Universe 3 - How can they grow so fast so early

[mayaman]

Hi am a newbie here in Bulfleet. Been able to play a few months ago but i stop bcoz of internet connection problem. Am just wondering how this top 10 players grow so fast? Are they premium account with freebies?

Or they are attackers and have the luck of attacking inactive players with much resources and few / nothing defense... ?

BUT NOTE: they are players who has 600+ resource score but not a single War Points... I just want to know how it is possible to do this? Get 600+ resource score but not a single war points???
This i want to know... It's not likely that they are attacking coz if they do, they'll meet a defense sooner or later and will get War Points...
Do you think that they have Colony by now??? Is the Colony causing this high resource score?

I'm currently just half of them That's why am asking... I try to login as much as i can and develop my mines then defense...

Currently I have Metal Mine lvl 15, Crystal Mine lvl 12, Gas Mine lvl 9, Robots Factory lvl 5 (@Metal Mines)

I have some Laser Cannons, many VVG Rockets and Laser beacon... I have also Cargo ship so i can save my resources (My defense will build up 60%) and I hardly leave 2000 resources so i don't think they'll target me yet...

I have the tech to build Colony... Resources is almost there... Will this boost my resource points?

How in the world did undertakerX reach 613 resource points with out a single battle points??? Is his mines level 20+ or something?
& the rest of the gang (InsideTheFire, Maniac, etc) Just want to know the secret here ... Any technics or advise?

Only fools build on mines but don't build defenses... so i don't expect an answer of "they keep on attacking inactives" because if they are attacking, they should at least get battle points... And in actives don't grow as fast as 2.5 coefficient...

Well ... How can I be more preciseful ! These players, you know, they play a lot and they have played the game for years and use strategies that have been worked out ! You say
[quote=""mayaman""]I try to login as much as i can and develop my mines then defense...[/quote]
If their mine is ready they are On to start the next level ... If they have a research coming to be finished - they are online to strat up the next one ! I can't explain it myself - otherwise I'd be about at their points
They don't exactly build fleet to attack and get WarPoints - I guess they end up like you - with deffence turrets ...
And another planet (a colony) is a decision but it's not the answer ! You can see who has the most number of planets ot Stats by the falling menu you choose Planets > Click Show ... And you can see who has more (and how much more) than 1 !

I guess that when you get a little more experience you will find your own strategy. I've been playing for 3 and a half years now and I never get enough time to perfect my skills ... So I've given up the Statistic's aim and play for fun and battle history

In Universe1 I very rarely see inactive players with any defense. If there is no defense to attack, there are no War Points.

There is a strategy called "Saven" that you can SEARCH for on this forum. Only Bombers and Death Stars can damage Mines.
So, you do not build any Defenses. Instead you spend your resources on Cargoships and MegaCargos and at least 1 Recycler.
Load all of your resources into your ships and attack an inactive player. Your mines will be safe while your fleet is gone.
The recycler is the slowest cheap ship. Having one slows your fleet down.
When you want to take a nap, send your fleet away, set the speed to something like 40% and it will take several hours for the fleet to complete the mission.

When you get big enough to build a Colony, build it around 50 Solar Systems away. Then you can use the Transport or Staion fleet options and keep your fleet flying between your two planets.

While your fleet is gone, someone could attack your planet, but they can only take half of what is there when they attack, so put it all in your fleet and fly away!

Of course ... The collegue before me is right ! But for that stage of development there are no (i)-s to be attacked ... They show up on the 14th day of inactivity ... So far if you don't have def turrets you don't need to save your flying fleet ... except it is only cargos or Megacargos !

Okey, I'll give you some example... 'cause I can play (and have played) just like these guys here...

You login as much as you can? - they stay logged in nearly 20 hours; play at night, too; etc.

Universe 3 has all "paid" menus... The Bank, the Specialties... if you want to be on the top - you have to activate your specialties (the max. is 2 - Miner and Engineer are the best for nice start) as soon as the universe is started. You have to Vote on every 24 hours. You have to BUY resources (menu Government) on every 48 hours,... and use the bank, too. And of course - have a good strategy to research the recycle ship faster than everybody else (the bank can be very helpful with the gas, if you know what I mean ). Catching good R's and A's (Recycles and Asteroids) may "launch" you at least at top15. Other possibility is to research the Colony ship... then - you know... :>

And one more advice... defense SUX, bro . Even pirate ships (fighters) are better to play with. The advice is - don't build anything which can't fly .
