Just thought this handy tip would come in useful to some of the new players.

When sending 3 fleets from three different planets at a target with all their fleet at home, whilst a good tactic which should make your target run away, It is also a good idea that at least one of the attacking fleets contains something to steal roids.

good point. Or I could retal against all three at the same time

Instead I chose the "erm im sorry but you seem to have forgotten your pods " in game message facility to one of the planets.

Im sure its a coinsidence that the three recalled at 14:47, 14:48 & 14:49.

They are obviously new people cause their planets are all in the 16-25 position catagory.

At least I have done my bit to help them learn how to play the game. I feel refreshed and renewed.

yea, especially when 3 attackers it does, those 3 must have been really tired.......

Heres another one.

When doing the old "send your fleet away before the tick so that the attacker thinks youve run and when the attack recalls one of his two attacking fleets before he lands recall your fleet so you catch and kill his pods " trick.

You must make sure that the game time is in complete syncronization with your pc clock or you will miss the tick and only get back in time for tick three

Thank you. I am sure you have now dispelled the vast fog of confusion that has been lingering about the perceptive capabilities of 90% of ppl.

And also make sure his kill fleet is recalled

or you could get defense for the in para/cluster attackers you will likely get next tick, because s/he just launched their multi escort planets at you.
