    Ok, embassy's up. ID is 1840. User name is Iron_Weasel. My home world is at (4:-5:40). I'm sharing the system with a couple of other players (one of whom has claimed three worlds) and some Ratoidz. Please make me a WANG!

    University's next in the queue, as are infrastructure upgrades. Next major goal is shipyard.

    Got my first colony up, yay!

    Notices there's a couple of other players in my star system. Noticed one of them has this fleet around one of his planets:

    DefS 10
    Fighter 10
    Corv 1 32
    Sat 1
    DefSat2 6
    Chp 41
    MSat 156
    Frigate 3
    BST 22
    Spk 13

    now, I have to assume at any point he wants after he is able, he will be able to crush me. This worries me.

    If he's that far ahead of you in fleets, he probably won't be able to attack you. You can check his profile to see his noob protection level. It would probably say that you're newbie protected.

    Jesus. I am at level 5 on my space station. I just can't get enough resources to finish it off. It takes too long. You need a good space station for higher level weapons.

    Watch out Penny arcadians. I am joining a Goon Federation I think. I joined thanks to their involvement. They are pretty big with about 7 federations. It is best to tread lightly with them. They seem to be just going a fter whoever they want.

    EDIT: Oh wait! Level 5 is enough for all the good stuff. I just needed more research in orbital engineering.
    I wish there was a way to reduce the resource cost. It seems command center, automated factories, some tech reduce the time to build though (not enough to change a 20 hour build to be 15, but maybe 18).

    To be honest, most of us are so low level that they probably can't attack us.

    What's the refresh rate on gaining new minerals/energy/money? 15 minutes? Hourly?

    I do believe it's all or nothing.

    Even if you have something completed in the queue and you then click on the link to use your support points, one will be wasted on the completed item.

    I have colonies in -19:20, -22:14, and I'll soon have one in -19:16. -22:14 is interesting in that I am currently the only person to have a colony there, so if any of you occupy the remaining four planets it would be entirely our system. Only problem is that the only thing the entire system has going for it is minerals. The quantity of other resources is mediocre at best.

    Sending one to the -22:14 system right now. That big rocky planet is gonna be my bitch

    Edit: It should be there in a little over an hour. Here goes nothing!

    Edit edit: If you bring a space ship full of materials somewhere, when you tell it to go back, it will automatically offload its shit on the planet I think. Thats how it works for mine. I think it'd be fun to see a satellite fly by and just pour money into a planet's atmosphere.

    Okay, my first spaceport is done, and let me share a tip with you guys: If you plan on using neat C'thulu-esque names with apostrophes n' shit throughout 'em, DON'T. The dude running this game doesn't properly escape his javascript, and when you try to send resources to your other planets, it'll lose it's shit at you.

    In other news, it's time to figure out how to send resources!

    Satellite + engine (or two) + cargo container (or two) (or three)
    load it up with resources. send it to a planet. when you return to your planet, it should drop off the crap before it returns.

    I think the fanciest planet name i have is Nurgles FunHouse

    Well, you can use your spaceport to send things to your other planets, which is a bit easier, IMHO.

    EXCEPT.

    There's a limit on the cargo capacity, and I have no clue how to find out exactly what it is or how to increase it. More spaceports, I presume?

    Each spaceport level has 1600 cargo capacity.

    Each cargo hold has 400 cargo capacity.

    Also, i have temporarily resolved my energy crisis. I can transport 800 energy between two planets in thirty seconds. takes 15 seconds to get back and refill. so that's 800 energy every 45 seconds or so. not bad, until the other runs dry haha

    I only got my stuff up to 3 or 4 before I built an embassy and uni and started teching up. Now I'm starved for resources - oops!
