Player Update: What's new for Voidhawk

Prev: Newsletter - May 6th 2006 - Edition 1 | Next: OGame Update: May 19th 2006

I just completed Hyperspace Drive Level 10! WOOHOO! That cost a bit. Took 11.5 days to complete… I don’t think I’ll go for Level 11 anytime soon.

In other news…

I am now the proud ( er… humbled ) owner of my 4th moon.

It is 8831 (on a 20% chance). So I am going to work on getting another Jump Gate there. That gives me jump gates in 4 galaxies (only one more galaxy and I’ll have all the galaxies I live in covered by a Sensor Phalanx and Jump Gate).

BTW, Gallandro and I have talked quite a bit after this crash. He wanted some extra crystal, and I had it (in one form anyhow). (He did get all the recycler haul). I am always happy to supply the neighbors with resources (and they always like to supply me with resources too! )

3. lol ! :D
   my defence is olmost twice that, but none has even tried to break trough my defence…

4. lol guys.

   1k Small Lasers own. Nobody bother to take them down, but if you think 100 Bs would be enough lol, but they dont know.. there would be another 20% moon for me

   
   — Doogle    May 29, 09:01 PM    #

5. lol, I’ve got 4.5k small lasers on my main planet, and more than 1k small lasers on most of my colonies… if you have enough ships in orbit, 1k small lasers won’t protect you at all.

   And besides, that’s why they make bombers.

6. Stopped investing on planet as soon as i got the moon (5mth’s before), as a good organised ipm attack can cause problems (10k roket, 10k sl, 1k hl, 1k ion, 500 gaus, 200plasma, 70 anti ipm)
   Now i’m building defence on moon, as they can protect me from loosing it to suisidal R?P’s, and a safe harbour for my small fleet (Currently 30k roket, 10k sl, 1200gaus, 500 ion, 500 plasma)..

8. I am a turtle and i have 5 moons… What do you have against turtles?

   
   — Cameron    Jul 14, 04:36 AM    #

9. I do not agree with turtles, they do not gain resources they just prevent you from being crashed and you can do this by just fleetsaving.

   
   — lolz0rdingnoob    Jul 14, 08:29 PM    #

10. Being a turtle is only good if you can’t be on 24/7. I am proud to be a turtle because I only go on every day for 1 hour total. 1 hour split up into multiple playing sessions of course. Btw, Small Lasers are the best type of defense only until Bombers start showing up. Then Small Lasers may as well be a frying pan for all the good they do at that time. Before Bombers and Destroyers appear, Small Lasers own.

11. light lasers are rubbish what you want is plasma turrets or ion cannons or gauss cannons. oh and a large shield dome

    
    — vemon    Jul 21, 06:52 PM    #

12. well whar rules are plasma only if getting attacked by bombers or destroyers
    if not light laser are better of it low price in relation with its WP SP and hull
    and try to remember that 10 plasma can only take down 10 BS per round and 200 light laser can take down a bit more
    so there is no defense system after destroyers and bombers appear but efore light laser it is the best

14. Don’t for get the upgrades of weapons, sheilds and armor ;p

    
    — Whats It Called    Aug 4, 11:29 AM    #

15. im a turtle in training and I think that being a turtle is cool. I’m in the middle of a conflict that could become an all out alliance war and so far no-one has attacked me. I make raids to cripple the enemy fleets rather than for resorce. thats what farms are for. I only attack if i wont lose too many ships.

17. am turtle to be but i think its a smart build for ppl withlimited time

    
    — the guy    Nov 24, 10:00 AM    #

18. Seriously, what is a freaking turtle for this game?

    
    — Phalanax    Dec 8, 05:14 PM    #

19. @ The Abhorsen
    ok pal, the reason you have never been attacked is 1: nobody on uni 1 has that few points anymore, and 2: people dont play on uni 1. they like to go to the newer unis like 26 and 27.

    @Phalanax
    a turtle is a player who prefers building a wisely concocted defense rather than wasting money on an insanely large fleet just to get fleet crashed.

    and no, I won’t be checking back here to see how many ppl argue with me and disagree because frankly I dont care.

20. but why turtles are fun to be…. its a fortress :) thats how you get stronger with defence then you build a fleeeet and obliberate the ppl around you :) my plan works lol my whole galaxy is a slave to me :)

    
    — lolek    Jan 9, 01:10 PM    #

21. Turtles huh, Well, now I have my strategy. But everyone is forgetting something that I learned in another game. There will always be someone with enough power to break through any defense and someone with enough def to break any offense.

    
    — ridick    Feb 6, 02:45 PM    #

22. Thing is though, if you are a turtle and have a huge defense, sure someone can break you but you discourage alot of ppl from attacking you and secondly you have a 70% chance your units will come back as compared to your fleet which is gone forever if someone catches it.

23. trtles r cool

    
    — benruelz    Jul 20, 02:12 AM    #

24. the type of turtle as the creature is cool and novelty but the ogame srcewup with to much defence suck

    
    — the guy with the big nose    Jul 23, 05:00 PM    #

25. how about just not having any def and use all the res you get quikly, then noone will bother attacking you,(unless they hate you)

    
    — jolly boy    Jul 25, 06:49 AM    #

26. my def is RL : 25.000 plasma turret: 457 LL: 1000 HL:509 GC:45 IC:23

    i love plasma turrets. i once shot down a death star in the first round! :) and my i add nd that only one plasma turret can be take down per IPM coz of attack strenth and stuctural intergity

27. “6k points on uni 1…never been attacked my defences are:

    100 rocket launchers
    10 small lasers
    8 heavy lasers
    1 l shield
    1 s shield
    and…
    20 Plasma Turrets”

    barely over 2k points and i haven’t even been able to get plasmas yet, and my defense is still much larger than that

    89 rocket launchers
    139 light lasers
    8 heavy laser
    1 gauss cannon
    9 ion cannon
    both shields

    the only reason you haven’t been attacked is because you’ve gotten lucky. that defense would barely hold against just a couple hundred heavy fighters, never mind a large, well balanced fleet

29. i prefer being a turtle. the defenses them self have a chance of regenerating. fleets instead are gone for good when attacked. i recently built up a fleet to help my alliance and it was whipped out by a ranked 72…. my defences on the other hand were cut in half but still alot regenerated. i had a 5% moon chance but didnt get it. im continueing to build up my defence and research…no one in my league ever attacks me…only people like 500 and less attack me and usually win. other then that my goal is to construct a army of death stars purely for defenses.
