Lots of defensive structures + fleet

Don't fleet save.

Spy on a stronger player (pref. someone who isn't in an alliance, otherwise you might get farmed by other members) enough to piss them off and send a fleet to your planet. Very Happy

The least wasteful method is with a fleet of light fighters. I can't remember the exact number, but it's somewhere around 1300. Have a strong ally crash them in exchange for half the debris or something.

If a stronger player crashes your fleet on a moonshot and takes the debris (or half of it), wouldn't that be considered pushing?

Please look at the below section marked as: RulesBest way to do a moon shot. BlankEditMoonchanceBest way to do a moon shot. Blank








Any time a large battle occurs leaving more than 100k debris behind, the owner of the planet where the battle took place receives a moonchance, and if lucky, a moon. Each 100k debris gives a 1% chance of producing a moon, up to a maximum of a 20% chance with 2,000k debris.

The most used way to generate the debris is to crash a fleet of light fighters; 84 destroyed light fighters is 1%, and 1667 light fighters is 20%. Alternately, 1667 small cargos
can be used, as they create no damage to the "fodder" defenses of the
defending planet, and are easier to be defeated, though they are
slightly more expensive.

There is no need to go beyond 1667 light fighters, as 20% is the
highest moonchance percentage available: more will not increase the
odds.

It must also be noted that on some universes, the debris field
ratio is higher (for example on uni 40, it is 40% instead of the
standard 30%). In this case, only 3/4 of the ships must be sent. For
light fighters, this means a fleet of 1250 for 20% moonchance.

The fleet needed to crush the kamikaze fleet is usually harder to attain due to its costs (including deuterium) and high end ships.

Many people opt for the alternative of using 112 Battleships instead of Light fighters for Moonchances for the following reasons:



  • They have the same resource building rate (metal 3 / crystal 1).
  • They do less damage to the crushing fleet.
  • They do way less damage to the planet defenses than 1667 light fighters, which make them perfect for turtle-like moonchances.
  • They can be easily crushed with a fleet of battlecruisers.
  • The fleet points don't increase that drastically, so you're not that noticed.
  • Battleships can do other tasks in lower numbers before the moonchance happens, unlike the light fighters.

RulesBest way to do a moon shot. BlankEdit


When creating moonchances with your friends, certain rules are typically observed.



  • If the person receiving the moonchance is lower ranked than the
    person giving the moonchance, then the receiver may keep the debris.
  • If the person receiving the moonchance is higher ranked than the person giving the moonchance, the receiver may not keep the debris (it is considered pushing);
    therefore, just compensation must be made for the resources of the DF
    to satisfy the pushing rules. A reverse moonchance is often offered in
    trade. Goodbye hits of lower ranked players on higher ranked players are
    not permitted. When in doubt, check with a Game Operator.
  • Moon swaps are allowed, so long as the higher ranked player does not gain more resources than they send in return.
  • Permission is required for all moonshots from a Game Operator. For .org, the address is http://support.ogame.org .

Important: A GameOperator needs to be informed ONLY if the
lower ranked player intends to transport resources to the higher ranked
one.



Probability Best way to do a moon shot. BlankEdit


The probability of getting a moon is capped at 20% maximum. No matter
how many times you try to get a moon, each try will only have a 20%
chance of creating a moon for you, as an event does not get more likely
just because it has not occured earlier. Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy for more information.

Please note that on Barym you only need 3/4 of these numbers due to it being a special server.
