curious, how's everyone progressing on Irkalla server?

[ColfaxJones]

so i've been playing pretty steadily, researching, exploring and building, just wondering how i'm stacking up in the first 5 days on this server.

1 have...

3 colonies in 2 sectors, will have my 4th in about 2 hours
6 sectors mapped out to 100% and some random tracks across rest of the galaxy
about 16 destroyers, and will be building battle cruisers by this evening.
14 planets with outposts, includes my starter system. all with harvesters, and about 4 trade routes.
2 neighbors with peaceful relations, for now.... sort of a mini alliance has formed.

how the rest of you stacking up? hopefully i'm not giving up good intel, probably to early for that.

[Seris]

Preeeeetty much abandoned Irkala for now xD I'm in Aruru and Ma...Ma...oh, the newest one open. xD these are strange server names.

[ColfaxJones]

i'm the 2 servers after Irkalla as well, but pretty much focused on this one. only so much mapping out probes i can take.

[Lavenders2]

Well Im not even that far along and Im on Aruru.
How are you guys doing things so fast?
I have 1 colony and can't colonize anymore because I got beaten to it.
I have 2 outposts (not including my homeworld) and about to make a 3rd when I find a good planet (perhaps my problem is that I am just not claiming planets and only the good ones?)
I am just about finished researching a T3 tech.
I am at peace with everyone except one guy who is just annoying me by killing my probes.
My home sector is around 80% explored and no other sectors have been explored yet...

[RoCoJo]

Without giving to much intel: it would be nice if there were something of a 'ranking' on the worlds itself. In that way you could see how well (or bad) fou are doing.

[VanderLegion]

4 colonies with another colony ship on the way.
20 outposts
Decent fleet of destroyers and battlecruisers
1 neighbor I'm at war with (he killed 2 of my probes early on, I retaliated by capturing one of his outposts)
Peaceful relations with the rest of my starting sector so far
405 score so far (looking at details for self on the player screen)

[ChickenHawk07]

4 colonies and 14 outposts. 3 sectors mapped at 100%. Two trade partners ATM, and have routes to all my colonies but one. Waiting on two more shipyards to complete.

[JetJaguar2000]

I'm amazed there are people dedicated enough to do that much probe work. I finally finished mapping my home sector and it felt like possibly the most pointless exercise I've gone through in a video game. At the rate the game is progressing, I am unlikely to have any meaningful enounters with most of the players in my sector, let alone the other 8.

[VanderLegion]

Yah, I've mapped out my home sector in both of my games (Aruru and Irkalla), but haven't bothered exploring past that yet.

[ChickenHawk07]

I only mapped out my home sector in Aruru, as that's more of a test game for me. In Irkalla, I'm dedicated to it and making sure my assets are protected and I know what's goING on around me.

[VanderLegion]

I'm playing pretty equally on both - testing two different builds, eventually I'll join a third game to test the last one.

[Supamand]

I'm on Burrows server mainly.

4 Colonies
54 Outposts
48 Harvesters
2 Battleships
Mapped out 3 sectors so far and kind of gave up for now. Will probably pick it up again in few days.

[ChickenHawk07]

54?! Wow.... That's a lot.

[Wrath]

You guys are too good for me, lol. I'm playing on the first three servers hoping to determine which style of play suits me better (research, trade, war), but pretty much the only successful thing I've done is send probes all across the grid on each one, and no idea really what to do with that info, lol. So, I've basically just been adding items to my research queues and waiting for it all to end or until there's a manual or something so I can grasp the big picture. Put me in the group of those who just feel like they're continually touching icons in random order hoping something good comes from it. ;-)

[surjl0827]

I play on Irkalla and Mareth. Trader.

I have:
4 Terran colonies. (All in 1 sector) All full pop.
21 Outposts
1 Sector 80% mapped.(Not very explorative)
Resource harvesters on outposts.
Cargoships on trade routes (THEY MAKE HUGE MONEY)
Destroyers.
Cruisers
Moving to Battle Cruisers and Battleships.

[Magorath]

With the risk of making myself a target.

Mapped out 8 systems 90%+
8 systems 50%~
Over 100 outposts.

3x more points then anyone I've encountered.
I was worried I wasn't doing things correctly, now I wonder what I'm doing right?

how do you check someone elses points? i can only see mine, 57087 score and 8167 sectors for what it's worth.

How many colonies? What Kind of ships?
What Type of tech do you have? Just curious.

Click on anyone's name in the Political Icon and hit details. Should show you their score, even if you haven't encountered them yet.

ah ok that must changed the past few days, it was just zero for everyone when i last checked. ty

[Supamand]

54?! Wow.... That's a lot.

Yeh, over 250 now, I lost count ;(

Just go out there and drop outposts ships, it's not hard :D
Remember, it's not necessary to set up a harvest rout to it right away, the planets will just keep stock piling the goods ;)

[ravenzachary]

Supamand - how many times do you log in per day? 250 is a lot.

[surjl0827]

New update for me:
Now I have 8 Terran colonies with max population over 3 different sectors. 2 more coming up.
Battleships have been commissioned, preparing to build hundreds of them.
Just hit 1MU resources.

1mu, impressive I'm only at 900k, but 13 colonies 10 at max pop only 75 outposts though so I'm worried that I'm lagging. I have only about twenty or so available worlds in my two home sectors and none worth taking in the adjacent sectors so I'm thinking now is the time to go Gengis Khan.

I've got 147 battlecrusiers with anther hundred in the queue. Made a lot of mistakes on my tech tree in the first three days or I would be doing better, but Im well defended on all my primary industrial worlds so hopefully I can still compete.

I think you are in the lead there big guy, encountered you and you have just over double my points.

[Magorath]

I think I'm breaking the server. Trying to take over a planet with 800 cruisers and just keep loosing connection. :confused:
Then the server doesn't even appear in the list. And the attacking never seems to happen.

[ColfaxJones]

ColaxJones: 2495810
Magorath: 2418000

also 32 galaxies 99 or 100% mapped, there's areas dead center i can't get to yet.

[countermind]

Has anyone hit those center spots yet?

[surjl0827]

Has anyone hit those center spots yet?


Yup. I researched hyper space physics and I can send my probes in somehow.

I currently have like 1.5 million score points. I destroyed 4 players' homeworlds with my fleet of 400 battleships. Pretty much one hits people's homeworlds.
I control about 2 entire sections of the galaxy. Too lazy to explore every part of the galaxy.
I am a trader.

That's a pretty interesting way to reach the win condition for a trader...

[VanderLegion]

Kinda what I thought. I'm a trader on Ninhursag, I have a large fleet of cruisers/battlecruisers, but no inclination to attack anyone (outside of the one guy who attacked me and took all my outposts in my starting area so I'm systematically killing everything he has that I can find). I figure killing people off makes it hard to trade with them to be able to win...
