So..the Grox. - Page 2

Megamaff · 04-01-2009, 06:01 PM

I hate the Grox, intefering the middle of important occasions (attacks/allied attacks). I want to get rid of them but ive heard thats near enough impossible. Shame there arent any "black-hole" missiles to just suck up everything Groxy. Main point in post - Is there a super-weapon that can take several planets at once? One doubts it.

Rebecca1208 · 04-01-2009, 07:18 PM

No. but a group of us made a campaign for new spaceship tools. so hopefully one will exist soon.

or one might be in the Galactic Expansion?

Zepp95 · 04-01-2009, 08:12 PM

A selection of rift weaponry would be nice. Transform the star system into a black hole, eh?

Rebecca1208 · 04-01-2009, 08:18 PM

yeh, would be the after effects of a star destroyer

With the amount of players, it'll be over within a few minuites, maybe before half of the people can prepare/travel there. Plus it'll lag like hell, heck i dont think their server(s) can take all of us on at the same time. I thought they were for just storing.

Stevcool5 · 04-01-2009, 11:11 PM

It might work so that you can only connect with your buddies, so it would only be 5 or so people connected. it'd reduce the lag a lil, and not make it be ova so soon.

***WARNING SPOILER ALERT***

the staff of life (or something) has only 42 uses thats what there on about

kamikazikaos · 05-01-2009, 04:54 PM

I have trouble getting anywhere on this game because of stupid bugs but if I manage to get to the centre im just going to build out from there.

josspot · 07-01-2009, 10:41 PM

good idea

ValuJet2564 · 07-01-2009, 10:44 PM

Wouldnt recommend it, it will be Groxed into oblivion, they always attack the planet you own closest to the core

josspot · 07-01-2009, 10:46 PM

saw it will be fun saving it

ValuJet2564 · 07-01-2009, 10:49 PM

If you have a planet with 3 colonies, max turrets on each, + uberturret it can sustain about 4 Grox invasions without repair before it is captured.

THanks. ILl keep that in mind

Zepp95 · 08-01-2009, 03:17 PM

Yeah, I had a small core barricade going on. It was taking forever so I got bored and used my Gaal species to destroy them all. Player vs. Player ftw!

ValuJet2564 · 08-01-2009, 03:31 PM

Never put two of my empires against each other (but of course the Gaal are evil), if you destroy a colony of one of them, is it gone on both saves? Also do you end up getting attacked by your own ships? And which side do uberturrets take???

game1501 · 12-01-2009, 10:30 PM

i can kill the grox by distroying their planets or distroy ther colones i don`t care really ill beat them with one ship lol and some defenders on my colones.

game1501 · 12-01-2009, 10:32 PM

i got a uber turrent on titan in the sol system lol.

game1501 · 12-01-2009, 10:33 PM

i went to sol first and then the center but i got a colony very near their planets but i got a uber turrent lol
if it has troble ill leave it lol.

game1501 · 12-01-2009, 10:35 PM

hey if you copied and scaned their creatures that means u can clone them and share them to the world ha ha lol

spike-5726 · 15-01-2009, 03:07 PM

Yea i wormholed really close.... got their.... and yea..... left again the way i came..... mostly worm hole i used like 4 engergy things and a health.... and the grox havnt so much as sent me a disgruntled letter though they have gone all hostile looking.... this wass..... 20 mins ago..... my home planet still claims i havnt met them.... ahh found out whats happening... because i dont kno then they appear as unknown alien fleet and seem to be blowing up but not cpaturing my colonies

Den1el · 22-01-2009, 10:43 AM

Well, the point is that you can get to neutral with Grox, that ain't really hard, afterwards getting to the center is a lot easier, 'coz you can stop on their own planets and repair/recharge, though it costs a lot more than with other aliens (They will still attack your ship, but they won't attack your colonies). And could anyone say, since the staff of life was already mentioned, is there a chance of recharging it?

Snafu5158 · 04-02-2009, 04:08 AM

The best way to deal with the Grox is to teraform the planets that they hold. Improving their planet's T score eliminates their colonies. Double benefit to you: Grox are not only eradicated but you are then free to place a colony there and mine spice in that system. A 3rd benefit is that the system becomes a safe haven for you in hostile territory.

... that, AND you are one safe jump closer to the center of the galaxy and the wonderous Capitalist God that lives there!
