2008-02-08 |  | While I`m in `what if` mode... |  |
Once again I`ll post this disclaimer
this is NOT an update suggestion, i just want to see what you all think
cause im curious and all
what if mineral supplies increased base pr?
all of a sudden being min miner (which is easy as hell) gets harder, and massively rich virals will suddenly have more probs than `what do i do with all this cash`
hehe would it help, or make things worse?
xD |

99+ day(s) ago | bad idea. what will happen to NP hiders, marauders and collectives ?
but 100 minerals to 1 PR ratio will do hehe, it will be fun hunting maru and collectives=) |

99+ day(s) ago | i see VALJA point... with 1 planet base power with the minerial suggestion appllied
but the here is the true of it... u cant let ur homeworld get hit that is how u lose an UW... u can explore UW with less then a few planets... done it before when cutting it close... UW`s are fun to bug people with...
this game is not-smart... its funny to get someone upset over it... not the the point of quitting tho... cause if they quit then i have less people to play with... & that would just suck |
VALJA
99+ day(s) ago | errr... let me clear it up again...
1 planet... (and IF the rule of less 3 planets isn`t applicable...)
above 500k of PR... (due to the base PR increased by the minerals storage, the PR CAN`T go down less than 500k PR)...
don`t need to bother to defend it... (how the PR can go less than 500k since without any ship it`s already above 500k?)
for the next 48 hours... it`s still gonna blow... why? it`s still above 500k of PR... so even every 1 hour of DP... technically going to lose 48 times... and guess what? it`s still ABOVE 500k PR...
but again.... since the rule stated either losing PR less than 500k OR left only with less than 3 planets will distroy the UW... so the only part won`t make the greatest idea is the last one... less than 3 planets.... awwwww heck... lol... |

99+ day(s) ago | VALJA it would still fail if they lost every fight you nub |
VALJA
99+ day(s) ago | awww heck... almost got the greatest idea to do an UW without building any ship... just imagine... 1 planet... above 500k of PR... and don`t need to bother every hour to defend it... who cares of losing for the next 48 hours as long it`s gonna blow... lol...
:P |

99+ day(s) ago | true... was not thinking bout U.Large`s or anything....lol.... so far since i restarted as a.miner i found 0 u.large`s...... was very mad since i`m a taxer =p |
AGM94
99+ day(s) ago | if a miner was going tax and trying an explore uw with a high housing lvl and a few good larges they could make it over 500k without making it any harder to explore quite easily |
theunforgiven
99+ day(s) ago | lol yea true but you don`t see many taxers with that high of base pr doing explore uw`s...... most ppl with that high of base pr would have trouble exploring....... unless there like some people who just gordo up clusters or something |
AGM94
99+ day(s) ago | neither do taxers that can get above 500k though theunforgiven |
theunforgiven
99+ day(s) ago | well he has good point though....... as long as a guy has a lot of minerals and has base above 500k he has good chance to pull off an explore uw...lol.... does not have to worry about falling below 500k |

99+ day(s) ago | no, if you get hit with less than 3 cols or go below 3 cols, UW dies. meaning first hit youd die, if it even let you activate it. |
VALJA
99+ day(s) ago | just out of curiousity.. what`s going to happen for a 1 planet empire who initiate an UW and with lots of minerals and the base PR is above 1 million... will it succeed even for othe next 48 hours, he/she don`t put any shihp at all? lol... |

99+ day(s) ago | hmm uhm, Planet Hording is part of the fun and challenge, thus planet hording is hard already as you stated. And its not easy considering if theres ample amount of pressure.
Anyhow, base pr through mineral supplies would be interesting, but problem is do you really want everyones base to jump 2-3 mil pr for most new players and 15-20 mil pr for others, its going to do nothing battle wise from how I see it. |
CrazyMaverickTNM
99+ day(s) ago | I think this is a bad idea.... Mineral A.miner already got 12 colony max... with 5 planets to clustering... they got to win clusters in order fo finish off C3`s...
most A.miner never get over 150 planets on average... most minerial A.miner cant hold planets long either due to A.miner bashing from Terran & Viral horders... everyone knows or in the past thought A.miner as a push over race... not sure if thats true with the update...
but however i do belive some nerfting does need to be done about planet horders... best thing i can suggest is max colony cuts... as guard 10 colony max with 5 planets per cluster is really hard to fight constantly & cluster & cluster... plus guards high base power... only advange guard gots is building speed now in days with over powering ships...
maybe 10 colony max for viral & cut terran down to 12 like A.miner as well... this would majorly reduce planet hordering on a major level... maybe wont like that suggestion for terran... but for viral it seems very reasonible... it should be hard race... & another they got 4 planet clustering... which has an advanage vs 5 planet clustering... |
VALJA
99+ day(s) ago | good idea... can be in higher PR without building any ship.... and most ppl with less minerals have to build many ships to reach certain PR... |
theunforgiven
99+ day(s) ago | actually the old empires that have the most cash and mineral reserves would probably be the ,maddest ones if there base pr jumped up a few mils even though they have no populaiton |
FieryGallacticos
99+ day(s) ago | lol the older empires will laugh at you all! |
theunforgiven
99+ day(s) ago | well thats plenty in my opinion... to much would make nobody wanna be an a.miner.... if it was more i would restart... I`m already a axer so my base is high enough but making more base pr for having minerals in stock is just a way to eliminate all taxing a.miner..... i have 0 infra on mining but i still make like 5-10 mil minerals daily so i don`t think an a.miner should be penalized very much for there mineral reserves |
Maraudian
99+ day(s) ago | it would make an easy race harder while making viral pretty much the same |
