being a slave wen ur making under 2 mill a turn is a pain but not that bad, wen ur making over 2 mill a turn it REALLY hurts seeing those millions per 20-30 turns just dissapear.
though if ur a miner or an agri terran and get enslaved and are not tax based then thank them if they send u reinforcemtns cos ur not paying a penny for em lol and u get free DP also. and if ur either of them u can generally out build them anyways cos ur making tones o creds but none per turn (make ur cash selling stuff not generating it per turn)
i dont mind getting enslaved, i make -20k a turn without goods and i never get em anyways as im an agri terran
