What would be the best type shield for level 17's and 20 salves?? more than ten years ago by jays	101	0	I can defeat both 17's and 20's, but with much damage to myself. jays 30 Jun 2013, 1:13PM
First time rancor user Hot more than ten years ago by elli7503	311	2	At your level and situation, rancors are great for FvF, especially holding positions, stalling and guarding your base. If you were to use them to FvF I would advise putting on Scatter Missiles or Plasma Batteries combined with Beam Laser for each one, this gives it the range necessary to outrange Frigates and the DPS necessary to deal with enemy tank-ish ships such as genesis, or exodus depending on the state of your sector. If you are to use them for FvF, your task is actually very simple, du… zys123 30 Jun 2013, 6:03AM
cargos 20,25 Hot more than ten years ago by LacisLV	221	3	i think, if you can distract the ships with your harrier and keep the ships in range of the longbows HAWKEYES33 27 Jun 2013, 11:02PM
VEGA cargo's 37 Hot more than ten years ago by Dezgard	231	1	Well scrub this tactic because the updated changed AI ranc they are now very fast and turn faster. Dezgard 26 Jun 2013, 9:58AM
Genesis Hot more than ten years ago by KMFDM NOMAD	1K	29	hey here is a gensis fleet i use to blitz base's with i still need to add higher weapon's special's ad armor to fleet apart from that i think the fleet work's good Mark Concliffe 24 Jun 2013, 11:17PM
Cargo fleet lvl 7-10 Hot more than ten years ago by LacisLV	311	1	I forgot how to take take those cargo. But i sugest you to take lvl 13 cargo. Ships: Harriers Weapon: 2 Railguns armor: Platsteel/tritanium Shield: Spectral use 1 ship to bait enemy ships by circling them. Keep the bait moving, so those railguns will not hit you. While the enemy firing at your bait, use the rest of your ships to kill them. If you do it right, you will only lose 1 harrier or even you won't lose any ships Dito_SatrioU 24 Jun 2013, 1:30PM

Touch Pad Rebels. more than ten years ago by Mr Popo	41	0	This topic will be fore the sole reason of sharing knowledge on players like myseelf that play on a laptop computer that uses a touch pad, or any other touch device that I may not be aware of. I see sevearl complaints about control from people on lap top and I would like to share my experances in an effort to aid future Touch Pad Rebels. First and foremost, never make an excuse for yourself. The fact that you play under different circumstances does not mean your are playing under a handicap. Th… Mr Popo 22 Jun 2013, 12:13PM
shiip layouts Hot more than ten years ago by Mark Concliffe	1.1K	8	im a level 23 and still use my longbows with plasma for base hits. the issue is a fleet good in 1 base will not be good for another. but plasma battery works better than rails or gauss . captianjoe 21 Jun 2013, 5:23PM
Base Asteroids don't last forever? Hot more than ten years ago by TheHolyAsdf	441	4	The resource gatherers do influence how much resources the asteroids spawn with. I had all level 3 resource gatherers and the asteroids spawned with 1 million resorces, when i upgraded some of them, the 2 million asteroids started popping up. Then when i upgraded them all to level 4, there were only asteroids with 2 million resources. Bird1sTheWord 20 Jun 2013, 10:46PM
What shields to use on buildings? Hot more than ten years ago by duplilodu	201	2	Whatever you can build and use on there. Higher numbers works for protection! Would be nice if we had inner base guard as well. Right now just the outer guard only :( tipstir 20 Jun 2013, 12:28PM
Vega project Hot more than ten years ago by abbandon.smith.9	1.1K	8	Screw it!! If you got 4 Talon you can do 37's!!! No need to mess with small crap. abbandon.smith.9 17 Jun 2013, 12:34PM
What weapons should I outfit a hitting fleet with? Poll Hot more than ten years ago by techniques	1.3K	7	i dont have plasma batterys but i am loving my scatter missles. Matthew Martin 15 Jun 2013, 5:57PM
Base Hit/Resource %ages hauled away Hot more than ten years ago by Brian Michael McGaughey	351	14	This is about as clear as a mud puddle lol..... So if you hit a single WH that holds 666k and you have the room for it you don't take a % of it you just take the whole thing??? So in fact lots of tiny WH is better than few fatter ones??? The bridges holds res to though so my question is what gets filled up first and how is it spread between your base and the WH's?? Does it take your total res and say 50% goes to base, 50% goes to WH. Of the 50% that goes to WH it divides it equally a… abbandon.smith.9 15 Jun 2013, 7:41AM
Need help making a strong base please Hot more than ten years ago by Beast dood	1.2K	9	Too bad that video was entirely wrong.... putting lasers on the outside and projectiles on the inside? Mega laughs. Long range weapons should never be placed within each other's minimum ranges, and short range weapons should not be left out by themselves for easy pickings with insufficient cover from long range guns. Krazie243 14 Jun 2013, 1:09AM
Meterorites in bases more than ten years ago by rafius	101	4	Actually, you can just build your base in the middle and extend out to the asteroids from there using labs and such so that you don't have to move your base around ever. Krazie243 13 Jun 2013, 5:50PM
Antimatter Hot more than ten years ago by Boaz Shako 1 2	781	32	This topic was about antimatter!? I know it says it in the title and all but...nevermind. Time to get relevant. I fail to see the problem here in finding this item, the makers of this game have done everything EXCEPT hand it to players. Allow some light to be shed on this, and then I will gladly let this post die. First off, how rare is antimatter? Think hard, its something we as a species cannot even find let alone contain yet, but we know its there because of the marks it leaves. This … Mr Popo 13 Jun 2013, 1:08PM
Thorough Exodus Mass: 1.080 Hot more than ten years ago by Coisa8	371	4	Why would you put armor on an Exo? That is silly. Put weapons. Shields are infinitely more useful than armor. Krazie243 11 Jun 2013, 6:06PM
Ship design Hot more than ten years ago by fatarsemonkey	4.7K	10	Exo's with 3 lvl 1 Mass Drivers, Strafe 4 Thrusters, what ever type of armor and shielding you want, and your good to go for AM and VEGA fleets. MetalstormV 10 Jun 2013, 5:05PM
Unethical Practices: Base Protect Poll Hot more than ten years ago by Sofa_King_Dope	791	12	It's not unethical its fine, but it is weak. I never discourage someone from hitting me. I tell em to go for it my base can take it. THEBEARD98 5 Jun 2013, 9:54AM
Ideas for hitting Vegas??? Hot more than ten years ago by Dayspring329	441	9	My best strategy is Strafe 3 Exos with Mass drives... Group in to 2rows and track side ways till cruisers are dead. Works best on 40s as they are a lot slower. Dayspring329 21 May 2013, 8:44PM
Heavy Polaron Beam worth having? Hot more than ten years ago by Juan_WOLF	1.2K	6	A combo of beams, for the blitzers, chargers, for the rancors and blitzers, and one or two torps, for the snipers will make a good base. shadow228 15 May 2013, 9:55PM
fleet builds Hot more than ten years ago by alex.hogg.14	2.1K	3	Ya sounds like a good idea i mostly hit fleets and so i like to have a couple heavy hitters in the front to asorb any damage and protect my longbows and keep them in the fight for as long as possible alex.hogg.14 5 May 2013, 5:20PM
Which ship carries the most armour slots? more than ten years ago by Grumpy Cat	81	1	High armor close fighting has nothing to do with armor slots. Battleships and Destroyers are simply incapable of good close combat. You want Cruisers for that type of behavior. Battleships and Destroyers are meant for ranged attacks, with Battleships having a better broadside making it a poor choice for mobile combat with moving targets - you'll want to keep it relatively still and able to turn. Krazie243 3 May 2013, 1:08PM
Rancors in 20 cargos Hot more than ten years ago by Scorpion48	181	1	Bait ship. Get all the ships chasing bait (a damaged ship out of 6) and the other 5 can kill everything else. As long as you are not in their firing arc they won't shoot you. And if your other 5 ships do not take damage they will not attract attention from any other ship except to get shot at if they enter a firing arc. I tested a few things out for you. Harriers get chased instead of Corvettes. Damaged ships get chased instead of full health ships. Use that to your advantage and killing the R… Krazie243 2 May 2013, 7:04PM
high level vs low level weapon in exodus more than ten years ago by unbearable	101	1	Lower level weapons always exceed higher level weapons if you have enough room to use a few guns instead of one. Where the higher ones start to matter is when the lower level ones take up all the slots but don't come anywhere near the max weight you can use. Krazie243 2 May 2013, 1:11PM
MAINTENANCE Locked more than ten years ago by braveheartz1234	51	1	Closing as A) This is Strategy Discussion and B) There is already a maintenance thread. Ascension 2 May 2013, 3:08AM
Longbow or Rancor what do you hit with? Poll Hot more than ten years ago by techniques	2.5K	6	Since Rancors can hold more weight, use them and either blitz with lasers or give them projectiles for killing laser/gauss bases. Krazie243 1 May 2013, 5:21PM
VEGA 40 Cargo with Harriers NO Damage (patch 4/17/13) Hot more than ten years ago by Mr.Kaven 1 2	1.3K	34	same issue then superkami. FuzzyKitten 25 Apr 2013, 5:36AM
HOW TO HIT!!!! New and improved Vega ships Hot more than ten years ago by Vaughn63	691	14	I figured out the key to hitting the larger Vegas, and the only thing to know is that the vega ships will follow the weakest (or most damaged) ship, ignoring your other ships that are dancing around behind them. Thats it, they follow weakest ship. Edit: Just found that someone has video showing detail of new tactics lol Vaughn63 22 Apr 2013, 11:06PM
