why is it i can be repeatedly bashed by players over 500 and i'm only over 115

because you got alerted and fought back, stole a planet, or used an artifact on an enemy.

I still surprises me folks who get to your rank and haven't learned the alert system yet. Whatever legions you were in early on failed you in properly training.

i know the alert system, my point is why is it allowed to pummel someone every 5 min for over a day. i have 2 players over 500 bashing me repeatedly. it makes you not want to play at all

Don't repair and they cant repeatedly attack you.

i know how you feel, but hopefully this will be a learning experiance. either dont attack that legion ever again, or at least until you can take on their big guns, OR try to go after the little guys in that legion and train yourself for taking on REALLY tough legions like the top 10... if you dont care about disables and get good at killing ppl higher than you im sure talon co would love to have you, or if youre truely daring perhapse roo can take you in to fight dysonians.

Clearly you DON'T understand the alert system afterall.

I'm a rank 47 and even i understand you are in there Ship's Log for 48hrs. after the last alert or attack.

There is clearly the ability to bash forever. I think that is the issue. Player A attacks player B same rank or not.. then Player B alerts their legion.. and now the alert system "can" keep them on radar for as long as they please.

not unless you lie down and take it for 48 hours... if you fight back, yes. youre on their log indefinitly. if you dont do anything and stay disabled for 2 days, then you have nothing to worry about, save for a few raids or hacks.

Wrong.

If you don't repair and don't retaliate then you will be off there radar in 48 hours.

If you so much as attack back/hack/raid/fire an artifact then they can keep bouncing alerts.

There are also actions which limit the number of offensive actions inflicted upon you.

Dan needs to make a thread explaining everything so stop people complaining about this sorta crap.

Why would even fight back against some rank 500s anyways? you'll get your butt handed back to you.

all the more reason to rank up and pass them so you can bash on them =P

Ranking up fast without the proper research will still get you bashed even if your the same rank as your basher.

RANK <> POWER to bash

This is not an overnight game that you can buy with CC, This is like a wine that taste better over time. The longer you play the better your ship gets.
