I read a lot about Fodder. What is it how do I get it.

Thanks so much,

Not sure the exact definition but in this context basically it means expendable/cheap, defences/ships.
Used in small numbers they wont accomplish much, but lots of them should be quite effective, for example Rocket Launchers & Light Lasers.

Slash gives a good example of an effective defense in this post:

thanks
so such build defences?

Sorry raineyday I dont quite understand the question.

If you mean should you build defenses? Then yes definetely but I think it depends what else you have built already.
To be honest im not exactly and experienced player Maybe someone else can give you some better advice

It isnt too important to build up defenses unless you are rich enough to get an effective one. At this point its better to fleet save. However, try and make sure you do have a small (even a few rocket launchers) defense per planet (or ships). If you dont have anything protecting it you will have lone cargo ships just taking whatever they want from your resource pool.
