Talk:Debris
Engaging recyclers
So my friend wants to harvest my debris and he sent 2 but will my defences attack them
- No - Harvesting never engages a planets defense or fleet. The planet owner will never even know you were there (other than the debris filed disappearing, but he won't know who).
Diplomacy Mode
Can I harvest debris while in diplomacy mode?
- Yes, it is not considered an act of aggression.
One's own debris
I was recently attacked or should I say slaughtered. There is a great amount of battle debris surrounding my planet. Am I capable of harvesting this debris or is spoils for someone else?
- If you have a spare recycler, you can collect the debris. Otherwise, someone else may grab it.
More debris than I can carry
Ok, say my Dionysus Class Recycler can only carry 20,000 units of cargo and the field I want to harvest has a lot more than that, can I send a cargo ship with the recycler to carry back what the recycler can't hold? Will the recycler “fill” the cargo ship?
- No, cargo ships sent with recyclers can not hold extra debris.
- The correct answer in this case is to send multiple Dionysus ships. You can send other ships along, but they don't do anything.
Newbie and attacked already???
Ok. I just started this game (3 Days ago)and still don't know all the rules yet. I just found out that I have already been attacked and there is debris in orbit around my planet. How is that fair and why should I continue playing if I'm not being given a chance to even learn the game? Shouldn't there be a warming up period before being allowed to be attacked?
- The most likely cause of debris in front of your planet (if in fact you were only playing for 3 days) was left there from someone Else's planet. That is, another player may have had a planet in the slot you now occupy but abandoned it, and the debris would still have been left over.
Defences leave no debris?
Just to clarify, ground defences, like laser & plasma cannons, leave no debris. Only ships (both attacking & defending) can make debris - right?
