Guardian Money Problem

OP 18/06/2007 · 12:48 AM #1

Is there any other way for a guardian increasing money income beside taxing?

Im in a stand still... i stop researching housing :( cos my base PR is Increasing. ALOT!

I think im stuck between a rock and a hard place :(.

If i remember no arty can increase loyalty and my suggestion for guardian able to use reward option seem to be rejected. .. so... guess im stuck lol

Is 890k+ base pr with 700k+ credit perturn good enough for a guardian?

I know we guardian have low upkeep ship... but with that kind of money perturn its = high upkeep to us lol

And those Neutral ship = so expensive for us guardian. Just make a couple of them and im already in the minus.

I think we guardian have balance ship... some ship still can be argue :) but... i personaly think we guardian have unbalance in gathering money.

I played Commercial Viral before... i have 480k+ base pr and i make 7m+ / turn. I buy food cost like around 1-2+ million depend on market. I still have 6-5+ million to spare. addtional, I only buy food like after 100 turns or so..... so between that i get pure 7m+ if i dont have any upkeep ship to pay.

I know we guardian dont buy "food" but... with that little money no wonder we guardian cant go any futher.

I see only Viral, A.Miner, Terran and even collective now days... seem able to go High PR :) frequenly.

Guess we guardian share the same fate as Marauder race lol. RARELY see on top :)

P.S sry for my english :)

When I hit 100 housing infra on slow my base PR will hit around 900k PR, with around 55k land. Fortunately for me, a lot of that land is 2500 loyalty.

hmm strip mining on turnbased , never really tried it but it would cost alot of turns , but still , bout 50 turns should be enough to make and strip a explored C2 , that could get you you like 100m+ if your lucky ( if ore is 10k per unit )

for a guardian that can hold for a few days ( or i can certainly hold an empire on RT for a few days on RT with 100m )

but hmm Guardian on turnbased is alot different from RT

He is on turn based and all your advice won`t help him. Cybran, if you want extra income with guard you need to find at least one planet with maxed loyalty befored doing the missions, then make the cluster max loyalty, then the c3(if you have one) with max loyalty. If you have 60-80k c3 with 3.7k loyalty you will make more than enough, believe me.

- i had 2 25K+ C2 in the past (very long ago...;)), loyalty was pushed via quests
- dropped both to change to spaz/eden combo, works much better

Why?:
Exploring with C2s is too expensive, it`s not much of a problem to get borders alive - but with the lowered planet count I`m still able to have a nice xtra income from strip mining ore. However - strip mining maybe a pain - in RT you won`t get a break from clicking around :)

Im gunna plunder my 1 land spaz and have my 15k eden as base instead. i have to choose one and as guard with 4 col spaces, you cant waste one col space with a 1 or 2 land spaz

having a spaz as base gives you the possibility of easily plundering into np if that becomes necessary in the future. if you have a cluster instead this cant be done any u class can do this though

hmm most empires like having a spaz baseworld

if you plan on keeping an empire a long time this is for the best :-/

oh yea you can plunder U class planets... lol what was i thinking. i`ve had this x.class u.spaz for too long, made me think U class couldnt be plundered. rofl

you could quit easily plunder a spaz as a big large.

i vote for spaz. it`s an insurance against accidental plundering (: that way you won`t ever kill yourself by plundering your home planet

8 min(s) ago er why spaz as base?

why not something big?

well thats a good point

either spaz base or in my case a 15k eden as base if i want. but that would mean digging on a gas. im still thinking about it. i dont know which to have.

agreed it is the fastest way to earn money

but... long term researching and gordoing is better
