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

Hey guys.

Just started playing this game last week. Made a few mistakes learning how to play the game but getting the hang of.

Starting to feel like I'm getting a bit of a fleet together but ever 'Reaver' fleet i click on is sooo far out of my league..

I'm just wondering? What sort of numbers do I roughly need before I can take on these fleets? Do I need 250,000 well armed Barakuda MK 1's??.. or more??

I would design my own fleet of superships to take out the reavers. Id recomend getting a fleet of 3-4 fleets of 1 supership per fleet. Their combined power should be greater than 1/2 the power of the reavers you are trying to take out. Also do bother trying to take out the reavers until you have several hundred million lying around to mine or have enough segs to counteract the cost of mining. It is pointless to clear the reavers without it. If you want some designs, check out the forum or go here

Yeah, zerg is right, it's better to make your own designs/use player made ones, as the pre-made designs are pretty lame. :P

Those trainee fighters are annoying htough  :))

For ALL new players --- IGNORE reavers, you have absolutely no need to mine anything until you a) know the basics of the game , and b) your encrypt level is over 100 and you have lots of mining bonus items and plenty of credits.

This is mostly true but killing reavers also improves rep so if you have a negative rep you may want to kill reavers to keep from being boutied. :21:

That's not really that important at that level though...losted is right, go for encryptions first.

exactly, new players need not worry about reavers, heck, i don't even worry about them half the time, lol.

I would be singing if I *could* actually get my encrypt level that high. Must mean i'm a noob :(

you just need to play more, lol. encrypt goes up the more successful encrypts you complete, has nothing to do with skill really.

Well on war server he made a base in a system I happened to be visitting, faults like that shouldnt be made  :wow:

lol FTP, next time, make sure to post your holiday traveling plans, that way noobs may get out of your way, rather than be blasted to smithereens again :wow:

Heh, It happens. I think a lot of people like blasting me ;)

*changes his own name to the n00best n00b of n00bt0wn*

hehe FTP your lucky.... one of my allies found you and out you on intel but i was out of turns... o well ill get you yet xD

I was on holiday so you had plenty of time I would think :P

please get back on topic, this is about noobs Vs. reavers, not who got attacked by whom. Thank you.

well then there isnt a topic cause noobs shouldnt be botherting to attack the darn reavers in the first place

I do that :( . Im just wait in for he minin research to be done.  Does any body even kill revears cause ive been in a bout 100 different sytems and there are reavers everywhere.  There good target practice
