Try to figure it out.....

silicon, you see the guys at the plant that make all these objects that dont` use the regular minerals just take out the boob implants of their boss`s mrs.

I mean yeesh, isn`t it obvious .. tha way they`re all liquidy and wobbley and can never find the planet you want when you want.

Well... plastic, in most forms is complex polymere chains, usually produced out of petroliums... So, in reality, plastic isn`t cheap =/

They are probably produced out of random rocks just thrown together with tree bark stripped and stretched into ropes. The reason why it takes so many to find any planets is they are sent out in every direction from the farthest planet in your empire, and if one "hits" something, then you`ve found a planet.

The reason why they cost so much is the labor costs of stacking large stones on one another. If this were some poor 3rd world nation it would be nearly free, but because our civilizations are trying to appear "civilized" organizations like OSHA have taken hold and require a minium wage and specific working conditions. It takes a team of 50 highly trained professionals making 6-7 figure salaries to do the job a 10 year old chinese kid can do.

maybe there`s a giant chicken that lays eggs which these ships come out of. o.o;

thats because they dont build them, they rent em ;p lol

rare its actually pretty clear i said that its made from coins money

im to busy trying to make sense of ThEpAkIsTaNIeMpIrE`s posts to work out what happened to any terran metal sigh yawn newbs

points to yoshi- the kind your silly putty comes in from a gumball machine

actually the credits in 5000 ad are made from metals like copper and silver they use it to make the ship LOL

they are made from the lesser known homo seagull poo

pyth is made from plastic....

does some voodoo magic ... okay done, it rained viators :)

so does that mean I can throw them into the air and magic, they turn into planets? im tellin you they did it for the burgers

They are literally made out of money.

As long as they dont use up all my minerals they could be made of pooh and i still wouldnt care. Maybe they are made of pooh? But anyway... when you explore you buy loads of them right? Like 5000, then when you`re done exploring you get rid of them right? And if you explore twice a day you`re using 10,000 minerals. Thats basically what i do. And if you have the wrong minerals and no planets with the right minerals, you cant explore, so you cant get the right minerals so you`d have to restart. If you`re new or you`ve had a really bad attack or something it could be a pain in the backside. Makes sense that they`re made of pooh instead of minerals.

the same materials used to manufacture the pike from the marauder race, it was just subed out to the terrans in exchange for a years supply of americas best hamburgers

errr ffs read what i said

the reason they dont cost minerals, is because they belong to the goverment centre on your homeworld (they build em) You rent them out :D

Well my guess is that they are made of the same material as credits.... you actually physically use your credits to build them...

Lol, makes perfect sense.

same with pike i think its made from the invisable metal that all races have to produce cheapest plastic lubricated metal LOL invisable kind
