Expeditions...good/bad...why

    ok i posted this thread to find out if expeditions were bad or good so if you want to post suggest wether expeditions are good or bad and give a reason

    expeditions are pretty much shitty as hell. thats what it comes down to.


    the gains are so minuscule. its pointless.


    figures gameforge would spend years coming up with this


    they are such morons they cant think of something more intelligent than this crap <_<


    warning ftw?


    *doesnt care*

    That's completely not true!!


    I know someone who does expeditions everyday and sends enough ships that he has gotten over 400k in metal and another time over 500k and then next over 600k....all in metal but that's not to be laughed as minisucle...

    Your expedition discovered a small asteroid from which some resources could be harvested.
    You got Metal units of 397.920.

    On a tiny moon with its own atmosphere your expedition found some huge raw resources storage. The crew on the ground is trying to lift and load that natural treasure.
    You got Metal units of 504.600.


    I have level 4 expedition tech and the fleet i sent out on this expedition had:


    37 large cargo, 1,381 light fighters, 6 heavy fighters, 6 cruisers, and 37 battle ships

    Your expedition found an ancient, fully loaded but deserted freighter convoy. Some of the resources could be rescued.
    You got Metal units of 611.424.

    This isn't from me but seriously... if youknow how to work an expedition in your favour the outcomes are often more positive then negative.

    I don't like expeditions. When a worm hole can appear and take your entire fleet it is not good.. I have not confiormation on that but Also have had other alliance members lose RIPs on expeditions.. To me the risk is not worth the gain..

    I feel expeditions are valuable, you often get metal, or extra ships, mainly lightfighters, heavys, small and large cargos, and esp probes. On one expedition i found 400 probes, I got almost 4000 to date.



    For expeditions i wouldnt advise using deathstars, just use cargoes and light fighters. I use those, the few times im attacked, I only fight heavys or light fighters. I think if you use stronger ships you may sometimes get attacked by those same class of ships

    I don't think expeditions are a good thing, they turn the tables to luck much more than before and also finding a destroyer while on 8k points can't be any good can it?

    after some months


    already gained:


    5000 probes
    1500 lf
    1500 sc
    300 lc
    some bigger ships


    5 million metal
    2 million crystal
    1 million deut


    so i don't have problems with expeditions, don't have much attacks with pirates and aliens, only much problems with: the expidition need more time to return.

    I made a HoF on Piraten in Uni 25 when I sent my fleet one time, I sent my entire fleet by mistake. Lost some ships.


    I found about 25 battleships so far in 13, 1000 probes, 1 heavy and light fighter. About the same in 25 with less battleships.
    some dark matters and some resource.


    Expedition should never be used for fleetsave.


    there is already a thread about expeditions, voice your opinion there.


    I'm closing this before it becomes a flamefest towards others or GF
