I guess expeditions have some more use, as well.

EDIT:
Also bought a Fusion Reactor for the hell of it (it was 400 Metal and something like 600 Crystal), and it converts 11 Deuterium into 32 Energy. My Solar Satellites produce 38 Energy at the cost of no other resources. Suck on it, Fusion Reactor.

*Rai's fleet comes over and fucks the solar satellites outta the sky while Devlin cries beside his lv1 Fusion Reactor*

Or I could keep relying on my Solar Plants.

We came across the remains of a previous expedition! Our technicians will try to get some of the ships to work again.

The following ships are now part of the fleet:
Light Fighter 2
Espionage Probe 2

I guess expeditions have some more use, as well.

I got 1/6 from mine, and I used 1 probe
Going on another, this time with the light fighter I got. Also, Dazed is getting beat in ranking because I went on that expedition. Tell me it's useless again

Is the tutorial supposed to take this long?

You shouldn't really use the tutorial, more or less work on mass resources...and I don't really have time to type up everything right now, but I'm sure that people will help before I can get back to you on that.

Third planet, wut.

The tutorial is just a guideline in the general direction you should go. It's by no means a real tutorial, but the bonuses are nice. I went through it all and by talking with posion when we first started, quickly gained a grasp for the game in general.

Fusion reactors are only a standby if you rely on Satelites and you get hit - since you can turn them on and off. You should really only be building Metal, Crystal, Deut mines and Solar Plants though.

I fucking hate my spot in Hydra. No decent inactive farms nearby - so I'm having to rely purely on my mines to get me up and running. (Edit: I'm still ranked 4th in the Alliance despite joining as late as the 13th member - get your fucking act together!! )

If we're keen on a restart in Jupiter (the next Universe to be released), as I've said before - we should use this universe as a practice/testing ground, and then move to Jupiter - competitively - for those who are keen.

Some common things to share are locations of decent inactives, instant-messaging details (so we can co-ordinate big Hall of Fame hits later), general espionage reports. There was another 3rd party tool (that I cannot for the life of me remeber) - which was effectively a database where your alliance members could post espionage reports and it would store all this information for quick browsing. Very useful in Alliance wars for sniping a players weaker planets constantly draining his resources, while searching for his main fleet.

IM details could be Lingie's TS, has a chat and voice to boot

EDIT: In that case, I'm attacking Sanctuary for the lulz.

EDIT 2: Wait, what? The speedsim is broke. I had full espionage reports on both of his planets, none of his stats changed whatsoever, and I lost. He didn't even lose one unit. The speedsim said I had 100% chance of winning, and if he sent his ships over, it would make my percentage drop to 65% win, 35% draw. His techs were accounted for, as were mine, and neither got changed...wtf is this shit?

EDIT 3: Oh, ok, misread. That was his counter-espionage raping my probes. Half an hour till I rape his face.

EDIT 4:

The attacker has won the battle! He captured 7.081 metal, 4.506 crystal and 345 deuterium.

The attacker lost a total of 0 units.
The defender lost a total of 22.000 units.
At these space coordinates now float 4.050 metal and 2.550 crystal.

I'll pay you back triple what I took, btw. That means you'll get 21,243 metal, 13,518 crystal, and 1,035 Deut, once I get my ships back I'll be sending the minerals straight back, probably sometime in the morning.

LOL

You let Pandaman in? I was attacking him. HE WAS MY GOLDEN EGG LAYING GOOSE. :C

There's nothing that stops you from attacking him again. Besides, come at me bro, I need a debris field. [2.227.4]. See you soon.

How can I be apart of an alliance that doesn't care about it's own members. Uncool man.

I was on an expedition, that's why you thought you won. Also,


Cool.

Hopefully you didn't send anything more than a fighter or something
Also, dude, the stats don't lie. 65% victory won't change much, except maybe to a 50/50 win/draw, with the addition of a fighter/cargo.

You wanna play ball, attack me. I've got a fighter out on an expedition now

So I didn't realize that it costs 10 Deuterium to scan through each system page of a galaxy. What a pain in the ass.

EDIT:
Unless this is some sort of glitch, but it reduces my Deuterium by 10 each time.

It is not a glitch.
If someone's willing, and can find a decent target, we aught to form an allied fleet and rape someone's face

Ah, lovely. I had 200 left after I started construction on my first Colony ship, and it disappeared as I was scanning the galaxy. Bastard galaxy!

Yeah it's 10 deuterium for every system you view.

http://ogame.gamestats.org/ used to have a galaxy search (it still does) but the one I remember allowed you to search for empty planet slots. You basically want to land in Slot 7, or 8/9 or 6 at a push.

Edit: Also some fag from my galaxy just tried to attack me with 44 espionage probes.

I bet he meant to do an espionage hahaha!

Is there an upgrade (or research, rather) that increases the speed of cargo ships? It takes me 6 hours to attack someone and bring back resources at the moment.

Yes. Impulse drive level 5 replaces small cargoes combustion drives. My research finished yesterday.
