Oh shush, you know you would message me back if I sent you that picture.

Ask a friend. Social Engineering.

Forum posts history.

Player profile. Variations on points during score updates. Solar sats, some LCs, a few ships, and ships that were just built are usually the only fleet left when a player is offline. (Be wary of traps. )

Resources left on the planet.

Facebook and other networking sites.

If in chat, you can leave the main room and still PM anyone who is logged in on chat. Or just use a dummy account.

Colonise, probe, abandon.

"how to find out a player's online time?" is a completely different question right?

Another way to guess someone is online:

Raid counts.
If raid counts increase by a sigificant margin within a short period of time, this may indicate a player is online.

There is another one.
PMs in the forums.
A message you sent to a player will remain in your outbox until he checks his Private Messages.
Though most will receive an email notification when they receive a PM. Some take it further by receiving SMS alerts when they receive an email. Figure out how to take advantage of it.

Come on spy, you are killing me with anticipation, spell the beans already.

Satisfied Space-Rambo, you remind me of my english teacher, if you are in standard I would like to demonstrate my appreciation by sending you my 43 RIPs.

How to hide your fleet?

PS: there is a possibility of a great reward at the end of season.
QUIZ Leader Board

Easy question deems an easy answer: Keep it in the air during updates and fleetsave when you're offline. Don't forget to always use moons.

Also if you are a player in the standard universe, or another player is espionaging from a distant planet, dodging espionage fleets can also be a good method to hiding your fleet while you are online.

Another method of hiding your fleet is removing yourself from the scoreboard in the options.
