Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

I sent a fleet to scout a player with 0 o ships... and i get
" 's fleet and mothership were huge.
Your fighters knew they would face certain death and turned back"

he has a small mothership with 0 fleets. What's going on?
I am not going to say the players's name because is irrrelevant, it happened with different players with or without alliance.  :confused:

mabye this player had too big an overall power in comparison to u
i dont really know cuz this never happened to me

you need ships to search for the base

Lol... i sent a fleet to scout DUGH.... The other guy had no ships whatsoever...

his overall power is greater then that of yours, therefor,e you can't scout him. Next time you talk like that to a moderator, actions will be taken, as it is a violation of ToS. THIS is your only warning.

what mod no mods have posted here

you have to send ships with fleet power close to the commander you are scouting.

example: commander has 1 billion fleet power and zero ships, you have to send ships close to that power to scout if you are lower. If you are higher in rankings you can send anything. I think it works something like that.

If it says the mothership was huge, your fighters stand no chance - send more fleets

my mistake, this is why people should not be able to use other people's avatars. I saw your avatar russel and thought snipedragon was posting. I'll have to talk to Sir Emi about this.

And yes, Silverthorne is right.

Off topic: I was not impolite, i tought the answer was ironic, so i was ironic ...in self defence     angel_not, however, point taken.  hi
On topic: Maby he was much to powerfull... but he had no ships, and he was in my rank range... And besides my fleets should do what i ask them to do, even if their death is involved. Obviously with 13 segments and no fleets he should have a huge rank to be in top 200...

simple, it's a glitch, one that happens a lot. That or he had a LOT of credits, which isn't likely.

and saying Duh (you spelled it dugh) to a commander is considered impolite, just so you know. and just becaue he is in your rank rank (meaning on screen) doesn't mean he is in range (meaning you can click him) and even if he was, his power could still have been too much for your ships if most of your power is from your base.

I know what you mean joe, I feel the same way, if I decide to send my fleets on a suicide mission they should go no matter what - after all I'm the commander  :12:

Ask not what your commander can do for you, DO WHAT YOUR COMMANDER SAYS !!!!!!!!  kboom :death: :rip2: :out_cold: :electricchair: :dead:

Well i guess his power comes from rank and facilities.... and my power comes mainly from my fleets. However:
1. i don't think is normal to be unable to attack a commander with no neb protection 12 size mothership and no fleets at all, who is in my range (click works), no matter the rank and facilities.
2. i don't think is normal for my fleets to chicken out, no matter what, when i give an attack order. Is a different matter when i am attacked, when fleets should run if overwhelmed.  In order to prevent using tiny fleets as kamikaze scouts maby they should be destroyed but the size and capabilities of the attacked fleet should not be revealed (like :??????? ??????? ??????? ???????)
3. Espionaje and counter-espionaje is a must in this type of game, including alliance members, alliance power, fleet size and power, rank, command points, commander prestige, and so on, leaving designs 4 gold members acess as intended. If scouting do not work... there is no real espionaje other than using alts to infiltrate the others alliance.

hmm, this gives me an idea for a suggestion, I'll go post it up, check it out.

in game name is nexis and how come you are saying 66 posts left seither

because I was 66 posts away from my 3000th post, now I am 49, hence the 49 posts left at the bottom of my comment. But see, you and snipedragon have the same avatar, so I saw that and though you were snipedragon, it was an easy mistake, lol.

i never new that he had this pic i have had it since i first signed up for the forum ps i will not change it-not being rude but i wont  :21:

oh, it's fine, i just learned that I'll have to pay a little more attention to who is posting, and not assume by a picture (apparently, everyone who puts an avatar on the forum, ends up adding it to the database of choosable avatars, which is why you and he have the same avatar, lol).

First Sergeant
*********               what will you be next when you reach 3000

can i change my name from russell to nexis on here

you'll have to ask sir emi on the name changing thing, I don't think you can without signing up again.

as for what rank I'll be, no clue. I may not get a new rank, no one knows what ranks are achieved at what post lvls, I'm the first to get this high, in fact, I'm the only one to go above 2000 posts.

~46 posts left~

was that because you was a mod(just getting your posts up)

no, I was/am a mod(I moderate certain areas of the forum) because I spend enough time online and Sir Emi thinks I'll do a good job at it. Being a mod has nothing do to with rank (if a mod posts in an area that they are a moderator in, they'll have 5 big green stars and it'll say moderator as their ranking). I'm just very active on the forums, more then anyone else.
