I think that the best race in the game has to be either the Idgazar or the miranu. The vonian are so weak w/ the exception of the dreadnaught. The adgazari are really strong but I can take them even with my arada. I found out that the easiest way to make money is to take over ships. The best escorts for a newbie are UE fighters. To me they were real easy to catch. I'm now working on catching a UE carrier and a couple of cresecent warships. If you know who the hardest planet is to capture please reply. Also if you can tell me what Earth and Luna send out when you try to capture them thet would be great. Lastly, can you tell me which planet pays you the most per day. :eek:

Uh, the hardest planet to take over is probably Council Station or Voinia. And i would bet that they pay the most too. Luna sends out UE fighters and Earth sends out Destroyers and Fighters. And if this turns into another discussion about which is the best race, you will feel the wrath of search, inc. If anybody except an absolute newbie posted a stupid topic like this I would probably flame their @$$ off. But I posted a stupid topic (albeit, not as stupid as yours) like this when I was a newbie.

Sorry if I seemed harsh, but I've had a bad day today.

You should of said "question" for your topic because you didn't even ask what people thought the best race was, you asked a different question.

Council Station and Voinia isnt that hard to take over if you get the right ship and weapons. I did it with a drednaught and a plasma syphon.

Whew. I thought this was another of those "best Strand" polls.

so, bbatch, you took over Voina with just a plasma siphon as your weapon? I find that hard to imagine, considering the siphon does squat to armor. I bring this up, because I've seen FAAARR too many posts that mention your "Dreadnaught with 2 Plasma Siphons"....

You can't have two plasma siphons!

VICTORY TO THE ZIDAGAR AND UE!

Voinia is not very hard to take over. Space mines work very well with a UE Cruiser. I'd assume Earth would be pretty hard as well as Igadzra (think 20 waves of 5 Igazras).
UE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
