How do you take control of an unowned sector, anyhow?
Put three planets with bases in it.

Okay, time to start saving up for bases.
So that Suchii can find them and blow them up. 
How come no one wants me in their alliance?

You took mine, I took it back - so back off bish.. they're MINE. ALL MINE.
Then again nothing's stopping you from swooping in and taking em back.. my lowly tech level 6 ship and piddly planets probably won't last long

Yes, because I'm leaving it as it is Everyone knows by now there's a tasty planet in sector 129...
Fuggit.. I'll just find myself a nice remote sector and gentorp the living shit out of it.
Just too bad I need mucho creditos and more damn turns to bring in colonists and get some bases built

You're not in an alliance, so you're probably going to get fried anyway. I give you a week tops before you give up since you people seem really unwilling to team up with people
Gather dem 3-4 people alliances and the unallied people and make an alliance!

Well, invite me, Dabu. I asked nicely. 
Doesn't the "Read Messages" function work?

I am sure that I replied to that, so I could ask you the same
No, the AA is not going to invite any more members till large alliances start popping up. So go gather up the people looking for an alliance and the smaller alliances and make a big one.
You're all aware that this is BETA, and will soon be obliterated from the face of Evercrest, only to respawn in a fantasy based castle-building/Trade whoring game.
Don't forget. 
Neither is using a space beacon twice in the same sector...

Haven't received any, myself.... and no one's invited me into an alliance, either.

How.... Mooj.... uughhhhhh:
Alright, I've figured out just about everything except for one thing... What the bloody hell do Space Beacons do?
They allow you to choose what it says in the top center - like how sector 0 says "Sol:Hub of the Universe".
Problem is, they only work once in a sector, even though it says it changes it... a bug, perhaps...

Check sector 76. Suchii put up a "Tori was here" beacon, then I put a "Delphi was here, push for porn!" then a "Delphi was here, that explains the smell" then "In space, no one can smell you"
So it works.
I need more turns... must keep expanding the Confederation of Mightion.

BTW, how many fighters/torps should a planet have to be somewhat safe? I've got one with about 200k fighters and 200k torps... My holdout base.

I've seen it do that a few times before. No bigs, it stops if you logout then back in.

Double it, then you'll be half safe. Heh.
Edit: I just blew up one of Tori's planets. [ 08-14-2002: Message edited by: Delphi Aegis ]
Right now they have something like that. Shuttling colonists back and forth is a pain.... 2 mil a trip, then again that inculdes fighters and torps, but still...

Nice knowing ya, Delphi.
So, since cloak/sensors/torps/beams for bases are rated at the same level your ships are (unless I'm wrong), would that apply to your shields, too?
I'm thinking a superstrong planetary defense would involve have an insane amount of excess energy to keep the shields powered. For example, if you had a million spare energy on a planet, what would it take to get through those shields?
Darn... wish I had before and after numbers from when Zachary attacked Compassion...
However! Energy also powers beams, so in the example above, the planet would actually use 1 mil beams first (See FAQ for attack order), destroying any fighters sent towards it, then it would use any remaining for sheilds.
Same for ships.
Btw, the planet was in sector 166.. I think. Not populated, just kinda there. So I blew it to bits.
I might suggest that people run a full scan from sector 1 before they take a warp jump from there... I'm starting to feel guilty.
Either that, or carry lots of creds for tolls.
Yes, I know I shouldn't have put planets there. Good old 20/20 hindsight.
