Just read the titile and Put what you like...Mining or Taxing?
E EphemeralEternity
i`m bias, i don`t really like mineral or tax miners, yay CG`s...or you could take a difficult less played route and go plunder miner
D DrunkenMasters
On normal, being agri miner will probably be the most profitable way lmfao, minerals aren`t selling, CGs for 3 and food for 15 :S

If your in RT I`d go straight mining up to at least 60-70 infra levels... when you get there you might wanna think about putting some in housing, but minerals on RT are ussually pretty safe.

Tax miner with just over 100k land and roughly 80 housing infra and only 61 planets.

Mineral miner is a long hard slog, but no base PR to mention, my base is more than what some people play at :(

Dude? theses guys are allll insane. you need to research Commercial. all Commercial. and 5 housing. . yup

Tax is awesome!

It`s not so much a matter of tax or mining so much a matter of how much to put in one or the other. You can only go so far with housing before the base PR starts to kill any chances you might have at winning. And it depends on the server. Slow is absolutely terrible for minerals, while in RT you can`t even make enough to keep up with demand. Like Cane said, a 50/50 or 75/25 ratio of one or the other is best.

tax, but sometimes it depends on the food on the market. a miner can survive at food at 30 and with about 100 infra and maybe 2 c2`s with 20-25k land u could make a killing and u still make minerals
C Cane
i would say doing both is best.

what happens when you have 300+ planets with 255 levels of mining infra?
after awhile the mineral market crashes, and all the top players max out their minerals, so they stop selling after awhile. you kind of hit a dead spot, and your income gets really slow.
this especially happens when there`s a few other a.miners with 100+ planets

that`s why i say 50/50 (or 75/25) mining/housing.. you have a 2nd income to fall back on, plus both income methods "overlap" with eachother.. (you produce minerals as you gain from pop)
so none of your research levels will be going to waste

though if you don`t plan on getting a few C3`s and playing high, i`m sure pure mining would be suitable
C collective1
depends on how much you like to fight/how good you are at fighting :)
pick minerals if you can accumulate planets through fighting
pick cgs if you are willing to explore/fight for big planets, and want a low base PR
pick tax if you want maximal income and are willing to explore/fight for big planets
O OttOmaNS
my opinion is same, tax does pawn
D Deiloche
Of course I would.
M Macbeth
Yep, you would say that.
M Macbeth
I`ve already told you Mining is best...
