Welcome to Ogame, home of pubbie tears, excitement and watching timers. Looking for a great game to play at work? Or a game you can manage for 1-3 minutes at a time throughout the day? LOOK NO FURTHER
en.ogame.gameforge.com/
Server: SELECT UNITED KINGDOM UP TOP FROM THE DROP DOWN THEN SELECT THE XALYNTH SERVER
There's not as many people playing UK servers so we can reap the tears of pubbie starships.
Okay, so you're not actually going to be destroying or making starships that you'll be able to pilot like that. The construction of said starship looks something more like this.
With that being said, the game at it's essence is very fun and rewarding. You set construction for resources, fuel, technologies, research facilities and fleets and a timer will count down until it finishes it. Basically this game is great to hop on, do a few things and go from there.
You enter this game by building resources and defenses at first. I recommend using this guide: ogame.wikia.com/wiki/Quick_Start_Guide
Another build which is very similar sg-wguide.webs.com/beginnersguide.htm#703457530
After you get the basics down the first thing I would recommend that these guides don't say is build a rocket or two for defense because you WILL be attacked.
Here is a good build strategy on basic defense building: ogame.wikia.com/wiki/Defense_Build_Strategies
To join my goon alliance click the Alliance tab and search for SDCGOONS or GOON. My name is Mern.

TIPS AND THINGS TO MAYBE READ
Everyone make sure to check your mail and do the tutorial, you get rewards from doing it! Gonna put that into the OP but it's how I communicate with each of you. Just a note [GOON] continues to grow we keep getting new applicants! Soon we will be dominating space. I recommend to anyone interested in starting to PVP and raid to look around your galaxy for white named players and hover your mouse over their name and make sure their rank is around the same as yours or lower. Send out espionage probes and depending on the information you receive you'll be able to tell if you can farm that planet for resources. Once you attack you need to send a supply ship with your fleet to carry the loot back. If theres tons of loot carry more than one. The past 2 nights I've just been using this neighboring planet as a resource farm, sending in light planes and a supply ship to carry back his sweet precious loot. Build more supply ships for more resources hauling!
Tip: Don't do what I just did and start flipping thru galaxy pages trying to figure out how that works. I guess each page swap uses up deuterium! :science:
Research computer technology allows you to send out multiple fleets. For example I'm farming two separate colonies at the moment, I've brought in 100k+ metal 70k+ crystal and 20+ deut today. One guy I'll send 3 light fighters 1 heavy and 3 cargoes and the same to the other and bam free farming. Do some espionage to make sure there's no defenses and they keep supplies stocked.
Follow the tutorial by clicking the question mark on the top left of the page, completing those gives instant rewards.
To those applying in the app field no need to put SA user profile info, this alliance is being shared with coworkers of mine as well so it isn't necessary to be a goon to join this.
Another thing to mention is energy management. On the resources tab page on the bottom right you can control energy management for example if you had too much metal but need crystal and not enough power, decrease metal production and bam wham.
It is possible for an alliance to rendezvous together and attack a single target. this will be happening.
There is a feature called alliance coordinated attacks where all ships gather and attack single planets. It will be good.
As a newbie keep a couple of cargo ships in reserve sitting at your home planet in case of an attack and you need to send funds to an off-shore banking account. You can send to my planet in this event and I will return them when it's safe.
Best reason to play this game:

This is a warning that I changed one of your planet names as it is offensive. Any further offensive names can result in a ban.
