What is ACS?
Whenever i choose the option of ACS Defend, it gives a reply "ACTION IMPOSSIBLE"
What shoul I do?
Also,
by this can we protect our satellites when someone attacks us?
Thanx alot!
Re: ACS
#2Acs defend is the method you use to have your fleet park at another's planet to help defend. The person being defended must have an ACS depo in order to do this. The person being defended does not have to be in your alliance. Select the ships you wish to send and enter coords as normal. Select ACS Defend as the mission and select the amount of time you wish to remain on station. A bug has recently been fixed, so despite what you read elsewhere on the forums, you will be able to recall your fleet at any point, even while it is on station defending. Be aware that even though you defend a planet, the fleet is also visible on the moon. You can not see when the person being defended is probed unless he is online and tells you, and if there is little defense on the moon, the attacker can target the moon to get your fleet alone without the help of the defender's fleet on the planet or the ground defenses on the planet. Same thing works in reverse if you defend the moon and the planet is poorly defended.
On the issue of defending solar sats... Since solar sats can not be fleet saved like regular fleet, any number over a thousand or so will become a target for an easy crystal source unless you have an appropriate amount of ground defences protecting them. If you are having problems with people crashing your sats, I recommend not rebuilding the sats until you have enough ground defenses to prevent them being crashed. Buildings such as solar plants and fusion reactors can not be destroyed. I would not rely on ACS defend to protect sats, as your alliance members can not be relied upon to be on 24/7 to come to the rescue, and they still may not be able to reach you in time to help if the attack comes from nearby.
The only exception to this is when researching graviton. Graviton tech requires 300k energy production, and the only way to reach this is to do it with solar sats. If you are trying to do this, I recommend you wait until you gather the resources to build all the needed sats at once, and wait until your shipyard and nannites are built up so that you can build them all within a time frame of a few hours or less. The research is completed immediately, so once you get graviton, have someone crash the sats for you so you can recycle all that crystal.
