1.i can play so i have no worries and i just play the game as it comes i don't set down any real stragties except make sure you have plenty of metal/dil
2.i'm on a school computer and your sig takes up the whole screen could you change it till you can get that smaller version???

i agree it makes it seem like there hundreads of people that just posts on the fourms and don't play the game, now even i have stopped posting things like "lol" or things that are not revelent so i think other people should stop things like this because that is makeing the fourms look bad.

[/edit]i think you should maybe have a minium word thingy[edit]

My Federation Method for Fleet Operations (V2.0 &V3.0):

Fleet 1: Warships
Fleet 2: Warships
Fleet 3: Warships
Fleet 4: Warships
Fleet 5: Repair Ships (Captured Warships if Repair Ships are not available)
Fleet 6: Fleet Flagship (The 1 Vessel you command personaly)
Fleet 7: Vessels that are derelict and cannot be salvaged
Fleet 8: All Mining Freighters
Fleet 9: 16 Venture Class
Fleet 0: All Construction Ships

Send Fleet 9 on a constant Explore Task for scout the map, Fleets 8 & 0 should be obvious. If a Vessel falls derelict and cannot be salvaged for some reason it gets stuck in Fleet 7 and forgotten. Fleet 4 is left to guard the Base, Fleet 3 is also used to help protect my allies base. When I go to attack the Enemy, I send Fleets 1,2,3,5 and 6 in for and attack at the same time from different Angles and get Fleet 1 to destroy the Starbase and the Rest of the Fleets to go for the Turrets and Shipyards, then leave the rest of the ships to choose their own targets while commanding only the Flagship (Fleet 6). All System upgrades are usually done before attacking.

Second Starbase in the Bottom corner of the Map with 10 Defence Platforms around 2 Mining Stations and 4 Mandril Class can make it almost certain that if your base is destroyed you can make a full comeback.
