look closer then in uni 1 I raid consistenly in two hours or less

it takes 1.5 hours to raid 2 planets away

it takes 2 hours to raid 1 solar system away....

but for some strange reason i can raid a galaxy away in 2.5 hours, but it takes me 4-6 to raid a hundred solar systems away...

the only good resources i have found are at least 100 solar systems away

now just nbeed the resources to build it.

Todrick, every upgrade you do to Combustion engines makes your ships fly 10% faster. At level 8 like I am now in Uni1, you can reach planets in your solar system in about 53 minutes.

makes sense.. think im at level 3... been focusing on the impulse engines for the colony ship...

onc ei colonize it will be time to hunker down and upgrade

Make sure to research this too guys:

Ive applied to Xoc alliance. I am currently wreaking havoc in my little universe section. here is where I am at: 3:133:11 I have won all 4 battles so far and have gotten quite a bit of booty from my nieghbors.

BUILDING TECH
Metal mine level 10
crystal level 10
dueterium 8
Solar plant 9
fusion plant 2
research lab 4

RESEARCH TECH
espionage 4
computer tech 3
weapon tech 2
armor tech 3
energy tech 3
impulse engine 1
laser tech 5

FLEET
2 sm cargo
5 light fighter
4 probes
5 solar sattelites

DEFENSE
10 missile launchers
10 small lasers

I find that if you are doing well but power is negative, reduce some of your factories a percentage until you get into positive energy.

I have deuterium going at 30% right now because I have a decent amount of it.

When you send a fleet I see PLANET, MOON, and DF. What does DF mean? Defend?

DF means Debris Field. If you see a 'T' next to a planet in the Galaxy view then it means there is Debris there. Hover your mouse over the T and it will say how much, you'll see 2 numbers. The first number is Metal, the 2nd is Crystal i.e. 10,300:21,000 would mean there is 10,300 metal and 21,000 crystal floating out there.

You can send recyclers to Debris Fields once you get them. A debris field is created when someone attacks a planet and the defence on that planet destroys some of the fleet.

So basically, if you have a big ass fleet and are attacking a well defended planet, there are going to be some losses. So you send your recyclers to arrive a few mins after your fleet to the DF to clean up and recover some of your lost resources.

Well, If anyone gets in Universe 6 let me know.

I joined before I saw where everyone else was. I am too far along to start over now.

start another gamne in uni 8 and play both... i'll send you resources to help you get going

Sent you a app for admission. Todrick

some resources are on the way... but you are WAY the hell out there

Just won my first battle with my 10 light, 2 heavy fighters and 5 cargo ships. I'll be catching up you guys in no time! Captured about 30,000 in resources.

congrats!

I broke the top 700 players last night. Scary part is I haven't been doing much scouting and I've been sending alliance members resources.

I'm catching up with you guys! Just sent a colony ship out to a rather empty Gal 4. Going to build a strong base out there.

Wow, just found this thread....guess I should read XOC on a more regular schedule.

Request for membership sent...Username Broken Tooth, planet name Havas.

Application accepted.

Sending you a small care package too to get you started. 5000 metal, 5000 crystal and 4900 Deut. That should last you a while. Concentrate on building up your own mines tho. something like:

Solar, metal, metal, solar, metal, metal, solar, metal, crystal, solar, metal, crystal.

Always seems to work well for me. After which you can concentrate on whatever you are short of.

I just created a forum at: http://www.xocalliance.com for members to use too.

1659 points in universe 6. We have a small two-man over here if you want to start a second game. I have been playing both and its pretty fun.

I already play in Uni1 and Uni8. Uni 6 too would be way to much to keep track of! lol.

I did have 11,000 points in Uni 1, until I got banned by the Nazi GO. Had to start again, but already up to 1,000 in about 7 days with the new account.

How'd you get banned?

Anyone else still playing in uni 8?

i just started one in universe 8...

weee thanks now i'm hooked on this game. Uni17 for me which just started on monday. Seems interesting so far
