Is there any advantage to having contol over the balck hole?
such as,

the alliance NeutralZone has control over the Black Hole at 500/500/50

I would guess there is because its listed.

holding any scoreplanets gains ur alliance points

BH-1000pts per day

the other two-600 points per day

these points are evenly distributed between u and ur alliance members

So alliances battle over control of these points. I suppose an alliance would need to be strong to hold control?

No it doesn't.

Just join some alliance that goes for score planets occasionally or that works in good team structure.
- Watch and learn.
- Lose pts, and learn.
- Discover some good trics and advices and learn.
- Be creative with fleet setups and learn.
- In the end you will also become more active and you can start become a good player.

Just keep on having fun, set your own goals and be creative.

Good luck,

Rob

LOL the most people there:
- Bunch of idiots and multis sending in fleets blindly.
- PFIU, is big bunch of newbies but active and willing to learn thus succesfull.
- Neutralzone. A few experienced players.

i dont really give a shit about the scoreplanets now

i always leave a dsp on the hole

but apart from that

its whack

also

it gives away who is in what alliance

but its worth having the extra 1000 points

if you cant score them from battles

Well scoreplanets are always a nice bonus but you would rather make a good fleet and attack someone

you know you can win 5000 points per battle

We at PIFU took quite a few points out of the hole and the Neb as well. The fact we had base stations within 10 hours greatly helped . Also the fact that we would do it in shifts . Never did we ever try to Dominate the hole so only ever used enough just to keep it interesting. The fact that wars were going all around us and we found ourselves without enemy after TLC disbanded also helped our reign.

It can be a tough gig to play on a new player and you can either make or lose. If you find you are winning more than you are losing...well your doing something right.

-TO- held the hole for a record time however they used a unified defence utilizing min 15,000 mp spread evenly across the classes. There was not the will or organization to put together the needed fleets to crack them. They died of boredom.

NZ hold a record on a score planet....Nebula I think and were content to gain the record for longest seige. The competition was not near as stiff there as at the BH I think.

Score planets are worthwhile and satisfying if you can take command on your own and hold it for even long enough to make some points. You must be at a score planet for 24 hours before it starts to pay out.

The answer is a coffin, headstone or cemetary plot but that is really off topic.

Oedipous, or Oedipos, or sometimes even spelled as Oedipus.
