Strategies

Builder

The Builder doesn't have set bank planets, but colonizes throughout the whole game and collects money from the credits produced by colonists. You start by trading until level 23 hull then get a level 15 or greater size computer and torp to defend the planets and just start to make planets.

(This strategy is great for shorter games and games with low interest)

Conqueror

The Conqueror is a more risky type of player that feeds off other players success by taking banks and planets, by means of Kami's, SOFA or might be strong enough to wipe you out in one go. You can start off trading to level 21 hull and have spare money, then start scouting and hope you find some planets and maybe Kami or SOFA them. There is a great risk doing this. If the player comes online and grabs his cash and runs, you have lost alot of turns and money and come out with not a penny, although if you are successful, you stand to gain alot of money.

(I personally reccomend playing a number of games and having better understanding of the mathmatics of the game before trying this strategy.)

Banker

The banker is a player who might have less time to play and still wants to maintain a good score and or there is no targets worth attacking.This player is smart, and just wishes to build up a nestegg. To bank you need to start off as kind of a build and trader untill level 23 hull, build about 10 planets then use the money form those planet and put them on another planet with alot more defence, so it would be extremely hard to attack. Then just keep Upgradeing ship torp and defend the planet well, making sure to check on it as often as possible, and to keep dumping fighters and torpedos onto it.

(reccomend this strategy to new comers)

Trader

The trader is not a strategy I would recommend for long term games because it has limited growth prospects but will start you off at a great pace. The trader wil produce as many as 40 trade routes and just not stop tradeing between these and upgradeing there hull.

(Strategy reccomended at game start)

Scout

The scout is a decent tactic if you are a newbie. To do this you simply trade untill level 21 hull and then start scouting the galaxy, with your hightened sensors and cloak level, and you sell the information to higher ranked players. It is a good strat if you wish to meet new people and figure out various strategies in the game. Although this will get you into the rankings, it will not win you the game.
