Just started this game, how do I ally\find\interact with you guys?

you sort of can't ally people until they pop up in your neighbour list...

If Vellos helps me kill Oldry I'll split the two planets with him.

De Legro you have to send some big fleet over and support us.

Nathan you're trading much better on steel, keep throwing stuff at him until he realises cruisers suck.

I think if you send ships near them, you can ally with them.

If Vellos helps me kill Oldry I'll split the two planets with him.

I'm willing to split planets with you both too, but that will be much further in the future when I'm done with PeterKaan.

De Legro you have to send some big fleet over and support us.

He's helping me out with PeterKaan, but those fleets have been flying in for a while now. Whilst I can't speak for him, I'm sure De-Legro is tied up with Heirulf's posturing and conquering Adanedhel whilst he's away.

Nathan you're trading much better on steel, keep throwing stuff at him until he realises cruisers suck.

That's my every intention now. Throwing Subspacers at him until I run out of money (open trading really helps here) and then I'll start on big things like Battleships with some covering fire ships (Frigates/ Destroyers).

The first post in this thread has everyone's (well, mostly, I think it's a little out of date) name & co-ordinates. If you give me your co-ordinates (click on your planet, Info, Location) & your name I can probably tell you who you're near.

(1765.5,1817.1 ), Slapsticks.

Huntsmaster (Agiri, [1823.2,1868.5]) is probably the nearest person to you, but he's not easy to get to as he's on the other side of that fairly large empire to your south-east. There are a few other people close to him too, but I don't have routes to them on my map and I've forgotten who they are (oops), but he should be able to tell you :)

Your starting position isn't exactly the greatest one around. My advice for the long run is (1) to build a big fleet (or a few big fleets) and send them north to take over those scattered few empires. That would bring you quite close to me, Kai, De-Legro, Vellos and Tom. (2) If you don't fancy that (you'd have to get around a large empire) then your best bet is to ally with one of the bigger empires near you and take over a few of those single planets to your left. However, since 2 of those belong to fairly large people (which means they're after new players) you might be a little doomed.

(3) Sending an arc fleet up to somewhere near us would be a nice idea too, (1682.3,1696.4) looks like a nice place (quite a few planets around it) and it's close enough to the rest of us that we can help defend it for you. But new colonies start out fairly useless so you'd have to hope something interesting is happening whilst you wait for it to progress.

Silverfire, can you update the first post please? I'm pretty sure we've gained a few players since it was last updated :)

Ha... Haha... no... Very unlikely since he's rivalling for first place on a few ladders and I think he's in quite a big war at the moment, so he'll need every planet he can get his hands on.

EDIT: Ouch, PeterKaan decided to stock up his metal and build a big fleet to try and counter attack. I lost 21/33 SubSpacers, he lost 9/17 Cruisers. He's probably kicked me off now as my other fleets are a little further away. If he kicks me off and moves out, De-Legro might take the planet with his incoming fleet. If he stays there then he might take a while to shift.

Actually, when I messaged him, he was quite nice and agreed to my terms, which was basically I will only expand to the south and east, while he has the rest of the galaxy in which to play. I will stay neutral towards him, which was actually all he asked, the former were my terms. He is also currently neutral with sirgumby, another top player right next to me.

Nathan you're trading much better on steel, keep throwing stuff at him until he realises cruisers suck.

I'm busy fighting Tits, any fleet I send would take weeks to arrive anyway. Now back to trying to stop the 3 superbattleships from destroying all my fleets.

How do you kill superbattleships? Battleships? Or just ignore them since they can only kill one fleet at a time?

Since I'm being boxed in by all these big players, and drugsmrgarrison had started attacking me with 100 cruiser fleets, I've decided to restarted. Conveniently, I've spawned above the area of Klingzog and Masdus.

For equal cost you could try a battlecruiser with 4 cruisers.

Given that my position is so terribly terrible, would you recommend restarting and hoping for a better position?
