a good way to make income

my friend, who was a ashpa miner said you can explore for a planet.. mine all it`s ore, and sell it all...

the level dont really make and effect if u dont have enough land in ur empire to actually capitalise on the tech levels u have achieved IF ur doing industry.

if ur going minerals and mining just evplore for 2 c2`s and a few c1`s like hollyhell has suggested.

the pig producers of minerals have high planet counts generally and very hiugh infra levels and have been playing for a very long time so it dont take them too long to make them anyways, as miner with 297 planets and only level 60 or so mining infra i was making over 37k minerals a turn, now over 30 turns thats close to 1,000,000 minerals so u can see how fast it adds up

whit the market you see the ppl posting 9 bill minneral in 3 dif catagory and you have to wonder how long it been biulding up for those miners i get like 2 C2 and 3 C1s plus borders and dont get anywere near that much

Illuminos....what have u researched? U should at least have lvl20 on Industry...5 on housing....then u will start to make some money....god knows what lvl the rich guys are on, but as A.Miner u need to at least get to that lvl to make any money at all

Sell your selff

Ummmm...u mentioned battle fleet......y are u using Starbases for attack?? And are u disbanding your fleet once you are in DP? That will save u credits for a start!

Aspha miners make the most from mineral mining. Basically collecting planets and selling the minerals they make from the planets. The more planets the more minerals/turn. Each mineral sells for $999 so you can make a good income through minerals. You can use industry as your secondary income too since mining takes up no infrastructure on colonies.
