Planet Issue

When you find a populated foreign cluster of a reasonable size, try destroying everything but housing. Industry is of no use to us, nor is Commercial. An assimilated foreign cluster can neither use Agriculture nor Mining. Once the colony is protected by border planets, and no longer at risk, assimilate it. Continue to fill it with new housing.

When the population is maximum (or, in case of Collective, twice maximum), plunder and profit. With 16 tech in Housing, and only 840 land on a captured cluster, I can get 22,964,000 credits. This exceeds, by far, the value of ore spent. It will demand some food, though. The good news is, if a UW is impending, you may invest ore and food in these people before your reserves are depleted. After the UW, you may plunder to get a nice head-start.

oops, meant to say: It`s best to plunder anything else you find because you CAN`T reap any economic benefits from normal non assimilated clusters

yeah, what infernal said. as a collective only 800+ barrens, are good to keep. It`s best to plunder anything else you find because you reap any economic benefits from it.

if its a regular c1 you stole from a non collective, just plunder it as it cannot be used for anything else anyway

ic, well normal 5 planet clusters are of no use to collectives anyway, just plunder it.

i think he meant he captured a c1, not a c.1. a c.1 is just 1 planet.

you are collective and you have a c.1, the one with four planets, with 4400 land? if so, that`s an average land count of 1100, i`d hold onto that if I were you.

>Feudalord

No...Feudalord...4.5k clusters is pretty good itself..It`s considered to be an ideal c.1 for most people.I must admit i never really made a 4.5k c.1 cus i don`t have the patience to.And about the 9k barrens,well that was luck and maybe once in a thousand chance.

you can cluster the C1 and make a C2, which will allow you to use the land again. Otherwise, nothing you can do.
