How about adding this in an upcoming update -

Space Pirate Raids with the following:
1) Ability to trade with them
2) Ability to negotiate peace (Diplomacy) when you spot an attack
3) If they attack must provide option to allow for a moon shot
4) Ability to trade fleet

If you want me to elaborate on any of the ideas above please feel free to ost your comments, I am brimming with ideas...

Good imagination. But I do not like it. The game needs to remain human. Play CoD or BF or the game you like online. Then play against the computer. Then feel the difference.

lol and fleet escape by GF bot is keeping the game human ?

grizz I hope you are not taking the other discussion personnel. And as I said. I do not think that fleet escape is good at all.

I agree - I think that OGame is a game of humans vs humans and should stay that way.

OK, you guys are missing the point here....
We have expiditions, right. And that is great.
But a space raid once in a while from a pirate or alian or bot, whatever you wish to call it... would add some edge to the game world. Being raided by another player is as predictable as waking up in the morning and breathing. You know it is going to happen. If you leave your fleet at your planet because you forgot to fleet save, then you very likely going to get hit...
The idea of a pirate raid is it can happen any time no matter if your fleet is present or not...
It is not about if you have defence or not, not about how big your fleet is so there could be a moon chance, just simply a random raid by a random bot which you need to either prepare yourself for or not!
