I remember playing this for a short time 6-7 years ago, basically as an awesome way to take up my downtime during work. Forgot all about it until earlier this year. Noticed this reloaded server with increased rates and instantly thought this would be great!
I get that part of this game is raiding other players... I raided the two other planets in my system (both players were long gone but still regenerated resources)
Over the last couple months I have not been able to make any advances in resources/mines/tech/research to any of my planets (my goal was to colonize all 15 planets and make a Death Star for each one... which I wasn't even close to) But this happens every week...

Attack me, fine, but do you need to send such a ridiculous amount of ships? 15000 Destroyers, 13000+ Battle cruisers, and 46000 (+1?) Lunar Guardians...
If I thought I had a chance I would continue to play.
Re: What's the point...
#2Hi Swiss,
Please note that it is against forum rules to post the coordinates or tech levels of other players in the forums. I have edited these elements out of your post accordingly.
As far as your point about being attacked with a ridiculous number of ships... every server loses a balance of power and becomes like this eventually. X serves as a prime example of this phenomenon. Reloaded is slowly becoming like this too. However, please note that there are strategies for countering these sorts of attacks. I notice there is some debris even though your attacker lost nothing, leaving any sort of ships down that create a debris field of more than a few million can make you a target. Did you have more resources or fleet down when the attack was launched? If so, this will of course also have made you a target. Also, keep in mind it may be in your interest to request help from larger players who might be quite willing to help with ninjas and clever counter attacks depending on the situation.

#3I am with Pulsar on this matter. When you are careless enough to leave 4 rips sitting, someone is bound to take advantage of the debris field. I have seen your fleet down and leaving little resources helped your case but still, i could see why someone would come around. Do not think that your fleet or defenses will keep you alive in this game. As #1, i still fleet save and collect from my colonies regularly.
As for the overage in fleet sent, that is up to the attacker and requires no reasoning other than theirs as to why.
May i suggest un-checking the "include in scoreboard" option in general options. This feature shows who currently has the highest ranking stats and with fleet, they need to be down to view. Most use the board as a hunting tool and you could do without being on it. Please feel free to PM me in server for additional help with survival or details. I am happy to help those who are willing to learn.
