I have had similar issues with metal and crystal. But my issue is random. Sometimes its one thing, sometimes its another...some games its fine some games its not. Perhaps I need to patch it I dont believe I have done that yet. Thanks for the advice ppl who replied to this thread and to the person who posted it: I the patch fixes the issues ur having.
I have had no experience playing online yet since I am just getting the hang of the game. I usually try to build a cap ship ASAP and some basic frigates to go with it. I also spend resources fortifying my home planet (guns and fighters). After that I focus on reaserch a bit (I always make sure to unlock probe for the scounts before even bothering to make any). Then I get the planets close to me for their resources. But maybe its different online.
I use fighters and bombers on EVERY one of my planets. Then I put them all close to the planet and add a few gun things to protect them and the enemy almost NEVER gets past. I love them!
I use the hanger defense platforms too. When I find myself at a crossroad planet (where it connects to multiple phase lines and is the end of my current empire) and I max the tactical out with hangers, nothing less than a fleet can get past planets like that. I've found that it can be a big expense, but as soon as I fortify a planet like that I never see an enemy anywhere past it.
I got space ponys once and I saw no improvement in anything. I think its just a joke within the game. It adds character, I enjoy games when they have random stuff in them
I figured it out. Once you colonize the planet you can choose the asteroid in the 'tree' thing on the left side and theres an option to put an extractor on it.
When you get to a planet or asteroid, how do you add crystal and metal mines? The building thingys wont jump to the other planet, what do I do?
