You should have fleetsaved so your fleet was off the ground while you were away. A general rule for me is fleetsave every time your offline.

So why didn't you fleetsave before you went to work?

-Istalris-

I didnt know he was going to attack me... he sent his fleet out while i was working.

*sigh* that is the whole point of fleetsaving. It has to be a routine thing to work. Every day.

Jump gates are ridiculous in how long they take to build and much they cost.

I can never get that through people's heads They seem to get "fleet-save" mixed up with a "dodge" for some reason..

But the build times are 4x faster than the other games. At least, thats how I figured it. I think some buildings have entirely different build times...Not sure, though. The build times in Zorg are a godsend compared to other games.

Just a little tip, the long build/research times are a nice way to hide resources. When I was saving for my Nanite, I actually didn't have enough Cargoes to hold all the res, so I used the Armor Tech to hold res until I got back in the morning, and fleet-saved the rest of it. Everything has a bright-side to it. You've just got to look for it.

My mines are good at MY level, my mines are bad at your guys level.

Look at what Gummpy has done since his Empire got reset.

The key to Raiding and Fleeting is that you have to think not like a farmer, rotating the same crops, but like a scavenger who moves around to the most fertile area. Clusters of planets are great for mining and turtles, but your raiding opportunities will get scarce in a hurry.

As far as fleetsaving goes, that is not moving your fleet when someone attacks, but rather keeping it out of harm's way when you are away from the game. Sadbutrue has not had to hide his fleet for a long time, but when he was starting out, he would fleetsave all the time. Even when he was away from the game for 10 minutes.

People often think the game is unbalanced towards fleeting, but the majority of those who are major fleeters now got there by keeping their flleet safe as they built their empire and the fleets.

They say a word from the wise is sufficient. That word is Fleetsave.

pfft fleetsave....who needs it

You apparently

On the topic of urweird and his level 7 nanite. Why did you buy that. You are only ranked like 180, aren't there bigger and cheaper priorities?

If I remember correctly he said he had level 6. But that's still pretty expensive
