 20k deuterium for each piece....

Yep, after a certain point, you become open to all the larger folks, I got hit with this.
