I have a gorund control fleet control and defense control and im building a ionized energy sheild that will be ready in 4 ticks I have 44 mines and 52 probes and only 108 ticks till protection runs out. how am i doing so far?

I started building ships right from the start. I would start construction on a facility first then buy some mines and probes then what ever I have left I buy ships. While my facility was being built I would then buy some more ships then I would wait a couple of ticks then I would buy more mines and probes.

Okay you need to build troop transports to start. Now click on map on the right hand side of the screen, and you'll be able to see galaxies. You need to find unsettled planets, and it's best to get planets where there are other IW people to protect you. Most of us have colonies in 1:5:4 - 1:5:10 or so, so check there first. When you've found an unsettled planet click on fleets and move some troop transports, and fighters if you like, into a fleet, then order that fleet to attack the planet you've chosen.

Troop Transport 50
Total 2,020

Shield Generator - 180

Mines 48 and Probes 47

You don't have to wait until the protection runs out as long as you colonize where we have established a base of power. 1:5:9 1:5:3 1:5:7 etc.. If you are ready to colonize, go ahead and go out..We can protect you while your building up. Or you can wait, either way it's up to you.

Victor von Steiner · 02-01-2002, 08:52 PM

I am going to wait so I can build up more. It is stuck at 33 ticks to go for me and now it is down.

*sigh* EQ is down again....and I was just about to build a probe...dam my newbieness...lol

Victor von Steiner · 02-01-2002, 09:52 PM

Yep it has been down for an hour now. I keep getting this message.

Restoring deleted players for inactivity that did not log in after game went back up therefore they were erroneously deleted by game. Check again in 5-10 minutes. After game resumes, ticks will return to normal.

AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe · 02-01-2002, 09:59 PM

yeah i just get into this and it goes down whats the deal with that

I think it's about an hour. It has been 15 minutes, 30 for travel, lately because they had to catch up when they lost a few of days from a bug, but I think that's almost over now and it'll be back to normal.
