Tonight I attacked this guy:

I stole a total of 113338 out of 159943 Metal

105200 out of 128694 Crystal

6020 out of 6747 Deut.

He had no defense, no major ships, nothing. So why havent any of you guys hit him yet?

This is why we have to probe people because people like this guy are in our backyard and nothing is being done about it.

I spend alot of time probing people because hits like this are out there. A few Heavy fighters and some Sm Cargos could have wiped him out just as easy as anything I sent. Lets be more aggressive and search for targets because nothing will just fall in our lap....we have to go out and find it.

Another thing harvest destroyed planets. They can give you 1000 or more in res. each one. What you do is if you find a destroyed planet probe it then send recyclers out like to a debris field. There are lots and lots of destroyed planets out there if you spend the time looking. All this is just easy money waiting to be picked up.

Must read please

Ok I got more tips for the team........The new guys need to know this and you more experienced guys should already be doing this.

When you attack a planet and know res. will be in debris pick it up within 6 mins or less. How you ask?

#1___When you find a planet your going to attack and are ready to attack it, send out 1 or 2 esp. probes to attack...not spy. Of course you will lose but this causes a debris field. Then send the amount of recyclers you think you will need for the res. left from your main attack. Calculate the time need for the recyclers to get there and the time it will take for your attack to get there ( recyclers take longer )then when you are within 6 mins or so apart in time then send your fleet to attack. Confused yet?? Here's an example.....

I have 120 Battleships and 100 Light fighters that I have ready to attack planet X. The guy didnt fleet save so I know I will destroy his 30 LC and 50 Cruisers. Time of arrival is 1hour 36 mins. I dont send them yet. I instead launch 2 probes to attack planet X causing a debris field. Now I launch maybe 6 recyclers to get the debris I am anticipating when I do attack with main force. My recyclers will arrive in 3 hours 25 mins. Now I wait until My recyclers have only 1 hour and 42 mins to go before it reaches the debris field, at that time I launch my attack. The attack is only 1 hour 36 mins away and the recyclers are 1 hour 42 mins away meaning my recyclers will arrive 6 mins after the attack preventing anyone from getting any of the res from the attack.

I hope you understand..... if not I will explain..... more just ask. Please excuse any misspellings etc,etc....
