Any ideas on how to deal with the Grox?

<< < (2/10) > >>

Li'l Brudder:
Has anyone seen the Grox's homeworld?

I've used the mini happy ray when I first met the Grox, as they were only at an orange with me, not red.  It was futile for a mini, but perhaps a full happy ray would work.

Zazazu:
I just reached the core for the first time. I'm  a shameless cheater, so I basically ran, paused, and refilled motives. I tried contacting the Grox first. I tried giving them a gift, but the highest amount available was 100k despite the fact that I had over 12mil. I tried asking for a mission but they said they had no use for me. Fine. I returned to the homeworld to check in and then took the wormhole back to Grox territory. Suddenly, we're at war.

Arnina:
Here's a link to a guide on how to ally with the Grox:

I haven't tried it yet, but I might with one of my throw-away games.

Faizah:
I tried everything I could (Happy ray, I think it was fully upgraded, embassy, bribes, etc) and I could only get the relationship score with the Grox up to -20. They start out with a -70 "We hate strangers", and all methods of relation raising are far less effective on them, with a lower cap. (Usually you can keep using the happy ray - recharging between bursts - until they have gained 50 from that alone, but the Grox capped out far earlier.)

EDIT: Huh. Didn't check Arnina's link before posting... Interesting. I'll have to try that.

J. M. Pescado:
Things I know of: First, apparently, the entire galaxy is actually shared, meaning all of your races are actually simultaneously in play.
Second: A ship can hold 99 planetbusters. Each one costs $2.5M when bought from a Force race, so your total cost is $250M, about 3 boatloads of cash apiece (max cash is 100M).

So, let's say you have 10 races ready to approach the core. That's 990 planetbusters. How many planets do these guys have, anyway? Have fun!

I also highly recommend the Scientist Gravitron Wave, if you don't feel like inflicting massive permanent harm to the galaxy: Each shot will cleanse a planet instantly, and you have unlimited ammo and can fire theim as fast as you can save and load your game. :P

And I think someone in those screenshots is cheating! There's no way I've heard of that a ship can have over 10K HP, even with Prime Specimen, best is 2250 with all health upgrades.
