Well, first things first, did you upgrade the colonized planet? If you do, there is NO way (even at .000000000000000000000001% alliegence) that a planet can be a drain to you. If you do that, all planets should produce income, always. Also, every little bit helps, so if you have the time and resources, go get those extractors, but don't make them a priority. EDIT: Upgrade meaning the civilian infrastructure.
I love locking teams, it eliminates the need for diplomacy, which I was never a fan of. But, it can also provide a challange if you leave it on but ignore them.
I actually use one that's not the greatest, but can be deadly if you're quick about it. I use a crusader rush, if you will. Basic start, 200 crystal, cap ship (mothership, colonize point), vessles, colonize astriods, then hold out till I can tech to crusaders. Most people don't see them 30 minutes into the game, and they rip through anything the enemy throws at me until they tech to heavy cruisers as well, at which point my economeny and fleet should be well off enough from harrassment
I actually always start with the Mothership. The 20% cost reduction (and soon 40%) are IMMENSELY helpful at the start, to no end. The deduction it gives greatly outwieghs the need for firepower. I usually grab a carrier, then a battleship followed up by A rapture battlecruiser. Then I go with whatever is needed at most next.

[quote](bursts out laughing) lol to think there was a HUGE fight saying the siege frigates were to powerful.and the devs diluted them a bit now there are complaints that they are to weak it seems that every time the deves change something at players behest there is a anothere group advocating that the changes are no good and the opposite needs to happenit is true what they say there is just no winning in some cases lol [/quote] You're never gonna please anybody.

I know right. I'm checking everyday for the email on both here and my email account, and then checking this thread to make sure I didn't miss out >_> I'm scaring myself.
To add to this, I've done games where I just use Haylcon carriers as cap ships, and end up with like 10 of em because of thier usefullness. The Adept anima passive ability, coupled with Acension (the xp raising one. It's 4 am, I can't think of the name) and the 4 bomber squads per (which is what I choose) means like 2, possibly 1 pass from bombers to kill off a level 5 or 6 cap ship with ease, uber ease. Never, EVER, underestimate the Advent carrier.

Would that be possible? To have a backstory contest? Considering we don't have one (a backstory that is), and the other contests that IC has done, this could turn out to be a good one. Comments?
[quote]I tried to create a capital ship. I got the error message "No available capital crew".What does this mean. What do I have to do to fix the problem and create more capital ships.[/quote] In the fleet logistics sections, theres two kinds of fleet upgrades. The top one is capital ships, and generally costs more, but lets you build more ships. Your first few upgrades only give you one per upgrade, but later ones give you 3 per upgrade. The lower one is fleet cap, which is us
This seems to be a problem on your end. I never have that problem, even on hard mode. Infact, the comp never focus fires on me.
Ya know, an entire fleet made of hosts, plus 12 haylcon carriers and a colonizer ship for the sheild boost... I think that works out to about 300 bombers ;)
I must say, I also have that problem. But if you look at phase lines, you notice your team color creeping from where you last shot? That's a good thing, even though the effects might be small. It really isn't used to flip over planets, more for the 20% boost, which ROCKS in mass battles, to an extreme extent.
But could also mess it up. I don't always have the resources on hand when I need em, due to a possible emergency.
Nope, drone hosts only have one. Haylcon carriers can go up to 5, at top level, but drones get no more than one.
[quote]Great stuff! We're going to start collecting shipping info in the coming week or so and put them on the reserved list to get Sins shirts as they arrive. Keep them coming![/quote] Kick ass. If I'm gettin one, first day I get to school I'm wearring it. I'm so excited, which is odd, because I never get excited about clothes...
I don't mind it. A lot of players here come from RTS relms, starcraft and the like, and are used to having something to do constantly. So.
I'm talking strats where you just screw around, building whatever for shits and giggles. I personally love playing as Advent (as I normally do, unity for teh ween), building one colonizer (i can't spell it's name for my life) cap ship, max out my cap ships with Haylcon carriers from there (add in acendency) and a fleet made ENTIERLY of Drone hosts. I usually end up with well over 2000 bombers. Fun as hell.

I feel I'm missing something. Can you not get both Asecdancy and the Devliverance engine?
Problem with randoms is that they disrupt the gameplay. I don't wanna lose my entire attack fleet to some random energy storm.
Vasari experimental weapon. I forget what it is, and what it does :\
If you research something, scuttle a station, and then build it again, you can research the tech for free, but it takes up time, the same amount as when you first teched it.
Bounty. More likely than not the comp goes for bounty more often than you do. Yours probably comes from missions, if they don't have a specific section for that, or for bounty. If they do, I honestly don't know.
