Hello how do I take over another planet?

For an active player after I destroyed everything do I send a colony ship there?
What if the other planet is that of an inactive palyer who has'nt build anything but 3-4 buildings how do I take over a planet like that?

you cannot take over other players planets. you can only send colony ships to blank slots in a galaxy to create colonies.

is it possible to completely destroy a player leaving the planet totaly empty and therefore free to colonise.

it isnt free to colonise. the destroyed planet comes back in a few days.

Then how can you take over 16 slots in one system? 0.o....

Attack the unlucky person in your system untill he or she gives up ZE or smthing? Seems a bit crude:/

Ive noticed the inactivity can go to 28 days....how long can a player be inactive and still be there 0.o...cause inactivity and acount deletion...dont seem to go hand in hand here in the short run..

Uh, duh. Thats how everyone I know rolls.

Or, just find an empty system and colonize like a pair of rabbits.

I absolutely love it when you folks put all your colonies in one place. I sincerely do. It makes for such easy work when I drop my roamer beside you. It's like free candy and I just plow through it.

So keep it up. You're doing great. For my empire.

Indeed. It is not advisable to put all your colonies in the same system/couple systems or even in the same galaxy. Not only could this make you a "farm", but it would also have a negative effect on your raiding span, now and later in the game. Some players tend to bunch up a few of their planets for easy development, i myself am a cluster player, i have three major planet clusters strategically placed in different galaxies and one "roamer" or mobile colony. Some other players tend to completely space out their planets and not have even one in very close proximity to another, while this may have a small negative effect on development early on in colonising it becomes very advantagous later on in the game. Each type of colonisation has it's pros and cons, just play at what best suits you.

A roamer (or mobile) is a colony used only as a forward base. Players don't build much on it except robot and nanite factories because they'll blow it up and move on once all of the area resources are consumed.
