AKO Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I remember that Pete or Russ somewhere mentioned that dropped empires do defend themselves and do a lot more than just stockpile resources. Imagine everything is going into building divisions and Bastions on the surface, researching only CIDS and other weaponry. Hard time taking that homeworld, I suppose.

MadMartinB Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Dropped empires build some defenses but hey..an additional 650,000 pop is always nice Of course I am focusing on the active players in my sphere of influence and am coaching/mentoring newbies such as TOMA on how to get out of their own system.

Bloodletter Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Kind of a half-witted side thought: Is it really worth it to try to take over a dropped position? Things I'd need to know: 1) How tough are the defenses? 2) How long would it take? 3) An assessment of my particular political situation at the time After all, the dropped player presumably won't attack you....what harm is there in letting them rot? (aside from the fact that you are allowing the position even MORE time to develop defenses) Perhaps those resources are better spent dealing/defending against any active players in your neighborhood first? A burning question ----- does a dropped position build any defenses at all? Or just stockpile resources? I know its been asked an not answered :lol: Just throwing it out there At one time they were supposedly going back and changing the orders to make the so called dead empires produce things, but who knows if that is still happening and if they go back and modify them every now and then.

MadMartinB Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I believe Dead Empires continue to produce. Wouldn't it be nice to visit a 1000 Colonial berthign stockpile.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Hmmmm Well it begs the question? Is all that effort in blasting through layers of Bastions and Imperial Guards worth it? An inactive player will have EVERYTHING concentrated on the homeworld. An active player will most likely have used resources to build things like CBs, Fuel Tankers and Exploration ships....
