ogame.orgYou want a moon?
Getting a moon is expensive, so don’t
expect to get one early on. It’s also a matter
of luck. I managed to
get my moon when I failed to fleet save and lost enough ships to
produce a 4% chance.
For every 100,000
resources dumped into
the debris field, there is a 1% chance it will form a moon, up to a max
of 20%. The debris that will form a moon is ONLY the debris from that
attack. That is, if someone attacks you, and leaves 100K resources
lying around, you get a 1% chance of a moon forming at that time. If
you are again attacked, and this attack also creates 100K resources in
a debris field, you again get a 1% chance; the previous debris doesn’t count towards your chances.
NOTE:
Any resources that are sent during an attack are simply lost if that
fleet is
destroyed. They will NOT end up in the Debris field, and do
not increase your chances of a moon.
And remember… that
Debris field goes to the defender during the battle. So if you send in
an attacking fleet to me, and I destroy that incoming fleet, then you
lose those resources and I get the chance at a moon.
So there’re a couple ways to get a moon.
First,
you can get ‘lucky’ like I did, and get fleet crashed. In order to get
that 4% chance, I had to lose over 1.2M resources in destroyed ships
(remember that 30% of the resources from a ship go into the debris when
it’s destroyed).
You can also work with someone else to try to
get a moon, either by paying them to fleet crash you, or trading fleet
crashes with them (There’s currently a thread in the Plots and Plans
section of the forum where we’re doing this). For a 1% chance, 84 Light
Fighters is the most cost efficient fleet to lose (as it has the
highest metal to crystal ratio, and metal is relatively cheap).
Bear
in mind that crashing to get a moon isn’t against game rules, as long
as the resultant debris field doesn’t give you more than enough to get
a 20% chance. Otherwise, it could violate the rules against pushing.
