Go to the market and place what you can for sale. (place items cheaper then current to ensure a quick sale) 4. Wait for your items to sell and show up in your credit reserves. I have sold what I can and I am still in debt, what do I do? Even though you are still in debt after selling things in the market, there are still a couple of options left. 1. If you have a Lord, you can ask he/she to send you credits to help you get out of debt. 2. If you do not have a Lord see if someone is willing to take you as a vassal and help you out of debt. 3.

(especially on the Daily and Hourly) How Do I Increase Empire LevelFactors that affect empire level:1. Planet count. 2. Population count. 3. Vassals planet and population count. 4. Paid accounts receive an additional +1 to their empire level. Empire levels are worked out by the total combination of planets and population that you and all of your vassals have. Empire levels are laid out as follows: Level 1 : 0 Level 2 : 1,000 Level 3 : 5,000 Level 4 : 10,000 Level 5 : 50,000 Level 6 : 100,000 Level 7 : 500,000 Level 8 : 1,000,000 Level 9 : 5,000,000 Level 10 : 10,000,000 Level 11 : 50,000,000 Level 12 : 100,000,000 Level 13 : 500,000,000 Level 14 : 1,000,000,000 Level 15 : 5,000,000,000 Level 16 : 10,000,000,000 How Do I Increase System DefenceSystem defence is affected by a number of things:1. More Systems Creating another system will give each system below it an additional defence bonus based on the system type. Generally, this is only a bonus of 1 for each system above it but certain systems such as Dark increase it by more. The amount dependent on the level of the system. 2. Upgrading Systems Upgrading systems give better defence in some cases. Read the manual on System List for more details on the defence points of each system. 3. System Defence Projects The System Defence Projects add points of defence to each system. However the addition points is not cumulative. Only the project with the highest bonus will be applied at any one time. System defence increases the hull of your ships in that system by the given percentage. However without ships it amounts to nothing. System defence will also decrease the chances of being successfully sabotaged by another player. |
