A Helping hand to new empires

Maybe he just doesn`t like you. Or could be he didn`t have the time yet. As far as i know it is still in effect.

I started yesterday, came to the forum, saw this then PMed qwerty360, my outbox says he read it though my minerals have not changed. so is this still in effect?

i`m lacking of ore... 1.97 bill... can i PM the admin to buy some? lol...

IF only the BM is still around... :P

guys, read the instructions.

PM an Admin. Is it THAT hard to read?

I also recently restarted - Can I get my free minerals please?

Thanks in advance :)

I recently restartd - can I get my free minerals please? :)

Thanks in advance :)

a mission rewrite is supposed to done for that

SpaceCowboy... as for a.miner, the max infra levels should be 255 + 5 (mining) and for terran, 255 + 2 (housing)

as for the rest of your curiousity, perhaps others can help you better than me... coz i`m a self-sufficient terran... :)

Another thought, don`t see any way to edit my previous post so making a new one.

I remember the Terran mission that said have 5 research in commercial and the Aspha Miner mission to have 5 research in industry. There was also a mission that said to have a level 20 of any infrastructure. Why not just change the mission that asks for a specific type to the same kind of mission as the other? Say have a level 5 infrastructure research of your choosing for example. That way you do not force people to put levels where they won`t be helpful or unwanted.

I have been playing about 2 days now. i haven`t had too many problems figuring out the economy side of the game. I switched races pretty much as soon as i could though. Figured the default race would probably not be very good lol. I really don`t need the free minerals as Aspha Miner since I make way more than I could possibly hope to use at this point.

Something I read in this thread though made me wonder. I did industry since that was what the missions asked for. Then later I did a mission that gave me 5 free levels to mining, if the infrastructure is capped at 255 do those 5 levels count towards that cap? If so that should probably be changed or instead give the player the option to put those 5 free levels to whatever infrastructure he/she chooses.

requesting 5k on RT please!

Requesting 5k minerals as well then! :D

RT server if you need that

I can see it now, Moeridian the new future Admin

i am a newbie. just learning computers and this game. hope I do o.k.

I thought I made that clear too :(
Oh well :P

Moeridian - you can always just explore 3 extra useless planets, and keep them on your border.

Shouldn`t be too hard if you only have like 3 planets :P that way you can stay outside of 5k protection and not lose anything valuable.

I was talking about clustering the barren planet with 889 land eventually.

The point is that every planet I hold onto takes up pr under 5k.
If the goal is to make the game a little easier for newbies to get established,
why not raise the bar a little to say 10k or 15k so that we can keep onto
some of these nicer planets and still mine for minerals and build a fleet before
coming out of protection?

But what do I know,
anyway, having fun so far = )

Moeridan- A couple things, first you need to know that U class planets cannot be clustered. With the U planets already averaging so much land, making them clusterable would be imbalancing for the game.
Second, the easy way to get borders in your situation is just to explore them out.

I actually want battle experience VALJA-

Just thought a higher N00b Protection could be the answer to this whole dilema.

I`ll be watching for our first encounter

"Confetti and balloons as my virgin fleet gets it`s first taste of victory" Ha ha ha

Same thought,

For example, I`ve been making pretty good money mining for ore and then selling it on the market
but then I got my first U.Large planet and I don`t want to get rid of it so it uses up valuable pr under 5k. So I keep mining and then I get an 889 land barren- not sure if that`s fantastic but I`ve heard you want to cluster them together so now I`m holding both planets and only researching infrastructure until I think I`m ready to get out of newbie Protection, but if I had more breathing room, I could continue to mine for ore and make more money/build up resources etc...

When I do come out, it sounds like I`m gonna get hammered but I have no room to make a fleet let alone pick up a couple of border planets to protect my prizes.
