Title: Online space game.
Post by: BlueJ1 on August 25, 2005, 02:28:31 PM: Alright, I never liked space games or online games what so ever. Games like that zombie game where you get limited amounts of turns in a space of time. But this game has me addicted. You basically obtain a planet and build it up to invade others. It is a very complex game and does not rely on turns. I suggest yall try it out.

Post by: BlueJ1 on August 26, 2005, 04:25:46 PM: Tip, build your indusrty up to atleast level 10 before going into researching other things or building nice purty things. I made the mistake of building it up some then spending everything on ships and research that really dosnt matter. Priorities should be metal, crystal, duet. mines, solar plants and robotic factories. And dont bother with fusion plants for a long while.

Yea, the site is chocked full of ads.

I got 3 pretty strong alliances and players in my system. There's also 3 that havn't logged in in 2 weeks or more :D

Post by: BlueJ1 on August 27, 2005, 01:04:33 PM: Perfect. I have two planets in my system that no one uses anymore, so I simply send my fleet in once in the morning and nce in the afternoon to take the resources. They call this farming . :aok

Make sure yall in Universe 7 search under alliance tags for AH2, then send Bodhi a application.

Post by: StarOfAfrica2 on August 27, 2005, 01:35:36 PM: BlueJ, do you have any alliances going in your Universe 2 setup? I picked that one first, now I'm worried about raiders. I've been putting everything back into building up resources first, before working on ships or tech. I should be ready tomorrow to start my first shipyard.

You need any resources ? Give me your coordinates and Il send you a house warming gift.

Post by: StarOfAfrica2 on August 27, 2005, 01:45:55 PM: I just started reading the forums there, and these people have it down to within a matter of hours of how quickly they can get a planet up and start raiding. Its like they have it down to a science which planets to raid and what ships they need for a bare minimum of raiding capability. I dont have any defenses yet (although I keep reinvesting my resources so there's not much to steal unless you hit me while I'm asleep). I'll be sending in an application for that alliance.

Post by: BlueJ1 on August 27, 2005, 03:02:48 PM: Bodhi, as per request.

FOr the most part we all are safe because the creators put in a newbie protection, which only allows planets with a few more points then you to attack, so dont worry about an armada attacking you. Also, since yall are in a alliance I doubt we will be raided, only chance of mass attacks on your planet is if they declare war on us on their bbs. So as long as Furball can control himself and not attack planets that a alliance we are safe.

:D

I'm gonna try and get my metal up to about 9 before the end of the night. It just depends on how much more resouces it takes.
Tomorrow I'm upgrading robotic and building a ship yard.

what ships do you have to use to do "raids" and does it mean you declare war on a planet (I'm talking about one in my system that has been AFK for a month and is NOT in an alliance)

solar 7( upgrading to 8 now 30 minutes to go)

metal 93 and going up faster than I can refresh

301 crystal

220 deut

(just dropped 1300 metal and 500 crystal on level 8 solar, going for robotics 1 next)

and AFAIK all you need to raid the afk planet is a cargo ship and fighter escort, just incase...you don't know what defenses he has

here's a good write up.

Quote

Ok, here is my thinking. A small cargo *can* net U 5k resources every run. I dont think there is an early game mine to match that therefore this is your first target. The techs and building required cost a total of 3200/2160/3300 so your aim is 3.3k deut. The rest will come easy. Here is my recommended build order:

met 1,2,3,4
crys 1
met 5
crys 2,3
met 6
deut 1,2,3

Sometime U will have to adjust it slightly depending on when U are out/sleeping/whatever, as 1 resource is going to buildup more than another. After this, build up deut and crystal so U have mines 6/6/5 minimum. Just build metal and crystal whilst U wait for the deut to reach 3.3k. Your mines should be no higher than 8/7/6 if U want to be amongst the 1st to have a cargo. When deut starts approaching the 3.3k, start working on the techs and building required so U can do that last little thing straight away once total deut is 3.3k. U also want to have the 2k/2k ready for when the last upgrade is done.

Thats your cargo! The next pit is where people often go wrong. When U blind raid, dont just go to galaxy and find the nearest person! U shuld go to stats and look at the lowest score U can possible attack [your score/5, rounded up]. Once U find it, go up the list hitting the msg button and checking their coords. Repeat until U find someone nearby, and check their galaxy screen. If there is activity, find a different target. If U are home after the launch, keep an eye on galaxy and if U see activity, pull back your cargo, or it will probably die. The really patient ones amongst U may want to also check research score, as research lab needs deut, which makes shipyard + ML more likely. Check fleet stats for every attack to be sure they have no fleet.

Now U just raid like mad! My advice is to get computer tech 2 and 3 small cargos, all for blind raiding using that^^ strategy. If U doubt it, me and other people I have told about it have NEVER lost a single cargo like this, and ive done over 20 blind raids from this strategy.

I would also say, 'forget about your met and crys mines'. That stuff is easy to raid, spend your res on deut mines!

Your next aim is probes so U can make better raiding. I think U should have these at about 60 points, if not sooner.

Now U have your probes, U willwant more cargos to make the most of the targets. In my experience, 15 cargos, with computer tech 3 is really nice. I wouldnt build any LF until U got your 15 cargos. To mjake the most of your slots, U should rotate 2 waves of 2 raids. Ie, time the 1st 2 to return just before the other 2 hit, so that U can safety probe, but still use 4 raids at a time

At this stage I would build about 5 LF to battle those 1 ML people.

New target is HF. Get those asap, and build as many as U need to raid effectively, but no more.

New aim is LC and recyclers. For this, get your mines 10/10/10, at least. I would look to get deut more like 12 or 13.

If U are having a hard time filling those 15 small cargos, U should get an extra level of computer tech before combustion engines.

After this, im not entirely sure what to do. I usually just buildup as many HF and LC as I need to raid effectively, and have 2/3 recyclers constantly out collecting DF of 10k+. The main trouble has been that by this point almost everyone has the noob protection, and the people that dont are online more than me! This makes the recycs really good, but maybe with more experienced players, raiding will still be nice.

Now get your colony ships out and build the crystal mines higher than the metal. I would have deut 13 on both your main, and 1st colony. This will help U get more colonies quicker. IMO, U should go for battleships when your score is coming on 3k, when U should have something like 3-5 colonies.

The rest is just crashing and farming.

HF, and I hope this will help.

Oh, btw, U may notice I missed out cruisers. This is just my personal preference and I think it makes little difference except your deut comes harder if U get them. If U dont, U will need to fleetsave.

PS I'm 1:407:7

Send in a light fighter and a small cargo. If the guy has no defenses you wont have any problems. If he does have some, good chance your gona lose your mini fleet. And it pretty much is declaring war on him, but since hes not in a alliance you dont have to worry about doing the whole politics thing.

Title: Online space game.
Post by: BlueJ1 on August 27, 2005, 08:13:37 PM: In the beginning solar satellites just take up space. They cost 2,000 crystals and 500 Deut. And each one provides 50 energy units. After awhile they are better because they are cheaper. But since it costs alot to research computer tech. and expand the available space for more ships, they arnt to great in the beginning.

not fussed about build time atm as it is my resources limiting the amount i can build, not the time it takes. i wasted a load of it on researching energy sources which was a waste of time atm.

you have the mines, but you have no power to power them!!

i suggest you cut right back on the duet production, maximise the crystal and metal outputs in order to get enough to upgrade your power big time.

to put it into perspective i am : -

Level 7 Metal
Level 7 Crystal
Level 4 Deut
Level 8 Solar

and i am still running at an energy loss and am unable to get max production. Level 9 solar upgrade costs Metal:1.922 Crystal:768 so you better start saving ;)

Post by: StarOfAfrica2 on August 28, 2005, 08:12:56 PM: I'm not quite as high on my mining, but I've been branching out in order to defend myself a bit. I just built my first fighter, I have sheilds and rocket launchers, and next I'll build a small cargo ship for raiding. Then I'll finish building my mines up, and then I'll expand research and technology. Then bigger ships. I'm interested in the idea of using recycler ships to scavenge materials from destroyed ships after a battle? How can I tell who is at war? I know I need to spend some on espionage, and I am closing in on building my first fusion plant.

I have to build my deut. mines up one more, and research one more level of energy before I can build the fusion plant. I also need to add another level of solar plants in order to keep my mining up until the fusion reactor goes online.

Temps are kinda cold, -22c to 18c.

Oh, and I joined the alliance in Uni 2, thanks for puttin me on to them BlueJ. Next thing I need to know is how War works. I mean, if I beat some other planet down into the dust they came from, do I get to keep it? Or do I just raid it and leave it a lifeless ball of dirt and rock? I'd kinda like to expand and take over another planet eventually, maybe share the resources if I can find one thats better at other things than my world is. Metal seems to be my strong suit, and good thing since I need so much of it.

Post by: Furball on August 29, 2005, 09:36:58 AM: you know.. maybe we should figure out now that a few of us are getting close to being able to build space ships, that some of us should have different roles in the alliance to work together to all get strong.

maybe some concentrate on building military vessels, others concentrate on expanding and sharing resources - the military guys offer protection?

would take some sorting out but what do you think?

or should we all just advance our own way?

The AH2 alliance is growing fast and that's going to put a lot of eyes on us so we need to have some way of dealing with it. Having a react team would help I think. Have the "react" build a defense force while the rest colonize and support the react with resources until we've got enough colonizers ready to take over for the guys on react so they can build up.

just to let everyone know we are pretty safe for right now. I don't know what the formula is but we cannot be attacked by a stronger alliance until we are strong ourselves. It's called "newbie protection" It was implemented in the game for just this reason....people just starting out cannot get overrun too quickly.

Even lesser players CAN attack but can only do it once otherwise it's considered bashing. If another alliance wants to go to war with us they have to declare it in the forums 12 hours prior to any action.

I think the Idea is good though but for right now EVERYONE's priorities should be resources.

EDIT:

Post by: Gunslinger on August 29, 2005, 10:24:25 AM: Here is the formula for attacking

your score/5, rounded up = the lowest number you can attack. Most of us are below 20 wich means that only somone with 100 points or less can attack you

IE

5 pointers can only get attacked by 25 pointers and less.

FYI I should be at 25 by the end of the day and am no were near ready to start attacking people....blind raiding on some guy who's been AFK for a month...yes....attacking no!

BlueJ, can the satellites beam energy to other planets? Maybe I could beam some of mine to you, I'm doing OK on energy production. May hold off on fusion reactor if it eats deuterium.

How does the espionage thing work? I'm looking at building a spy probe, but not real sure what gains I'd get for the expense.

I'm broke right now, and either someone has been in here messing with my stuff or I didnt have as much built up as I thought. I could have sworn my reasearch labs were at level 4, but it says level 3 now. That means I have 2 levels to go before I can go fusion anyway. And that means I cant invest in sheild technology either. I swear I was able to do the research the other day, just hadnt invested in it yet. Dangit. Is there someway someone could be sabotaging me?

each lvl takes up another field on the planet, build too many and you won't have room to build other stuff. (guessing this is right) every lvl I build up another field is used in my total of 163 fields.

I understand that. Im just looking at it this way. I will be building up to those levels anyhow. So why not build them early. I will be taking up 60 fields if I have all 3 at 20. This seems as tho it would leave me with pleanty of room for other stuffs. Just I want to concentrate on getting my income very high. My theory is that I will be able to out build everyone else in technology. I will be producing at a very high rate much sooner than anyone else. of course this is only if my planet doesnt get decimated by a raiding force.

Maybe my plan wont work but I want to give it a shot, the payoff level for level 20 per hour are:

4036 Metal
2690 Crystal
1086 Deut @ level 17, only at 5 right now
2690 solar output

Well after looking at those numbers I can see that I will require an increase in solar output above the others by a few levels, maybe 18 on mining and 20 on solar. This plan will also decrease transport times for gathering materials.

Again not sure if it will work, but to me its worth a shot. Besides if I get in trouble I will have all you guys to protect me...:eek:

Post by: pugg666 on August 29, 2005, 05:34:25 PM: ya Bohdi, from what I've gathered, you'll need some defence though as if the planet has even a single solar satalite the battle will be considered a draw and your transport will be sent home without the resources
seems to be how the game calculates a win, neither a transport nor a solar sat has any weapons so the battle is a draw

Post by: pugg666 on August 29, 2005, 05:46:13 PM: working on assumption here, if the planet has been afk for 2 weeks, I'm pretty sure it's defenses have been elliminated and that others are already farming it, so I think you should be pretty safe, but you're returns might be lower than expected until you figure out the farming cycle, then you'll be able to time your trips to the planet to when it will have the most resources avaliable

Post by: Gunslinger on August 29, 2005, 06:15:21 PM: Before you guys start raiding read this:

Quote
Thats your cargo! The next pit is where people often go wrong. When U blind raid, dont just go to galaxy and find the nearest person! U shuld go to stats and look at the lowest score U can possible attack [your score/5, rounded up]. Once U find it, go up the list hitting the msg button and checking their coords. Repeat until U find someone nearby, and check their galaxy screen. If there is activity, find a different targetif U are home after the launch, keep an eye on galaxy and if U see activity, pull back your cargo, or it will probably die. The really patient ones amongst U may want to also check research score, as research lab needs deut, which makes shipyard + ML more likely. Check fleet stats for every attack to be sure they have no fleet.

Now U just raid like mad! My advice is to get computer tech 2 and 3 small cargos, all for blind raiding using that^^ strategy. If U doubt it, me and other people I have told about it have NEVER lost a single cargo like this, and ive done over 20 blind raids from this strategy.

I would also say, 'forget about your met and crys mines'. That stuff is easy to raid, spend your res on deut mines!

Your next aim is probes so U can make better raiding. I think U should have these at about 60 points, if not sooner.

Now U have your probes, U willwant more cargos to make the most of the targets. In my experience, 15 cargos, with computer tech 3 is really nice. I wouldnt build any LF until U got your 15 cargos. To mjake the most of your slots, U should rotate 2 waves of 2 raids. Ie, time the 1st 2 to return just before the other 2 hit, so that U can safety probe, but still use 4 raids at a time

At this stage I would build about 5 LF to battle those 1 ML people

Post by: kevykev56 on August 30, 2005, 12:32:52 AM: OK my plan is running smooth, Production rates per hour (ph) as follows:

10 Metal @ 718ph 260pwr req
9 Crystal @ 424ph 213pwr req
5 Deut @ 101ph 162pwr req
11 Solar @ 518ph

Total power requrement is @ 635 and I have 2 Satellites to augment the rest for now.

This will be my stopping point at which time I will start ship building.

12 Metal @ 1129ph 377pwr req
14 Crystal @ 1063ph 532pwr req
10 Deut @ 327ph 519pwr req
16 Solar @ 1470ph

Total Power requirement will be @ 1428

After looking at power and cost requirements level 20 before ship building would be out of the question. I need to get defenses built up also. I am thinking I will have my mining goal completed late wendesday with possibly my first ship built later that night or early thursday.

My other stats are currently:

1 Energy
1 Combustion
1 Research
2 Robotic
1 Shipyard

I am tied with Bodhi for points in second place so I must be doing something right, although I am sure he will jump ahead after his succesful raid. WTG Bodhi!

Scanning the galaxy around me I'm surrounded by people in some pretty hefty alliances and all of them except for one or two are rated as "strong" players. I need defenses. I only have one fighter, and one missile launcher. I'm hoping by the end of tomorrow to have shields in place and start looking toward another fighter, and then maybe an anti-ballistic missile. If my resources are constantly kept low by construction, and I make myself a tough enough nut, no one will want to bother cracking my shell. Then I can make a couple of small cargo ships for some raids.

Post by: Gunslinger on August 30, 2005, 08:13:51 AM: Second raid a success. I now have two ships and after bodhi got raided I'm building 2 missle launchers.

I set the second one to go too slow. I tried to time it so It was back when I woke up in the morning but missed the mark by an hour.

Should we be worried about "fleet saving" at this point in the game?

I have reconned local space and spent some Deuterium doing it so I need to regenerate that stockpile to build my reserach lab. According to my son (thanks for getting him in also) he is sitting in the same situation as me. Just need some Deut to get things going down the right path.

In the system my planet is located there are a few inactives that have been that way for a while now. I can't run espionage into their space because I haven't built my ships yet but its coming soon.

SOA,

They can not attack you nor raid you especially if you are fairly new. I was setting up raids this morning, and was unable to raid some planets owing to the fact that they were too far below my level, and I am only a 66. So keep that in mind, but do not neglect your defense, just don't get all caught up in building up until you atleast have the resources to expand out.

Title: Bodhi
Post by: g00b on August 30, 2005, 02:32:50 PM: Noob question

"Thats your cargo! The next pit is where people often go wrong. When U blind raid, dont just go to galaxy and find the nearest person! U shuld go to stats and look at the lowest score U can possible attack [your score/5, rounded up]. Once U find it, go up the list hitting the msg button and checking their coords. Repeat until U find someone nearby, and check their galaxy screen. If there is activity, find a different target. If U are home after the launch, keep an eye on galaxy and if U see activity, pull back your cargo, or it will probably die. The really patient ones amongst U may want to also check research score, as research lab needs deut, which makes shipyard + ML more likely. Check fleet stats for every attack to be sure they have no fleet."

OK I get this in theory, I'm missing the mechanics of it though...

Post by: Maverick on August 30, 2005, 04:47:53 PM: Noob question here.

Do you have to try and manage your energy level to maintain full output from yout mines? Example, following the constructions guide I have seen there is no mention of power stations being built, just the mines. I started to follow it but found I was way into the red on energy. Does that inhibit production in metal or crystal?

I also saw a page where you can set production levels from 0 to 100. How does that work? Do you have to add up to no more than 100 total of all segments combined or are these categories all seperate?

That was where I found it but aI didn't see that moving the marker up to 100% made the production go up. I set them as high as possible but no changes. I tried reducing crystal a bit to see if it helped metal as I need metal more than crystal right now. I did build another power plant and that changed to a green number but no increase in metal. I R confoosed.

If not it will be red,you will need to upgrade your solar plant. Do this anytime you build something new.

Post by: pugg666 on August 30, 2005, 05:05:24 PM: Mav, you can run everything at 100% if you have enough energy, if you have an energy short fall try lowering production in less essential materials by 10% until you get energy in the green again
at this stage metal is your focus

start like this

solar 1
metal 1 then 2
solar 2
metal 3, then crystal 1
go on like that for a bit then gradually start adding facilities, robotics 1 should be you first, decreases build times

Post by: detch01 on August 30, 2005, 05:05:49 PM: g00b - absolutely. You need it to build a shipyard. But, all it will do until you're ready to build a shipyard is decrease the build times of other buildings and then not enough to make it worthwhile. Build up your resource mining first.

Something like 5-10% of your production--it would kickstart a lot of us just starting out and we can conquer more quickly.

Less clutter on here and easier to respond.

Post by: pugg666 on August 30, 2005, 05:42:19 PM: Mustaine it takes time, it's not a game were you can be constantly doing things, for example, one of my raiders just returned with 1100 metal and almost 600 crystals, that raid toke 2 and a half hours (that was a VERY low return on the time it took, in the same time my mines produced 1200 metal and 800 crystals) I have 16K invested in ships and they have yet to have payed for themselves.

you play in bursts basically, every few hours to let resources build up , just checking in every so often to see what's up and to check messages (yes you get a rank soon and will be able to make and read circular alliance messages)

is bodhi atround to set it so i can reply to the circular messages, or is it a "wait a day" thing? if so no biggie, just curious.

there is like WAY tons of info out there, reading most of it, and just biding my time till i can kill everyone :D

it's going to be days before i can build a robot factory, considering i need a duetwhatever thingy to get 200 of it, and it only makes 12 at level 1. add in the need for metal to make it, and the metal to make the solar plant to power it.

i think by friday i might have a robot factory. some time next week i can start making ships.

you think so?

seems a bit early, considering i need tons of metal, and it is only making 175... well maybe you are right LOL, thats 4200 per day. i was thinking 175 per day :huh (though it will still take a day minium AFTER i build the duetthingy to get the 200 needed for the robot factory)

Post by: Gunslinger on August 30, 2005, 06:07:51 PM: HINT/TIP:

Once you get your metal past 6 you can hold off building it up more for a while. Consentrate on deut. once you start raiding you make met/crys up in droves. Also, you don't waist your energy to support it.

EDIT:

In addition, once you start raiding and building up your res big time start spending it. Build up deffenses do research what ever. Res just sitting around is a target for raiders.

Post by: nirvana on August 30, 2005, 06:16:02 PM: Left the game alone for 10-4:30 and had built up a little over 1000 metal on level 2 mine and 700 on crystal level 2. Deuterium just recently peaked over 200 so I went for the robotics factory, after I got deuterium level 2. When is this horde fest going to take place? :D
Title: Online space game.
Post by: XrightyX on August 30, 2005, 06:19:24 PM: Does building a robot facility allow for a decrease in materials for constructing/upgrading new facilities?

"Every level of upgrade to the robotic facility increases the efficiency and the number of robotic units that aid construction."

Otherwise, if it just decreases the build time, I'll hold off on building it.

Post by: nirvana on August 30, 2005, 06:23:47 PM: I'm building it just so I can get to level 2 as soon as possible and start my shipyard, I like forcing the point. I'm also short on metal and deuterium, usually takes the most for building stuff, oh well.

yup goin past 6 just means you have to build more power to run them and is a waist (for now)

I got 4 raids under my belt now each netted me 2K plus (EACH) of Met and crys and 1k of deut. That PLUS what I've produced I've spent over 10K of metal today.

Got 3 missle launchers now (just incase) and I got a bunch of tech researched as well.

SERIOUSLY. Don't build your mines past 6. Get there then start on what you need for a shipyard.

here's another tip:

When looking through the Galaxy link in order to save some Deut, use the "notes" link in the menu (or a pen and paper) to write down prime targets. That way you don't waist Deut looking them back up to confirm there location. Every system you look at costs you 10 deut.

your NUMBER ONE priority should be small cargo ship. You will net ALOT more from raiding than mining. Your mines are built up way more then mine but I'm getting more per raid than you are in almost 10 hours.

1. Cargo ships
2. Raids
3. Espionage tech (to help with raids)
4. Research for engines and computer tech

That's a few days work right there.

Keep in mind some minimal defenses.... I was raiding like mad, and got raided myself... thankfully I spend it as fast as I get it, so he got little. I have since repaid the raid 3 fold, plus I leave a light figter in orbit, with 2 missile defense, and a small laser. I think he will knock it off from now on.

Espionage research. I posted the requirments on the previous page...or click the technology link and looke up espion. probes.

You should be close to these after a day or two or raiding.

No worries on the timing buddy. I know you have other things that are far more pressing than this little game.

I was just letting some of the guys know that I couldn't ask questions through the game yet in hopes they would continue to spread the knowledge here. :)

It's been a busy day and I'm up to metal 5, solar 4 and crystal 2. More tomorrow!!!

only the energy levels to the right should be in red.

no matter what your stuff will mine if you don't have enough power. You can adjust what manufactures more by adjusting the percentage on the right.

Allways hit calculate.

If they are all the way on the right they should be red. It's normal. at the top of the screen your energy should look something like this. 33/518 If you see a minus IE -3/518 that means you are not producing enough energy. Dont panic your mines will still mine at what ever energy they have available.

This is what mine looks like in the far right column of the resources link:

We should all agree, that if one of our planets are under attack, we can send transports with our resources to the nearest ally who is space capable.

Immediately after the attack, the ally has to send all resources back to their origin.

Whatcha think?

I've got 4 missle launchers now, I've read a good article about building a deffense.

Quote

Building Defenses
There is a fair bit of debate over whether you should build defense or fleet and in what combo but if you are going to build a defense then this is what I have done.

Laser/Energy Weapons
Ignore missile launchers – cruisers get rapid fire to early and you need the metal to grow mines.
Small Lasers become your cannon fodder (some ships get RF but they wont appear to early so it gives you a bit of time to get started)
Build 1 Heavy Laser per 4 light lasers. (Only bombers and death stars get RF so they become your anti RF midgame).
Build 1 ion cannon per 12 light lasers. (ion cannons have high shields which helps everything else survive)
Build 1 Gauss Cannon per 30 small lasers (first big gun and useful vs cruisers and maybe low numbers of battleships, but will struggle vs destroyers)
Build 1 Plasma Cannon per 100 small lasers (This is the weapon your going to rely on to fend off those war attacks where someone just wants to bash you rather than steal some cheap resources)
Shields
Small shield after 20 Light lasers
Large Shield after 100 small lasers
Overview
So by the time you hit 100 small lasers, you have:

Small Shield
Large Shield
25 Heavy Lasers
8 or 9 Ion Cannons
3 or 4 Gauss Cannons
1 Plasma Cannon
At this point, the odds of someone hitting the plasma cannon is 1:136 but it will be dishing out fatal damage steadily.

From what I can read no weapon will survive on its own in all situations. You need enough small stuff to make it unlikely that they will hit you big guns. Enough big guns to actually destroy their ships (rather than scratching all of them a little, but destroying none). Enough shields to prevent their damage from destroying you defenses to quickly. The combination will be different for everyone and will be affected by what you are facing.

Missile Silos
Build them as well – when you consider interplanetary missiles a threat.

The whole point of a defense is to make it unprofitable for someone to attack. Low resources at home and enough defense to deter the attack. If you ever have to use it its probably not big enough. Silos 2 will give you 10 anti-ballistic missiles. I would think this is plenty for most of the game (except maybe later in a war. Anti-Ballistic Missiles are cheaper to build than Interplanetary ones.

Misc.
A defense is a money sink. You need to keep adding to it as you produce more, but should never really need to use it. Its the attacks that look at you, say “to big/not worth it” and go elsewhere that you are really trying to catch.

Another suggestion: If your going to use defenses then keep your resources low. Ship them away or spend them. It doesn’t really matter but dont leave large numbers lying around. It will just draw an attack that you cant defend against, and you will end up losing your defenses and your resources.

This does not take into account using fleets as defense. That is another topic for another day.

TIP: Research enough computer tech. to beable to have 3 or more fleets. have each fleet consist of about 2 cargos and a few light fighters.

I have no one I can find nearby with an Inactive status, so I had to take a chance. 5 hour trip, I just have to pray the guy doesnt have much in the way of defenses. He's the only one I could find thats NOT in an alliance, and is rated as a weak player.

i made the mistake of delaying before trying to build transports. in my uni 8 account i did it as soon as possible and have reaped the benefits. if i was you i would look at the tech tree and see what you need to get a small transporter
