2008-01-08 |  | Exploration Points, Formula? |  |
I was trying to work out how hard it would be to explore for planets when you have a few hundred planets...
I want the formula for exploration points required to discover a new planet...
Once i have the formula for exploration points required to discover a new planet, i can do my own maths :P...
Just need to know what the formula is..............
Thanks Galactic}{Killer |

So in and excel spreadsheet put 5,000 in cell A1 in cell B1 enter this formula: =A1*1.2 Drag fill that down. For 100 planets you need only go to row 100 and see that it takes 345,074,893,842 Exploration Points. For 500 it takes 16,233,485,674,615,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. |

e=mc^2 |

Put it all in excel and bingo!
Hope this helps. |

I still want the forumla, http://gc.gamestotal.com/i.cfm?f=com_explore_cal
lol (i suck at maths)
and on a side note, I have borders on normal and i have 6 pcc`s anyway LOL |

99+ day(s) ago | bobby, he has 500 planets lol. Well maybe in 2200 you will be able to explore one planet or something. |

99+ day(s) ago | I did a curve fit to the data in the table a while ago when I forgot my dp ended in rt. It is indeed exponential. I think I had 154 planets (2 viral c4s a c2 and a border) and I remember it took me about 12 hours worth of turns (paid) - I don`t remember how many scouts but I spent 40bil plus whatever I got from turns so if your qn is rhetorical then yes it`s possible, but if you want to do it normal......

99+ day(s) ago | It would be impossible to explore with that many planets as you can see the points needed to explore increase exponentially.
On another note: need borders on normal? :P |
