For Slow I think the best way to build is a balanced A. Miner.
You will not earn huge amounts of cash, but you will get more then enough to fight and will not have to worry about any prices on the market and can play with it as you like :-))
ultima if your just goin for money do minerals its pretty simple.. you dont have to worry about how much land you get per planet or anything you just cluster everything you get and then research and you make alot to
Additionally it depends what you are looking to do with your miner empire.
A tax miner will have LOADS of money but huge food and good demands and a high base power.
A goods miner won`t make as much money as a tax miner but their base power will be lower as will there demand for food.
In any case what makes miners a bit more complex is there major dependency on the market, regardless of which type of miner you are.
Commercial races are the easiest... but not the most profitable =)
i agree completely, on rt miners the way to go, especially even if kalzul starts up again people need em so bad it would affect ur sales, and with the food constantly going up and down tax isnt that stable....im not sure on the other servers
depends what server you are on, dont listen to freeboarders he`s just a rt newbie:)
on Fast its currently by far the most profitable to go tax as food market is very low down.
For ultra and rt mineral mining is the most profitable atm.
Normal and slow could be discussed, a mix of minerals and goods is currently what the richest miner on slow does i believe
