What is the best way to go about building planets...like several in adjacent sectors, several planets in a single sector, spreading them far apart, or what? Also, what does the little bar under a planet that goes from red to yellow (?) mean?

[Helmut]

...and how do you get sector defenses?

I just make planets everywhere. No matter where you do them, someones gonna find them. Just make sure you put like 8-15 million fighters on each, unless you don't care if you lose them.

The yellow bar is just an indicator of the ranking of the owner. The further the bar goes, the more powerful the owner of the planet is.

To get sector defences, just click on devices, then fighters or mines. It'l give you an option to put out a certain amount of fighters and make them attack/toll.

can i create a trade route from a special port to a planet that buys fighters? It always seems to do colonists if i create one between a special and my planet.

i create 5 planets in 1 sector - and moves about 30k colonists to each.. While im waiting for a round to end, i put 10m credits on each. after the round, i build bases on each and change the %'s to create fights/torpedoes and energy (and lots left over for credits...)... but sense its late in the game, might want to move more fights to it...

30k colonists? Put 10 million colonists on each. Then create your bases and load up with fighters. Go to your trade routes and then modify trade route settings, you can check either torps, colonists, or fighters. I set my %s to 0 5 0 5 for production and then 30 and 15 for fighters and torps. That leaves 45% for credit production. If you want to keep your planets so nobody will take them, load up with 15-25m fighters on each.

I am new to this server and 8-15 million fighters defending a planet is nothing! try more like 3-trillion! yes thats 3,000,000,000 with an additional 1,000,000,000 torps....unless you play with the sub-orb attack then you CANT have enough EVER.....matter of fact i had a planet i was still building up and it had 10,000,000,000 fighters and it STILL got taken! not on this server but another one I play....6 different servers, 6 different ships, 6 different alliances, dang I hope I dont lose my mind......um....wait.....I hope I dont lose MORE of my mind, lol

[Speed]

With a new game, 8-15 million fighters is plenty to keep everything away for a while.

[Blunt]
