Contents Basic informationThe Leviathan is very good in confrontations with,. It does poorly in confrontations with, and.Leviathans may be used to good effect with fighters when occupying because their high armour and shield strength is a combination which is difficult to drive away. They are also good at defending mobile fleets as Leviathans provide a 5% armour and the power bonus to your fleet, making it more difficult for an enemy to attack.Leviathans are among the slowest units within Astro Empires. They can use jump gates but will still lag behind the rest of the fleet when launched separately than other fleets, even if those other fleets were launched at the same time.Advanced Information Fighter Assault PlatformCertain players include Leviathans in a fighter and/or heavy bomber drop in order to increase the damage and get better ratios.
Community portal for Astro Empires. After our last week's contest to choose the name for the next server, which ended this sunday, we are happy to announce the most voted name and the winners of the contest! LYRA was the most voted name and therefore will be the name for our next server! Thank you all who participated and helped us choose a name.
Since Leviathans can carry 4000 fighters each they don't require separate Fleet Carriers or Carriers unless you cannot afford to build enough Leviathans to carry all the fighters you wish to take with you.Leviathan StackingThe other route is a Leviathan stacker; build as many as possible and include them in your fleet. It is recommended that you produce 50 Leviathans in order to become an 'effective' Leviathan stacker; once you reach the goal continue building as many as possible.The levi stacker (for short) is most effective at shield raping cruiser fleets with small numbers of heavy cruisers and battleships. Small numbers of heavy cruisers can be almost shield raped (possibly only 10-20 damage coming through a leviathan's shields), so it takes a large number to kill all your leviathans if you have a stack. Generally it takes 600-800 heavy cruisers to kill 1 leviathan in one hit, so keep this rule of thumb in mind when planning attacks.Levi stackers will not find many opportunities for profit beyond a blob crash. In a blob crash however Leviathans can become essential for catching straggler fleets or ill-composed battle fleets.
Some opportunities exist for profit outside of blob crashes, usually when mobile fleets are not over their owner's astro, or someone leaves a cruiser fleet over their own base with insufficient command centers to repel you. Such opportunities can make very beautiful ratios but they are rare.OccupationLeviathans are also good for permanent occupations of players or to hold a United Colony base (probably overkill, though). United Colony bases can kill dreadnoughts occasionally with heavy cruiser spawns, but it is unlikely they will kill a Titan and it's impossible for any UC spawn to kill a Leviathan, so you have the security of knowing that your UC base is safe.Also, since UC technology level is so low, it is possible to shield rape UC heavy cruisers off-base when you achieve shielding level 23 for lots of profit. When UCs disband, and no one has held the base, there will usually be a few dreadnoughts and loads of HC left over. This is a prime target for a levi stacker.Base AttacksMany players make the mistake of using leviathans to attack bases when they first get them.
Generally, this is not a good idea. Usually, one level of planetary rings will kill one Leviathan, so your ratios when attacking bases will be very bad unless your opponent has a lot of fleets that can be shield-raped. Or they do not have planetary rings yet.Leviathans can be used with unshielded units to attack a base with multiple planetary rings, but your profit margin will be much lower than using a standard cruiser or heavy cruiser attack fleet.
Leviathans should only be used for base attacks if you're an experienced player.

:newsflash: Attention redditors:newsflash: We are in need of brave souls to fight with us against the great unwashed masses and together we will grasp the supple bossum of internet spaceship UNIVERSAL DOMINATION.HEED OUR CALLAstro Empires is a free, mostly text based browser mmo set in space. There are currently over fifty galaxies in the Lyra server, and over 11,000 players spread across 195,000 planets. That may sound a little vast, but in reality you'll only be dealing with a handful of your own planets at a time. The goal, like in most MMO's, is to level your account up and get bigger, better stuff, and collect loot from blown up space boats in the form of space debris which you recycle for more credits; also space tears.
You do this by establishing bases throughout all of the available galaxies, trading resources, building your fleet (warships ranging from small frigates and corvettes to massive leviathans and, sigh, death stars), attacking other players, or just simulating your epic space ego until virtual credits are pouring out your ears.This is not a fast paced game. Typically after the first few days you'll log in, queue up buildings to produce, send ships to nearby planets to scout/attack/defend, and then spend the rest of the time either staring at timers as they count down or posting in guild chat with fellow guildmates. Each galaxy is broken up into 100 segments, and within each segment is a handful of stars, each with its own solar system of planets. Travel times between planets in the same system are only a few seconds, but traveling from one system to another generally runs in the multiple hours range, so if you're looking for a game where you can mindlessly kill 'bandits' and grind away the hours of your life this is not it. If you're looking for a fun social game you can casually play from any computer with an internet access, or you want to role play that your Captain Kirk or somebody from Battlestar Galactica, read on. 1 2 IMPORTANT when prompted to pick a galaxy to start in, you'll want to choose either L53 L54 or L55 so you start close to your buddies. 90% of the guild is located in L55, I'd suggest giving that a try.
We are slowly moving to surrounding galaxies as our space fills up though. 3 log in, and join our guild, currently named GOATS. This link will take you to the guild page, and above the roster you'll click a link to join the guild. 4 post your in game name here to get accepted into the guild.From there we'll be more than happy to tell you how to play your game, and give you neat tips and good conversation and boost your self esteem, maybe even get a girl to kiss you. There's an in game tutorial that will give you the basics if you follow it, but we'll help you 100% of the way.How do I start?If you need any more help there are plenty of semi helpful dunces on the guild boards to help you out or ridicule you. Depending on how well you can follow directions.
