Hey Talon! Well, like I promised you, I am looking at trash talk now...obviously...but hyperiums is still down to new users. Posted Image

Is there a technical support email address that I could perhaps request the reason why it's down? Does anyone know? If not, well, thanks anyway! And if anyone could perhaps post a quick tutorial on how to get a good start in the game for the first few...months or whatever? I need some good tips and tricks and basic gameplay...yeah yeah, i know Talon, we talked about this already, but it would be nice to see what others would like to say about it...

My biggest problem right now:
I was going to order a ton of Cruisers, but almost all my production capacity was taken up by the 40 dessies and 100 armies I've got in production (my military needed an overhaul Posted Image

)

Yeah it's a little bit of bragging, but I should actually be doing a lot _better_ - I have been playing since a month after Hyperiums left beta, and therefore since the beginning of this round. (My first planet was at -8,8: Arisia)

They ran out of Hyperium planets. It should be up, as I just (finally) got my second one.

You don't have to take Hyperiums planets on creating an account (When I last checked). You can use one of your own name; that's how the galaxy gets started.

I now own all of the planets at my home coords, too. Yay. Making about 24mil/day. But then, the planet I just took is Minero. My main planet's Minero prices are 78K at 10% taxes at the same coords. I'm only exporting 6 through that channel, and I have quite a few relations I want to cancel...

Much money in the future.

[edit]
Yep, after two cash ticks the planet's already making what it made before half over.

Sorry, but I just have to flame Clayto, the guy that used to own the planet I took.

What kind of idiot exports 42 to planets with costs less than the production costs!?

Now that's stupid... and even the other 185 production only made 2.5mil. If only 60 of that way exported to Lankiveil (my main planet at the same coords) that one trading relation would have made him 3.5mil.

Sarg: Join Fox instead of FTU - I'm not sure if FTU still exists anymore, and Fox has more power.

1) Use your first planet to make money, and don't get attached to it. Don't spend too much money defending it. Make your second planet a base of ops, and once you drop out to protection on the second, build up a fleet.

2) Take all of the planets at your Fleet Base's coords. Try to start about a day after you drop out of protection; they should be out by then and probably won't have a fleet yet.

3) When you have more than one planet in the same sector, try to trade with yourself as much as possible - less infiltration risks.

More later.

Join 'em both. The FTU still exists...it's going pretty well, except that Joolzman is leaving. Posted Image

We were ranked 140 last time I checked...

Wasn't sure - one of the planets I lost was my last FTU planet.

FTU will live forever!

Hey Pallas, I know have a 'TerranWorld' type planet. 70k import price, 10% tax. I'd be making about 30 million of that planet if it wasn't captive.

Bah, lost Taill due to infil (and PEEC)...so I can't get it back for a while...this is humiliating, as I had just switched it to democratic. Posted Image

The PEEC takes effect only in democratic systems, and if Taill was taken over it would have switched to Authoritarian no?

Hyperiums seems to appeal to the more 'empire weaving' among us, like myself, but Planeterion is better for the tactical consideration that come with many ship classes.

It says 6 planets here.

Karrde, don't you realise that there is beauty in simplicity? In hyperiums, we have 3 ships, with super-clearly defined roles, and 1 army. I wouldn't have that changed to a planeterion like system if I could help it.
