Please for your benefit and the Alliances be nice, respectful, and courteous to EVERYONE.

If you attack someone do NOT brag or make fun of them for losing.

If you lose a battle do not whine or complain.

BE NICE and try to make friends.

And if someone is trashing you guys and making fun of you or anything just ignore it and be the bigger man (or woman?). =]]]

Combat Simulators= (will similate a battle 4 u, b4 u risk ur fleet)

http://drago-sim.com/index.php?lang=english = 9/10 = great the 1 i hav alwayz used, no downloads, itz free, quick easy 2 use..

bt is not 100% accurate (hence 9/10) bt itz close so jst allow 4 it by sending a couple more ships, i jst ussually put their battle techs up 1or2 and u can copy and paste ur esponage reports staight into it saves time

battle techs = weapons60%,shields80%,armour40%, aka= w6,s8,a4 it gt me confused whn i 1st started lol

http://www.speedsim.net/ = cant r8 it my self but heard itz 10/10 beter then drago-sim(online/downloadable)

theirs others dnt hav time now

Combat Report Converters (crc)=

http://www.takanacity.com/ = 10/10 = i say the most common used and the best easy 2 use, never heard of any probs wif it..
also has a cost converter 4 buids,ships,def,research, - hasnt been updated 4 astrophysics tho

how 2 use this crc (TAKANA)
-click on the link cr converter
- paste whole detailed combat report in left box
- select fleets in colom (makes it easier 2 read)
- other boxes like coordernates and techs r up 2 u, anythg else u shouldnt really change(note: coordernates r illegal in war treads)
- select format report, now the box on the left(pretty) box is jst 4 show, the box on the right(ugly) is the 1 u want 2 copie.
- copie the formated html in the right box
- now paste it wher u want r forms or mains (in mains u shouldnt post ur techs & coords)

http://crconv.vafan.se/ = 7/10 = itz safe,harder 2 use, bt u can cutomize ur CR's alot more, not my choice bt might b urs...

more CRC's coming and alot more stuff...

===U.V.'s Q&A===


=MOONS=

LimeEmil-on Fri Aug 21, 2009 1:09 am
HI, I have heard about moons, and seen some in the game, but how do I get one ?

Huslerz-
basicly u hav 2 lose a lot of ress tht will b in ur debris flied the more ress the bigger chance of the debris flield forming a moon (max20%) chance and the more ress will also mak the moon bigger bt its all chance and u wont hav 2 wory about moons 4 a while...
i dnt even hav 1 in uni43 yet even tho i could afford a moonshot,,, a moonshot is whn som1 helps attack you wif a specific no. of ships so the df(debris flield) will b a 20% moonchance...

Admin-
Nice explanation =]

gooddoc-
Even though there's a mathematical formula to getting a moon, it boils down to chance.
In ogame.us uni 1, I used 1667LF's to give me the maximum 20% moonchance, 8 times i tried plus 2 more at around 10% chance. Didn't have any luck.

The big advantage in a moon is that you can phalanx (spy) on other players planets, without them knowing or getting a message. You can thus know when a players fleet is returning & attack his planet 2 seconds after his fleet arrives, leaving him no chance to move his fleet or spend his res's.
A valuable part of the game later on.

Star Fighter-
By spying, he means you can see his fleet movements, not what is on his planet

LimeEmil-
ok, nice thanks for the answer

=COLONIZATION GUIDE=

mksaron on Thu Aug 20, 2009 2:01 am
A Major Twist in Gameplay Colonizing in redesign universes like Univ 44, AKA Andromeda; has been completely revamped and differs greatly from the original Colony operation. The first major change is that the nine planet cap has now been lifted. There is NO maximum number of planets that you can now colonize. Of course, there are counters to this lively fact:

[edit] The 'Catch' 1.A new research technology, Astrophysics, has been introduced, which allows you to both colonize & conduct expeditions. You must first research this technology before you are able to colonize any worlds at all. This creates an added component to the 'early-game race' where people strive to build cruisers, recyclers, colony ships (more difficult now). The square root of the level of astrophysics allows you X number of expedition slots & every other level (1,3,5,7) of astrophysics allows you an additional colony slot. Refer to the table in Astrophysics.
2.Also, once again, in reference to the table above, slots 1-3 & 13-15 are considered privileged until you gain the ability to colonize 4 additional planets.
3.In addition to these newfound constraints, colony sizes have been dramatically reduced. The maximum colony size is now 250, dropping down from ~320.
4.Finally, colony slot placement - size ratio has also been altered. Slot 4 will no longer produce the best chance for a large planet. Now the ratio spirals out from Slot 8, the 'best large field chance' slot and decreases evenly down to slot 1 & 15. This change was most likely intended to give a more even pro/con to the system planetary positions' field size, deut bonus, and sat bonus.

Star Fighter
I posted a reply to this in circs- copy it across if you want

Star Fighter-
Some information how much time is needed before you can recolonize a spot again:
it's a minimum if 24hours+time until next - daily once - server update

mksaron-
People often answer this question with the simple answer, "24 to 48 hours." We're here today to fully explain this and make sure that everyone understands.
To defend the above response: It IS between 24 and 48 hours, but it isn't an 'amount of time' sort of situation. What it really is? It's an 'it happens under these conditions and at this time' sort of situation.

Now, here's how it really works: a colony is abandoned and 'destroyed planet' appears at that location, and then, at 0110 server time, destroyed planets are checked for deletion. If a destroyed planet is over 24 hours old, it is deleted and if it is less than 24 hours old, it isn't deleted.

Now, an example: If a colony is abandoned at 0100 server time, at 0110 server time 24 hours and 10 minutes later, it is deleted... but if a colony is abandoned at 0120, is isn't deleted until 47 hours 50 minutes later at 0110 server time.

finishingmove-
u should read this
http://ogame.wikia.com/wiki/Colonizing_in_Redesign_Universes

Huslerz-
lol yea should read it the whole colonizing part of the game has changed alot more expensiv BUT thier no 9planet limit.. no planet limit at all lol this uni is goin 2 b interesting l8 on....

=RECYCLING=

Arnault- on Thu Aug 20, 2009 10:05 pm-
Question: when i send out a recycler, does it need a cargo ship also to store the stuff in? Or does the recycler have cargo holds of it's own?
(And why does the title of a topic have to be more than 10 letters?)

Star Fighter -
The Recycler has a cargo space of 20000 units, however, you have to remember that some of it is used to carry deut for the flight.

Sending large cargos with the recyclers will NOT add cargo space... only recyclers can take and store the debris field.

Moon - Debris field fleetsaves are one of the best methods to use btw (you send your entire fleet to the debris field)

Huslerz -
and u should alwayz cheack the df of the higher ranked players near you u might jst get in and collect a nice fee..
1 time in uni32 i was ranked top2000 and 2systems away their was a df of 5.6mill i could only hold 750k of ress bt i managed 2 send my 30recy's thier once, and whn they were half way thier again till som1 else took it...

goodoc-
It really depends now on what type of player you wish to be in the game.

If you are a raider, like me, then you should be looking at researching into a small cargo & espionage probe. This will give you the ships you need to start raiding. Once you can locate some good sources, (more so from Wednesday, when players go inactive) then you will obtain more resources raiding than with mining. Boy will you soon advance & build your fleet.

if you are more on the defensive side then from your position now you should build 1 metal, 1 crystal, 1 deut, etc.

Bear in mind that other players in our alliance will probably advise differently, there is no right or wrong way to advance. It is only you who knows what kind of way you wish to play.

Be advised though, make sure that you make your planets unprofitable when you go offline for a few hours. Keep building defences, when players start to probe you.
They are looking at raiding your planet, if you've got ships & lots of res's on your planet & they think you're offline, they'll raid you.
I play this way, raiding planets, it's very profitable. If you've nothing to go for, they'll leave you alone.
Also, when you've built your fleet you will need to know how to 'fleetsave'.
See the link's that have been posted for further info.
