Making 8 SC's, theyll pay for themselves many times over. I predict 5000% profits in the next week.

That's quite a hefty profit! ;D You anywhere near getting LCs yet? I just got mine (and recyclers, of course) in Uni 1, so plenty of good hauls in store for me!

ok how do battles work cause I thought I knew but now I don't I just lost 5 cruisers against a small shield dome, 5 h-lasers, and an ion cannon how is that supposed to work? do defenses get to fire more often than ships?

Each ship, or defense, has a rapid fire rating against certain ships, that means they may fire more than once each round.
I recommend using a battle simulator, such as Speed Sim, Google it, or one of the others, to reduce your losses in battle.

so even if it isn't listed as taking rapid fire, it can still take rapid fire from stuff? Thats bogus

I dont think 5 Cruisers can take out a sheild, 5 HL's, and an IC, even if there isnt any rapid fire.

I didn't think 5 HL's and an IC could take out 5 cruisers, but according to the battle calculator there was a 15% chance......damn the luck

Dont you need like a million? Got LC's yesterday, and 3 HF's. Currently researching Imp Drive 3, hoping for Cruisers by the end of the week. Then I can truly start raiding, found a person near me thats in my 5x range, and is active. ;D

Dont you need like a million? 300k. if there's someone else's fleet is deployed to defend a planet, will it show up in your espianage report? It depends on your espionage tech level.

I have entered a little Cold War with someone, all we do is send probes at each other. xD

This may be a dumb and extremely obvious question but its driving me crazy..... what do the times in parentheses next to planet names mean and why do some planets have them sometimes and others don't and what makes them change?

It's the time in minutes since the last fleet activity. If there's been any within 15 minutes, there's a *, then after that it displays a time right up until 1 hour after the last activity, after which it goes blank again. Activity can be any friendly or enemy fleet actions, like probing or attacking or whatever.

I am currently preparing an assualt on a minor turtle. Need 50 LF's and 5 Cruisers to reduce the casualties as much as possible, but still stay in my price range. =\
