All the posts talk about how VITAL Fleet Saving is.
Can someone please make a "FleetSaving for Dummies" post?
Allso include what should a new player have/build for defenses.
Man hope I didnt just make a post that screams "attack me Im a defenseless noob"... wait... I have notthing... so go right ahead.

Q:What is a fleet save? How can I fleet save?
A:
Slash wrote:Fleet saving is putting your resources on a fleet mission so they are relatively safe from attack until you can be online to use them.
There are several ways to perform a fleet save. You can send your resources towards another player's planet and then recall it before it gets there. You can send your resources to one of your colonies. Or, you can send your resources on a recycler mission to a debris field- effectively doubling your mission time.

Planet - DF - Harvest mission. Ok for a small fleet but others can see with a Phalanx.
Planet - Planet - Transport mission. Same as above, dont rely on it. Also, if you are carrying res it will be dumped on the planet while you are offline.
Planet - Planet - Deploy mission. Best option for those moonless players. Be online for when deploy lands, should someone try attack, you can recall.
Moon - Moon / Moon - DF - Safest fleetsave by far. Invisible to lanx.
You can also fleet save by attacking the moon of inactive players. It is also invisible to the lanx. Just make sure it has no defense that can dent your fleet.
You can change the speed of your fleet to adjust the time on when they will land.

It's the last screen you go through when you're sending a mission. I'm assuming you haven't, because it's kind of hard to miss.

I've never made a fleetsave so there are some doubts in my mind about it. How do you get access to your fleets when you go online and their are miles away and you call them back only to wait ~1h or more till they come back, that's 1 hour of wasted game play, not?

Well it's either wait for your fleet to come back, or wait for your fleet to rebuild because you didn't fleet save.
