Fight Night?

I read somewhere that you can build up commanders by having fleet fights between alliance members.  I'd like to test this.  If it works well, then we could do a fight night where we circle some SY and put fleets in the middle to beat on each other.  Do a round robin of who gets to attack who.  when we are depleated of ships the fight night is over and we talk SF.  We could talk SF the whole time and have this go on in the background.

No worries, just excited to be within spitting distance of an increase in ships for this commander

As soon as I get my current commander to +70 I'm going to go back and take one of my top commanders as far as I can get before we take on Sorin again.

I've tried to drive my ship build time lower but nothing. I'm switch it working on the collection rates of resource stations and the collection tech to increase the ammount of energy on hand to fuel large groups of fighters.

Also I think I'll be using the crusader fighter for the king of the hill since it the most energy efficent. and as I can field more fighters I'll build and deploy more turrets.

What we did with Tom's 20,000 turrets was a pretty good tactic. Imagine doing it with 40k or 60 k?

The high XP comes from a week fleet attacking a strong fleet.  Hence why I stopped upgrading the A/D of my swingers.   I hit with swingers to get XP against someones collussi.  Then I hit the next day with collossi to allow someone else get good XP.

I'm swapping in collossi and crusaders- though I think I'll want to drive up crusader tech eventually.

I think my main fleet admiral will roll over a new fleet limit by the weekend which brings up a new issue: if he keeps increasing in fleet size then it could slow down his participation in fight night if I want him to bring his full allotment of ships with him. I may just settle for 1000 ships. It just doesnt seem that I can drive my build time lower than 58 sec.

I seem to remember Tim saying that 58 seconds was the limit when he announced the upgrade.  I think that if I missed a day or two of king of the hill battles I might hit with a 1000+ fleet to make up for th down time.  Or better yet, if I was traveling overseas I would hit with a 1000+ fleet to cover for the dead time when I am flying and settling in.  I do this with long station and tech upgrades timed to start just at the time I leave for a long flight trip.  Other than that I would likely limit my fleet sizes on a daily basis so that I had time to rebuild them in a day.  I am already pressed with 840 - 860 fleets and 1 minute build times.  I only attack once a day.  I don't want to draw my ship reserves down.

I mentioned our king of the hill game to a player who hit a remote star of mine.  I think he was after easy pickings and I turned out to be active.  So I mentioned it as a option for him to gracefully bow out of a long term fight.  I say if we allow other alliances to fight that we use a seperate remote moon and only deply a SY near there.  Our current king of the hill is too close to our other properties.

Note to self, dont pull ALL ships from the king of the hill, leave at least one there. Greg Castle has yet again dropped a fleet on the star.

I warned him that his fleet could be unintentionally attacked by parking it there.

Clearly we need a spot outside the response range of the turrets we have nearby, there is what looks like an inactive player near by on a regular ore planet that we could move off and begin using as a hill or just deal with people continually scrambling for energy properties.

Strangely I dont feel the need so much right now to scramble for energy properties since maxing out my energy collection. I'm thinking that it would be nice to scale back on properties and max out all collection tech if I also didn't feel the need to max some military tech right now.

There is a theta ore just to the south of the factory star and east north east of the king of the hill.  I once owned it months ago then moved off as ore became less valuable to me.  No one has tried to claim it sence.

This might be a better location as energy properties are always in higher demand and we will continually get people trying to grab this star if we pull ships for tactical operation which seems like that sort of thing is going to be on the rise.

So Should we switch to 703, 2603 for a king of the hill location that doesn't tempt others?

If Tom agrees I'll leave a fighter to hold it and message Greg Castle that he can have it. He's been a good neighbor and moved on when he found out is was our "hill" so I feel like he should get it.

Same thing happened on a fight between jedion357 and myself as well.  It just shows that the damage calculations are completely formulaic and that there is no randomness involved.  It's just a function of the ship type, commander bonus, and tech levels.  And since we're all evenly matched, we destroy equal numbers of ships.

Gabriela Alessandri, allaince Valhalla, is joining King of the hill you are free to attack her fleets.

EDIT: Her allaince is at war but there is not much action with many players dropping out of the game, she'll send fleets every now and again.

Sigh, new commander levels with the last one confering commander bonus 84% and fleets of 5400; I only just got 3 of my commanders up to the last maximum level.

EDIT: need to reach 6,500,000 EXP for maximum level on a fleet commander, on'u 4.4 mil to go
