Yes, I played this game for years. Yes. You will get used it, as the guy above that thinks he is above all is trying to drool to you.
 Once you managed to figure it all out. Don't dare to threaten that guy, cause he will then ruin your economics, ruin your fun, ruin your game...and expect you to be a "man" and fight him. So "puke" don't even start here...type "peacefull game" into google.

Cause AG is not made for PvP. The creator of the game, has added PvP, but never played PvP himself. He doesn't know how EASY it is to attack and destroy a player...and get away from it.

Most players in AG are peacefull, actually the best about AG... :)great fun communities...but ALL scared of encountering TOAA(the one above all)...why? Cause they don't enjoy playing like him. He is a "ego shooter" guy without a play station. His Internet connection allows ONLY this game...the problem is, this is not a PvP game. :-/ but he has an aggressive stance!

So grow, grow, grow! Spend your time on this game (YEARS) and then...if you want. Fight against the Raphael...I think he is 9 years old....or join his alliance...of join another and bow your head FOREVER, like all the rest!

In this game it's simple...those who came first "dictate". Dictating means being a dictator. YOU PLAY LIKE THIS! That's dictating...and with the blocking of sol, Raphael is DICTATING, like a dictator tling you how to you HAVE to play this game!

And there is nothing that you can do!!! Nothing!!! Because he started this game years before you, du to MUDflation...noting you can do. (again...lazyness in coding) and if he notices that you have 5 times more income then you, cause he is primitive...then he will certainly distroy you! And he has better weapons, why? ...MUDmation, lazy coding, lazy mantainance...and no development. Dead game. I have seen it a dozen times.
One big king...everybody hates him. Same old story. The creators fault, bad coding.

So as long as that primitive guy is around, go look for another game. No need to try to gain power here...it's very unrealistic anyway. PAHHH! Compressing cargo bay...lol! Duh!
PM me if you need a suggestion, I just went through the lists.

Contact me if you want location information.
The mathematical calculation of the bounty is so stupid, that it leaves plenty for both of us.

Freedom to SOL, our birth system!

Well, Raphael can not recruit. that's for sure. Cause no sane human wants to play by his domination rules. Very simple. The SSS is dead!

Hey, sorry for the stupid question, but uh, how do you get Mark II and up modules? I've completed the tutorial, and I have the Mark II FTL Drive  researched, buut there's no option to install it when I go to the ship maintenance station?
Uh, thanks.
Also, Sorry if this post is in the wrong place, I spent like five mintes squinting at the screen like an old man trying to find a questions subforum.

Hi Cpt. Blah.
Thank you for your question.

This is the answer:
Your Tech is a separate dimension that is purely theoretical. With SLBs (science modules) you can generate RP (research points) to upgrade your module tech.
Your module tech is important! It will define what size module you can build. If you have module tech of a FTL-II ...then it doesn't mean that you can install FTL-II on all ships. It means that you can BUILD FTL-II and then install it.

To build:
Building is the most important! Build build build! But be careful, don't build more then you need. And if you do, find a buyer for the rest. Normally production price is spec.... Meaning, you will get your investment of building back, but not the time involved.

1st step:
Note down what you need to build FTL-II.
Enter SOL exchange and buy mats (mats are lay out needed to build something, if you say for example :"I have 15 mats for FTL-II for sale, then we all understand that you are selling a FTL-30...but you didn't build it yet.)
Once you got the mats in your cargo bay, go to manufacture. Make sure to have a FTL-I in your cargo bay. Click on upgrade, and the IA in your ship will combine the mats with the given module.

Simple as that.

A question, my friend, is always justified! And is never stupid!!! The answers can be "well meant" ...but stupid.

Thank you for your question.

P.S. ask more!!! And join a corp. join SPQNR or the newborn SEC! Both are democratically weighted corporation that takes value in every bodies game. Try! Fun!!!

Mata,
You really still think it's me???
You gotta be kidding me! Empire builder? Not much to see of that. Don't let others manipulate your goodness in this way. It's sad to see how you loose, without even knowing that you had a fight. You have the know how and the power to build an empire, but with your own strength...and not the manipulative wicked ways of others. Your barking up the wrong tree. Look around...who is smiling at the fact that you hate me? Who? And how easy is it for him...or even them, to make you believe it's me?
Relax and think... Your a empire builder, right? Don't let others manipulate you. I KNOW THE TRUTH!!! Lol...cause it's not me giving you those negative points Mata. That's why I find this all rather amusing. They play with you like with a sweet puppy. Your a good person. ...don't let others take advantage of that.

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPQNR
I apologize that I won't make it, lots to do playing war, i am sending you some Dictator prisoners to play with in your arena, I wish you all a great party!

The Supreme Furry Commander

Yep! See birdbrain...everybody is reading it! That counts! Oh my goodness, now I worry to have taught you something! I like you ignorant and premature. lol

 

Every non-allied ship that is loitering around SSS bases will be attacked.

Members of the SSS, it's your last chance. 36 hours left and I will destroy any of your ships. Your ships are very small. I would hate do to it. I found many in the last days. Move!!! Join another corp that enjoys this game in peace, that enjoys playing with friends. Your leader is a very miserable guy. He has problems...are they yours? Are they yours because he helped you in the past with QPs??? Do they have to be yours? Choose peace and friendliness. Leave the SSS before I consider you as my enemy too. 36 hours left.Sorry guys! 

Yes! I agree! Fortress is a financial stupidity! Putting shields on it would make it more interesting. If there is no other way, sell "shield fortresses" on the pledge bro.

Its strange soon after I join AG SirEm forgets about the game?? What If I quit will that bring him back??
I know that is crazy But SirEmi may be stuck in limbo I was thinking that he live in UK ,and the computer/Server is set up in USA...
Everyone is quick to say that game needs updated,and maybe its does ,or maybe it does not ?? The day you can not move your ships/fleet is the day you should be worried!! When I started everything seem to work for me,and I still playing without complaining ...But I did see SirEmi a week or two(2) ago,so maybe he didn't forget about the game?? Maybe he has real life Job and he does this in his spare time?? Maybe he is stuck on island ??But either way we have a great game and be glad that is still working ..thank you for reading my post------------ESC

Esco,
sir Emi is with us!
Never doubt that!

Certainly.
A great day for SEC and a great thing for AG.
Together you will train a great new generation of long term playing new "AG addicts".
I'm very excited and happy to see this happening.
Tnx to both of you for your efforts and commitment to helping AG grow.
Fantastic guys!

I pray...
I pray that all members of the SSS life in peace in future...
I pray that the SSS does not dissolve into inactivity because of bad politics...
I pray that human kind evolves to be kind and loving...
I pray that the least expected of expectations happens and the future of this game becomes a priority to Raphael...(aka The one above all)... Not just his ego...

...yes, I pray for those things...not an update. I pray for humanity!

And truely...I hope you understand, that IF WE...you and ME...don't get more players into AG....THE YOUR LASERS WILL BE SWITCHED OFF...game over...your browser can NOT open this page!!! So make an effort...try...and if you don't care about this game...then go back to sleep! Please. Cause others around you care a lot about this game. We really like this game.

 I feel sad to even have to tell you this...this so basic 1:1 kindergarden "how to play together".
We depend on a good atmosphere, we NEED new players!!! Cause it we don't get them...AG WILL be switched off. Try harder Raphael. Please.

The only way to stop me from passing you on top score?

What a low senseless answer mata. You say nothing to the subject that one player allows another player to do this or that...probably cause on your spaceship you took commands growing up by a hairy guy called Sargas. All your life...so your brain never developed to even think about the meaning free will and freedom. Uhh poor boy.

You missed the point...as usual.
