not far from getting planet sub zero, nearly at colony producing time

Cool. Take my Planet and i'll kill you though, Raiden!

Welcome to the Alliance, Quantum!

Thanx MOE!

I've only been playing since yesterday so I still have a long way to go before I can start wars and stuff

I'm at 8x89x14

14 planets? Bloody hell, you're in a nice system, Quantum!

Send out some Espionage probes and find out what classes they are as soon as you can.

scouted my part of universe and found 12 decent planets with bonuses with absolutly no competition in the surrounding area of raiden,ps in need of frubin and crystal for fusion planet upgrade

I decided to change my race and now I've been moved to a new system with only 9 planets and 2 other players. Now I'm at 10x4x1. The first system had 17 planets I think and around 5 other players.

I can't build any probes just yet I'm still concentrating on resources, from what I've read this will really help later on.

Is it possible to completely destroy another player? This system just isn't big enough for all of us

As far as I can tell....NO, you can't!

When you attack someone, you destroy their defenses, and pillage their resources IF you also sent a cargo ship. (Or at least a ship with some cargo capacity) Otherwise you'll get absolutely nothing from attacking another player - except some satisfaction if you win.

Unless they are defenses, you can't damage or destroy another players buildings.

Heeelllppp!!! I'm under attack in 3x158x4 by an idiot from 3x162x4 in 1:40 min with 2 fleets . Can anyone help ?


Edit:

Stumpy if you can help please do, I see you are near him.

post your battle report. I wont go into any battle without knowing the strength of the opponent.

get a screenshot (print/screen button), paste in MSPAINT, and upload to a website such as xs.to

I sent a probe in that sistem and I found 2 users
Puma
862.850 in 3x182x5

and

Parabola
968.010 in 3x182x4.

I will try to send the battle report to,

i'm way too far away to help, would take me about 20 hours proberly to move up a fleet to thier

Yes the only member close enough to help is Stumpy, only 2 sistems apart and I think he is also the most advance of all of us.

i in desperate need of iron anyone got any to spare, i have tons of frurozin to trade back, around 60000

It seems that Nemo won destroied the 2 fleets that attacked him (only 2 light ships ) and lost 2 light laser batteries in the second attack. So what do we do we attack him or we let nemo handle it on his own?

Damn and I already sent him a light ship to help aid his defense...

...

Have you got enough Iron now, Raiden? I know how horrible it is to have to get enough resources to build a Fusion Power Plant.

...

Terrab atacked me twice more lat night, bringing the grand total up to 43 attacks.

i'm allright at moment, but would never refuse some iron, i need all i can get to get to 3rd colony stage, this shipyard sucks iron up like no business, ps light ship at 104 att/ 34 def now

I have 10000 Frurozin at 3x115x4 thhat I want to trade for some iron or crystals or even for nothing if enyone really needs it. I have more of it but I don't have where to deposit yet and on this night I think I will exceed my depot capacity.

how do i scout the systems closest to me, i sent out a probe and it`s going to take like 4 hours to go were i sent it, 33,9 it was should`nt there be 3 digits for me to send probes to? and how do i get them to go to the closest planets?

Wow, look who we've caught in the game...

To explore a system (Ie, see who is there, NOT scan the Planets) you need to send an Intelligence Drone. To build an Intelligence drone, you need Ship Construction level 1, Ionization level 1, and Espionage level 1. Because the probe explores the system rather than a planet, it only needs system coordinates (YxYY)

To scan Planets - including those in your own system - you have to use an Espionage probe. To build an Espionage probe, you need an Espionage Station level 1, Ship Construction level 1, and Ionization level 1. Because the probe explores a planet rather than the whole system, it requires specific planetary coordinates. (YxYYxY)

To permanently observe another players planet, you need to send an Observation probe. To build an Observation probe, you need Ship Construction level 1, Ionization level 1, and Enhanced Espionage level 1*. Because the probe explores a planet rather than the whole system, it requires specific planetary coordinates. (YxYYxY)

*Enhanced Espionage requires Research Central level 5 and Espionage level 10.

If it's gonna take 4 hours to send a probe to a system, then chances are you AREN'T sending it to a system near you, Jig! It should only take 1-5 minutes for the probe to arrive if the system is near you.

I don't really understand the numbering system of the systems in X-wars, but if you want to explore near your system, keep the first number the same as your own system, then change the second number to one other than yours.

Eg. You're in system 3x24. To explore near your system, you should explore systems 3x23 and 3x25.

System 2x23 is NOT near to you, and will take a long time for your probe to arrive.

Why don't you join our alliance, Jig?

year gold is attainable in universe 2, you just have to know were to find it

A couple points of clarification:

Observer probes do in fact expire. They aren't permanent observational posts. They stick around for it looks to be about a week and a half to two weeks, but after that they're gone.

The coordinate system is made of three numbers, AxBxC. A tells what galaxy you are in, B tells what solar system within that galaxy you're in, and C tells what planet in that solar system you're looking at. Distance is measured in an expanding radius from your planet. Planets in your own solar system will be closer to you than those in a different system. Likewise, solar systems in your galaxy will be closer to you than those in other galaxies. Also, solar systems and galaxies closer in number to yours will be a shorter distance from you. Easiest way to explain what I mean is with an example.

You start off on planet 6 of system 10 in galaxy 2. Your home planet's coordinates would be 2x10x6. In terms of distance, you'll be able to explore system 2x9 (the coordinates for the neighboring solar system) much more cheaply than say 2x12. Still, you'll be able to explore system 2x30 cheaper than system 1x10. It's a very linear and rather unrealistic galactic overview, but from the standpoint of an independently made game it works.

gold is to be found on n class planets
@ moe i cannot join your allianc eas the cardassian union stands alone, however you may pay tribute to preservre your species.

gold can only be found in 1 galaxy in this entire universe and as so it is extremly crowded and hostile part of the universe

and what do i need to research for colony ships? or do i have to upgrade the shipyard?

Well I think you need first to research the ''Colonization Module'' but you need to have

Headquarter level 10
Construction Central level 15 ( in the Production panel from the Tech section)

Look in this section, I think there you will find some answers.

To build colony ships, you need to research Colony Administration - which requires a Research Central level 15.

You also need to be able to build medium ships, which requires Ship Factory level 8, and Ship Construction level 5.

The Kolonization Module requires Headquarter level 10 and Construction Central level 15.

The technologies and buildings needed to colonise other Planets are VERY expensive, so concentrate on building mines and resource depos!

you can have 2 cols without needing col admin tech, you just need that for your third col

Lol what Raiden didn't mention is that this involves 2 email accounts...

i read it in the forum, you only need col admin to increase account cols from 2, col module gives 2nd col, 3rd col need research into col admin

ps need alot of iron, can trade equal amount back in crystal,frubin and orizin

For an explanation of colonization, read my post here:
