So i'm lvl 76 and i have very few worthwhile planets on my scanners.....however there is a massive ultra rich art planet owned by an enemy....the proble mis they are over rank 700 so i know if they choose to take notice, and i figure they will i'll receive the whooping of my digital life.

few questions then. How long will i be on his log for him to toy with? The planet has ZERO defense/attack so i feel it is my duty to accept the ass whoopin, i just want to know how long i can expect to recieve said whoopin

I don't do much pvp my stats are 3 disables 5 raids 5 hacks. what are the odds he will be able to hack planets from my data base? i don't know if there is a CAP on how good a chance he can have based on the difference between his tech and mine which obviously is MASSIVE. I only have 19 planets two of which are mission created so there is a risk as i don't really want to lose my dyson or terra mission planet.

thoughts/suggestions anyaone?

Go for it, if you get it... he only has 2 days to hit you. If you dont... well... you should get it.

Let us know how it goes.

Waiting on regen so i have enough to bring pop down, conquer(hopefully) and flux it so hopefully the worst i recieve is a few disables and some hacks/raids......unless he gets lucky and finds one more my 4 better planets. rest are only rich so would be an okay trade

considering he was nice enough to plunk down 3 +12 art structures that i won't be able to use for a while.......report in later after i have (hopefully) conquered it.

hmmm sounds dysonian... have fun with that! i suggest once they disable you stay disabled, cause they will hack/raid you to zero. otherwise, congratulations! and make sure you destroy all the structures on it in case they somehow manage to get an alert out.

no its not a dysonian, and i plan on bringing it down/conquer/flux very quickly......i can't build the +12 buildings so can't afford to sack those. And yeah i already mentioned to my legion they should NOT be kind enough to repair me if they happen to notice i'm disabled

if your not on +12 buildings, then they wont give you any production. and its free to destroy em. so unless you want zero production from your planet, youre better off destroying em to build your own structures.

If you conquer it, you need to demolish the +12's. You can't use any buildings that you have not researched yet. Best of luck though and keep your finger on the flux button...

ah hadn't realized that

oh well still need the planet.

well guess i'll have to wait......he was online and was defending the planet just as i reduced its pop to zero.....i can't quite contend with just over 12k attack and just over 11k defense....prior to legion bonus for a single ship

lolz had to try.

I was about to say, it may only appear to be 0 att/0 def, but have passive abilities and traps out the yen yang! I know of someone who purposely REMOVES all att/ def from a specific planet while they are online... just in the hopes of catching a planet nibbler. If no one comes, he addes att/ def before he logs out...LOL Yes, it is costly and wasteful... but it is how he gets his kicks. You never know what tricks people have up their sleaves. Attack planets at your own risk.

yeah i just got unlucky that he was online and noticed my michief in time to put himself in the way....theres NO way i can do anything while he's guarding it.....but if he doesn't flux it or put defenses on it i WILL try again.....just have to pick a different time of day and hope he's not a script kiddy or some such nonsense.

Why not just unstable warp him away?

Lol. Similar to what happened to me 2 days ago. When I started reading this, I thought you were the guy who took my planet.

Except, I'm 900+ and he is 73. He was able to attack and flux it while I was gone. I lost around 300 research production an hour, so I'm guessing it was a massive 1x or 2x megarich. He wouldn't answer my question of what type of planet he took.

And yes we will set you to 0 for as long as your on the news feed. It's annoying but if I were in your situation, I'd take the planet to.

Oh, and if any lowbies decide to take a planet make sure you have a planet flux, because your not going to be able to hold that planet without it. So, all you end up doing is take a beating and cost the high level aggravation and lots of credits(20+billion for me to invade)

You might also want to remember that fluxs are rare so you might not want to use on on an ultra rich

Frail, sometimes even if you dont have a flux and are willing to take the disables or sit disabled for 2 days.... just causing the high level to spend all those credits could be worth it to the attacker.

20 billion + 600mil and 5 aidonium (per +12 building ) + 250 mil and 5 aidonium (per obviation barrier)

Could mean an easy 22 billion credit sinkhole. That is enough of a bother for some people, and at your rank... might not be so hard to fund. For a rank 500ish the cost of I would imagine 14 bil... could break the bank quite quickly, especially if its a co-ordinated bank breaking assault.

How much credits do you pull a day anyways? Just out of sheer curiosity...

If your intention is just to annoy the high level, then taking over a planet even without a flux would definetly work.

I get around 13 billion a day from minerals. I can get another 10 billion a day if I convert my research into credits.

And the jury is in.....his epeen is WAAAAAAY bigger then mine.....as if i didn't know that already.

So what are the odds that one group of 50 people on a game of this scope just happens to have multiple planets on scanners from another group of 50 people? One would think rather low, but apparently not. While i personally only got a slew of disables/hacks/raids my legion mates lost a small handful of planets as retaliation for me attacking (didn't actually conquer mind you) a planet.

so long story short guess i'm stuck sucking up all the trash planets that are the majority of my scanners. Wouldn't be so bad if i had some even half okay planets to work with but its mostly junk grrrr.

tickle the bull get the horn in your buddies nads.......ah well live and learn i guess

I left you alone the first time, you failed and there was no gain in chasing you. You ignored your chance to walk away. Instead you decided to return and try again.

For the most part I leave the little legions alone. In fact I don't even know who you are until you do something stupid and attract my attention. It is sad that your legion had to pay for having someone so foolish in their legion. In the future stay out of my way and I will leave you alone.

For the record I have more than 500 planets in my database. I scan and purge 20-40 a week depending on how good they are. I have plenty of good planets that I haven't had time to take. If you want to start a fight with me I will be glad to move you to the top of my list.

It's almost tempting to take you up on that offer, but i think we both know how that would turn out
I tempted fate, and i got called on it. I'll just have to hurry up and hit rank 115 so i can start in on the mission so i can purge my scanner database to actually try and find some good planets that aren't controlled by people that can squash me like a bug.

Are there really that few people playing that it is relativly easy to fish for a given legion's planets? just curious. Was under the impression quite a few people played which would make the odds seem a bit small to run into any planet owned by either a single person or even by one of a given legions planets.

My suggestion to you is be selective and trade with your buddies. Don't colonize anything smaller than average and without a resource that is rich. I know its tempting to colonize that tiny 3x but it will screw you later. A good legion will share planets with a needy member.
