How long do I have to wait to get some dam minerals :S Or am i gonna have to go back to VM cause I cant build a dam ship cause of the lack of minerals... or am I gonna have to spent all day refreshing to buy then 4000 units at a time... I quit spacefed cause of crab like this, but I can see little has changed in 6 months... nothing but empty promises of updates and what not... |

99+ day(s) ago | A. Miners do have so many ships that it's a great race to wait for counters, if nothing else. But the slave option make it very boring to be A. Miner. Even if people did slave me on RT. I just builded me out of it and wasted a load of goods and cash.
To me it seem that the same people that always want more minerals so they can fight, are the same people that make it hell to be A. Miner, so why should they make the Minerals you so badly want *lol*
I like to make a mixed Empire so I can better coop. with lack of resources. That do not make Empires that earn the most, but it do make a Empire that can fight always fight, but not at very high PR.
So if people really want to fight, then get a more balanced Empire or for Virals reverse ships that don't need minerals :-)) |

Somehow I already expected this non-argument... |

99+ day(s) ago | i m disagree with omegian... a.miner is not that bad overall... it still has its own strong and weak points...not all the ships of a.miner are that bad overall...if u could use some time to stack and learn...it is not impossible to come up with good stack...EMPIREofBORIS was a good example...older player will know how good he is at using miner ^^ |

99+ day(s) ago | *sigh* im not going to fight as aspha, worse ships, starbases are horrible, rather have a guard starbase than any aspha one, rather use a tourm then 1 billion pr of flyshce for a counter, rather use queens than lictors even when spamming, aspha ships stink, and all other races depends on them in RT for minerals, now hard is it? |

99+ day(s) ago | I think the mineral shortage has also its positive sides. Now you have another constraint to your tactics..... |

99+ day(s) ago | Patience is a virtue. Yea, right. Don`t expect anyone to sit around waiting to buy minerals. The bottom line is that they`ll take their "paitience" elsewhere... |

99+ day(s) ago | Sadly I agree AlphaC not enough minerals around especially when you really need them. Sometimes I have to beg Aminers by pming them to put some minerals on the market, which usually works, :). But its hard to stockpile the bots minerals when your a poor race like guarding making only 500 k a turn which most of it goes towards cg`s inorder to keep that income from being reduced in half. |

99+ day(s) ago | why the hell would i wanna become a crabpy race just so I can make minerals... and GalacticAddict, why the h.ell whould I pay to play a game where i cant play half the time... plus this is galactic conquest... not galactic research or explorer... I`ve been playing long enough to know when the game has turned into c.rap |

99+ day(s) ago | Stop complaining, do something other than build ships research, or dig, do something until you can buy some minerals, get over yourself, everyone else seems to be just dealing with it. Patience is a virtue. |

99+ day(s) ago | You should of all stocked up when KZ was active...
A solution to this problem is to whack KZ on, and leave it on lol =) |

99+ day(s) ago | stop complaining, and become an a.miner yourself |

99+ day(s) ago | no duh but the minerals go so fast if you do not babysit them as they become active on the market then you miss out on your one chance on buying them, |

99+ day(s) ago | u dont need composite to research =P |
mutilatedmonkeymeat
99+ day(s) ago | i second that it took me 45 minutes to get some dang composit, all i needed was 800 units, it was serious BS in high gear, instead of waiting for minerals i could have been reserching and fighting, |
TheShadow
99+ day(s) ago | humm about time i give out my idea for a mineral race with some good ships and much better than A.Miner of course they don`t make any goods since everthing is negative but mineral generation |
