Wait a few days and De-Legro might be able to say "yes".

I think the only way to assault one is to have some padding on your fleet, so whatever your force is you have an equal or more amount of scouts. That way there is a chance that the scouts are hit instead of your fighting force.

Planetary defence is 20% per ship numbers regardless.

Yeah that was my understanding as well, oh well its not like I can't build more fleets at this stage.

Yep, but if you have padding then they may be destroyed instead of your actual fleet. Since Scouts are cheap and also offer 2 attack, they make pretty decent padding.

if you mean all the lines to my capital? that's 2 merchants in each fleet from each planet to the capital (and then they go wherever)... to give each planet 40 q income per turn... (burning 8 food per turn) just in case budget goes -ve

I mean the post that Shizzle made about different colored planets.

[fodder]

Ah, so that's what those weird lines are for 

and that's the bit that i should have quoted...

except i guess he meant connection lines

[Kai]

There's a single cruiser on this planet that my fleets cant seem to target. It's set to garrison. Do I need to choose a fleet attitude other than attack?

How big is your fleet? And what's in it? Could be that your fleet is just too small to take it out in 1 turn?

Just as an FYI, in the end I decided not to build those 17 arcs from my newly conquered planet. I've not scouted around yet so I'm not sure if there are any fleets waiting. Once I feel safe, I'm spending all the steel on that planet on arcs and colonising a single planet with them.

Also scrapping all my Merchantmen on my home planet and replacing them with one big fleet of Bulkfreighters. I've been watching Kai's fleets and they seem to bring back steel as much as Merchantmen do (which is all the time), so I may as well build 10 Bulkfrieghters into a single fleet and just ship steel all over the show

EDIT: I can suddenly request an alliance with 4 pages of people I previously couldn't, including: vistuvis, KingDante, squishymaster, Amaury, fodder, Cadfan & Morningstar. Oh well, requests sent

EDIT EDIT: Now I'm really confused. I refresh and I'm taken back to the main page, log in and you're all gone from my list. So if you all get an alliance request from someone, it was whatever bug happened to me

[Kai]

There are over 100 of my ships there plz Nathan it seems you always think im an infant retard.

Bulkfreighters don't ship steel. They are steel.

Yeah cool story bro. Don't want my help, don't ask for it.

[fodder]

lost another 300 people. built 2 arcs after that and lower taxes to match other colonies. going to see what happens...

[Nathan]

lost another 300 people.

Very odd that it's exactly 300 people a day. You could try asking on the Google Group? Or on the Facebook page?

[De-Legro]

Inside his sensor range? Or just the defence range?

[De-Legro]

Sensor range, so people were quite correct about that. Makes long range sensors even more useful
