Baal and Dragonlord - You two guys are going good. Almost 300k points - compared to me in third with 120k. It's going to be one hell of a war.

Mineral planets are best!

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

How is it that you can see my score Spoogy but I can not see yours?

It may come in handy for me in the future.

EDIT: By the way it will probably be a short war for me 'cause I have crappy ships that Dragonlord can just blow out of the water. I've been wasting my time researching crappy tech, like Applied Political Science and Shields.

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

Shields are by no means crappy http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif In newbie 2, Im blowing the heck out of the Eee with decade-old ships mounting Meson BLaster IIs.

They deal less damage, but the Eee shielding REALLY sucks. Well, that and overwhelming numbers.. 37 on one, you're pretty much screwed.

Well Dragonlord is using PPBs and I don't have the research output to make phased shielding worth while.

Baal - through observation. I've been in contact with Dragonlord and I know you and him and switching back and forth (as he keeps going from 1st to 2nd).

Currently, I find myself contained by the massive empires of Dragonlord and Baal. Well, at least they're not allies...

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

Nope, Baal and I are in a quasi-war.
My biggest problem now is the long supply lines I have toward my front..I colonised some stuff near the front but it takes time to build up infrastructure there. Meanwhile I am very curious what Baal is up to...he just scarificed a ship (knowingly, I assume) against my patrol fleet, I guess so he could find out what components I use on ships http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

Actually that was to see what was beyond that warp point.

I just lost two LC's to Baal's minelayer. All along I thought it was an observer ship http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif Now I find out he layed mines all over the contested system. The Nostro will pay for this !
Allies, please join me in the mourning of my lost crewmen :-(
