Ogame Beta

[locke69]

Well, I tried this game out last year, thought it was interesting. Now that I'm bored, I decided to revisit the game and saw that the game has expanded into 42 universes and the 42nd is the beta for an improved version of the game.

So, I've jumped into the beta under my normal handle.

Feelings so far, its a slower version of Ogame, using more Flash then old one but the interface and data looks a lot better and presented in a clearer fashion.

And besides the slow load times, I'm enjoying the game so far, even with its slow start up like any other version of Ogame.

Edit: In the spare time I had, I just looked through the alliances already in universe 42. Pretty much, the only alliance that looks like its professional and has any lasting power, is a Portuguese guild with 84 members and is the number one guild.

Hmmm... Think we should create an Ogame TFF alliance in Universe 42?

Only if we get a few more people, otherwise we'll turn out like Lufio in the Universe that he's in.

And with the Beta, your main objective is to get Dark Matter, and as much as possible. Once the Beta is complete, all you have left is Dark Matter.

Well, as it is, Ogame has me a bit stuck at the moment. Not too badly, but I am still stuck somewhat.

So far, this is what I have built up:

Resource Production
Metal level 9
Crystal level 9
Deuterium level 6
Solar level 10
Fusion Plant level 3
Solar Sat level 1 (building level 2 right now)

Facilities
Robotics Facility level 2
Shipyard level 1
Research Lab level 1

Research
Energy level 3

Defenses
Rocket Launcher level 2

So far, my biggest problems is that I'm barely getting enough energy to get 100% input and output from my Resource buildings. The massive cost just to research anything past level 1. As well as the cost of the defenses and satellites this time (the basic defenses each cost 2000 collectively of all resources).

Though once I get my next Solar Sat out, I'm building a Duet level 7 to counter-balance the 40 Duet I lost per hour to my Fusion Plant and then start stockpiling resources to build up a web of defenses (the system I'm in is full of players with between 1000 and 2000 points).
