General Talk / General Discussion / Re: Very serious game blindspot
|
on: June 10, 2009, 09:22:51 PM

A very serious game blindspot that cost me billions !
Just now I was online, and someone attacked me and all my ships kaput.
Then that guy started to raid my secret base. I had billions sitting there so I took it out to purchase new ship from the design that I have made.
Lo and behold, the ship is there, and before I could buy any marines, that guy did a board attack and my new ship gone !
This is a blindspot, man.
When new ships are purchased, there ought to be a minute or so "protection" for us to hire the marines.
In my case, I had NO TIME to hire any marines (I still had billions left _after_ I resupplied my fleet, and I intended to hire marines) and that guy did the board attack.
Because of this stupid blindspot, billions gone !!!!!!
Ok this has happened to me one in my 2 years of playing spaceo. There are two ways to stop it from happening A don't buy new ships unless your in a nebula. B never buy ships unless you have pships out in large numbers some people will attack you if you have 0 ships one second and 1 or 2 the next as it appears you just bought new superships. Which means, if one is under attack, one has to sit tight through all the attacks, watching segments being plundered, secret based being ransacked and still do nothing. That ain't something really "appetizing", or is it? |

Already tried more than 10 times to kill that d**n rabbit, and every time I got the same "why can't I attack??? The rabbit jumps around an you can't hit it..." thing.
How to rescue Sir E when that d**n rabbit keeps jumping around and around? Hmm.......
Edit: after 20 tries (300 turns) I give up.
Please help me kill that d**n rabbit at the Hassaleh - Gamma Canes 171,661 quadrant.

General Talk / Design & Strategy Room / Re: Acu rating
|
on: June 05, 2009, 04:47:58 AM
|
Actually it is neither.
The acu is applied to he attack to determine how much of the attack is actually used.
So it would be:
1 Bil * .75 = 750 Mil
The acu bonus is applied to the acu by adding a percentage to it so it would be:
1 Bil * (.75*1.20) = 900 Mil
Ooooh... thanks for the tip !!  I stand corrected. |

General Talk / Design & Strategy Room / Acu rating
|
on: June 05, 2009, 04:31:20 AM
|
|
A ship with acu rating of 75%. If the att power is 1 bil, the effective attack power is 1.75 bil, right?
If I use my CP to increase the acu rating (Target Tracker) by another 20%, what would be the effective attack power?
Which of the following would be the result?
A. 1.75 bil X 1.2 = 2.1 bil
or
B. 1 bil X ( 1 + 0.75 + 0.20 ) = 1.95 bil

Feedback Terminal / Suggestions / Re: What will happen to alien hives?
|
on: June 05, 2009, 04:17:50 AM
|

I have the same thought too.
If queen is not destroyed, she will spawn a whole new generation of alpha and mature, which are tasked for building and protecting the hives.
And as hive/planet grows, they will spread to other solar system in the quadrant, one queen per solar system, and the multi-queen force can even attack neighboring quadrants.
Warping into quadrants controlled by alien hives would be very dangerous. Players will be attack in mid air (mid warp) if warping into the center of the quadrant. Only players with super-strong ships (those with multi trillion HP) can go in without being destroyed.
Weaker players will have their ships destroyed, secret base ransacked, and thrown out of the quadrant.

General Talk / Design & Strategy Room / How to be a "lean" player?
|
on: June 05, 2009, 03:54:46 AM
|
|
Is there a way to play this game without having to acquire way too many segments?
As I do not have a lot of credits for building superships, the segments have become a burden for me, as other players will attack me again and again because of the huge number of segments I have.
Is there a way to "give away" those segments to other players without having my ships destroyed again and again?

Feedback Terminal / "Bugs" and Problems / A drought of Special Events
|
on: June 05, 2009, 03:40:09 AM
|
|
In many places, either all the special events are gone, or there is only one or two very powerful ones left.
Another problem with special events is that they don't "rotate" as usual.
At the start of this round, I can "rotate" the special event by doing a screen reload. Not now, though.
No matter how many times I reload the screen, or click on the "System View", the special event just isn't rotating.
A bug, maybe?

General Talk / General Discussion / A question about segment
|
on: June 05, 2009, 03:05:13 AM
|
|
Sorry for this 3rd message.
Often when others attacked me, they grabbed away a lot of segments, like hundreds of segments in one grab.
But when I retaliate, I only grab back 2 or 3 segments.
Why is that?

General Talk / General Discussion / Is it possible to attack others hiding in nebula?
|
on: June 05, 2009, 02:58:49 AM

I was attacked and ended up in the nebula. The opponent then scout for my secret base. 38 seconds later he found my secret base, and raided it.
What I don't understand is, isn't the nebula protection lasted for 24 hours? How can it be that only after couple of seconds the opponent locating my secret base?
Proof 1: 2009-06-03 08:07:29
REMOTE ATTACK - BOARD!!!
deerslayer(#52952) boarded your fleet and mothership.
At exactly 2009-06-03 08:07:29 I ended up in the nebula.
Proof 2: 2009-06-03 08:08:07
REMOTE ATTACK - SCOUT!!!
Scouting party identified as belonging to deerslayer(#52952).
ALERT! The enemy located and scaned your secret base.
By 2009-06-03 08:08:07, a mere 38 seconds AFTER the initial attack (while I was still hiding in the nebula), opponent found my secret base.
How can that be?

In the WAR Counter/Attack menu I set "Always Try" as the default.
How can someone attack me so many times even with "Always Try" as the default?
Is this a bug?
