How to effective attack a player

[jerimaya]

**sigh** how do you effectively attack a player... Every one i've attacked managed to get online and escape with their fleet...
Am 30K+ resource points now but less than 1K in battle points...

Am not a bulfleet general so i don't see what is the last time someone gets online...
And i don't want to attack those damn defenders because i'll be losing more points than i'll gain in recycling...

Any advice?

Oh yeah, should i join the Death Match when Uni2 resets? I'm still new in Bulfleet... x10 resources... Building mines will make you look like a farm...
Attacking every hour is too tiring...
And i gonna bet my money, the top two players in Uni3 are miners
Top 1 less than 6K battle points but 384K resource point...

Its nice to be a miner when you are on top but staying on top in the beginning as a miner is the problem

Not particular ... It is really hard to catch on someone about your points or less ... People are cautious and they protect themselves well. Those who don't protect their fleets are being destroyed about 7-10 k points. Check for forgotten fleets at night ! If you have the time ... If you see an enemy and calculate that the profit will be more than great, build a colony near him and watch him ... Day and night - that's bulfleet is all about - prowling for a prey ...

If you play in Uni 2, you don't have to "join" the DeathMatch - Everybody playing 'til the end of one Universe "joins" the DeathMatch - it's in the same universe the admins just increase the mines's production 10 times and ship building too So join ... For sure, it's fun

Aside from that:
Speed and Timing.

I once had an attack reaching me just 2 seconds before my war fleet would have returned to defend the motherland - I was so pissed, I could have nuked that small-time miner!
Also, it was happened to me that my war fleet was 5 seconds ahead of an attacker. I knew the attacker is going to tear my apart no matter what I send him so I was pissed because I didn't manage to save all my fleet in the 5 seconds that I had to send them somewhere safe.

Also, speed upgrades will pay off very fast. When I was slow, all the nice (i)'s that I was hunting kept always getting empty right before I arrived.

Last but not least - wake up early and launch an attack before he wakes up. People usually send their fleets and spend their resources right before they go to bed so if you attack in 1:00 AM - no chance you will find a normal player. In the morning, his fleet may be back and his res are stacked up

For me those players are at the next level ... I guess when some of my 'collegues' look forward this topic they will try to give you an explanation ... But it takes much skills and calculations to do such hits
