Reinforcements


The defender's related empires can send reinforcements. To do this, they have to build some ships in `Outpost`. Ships stationed in the `Outpost` will be able to response against attacks.
  1. You can have up to 4 stacks of reinforcement ships depending on availability.
    - Maximum of 3 of the largest stacks from Federation members.
    - Maximum of 1 stack from Lord / Vassal empires, this is the stack that was most recently built
    Federation reinforcement may consists of 1-4 stacks if your Lord or Vassals are within the same fed.
  2. Only ships from your empire's outpost will be sent as reinforcement.
  3. You can only build two different stacks of ships in your Outpost.
  4. Only stacks which is equal or less than 22% of your empire's PR will be available as your empire's reinforcement.

How Reinforcement Works?
Let's say your empire's PR is 1 million. One of your systems is attacked (reinforcements will work on all your systems). You are in a federation that has 7 members and only 3 of them have ships in their outpost.
The ships in their outpost are:
Empire A : 220,000 PR stack (i) and 250,000 PR stack (ii)
Empire B : 210,000 PR stack (iii)
Empire C : 200,000 PR stack (iv)
Therefore the server will select stacks (i), (iii) and (iv).


You have 13 vassals and only 2 of them have ships in their outpost.

Empire D : 30,000 PR stack built 5 minutes ago (v)
Empire E : 1,500,000 PR stack (vi) and 190,000 PR stack built 20 minutes ago (vii)

Only stacks v and vii are at or below 22% of your PR, therefore available to you. Stack v, despite being the smaller one, was built most recently and will therefore be selected by the server. Note that when you receive outpost from federation members, unlike outpost from lords and vassals, you receive the largest (in terms of pr) available stacks rather than those that are built most recently.

Tips And Suggestions
Bear in mind that the reinforcement fleets will help other players to defend their system. Building 'easily killed' ships is pointless and can even be detrimental.

It is always suggested that good cooperation from empires are needed. When an empire is out of DP and online, the empire should disband all ships in the Outpost and build offensive ships to attack. While empires which are in DP build ships in your Outpost to protect the Not Protected empire.

It is advised to build reinforcement ships in your Outpost before you log off. This way your empire will save more credits and have high PR to receive reinforcement while providing sufficient reinforcement for your Federation Members and Lord.

When you are out of DP, you will be open to attack. If you have below 50,000 planets it will still be easier to explore rather than to fight for planets. The difficulty of exploring for planets goes up exponentially after 50,000 planets making it more worth while to attack for planets rather than to explore.

You will gain planets only if you attack using Invasion or Retaliation. Planets you will win depends on how powerful the person you are attacking. For more details on winning planets read the Winning / Losing battles section.
