    • AUCTIONEER - How does it work ?

      Auctioneer starts every day from 6am untill 23am, each auction lasts randomly between 35 and 45 minutes. You can win on auctions resource boosters or premium items like "Kraken" , "Detroit" or "Newtron" . You can bid in auction with metal , crystal, deuterium and honor points in any proportion.
      Note that provide goods and honor Points will not be refunded!

      Here is an explanation of the auction:


      1. Item to that you can bid.
      2. Current period until the next auction starts/ exact time until the auction ends
      3. Current highest bid.
      4. Number of current bids.
      5. Name the highest bidder.

      To Use:
      A. Choose from what planet / moon you to provide or use honor points.
      B. You can use any type of resources that you have. The course is always in 1 Metal to 1.5 Crystal to 3 Deuterium. 1 honour point is equivalent to 100 metal units. In this box you can enter the amount you want to offer. The "all" button will automatically add the required amount added to dominate the auction. The required amount of resources +1000 metal.
      C. Here you can see how much you've surpassed the previous high bidder, the exact amount of what you offer, the minimum that you can offer and still need to provide how many resources you.
      D. Is an archive of past auctions. Here you can estimate how valuable a particular item is.
    • Pay features - What are Commander and Officers ?


      The payment features Commander and Officers can be activated for a week or for 5000-12500 Dark Matter or they can be activated for 3 months for 5000-12500 Dark Matter .You can buy them at "Recruit Officers".

      The Commander has a few convenience features . For example, it allows the direct - shipping fleets in the galaxy view, you will be able to see the empire view and there will be no ads on the complete account .

      There are 4 other different officers :
      • Admiral - his benefits are Max. fleet slots +2 and Improved fleet escape rate
      • Engineer - his benefits are Halves losses to defence systems and +10% energy production
      • Geologist - his benefit is +10% mine production
      • Technocrat - his benefits are +2 espionage levels and 25% less research time

      In addition there is a bonus of 1 additional fleet Slot , 2 % more energy production , 2 % more mining income and 1 additional espionage level when the Commander and all 4 officers are active simultaneously .


      Accounts with active payment features or residual balances of purchased dark matter will not be deleted for inactivity . Those accounts can be deleted quite normal manually.
    • Half construction time - How does that work with DM and how much costs?

      Shipyard , buildings and research can be shortened with a single click by 50 % of the construction period. So you can finish with a maximum of 2 clicks each order. Here, the price depends on the total duration of the contract . Every half hour costs halving the contract period 750 DM up to a maximum of 72,000 DM (2 days construction period ) at shipyard and buildings and 108,000 DM (3 days construction period ) in research contracts .
    • DIDF(debris into defense) - Why is my debris field smaller than expected ?

      In Deff into the debris field - Unis is also known to 30 % of the destroyed defensive units goes into the debris field . But here's a small change when the attacked player have an Engineering Officer. See also : Pay features- What are Commander and Officers ?

      If a player who is attacked has a Engineering officer than his defense losses will be 50% smaller so Debris field will be also 50% smaller. Defense rebuild will be 85% instead of the normal 70%.

      Some simulators provide a way to determine how much destroyed defenses in % will go into the debris field. If in doubt , it is advisable to plan the attack on another player in order to prevent unwanted losses with the reduced profit .
    • Dark Matter – What is this and what is it used for?

      Dark matter is the premium currency in the game. You can get it by payment methods in Recruit Officers you can also find dark matter on expeditions. Dark matter can be used for these premium features:
      • Commander & Officers
      • Merchant
      • Premium Items
      • Scrap Merchant
      • Relocation of planets
      • To half construction time
      • Purchase of resources


      The game distinguishes between purchased and found dark matter. Only the bought Dark Matter protects against an account deletion by inactivity. Please note that always bought Dark Matter is first exhausted. If you move the mouse over the DM icon in the game, you will be able to see how much of the existing DM is bought or found.
    • HONOR - When is fight honorable/ dishonorable/ Neutral?


      It must be distinguished above all between battles between 2 players and the attack / defense of several players in the federation.

      When is attack at a target of attack is honorable, if one of these conditions is met:
      • The attacker has at the time of the struggle less military points than his goal.
      • The attacker has at the time of the struggle within a limited framework more military points as the target. Ie .:
      • The aim has at the time of the battle, more than 50% of my military points.
      • The aim has only up to 10 military points less than the attacker (only relevant when Uni-start) at the time of the fight.
      • The goal is the time of struggle no more than 100 military ranks behind me
      • The aim has at the time of the fight a bandit ranking.

      Similarly, the same rules apply for the defender. Moreover, the fight against Buddy's or alliance members is always neutral. Whether an attack against another player will be honorable, may also at the marking (hp) are detected in the galaxy view.

      In association an attack is honorable, if:
      • The sum of the military points of defender at the time of the fight is not less than 50% of the total military points of attacker.
      • One of the goals was a bandit ranking.

      In Defense of the Association a fight is honorable, if:
      • The sum of the military points of attacker at the time of the fight is not less than 50% of the total military points of defender.
      • At least one of the attackers is Bandit.
    • Expeditions - What is it and how can I do that?


      The expedition is a fleet mission started by the approach of the 16. positions in each system, with different results:
      • You can find resources. (only one type)
      • You can find dark matter.
      • You can find ships that can be retained. (these give quite normal points)
      • You can find a free trader.
      • Man encounters pirates or aliens, and must fight against them.
      • The return is delayed by an unexpected event.
      • The return will be accelerated by an unexpected event.
      • The fleet will disappear completely.
      • During an Item events can also be found mine and acceleration booster items.
      • Nothing happens.

      To start expeditions, one must research "Astrophysics" at least to level 1.
      Then one can any fleet (Esp. probes alone are not enough) to send out in the fleet menu for expedition and this set the desired hold time.
      The maximum number of expedition fleets is the square root of astrophysics level, the maximum holding period, the level of astrophysics.

      The longer the holding period and the larger the fleet, the greater the chance of an event.
      But this opportunity also depends on how often the position has already been served in recent times. In frequented Expeditions positions the chance is lower than in unvisited positions. Information about obtained if you send an espionage probe with the expedition fleet. In Expedition report then is somewhat circumscribed, as is a charged position.

      Recommended fleets:
      Depending on how many points Place 1 in the universe has, recommended these fleets for the expedition:

      # 1 <10k: 1SC
      10k <# 1 <100k: 42 LCs + 1 Esp. probe
      100k <# 1 <1M: 100 LCs + 1 Esp. probe
      1M <# 1 <5M: 150 LCs + 1 Esp. probe
      5M <# 1 <25M: 200 LCs + 1 Esp. probe
      25M <# 1 <50M: 250 LC + 1 Esp. probe
      50M <# 1 <75M: 300 LC + 1 Esp. probe
      75M <# 1 <100M: 350 LC + 1 Esp. probe
      # 1> 100M: 417 LC + 1 Esp. probe
    • FIELDS


      Fields specify the place on a planet. The number after the " / " indicates the total available number fields , the number before shows how much you have already spent. Each level of a building requires a field if all the fields are full, they can be expanded using the Terraformers or with Premium Item Fields. Researches, ships and defenses do not need fields .

      The number of fields is calculated from the diameter of the planet :

      Fields = ( ( diameter of the planet / 1000 ) ^ 2 )
    • FIELDS - I have colonized a planet that has very few fields - can I get more fields?


      The number of fields of a planet can be increased by using the Terraformers or premium Items Fields. All levels of Terraformer give 5 additional fields.

      Since the Terraformer but is quite expensive, it is usually more sensible to abandon small planet and to retain only large planets. Which fields Number "necessary" is, is a matter of taste. For some players, enough are 180 fields because they don't build some Facilities, while others abandon every planet that has less than 200 fields.

      The greatest chance of large planets have been in positions 6-9. An overview of average values ​​can be found here: OGame Wiki - planet sizes

      Another way to expand its number of fields is on the acquisition of an item at the store. Under the sub-item "structure" you can purchase item.. The bronze planet field brings 4 fields for 75,000 Dark matter, the silver planet field brings 9 fields for 150,000 Dark Matter and the gold planet field brings 15 fields for 300,000 Dark Matter.
    • - Tactical retreat- fleets When flee before fighting? -


      Tactical retreat is a feature added in the Origin Universe on pioneers.ogame.org. It makes a defending fleet "flee" if the attacking fleet has more than five times as many points as the defending fleet. Espionage Probes, Solar Satellites, and Death Stars are unable to flee, and defense is not counted in the calculation. The defending fleet will also not flee if there is not enough deuterium present on the planet. The amount of deuterium needed to flee is displayed along with the other options on the fleet tab.

      Tactical Retreat can be set to trigger at 5:1 or Never for regular players, and players with Admiral can set it to trigger at 3:1 or 4:1 as well.

      As far as I can tell, the equation used to determine fleet point ratios is:


      Retreat Ratio Fleet Points = Fleet points of combat ships + (Fleet points of cargo ships / 4)


      This has been tested only three times and holds for Small Cargo Ships, Large Cargo Ships, Light Fighters, Heavy Fighters, and Cruisers.

      If a defending fleet is able to retreat due to the used ratio then it will use as much dueterium as it needs to get away form the planet just for the second while the planet gets attacked and the fleet will then return to the planet after the attack, this will also send a messgae to the defending player notifying him on how much deuterium is used in the flee.

      Questions:

      Does this equation hold for other types of ships?
      What do Solar Satellites and Espionage Probes count for in points?
      Is this equation even accurate?
      Where does the defending fleet flee to?

      Answers:

      There are only 3 categories of ships:
      Combat ships (obviously all fighters, cruisers, battleships, bomber usw.). All of them count 100% of their production costs.
      Civil ships (recycler, cargos, colonyships). All of them count 25% of their production costs.
      Defense, solarsats, probes don't count at all.
      The deut-consumption (allowing a fleet to escape) formula is given by:
      Deutconsumption = 0.5*Fleetholdingcosts for one hour
    • Research – Why is it useful to research stages further than required?

      Any stages you research give you points, but some also provide an extra bonus:

      Espionage Technology: The higher the stage in comparison to others, the less spy probes are needed to see everything of an enemy’s planet. Furthermore, the chance for successful counterespionage increases, if others spy you.

      Computer Technology: Increases the number of fleets you can send off at once. There are always (Computer Technoloby + 1) Slots available.

      Weapons, Shielding and Armour Technology: For every stage, your attack, the shield strength and the shell of all units (ships ans defences) is increased by 10% of the basic value. Any research done, affect alle fleets immediately, even if they are already on their way.

      Combustion drive: every stage raises the speed of cargos, light fighters, recyclers and spy probes by 10%

      Impulse drive: every stage raises the speed of heavy fighters, cruisers, colony ships, bombers and small cargos (with at least stage 5 of the impulse drive) by 20%. Furthermore, the range of interplanetary missiles is calculated with it. (Number of solar systems = (stage of impulse drive * 5)-1).

      Hyperspace drive: increases the speed of batte ships, destroyers, death stars and bombers (with at least stage 8 of hyperspace drive) by 30%

      Astrophysics: the higher you research this, the more planets you can colonize. (Number of planets = 1+ round up(stage / 2)) In addition, the duration of an expedition can be extended by one hour for each stage (Number of hours possible = stage), also the number of expedition slots is determined (Number of expedition slots = root(stage))

      Energy Technology: raises the energy gained by fusion reactors.

      All other research only have to be researched as far required for all the buildings they are needed for.
      Example: researching Laser Technology higher than stage 12 makes no sense as this stage fulfils the requirements for the battle cruiser. Any further stages won’t provide any advantages.
    • - RESEARCH - How does an Intergalactic Research Network? -


      The Intergalactic research network connects with every new level of another lab with the research-based laboratory. The respective highest research laboratories are always connected to each other and there will be researched with the speed of the stage laboratories which corresponds to the sum of the construction stages of any interconnected laboratories. The research is done correspondingly faster. If the network is research higher, more laboratories are involved accordingly. For any further explored stage Intergalactic Research Network, another laboratory is hooked up, so that applies:

      Number of interconnected laboratories = stage of IRN + 1

      When you see orange triangle ( ) on the left side, that means your Email address has not been validated.

      When you put your mouse pointer on that triangle you will see pop-up message:


      You need to validate your email address in two cases:
      1. When you make a new account
      2. When you change email on account

      1. When you make a new account you will automaticly get email from OGame with validation link:


      After clicking on validation link you will be redirected to your new registered account. And you will notice that orange triangle ( ) disappeared, that means that you have successfully validated your Email address.


      2. When you change Email address on OGame account you will again notice orange triangle ( ) , that means that your email needs to be validated.
