Attack

An Attack is when one player's fleet is sent to an opposing player's planet, usually for purposes of taking resources. Note, an attack can only take up to 1/2 the resources on a planet. See plunder for more details.

Sending Attacks

There are currently two ways to send an attack. If you know the coordinates of the player you want to attack, you can do it directly from the fleet page. Simply follow these steps:

• Enter the coordinates in the fields at the top.

• Choose your attacking fleet.
• Make sure you have "attack" selected as the mission type at the bottom.
• Hit dispatch.

If you do not know the coordinates, you can find them in the galaxy view and click the "Attack" icon on the far right.

See also Group Attack to invite yourself (ie another one of your colonies), your buddies, and your alliance along for an attack.

As an attack can be a little risky if they have a lot of defense or fleet waiting for you http://www.battlecalc.com/ has several tools that can be used to estimate losses, damage and required recyclers for the debris. It allows you to copy and paste in Espionage reports and then run simulated battles before you actually launch any attacks.

Bashing

Attacks can be carried out at any time, but any player may only attack another planet successfully 6 times in one day. Players may attack other players more than 6 times per day as long as no one planet is attacked more than that. An attack is deemed successful if the result is either a win for the attacker or a draw that results in the attacker getting at least one ship back.
