*sigh* i did the math and ya, you guys are right, in a fleet of less then somwhere around 20k ships it is better to go for hp also in order for armor to be max efficient ship has to be pretty big so in order for armor to work better you need (very roughly) 20k+ ships that each cost upwards of 10mil to make armor work better, and even then it only works better against the enemies with less attack then it happens to have armor. oh ya, i also spent 5 hours designing a ship that is half way decent  on a side note... seriously, how do i get peeps in to my alliance? |

YES! Thank you so much but I'm sorry, I must beg to differ, defence is most certainly not useless. Thank you for the formulas, I will modify them to include defence. What would be the minimum size of a ship that follows this? On a side note, (since this is a newb help topic) how do you invite people to join an alliance (the botton just doesn't seem to be where i remember it).
*Sorry for asking such stupid questions, like I mentioned earlier, it's been a long time.
the minimum size for this is i would say few hundered thousand space, that is how i design ships ranging from 25 mill up , sidenote you can change the energy wep/special ratio to get different results like ships with stronger att then special |

There is no list that you can get legally get of the alliance controlled systems. Here's the Illegal Method:  Hack in to SirEmi's Servers "servers say  ", get the information you need  , then  your tracks, after that fake your  to make sure Emi can't find you. |

dont spend on workers... probably go with mission ships.. thats good to start you on encounters and good encryptions.. but save a lil bit just incase you hit some bad luck

alright... i'm just hesitant to spend my money because in the past there was always some bigger guy that borded/killed my ship soon as i built a decent one also how much should i save (amount or %)
on a side note are there any bonuses for controling a system?
