Woo! I play. Don't know how good I am compared to others. Had to basically pour all resources on my first planet into defenses to finally stop the attacks....still put like half there and slowly work up my resources. Got lvl 20 Metal, 18 everything else and 20 satellites. Got 3 planets, need more astrophysics to go more.

Things are going pretty well so far, haven't been attacked, got one colony in slot 14 for deuterium and metal/crystal when I run low, think I'm about to go for another colony farther up list.

I aimed for 8 colonies asap. It helped me a lot on the long run.

Thing is, I don't really have much in the way of fleet or defenses, so that's what I'm working on right now, what in the way of fleet/defenses do you think I should have around now?

An important thing you need to know about fleets and defenses is Rapid Fire. http://ogame.wikia.com/wiki/Rapid_Fire

My 48 cruisers did 540,000 damage total to like a defense with 100 Rocket Launchers. My Battlescruisers could only do 140,000. Why? Because BC doesn't have any rapid fire at rocket launchers, but do for other fleets.

I would compare yourself with other players. What ships and defense you're able to build at your rank, others should be close by.

I, however, do not build defenses, since there's no RF against anything. Fleets have RF against other fleets and defenses.

So if I build a small cargo ship do I need to send it with other ships to try and find some easy resources?
 
Send it with attack ships so that you can take more resources from the people you attack.

I want to try this game but... It's blank for me...

All I see is the big 'ogame' logo with the spaceships flying towards it, and the background of some sort of computer panel or something (that I guess should be filled with text, but it isnt!)
 
Is there a way to queue up actions? Like if I want my crystal mine to automatically start upgrading after my metal mine. Something you need to research maybe? It'd be dumb is there wasn't an option, I have the resources, I just can't sit in front of a computer all day spending them.

You have to pay for that feature though.

Ah, makes sense. I might consider it in the future if I stick with the game. Whenever they offer the option to pay by phone or sms I always seem to go for it. *cough* runescape *cough* tribal wars *cough*

However, you can obtain Dark Matter through expeditions.

Question!

If I make a small cargo ship and I want to find an inactive player with easy to get resources what do I need to do? I guess I'm saying, how do I find these type of people and how many guardian ships do I need?

First, get a few espionage ships so you'll be able to spy on other players to check and see their resources, fleets and defenses before you send an attack. Sometimes, your spy plans won't be able to report their fleets or defenses because the other player's espionage technololgy is too high. You'll need to send more ships.

For example.

Enemy: Level 4 espionage tech
You: Level 2 espionage tech

Subtract his tech level to yours and then square it. You'll need 4 espionage ships to report almost his entire planet.

Inactive players are given a symbol of "i" and "I" in galaxy. You're free to attack anyone you like, but you'll need at least one ship. So, if you found a game you can farm off of, and he has no defenses or fleets to stop you, you can mainly send just cargos and know they'll be safe.

To find other players, scan through your system in Galaxy.

To attack them,

1. Click Fleet and enter their coordinates there with the number of ships you want to send and then click continue. Then you'll be give nthe option to transport, attack, or ACS. You'll want attack.

2. Find then in Galaxy > hover your mouse over their planet icon and then select attack. Then it'll be similar to method #1.

In uni 35, you can attack one specific player 20 times a day due to 5x speed server.
