The endless drought of consumer goods throughout the GC/RT server has forced some empires to consider their choice of income as others are left out in the cold with angry and confused populations. Some are even wondering if continuing on as a Terran is even worth the trouble.
Scouts on the borders of some Terran empires have reported increased sightings of Flysch class battleships massing against their territory.
Even some Viral empires are affected. Miner fleets continue to amass...
Could this be a ploy by the Aspha Miners to slowly take over the server by economic means??? (since they obviously cant successfully pull off activating a UW, albeit recently).
Make some CGs! |

I suppose it depends on how you define "recent" for a.miner UWs. For UWs, I`d call that a fairly recent explosion. ^^; |

99+ day(s) ago | it doesn`t take a rich a.miner to pull off a UW. A poor, determined one can pull it off too. Especially when everyone ignores them for 24 hours and then their fed jumps in and helps hunt down the evil anti-UWers. |

What needs to be done is the cg mod increased to make it as profitable as anything else. |

If your refering to my `UW attempt`, then you really need to understand it`s hard when you have rich, Maru spamming Virals who never sleep on your behind ;P |

WhatIsTheMatrix
99+ day(s) ago | okay... force the system to post CGs then. since its a profitless economy for everyone. Some races need them. Perhaps taking that aspect of the game away and updating accordingly may help as well |

99+ day(s) ago | Hmm. i make usually 150 mill tops on CGs, while i can make almost a hundred times that much on minerals. notice the difference? only reason i sell CGs at all is to pay for ship upkeep in between selling minerals. |

im supposed to be online when you post goods.
80mil would have lasted me about 65x45 turs |

99+ day(s) ago | You have posted sales of 80,000,000 units of Consumer Goods at 4 $ per unit !

99+ day(s) ago | Okay i stand corrected. Guards do need CGs. I was alil confused on that one but after reading up on them abit, i stand corrected.
and no, I am quite capable of feeding my own pop with a large food surplus generated per turn. And After two weeks of constant exploring I haven`t found a single U class... Not one. But I shall toil further to that end.
DOB, You need food to feed YOUR pop and man MY ships when YOU capture them... |
Sol
99+ day(s) ago | You have bought 240,000 units of Consumer Goods for 720,000 $ !
hmm pity those wont even last me 20 turns. |

99+ day(s) ago | If you were talking about guards we dont consume food anyway all we require is minerals and preferably cgs |
DieOewerBoontjie
99+ day(s) ago | so all i am good for is feeding the population of your planets who man your ships who will be attacking me? talk about biting the hand that feeds you |
Sol
99+ day(s) ago | choosing agri for gaurd makes it almost impossible to play the race. |
AGM
99+ day(s) ago | What crazy guards do you know? because going agri as guard isnt a good choice thats why almost all guards go tax or stripmining with only a very small part choosing agri. Even at max research with good land they wont be making that much in comparison to a decent terran or collective farmer |

99+ day(s) ago | DOB, flaming on MY posts is strictly forbidden... (uh oh.. here they come)
And true, being a CG miner is not profitable by any means. but seeing as how NO ONE makes them hardly at all... it makes the commerce income aspect of the Terran race somewhat useless as we can never amount to our greatest potential. Some have been resorting to agriculture and most switch to A. Miner or Collective just so they wouldnt worry about it.
And what happens is, the Collective and the Guardians make all the food while the Virals and the Miners enjoy cheap, plentiful buffets to feed their hungry, heavily taxed populations.
And the few Miners who actually post minerals (another less profitable means of credit generation), at least this ensures the ample supply of minerals. But, on occasion, the system takes over and posts minerals when there is a deficit, albeit at double the price. If this happens to CGs, could get bad in a hurry.
The Terrans are left out in the rain. Granted its a free account, but you have to start as this race when you are first signing up. And what other race depends on Terran for goods, mins, etc..? None.
Virals depend on collectives and guardians for food
Miners depend on Collectives and guardians for food
Collectives depend on Miners for minerals
Terrans depend on miners for minerals
Maru is Maru
Virals and Guardians depend on Miners for minerals
But what do Terrans produce that other races need?? Ships.... Ships for Viral fleets.
It is so useless! |
