I'm being attacked

ttestagr · Dec 8, 2006

Well, since I am once again facing GTFO or die forces I figute this type of thread is appropriate.

The same guy is attacking me for a third time now, and there is no point to it since I don't have enough resources handy to make up for the cost of 296 battleships. Last time he got only 1 metal, but I lost a few 100k worth of defense. Any suggestions would be nice when you see this GH.

ttestagr · Dec 8, 2006

Well, I talked to the guy and he said he'd let up on my for a few days. He attacked twice today and walked away with only 1 metal in total. Considering that the first attack was 291 battleships and the second was 296, he had quite a loss on resources. I lost more though. A few 100k's worth went down the toilet with the defenses that could not be repaired. Lost both my shields too as well as over 10 gauss cannons. I lost a lot of rank today, 26 spots in the first attack and I don't even want to know how many in this last one.

From here on I'm focusing on battleships and finishing up my plasma turret requirements. I only have two more levels to go in plasma tech before I can start deploying them, and they should each take long enough that I can get quite a few raids in to pay for ships.

who was it that attacked you anyway?

Dark Knight Gafgar · Dec 8, 2006

I'd try to think up some method of helping you, or something, but your sig image is distracting me... must go take care of business, yes.....

Edit: Try moving stuff to a more secure location. I'm going to be building a colony in that system we occupied and moving everything I can there, so if someone attacks my "homeworld" they'll be walking away with nothing.

You might want to build a colony in another galaxy. That way, even if someone has a moon array, ou can deploy there and they'll have exactly two choices - burn up a massive amount of deuterium to reach your world (296 battleships burn up something like 50k deuterium to move from a galaxy to another) or do nothing and watch as you ship your stuff to safety with a deployment.

One more tip: you may want to focus on battleships and ignore defenses for a while. Battleships are a scary defense force in their own right, and if you ship 'em away to safety, you can eventually come back after amassing a lot of 'em and then launch a massive counterattack.

Also, if you see someone attacking you and you have a LOT of shit in orbit, consider deploying enough ships to get a moonchance. Once you get a moon, nobody will be stupid enough to attack you without knowing what you have there. Mainly because phalanxes can't scan moons, so you can ninja-attack a fleet that's trying to be cute.

I can build BattleShips currently and could maybe scrape togther a 100k of each resource, If I can, would you like me to ship it somewhere? I may be concidering building a secure location a few galaxies away, anyone suggesting a spot? been getting a lot of espionage drones around my planets, scum..

ttestagr · Dec 9, 2006

Come around to 7/320. It costs about 1k deut and 8 hours to get a L. Cargo out there, and much much more for warships. I'm diverting excess battleships there with my cargos so I can have a reserve fleet in case I lose everything in galaxies 1 and 2.

Perfect Psionic Soldier · Dec 9, 2006

Just remember to try to leave slot 10 of that world for me =p

I would send over a colony but I keep gettind sidetracked with research towards a battleship >_<

GenocideHeart · Dec 9, 2006

I've found aan excellent system in Galaxy 4. 4:38... it only has a banninated guy who'll stay that way until 2034, and he has Planet 1, so who cares. I'll colonize spot 4 there ASAP, and I've seen a ton of inactives in the immediate vicinity.

Consider it.

ttestagr · Dec 9, 2006

Wow I had a bad night in this game. I fleetsaved to go to bed and woke up an hour late. Got back to find two of my planets got hit, and quite a few of my ships gone. I don't even know the reason for it, on one of the planets there were no resources to speak of and the debris field from my small fleet hasn't even been touched.

I got a moonchance from the attack on my homeworld, but no luck again.

SimmyC · Dec 9, 2006

I'm sending a colony ship to 4:38:5 right now.

As for being attacked, I've been lucky so far. The only one that has attacked me was some weak character, TrueBaller. However, Mordor is also spying on me... (no time to give coordinates. Have to go to work).

"The Town is under attack!"

Moshulel · Dec 10, 2006

Had a few attack attempts... well more than just a few... anyway it was looking bad:

Bombers and battleships! Unfortunatly for those guys my fleet saving system made them waste deuterium. :snigger:

None of them was willing to attack a planet that had no resources for them to take, so i witnesed a lot of fleets retreating before they could do damage.

ttestagr... i have a funny feeling that the guy that's pestering you wants a farm... he's prolly trying to make you quit. Don't give up!

GenocideHeart · Dec 10, 2006

Alternatively, do like me and go on vacation for a couple weeks. They'll move on to better targets in that time, and after you return you can SUPRIZZZ BUTTSEX them

ttestagr · Dec 11, 2006

Went into vacation mode, but not for that. Had work to do and not much time for the internet. Console games are taking up the small amount I have left.

Heh... just get plasma turrets online.

Anyway, i was recently under attack from a upper level player... I had my fleet on the run and he retreated. Now i'm chatting with him. :rofl:

Who knows...

ttestagr · Dec 13, 2006

Plasma Turrets aren't enough. I checked the simulations, and the 300 battleships that were being thrown at me would have won against even 50 PT, 100 GC, 200 HL & IC, with 400 RL & LL.

When I get back on I'm focussing on battleships alone, to make up the backbone of my new fleet.

TerraBull · Dec 13, 2006

I would also advise on finding another person, with less defenses, and maybe destroy their and mine debris as well? (I did that, was too far away, and someone else made off with my 'winnings'. >;p)

I just lost the BULK of my fleet!

It wasn't another player, it wasn't a failed attack...

BLOODY BUG!

ttestagr · Dec 13, 2006

It happens, but it'll show up again. Happened to me a few times actually, most often when I recall fleets.

Is it still being shown on the fleet screen?

Moshulel · Dec 13, 2006

ttestagr said:

Yes... but it's not looking good...

And i don't want to lose those 20 battleships.

*Not to mention that there's a whole fleet of escorts with them.

SimmyC · Dec 13, 2006

I don't even have A battleship yet. <_< Again, need to find planets to raid.

Heh... don't worry you'll get them... though you should keep in mind that internal production can be very helpfull.

Just recently had a fleet targetting my home planet. Sent a message to the upper-ranking player to welcome him, since it was my very first invading force and to inquire as to what his intentions were.

But since I was quite polite in the message and took the impending attack in stride, he offered to recall the attack. I accepted. :lol: I could have agreed to let the attack continue and have a chance at a moon, but like I told the guy, I'd rather not deal with the vultures that would follow up on the attack.

Opening talks with your attackers can sometimes pay off. :mmm: Well, as long as the attacker keeps his word. ^_^

SimmyC · Dec 21, 2006

Well, once you hit 5000, you get a huge target on your head. :sweat: Found that out the hard way.

Good thing Irish Toker left me alone now. Even said "GLOTR". :sweat: How considerate of him.
