I guess the Lunar Base is a planet's equivalent of Terraformer, just really cheap in comparison.

wait until you get to lvl 12 lol

I wouldn't know, I never got a moon before. It's amazing, but I can not remember one fleet attack on my planets in my entire game history. I did give three moons to different enemies, which was pretty frustrating, but I made sure two of them would never use them (constant raiding).
An easy way to get around an unpoppable moon is to just leave a portion of your fleet out that seems to be your entire fleet. The opposition will crash it, then destroy their roamer (along with the moon), saving you the trouble of building all those RIPs, while your fleet is safely FSing all the way across 9 galaxies and some hundreds of systems. Hopefully before they get a Sensor Phalanx, because then this would all fail.

well tbh i just get SSD and LSD on moons just so people can't do any cheap hits on me lol

I'm sorry for continueing this off topic, last post from me.
Listen up sprog, first of all you were on top guys side, so less worries about looseing your moon. seconde, you had enough free time to grow your fleet up fast but thats not everyone's playstyle, you know. and third, you could keep your moon long enough till you get a fleet for defending them. now that you have a big fleet, you say: "hey guys, why others need to have defenses on their moon that cant be IPM'ed?, why they need to have a moon at all!?!" C'mon... fleeting isnt the only playstyle in Zorg.try to UNDERSTAND and respect other playstyle's and player's.

I spent 3/4 of my time having the likes of Gozar, Torgard, Kick, Fishpond, PK (get the idea??) chase me around the galaxies and yes I got moons popped but that's what keeps the game fun and players on their toes!!! Still off off topic and it's dragging on tbh. Will state again that IPMs are NOT my style but other players like using them so they should have the option to use them on a moon if another can build defences there!!! So "..try to UNDERSTAND and respect other playstyles and players opinions lol

i love IPMs to get to the res on the planet if i do not have enough fleet to get thru to it.
the Planet has mines.
moons do not.
no imps on the moon.

Ducttape...THAT is sound logic lol i agree

I agree with DuctTapes Logic also.

I disagree with IPMs being able to hit a moon.

Planets can have Nanites. Moons cannot.
