Question about CPA

[Levy]

Hi guys, little question

Say I got a 960 CPA incoming. I know where it's gonna be coming from mostly since the AI has 3-4 plantes with ~1k ships on them compared to 200-400 on the others. So my question is, while waiting for the 10-15min countdown, can I raid these planets to kill as many AI ships as possible and thus lowering the future CPA wave or will it have no effect and I will simply lose my ships?

ps: Love the game, haven't have the time to try the other games I bough at christmast because this one is taking all my time ahah. Seriously, awesome job, can't even begin to imagine how much I'm gonna struggle when I get at higher diff. with stronger AI types.

ps2: I think your password system for a forum is kinda abusive, upper case AND lower case AND numbers. but oh well, i got the email to remember that password if need be.

Glad you're enjoying the game, and welcome to the forums!

For the CPA, if you raid the AI early on the ships you think will become freed, it will simply free other ships -- there's no way to avoid it.  So best to wait for them to come to you!  However, once the CPA has actually freed the ships (when the timer runs out), you can so totally raid them on their planets before they come into yours.  You have to be careful with that, but it can be a great strategy, especially if they arrive in smaller groups to wait on the other side of your wormhole!
