thats what im at at the mo and im only researching housing now till i hit max which is 255.

I`ve always thought strafez and composite are money spinners -- never enough of either ...

ragnarok probably wc and rc, as there seems to be not alot on sale and it is used alot, ppl always go for tm and straf

me want back that 400%...lloll

its 150% lol..used to be 400% :D

woahhh... i thought the +mod for tax miners was only 50%...

I hate you. hate you to death!

ok here is my 1 turn income with goods:


You used up 1 turn(s) Credit +52,418,800 Food -1,235,223 Goods -1,235,460

Goods cost 4 per = 4,941,840 on goods a turn

food currently is at 9 per = 11,117,007 creds on food per turn


Total expenses:

16,058,847 per turn spent

leaving me with:

36,359,953 as profit

There you go Mac :P

I`m gaurdian with a pathetically poor mining modifier but i still have 100 mining infra and i get plenty of minerals and ore fast enough so 100 should work even better for you.

Aba you will confuse the newbies with what you posted, deduct food costs and cg costs from that ...

incase you`re interested to choose only between 2, do both... why? if you`re having a fleet at least tax will put you into +ve income while using turns... and at the same time, you can mine the minerals and wait until they`re being bought over... you don`t need to put much into tax, just enough to put you into +ve income while using turns...

both, get say 100lvls of mining first whilst exploring for for 2 big c2`s. use land to make cgs untill you are ready to start tax lvls then switch from cgs to housing.

Remember what I said about agri...

go all mining. put enough pop on your horrible c3`s to pour your land into industry. taxing is for squares. you will make a little money from the pop, ~4mil a turn from goods. and 80mil a turn from your minerals if you are capable of holding 400+.

i rule.

If you had to choose one mineral out of the 6, for like if you formed a c3, which would it be?

Minerals, and lots of planets = much richness

i got 2 c-3`s in a week, and 100+bil

Plus DM gave me a cool technicolour lollipop

Which sealed the deal >.>

Oh and i can nvr be bothered to explore, which you have to do with tax.. well not rly explore.. but still make effort

I enjoy with miners you can make money from any old c.rap.. its nice if you like to keep hitting ppl, plus the base is a bit yucky, but can always kill your pop if it starts to rly annoy you

So i have nvr seen base pr as a downside, just annoying

While trying to make a living plundering I will go commercial
