pre-warp!

[Shadow Hunter]

can someone tell me what exactly a pre-warp world is and what the purpose of having one is what can they do and is it benifical? thanks

[Metody I The Evil]

Well, they for once hold new technologies that aren't implemented in the game yet... Some people say that there are some production facilities & stuff... I've never found such a thing...

And, besides, on a pre-warp you can station your shipyard by using a pioneer-ship...

metody if they hold new tech and stuff how does one go about getting the tech?

[Metody I The Evil]

If they hold new technology, you have to:

1. Send a fleet there
2. Not research anything

If you're researching, you'll have to wait, and that's usually dangerous

When you've reached the planet, the new research appears like an ordinary one - in the "Research" section. Then you simply start it and you can remove the fleet afterwards...

Thanks a bunch metody you have been alot of help.

[Shadow Hunter]

oh yeah one more thing metody if a fleet is already sitting at the pre-warp can you still gain the tech or do you fight first? and once the option comes up in the research screen can you leave the planet and research it from your home base or do you have to be at the pre-warp to do so.

[Captain Starlight]

You only need to start your research at the planet, it then continues like normal research. You must have research free when u land on the planet in order to start straight away.

But as soon as u have started u can leave, in fact it is usually a good idea!!

At the moment there is no research available on pre warp worlds but, I think there will be soon. You can check in new ship and game updates at the top of the forum.

i think, if you wanna get the ships available there, it's not necessary that you're not researching anything at the moment.
if you have manpower free, you can get them. you may recycle vessels you build and have at your base and use the "freed" mp as crew for the ships found on the pw-world.

I ment RESEARCHES, not ships... I've never found production places , do they give you to build existing ships which you normally can't or new/old removed ones?

i didn't find research facilities yet, metody - only production places where they "offer" some 10 fighters or evasors or something like that for your immediate use (you just need free mp, not to wait for hours 'cause they're already build).

Ahh, like joining creatures in Heroes? Cool...

Yet, another question - Can you take the same fleet the second time you visit the planet?

/So does it replenish? /

And yet there is just 1 approved research - the Big Battleship /or Titan/, and it's not yet posted on a planet as if it was, in the game updates there would be a post telling that the ship can be found on pre-warp planet xxxxx at xxx/yyy/zzz....

so let me see if i have this correct there currently is no tech on pre-warps. and that if there was free ships it would be posted and there i would need to have freed up mp. is that a first come first serve or is there enough for everyone?

[Captain Starlight]

The ships on pre warp worlds were a feature of last round I think, I have not heard of any this round.

And it was always first come first serve, like 10 fighters and 4 destroyers etc.

[Metody I The Evil]

Well they are shown in Communication -> Planets; You find them like standard planets - via probes

BTW last round it was actually cool that the admins left 3-4 inventions on a single planet, I think it became more popular than the Black Hole

ok thanks to all.

[Shadow Hunter]

metody what is so special about the black hole? is there something there i should go and check out?

[Metody I The Evil]

The black hole is the biggest battleground /or batllespace if you prefer / in the universe... It brings the one who holds it for 24 hours +1000 points /whether it is an alliance or a person/, if it is an alliance all members gain some points... I'm not sure how the points are distributed, but that's it... It brings you points...

But you must survive after you arrived though, as THAT is the place where your incommings can be half the length of your con-list, and the confrontations can vary to 10 /cause if there are more, you wouldn't survive /
