I think that way seems a nicer to way play, making everything yourself.

But this round I'm specialised.  I've gone -30% income (want to save on upkeep costs too).  Although I don't have much time, I also want to be able to attack.  So Zidi says 2 sciences - but in reality I've gone for 3 too.  Cons, Res and putting military up now.

The biggest problem I'm having is turning over my large amounts of iron.  E.g. if I dump my iron at 9, i'll be making 990k gc from iron production/tick.  When market hits 15, i'm making 1.65m/tick.  Then obviously I'm hoping to be making more when wars come around and what not.  Problem is, like I said, the quantity isn't in demand that much.

Hmm, just had a thought - perhaps I'll dabble in food now.  Less variance there, and I can use that to offset.  Already got the res sci, so that'll help.

\o

Yep, not so much the rate - but the amount of available resources.

I already apologized.  I have to withdraw.  Sadly, no time atm to partake.

gl!

Also:

So a mod needs to be saying what actually needs to be done.

Wow, been away for a few days and come back to Torq-bashing.

I'm sorry that voicing my opinion is something that upsets you guys.  I put in a hell of a lot of time into IC for you guys.  Do I enjoy it? Ofcourse.  But that doesn't change the fact that it's "my" time, trying to make IC better.

Well, I'm not going to argue against people who are saying that I'm not a mod and shouldn't comment on these things, when they themselves are only players and are effectively doing the same. It's kinda hypocritical.

Anyway, I've enjoyed my time off IC while my daughter has been sick and things at work have been busy too.  So I'll probably just continue to take a bit of time off and reassess how things are going.

PS:  Ghost Spots have nothing to do with being able to place people in families.  And they were never there to stop multi's either.  They were brought in, to stop illegal drafting.

PSS: Render, please remove me from my team.  Sadly, I have no time to devote to another playing account atm.  It should be easy to find a replacement though.  Least I'm not leading a team and threatening forfeit like Lee and Devilz.

lately? -_-

Anyway, I came across a thread like this while sifting through.  There was an argument that killing someoens transports/bombers on a planet, is actually a part of strategy.

I kinda agree.  I love doing this to a player who is not careful.  Recently it affected a war where we were fighting WhiteShadow and his ally did it to him.  Was funny as hell and had somewhat played a part in the war.

Eitherway, you have mass recall now, so it's easy - before that it was stupid, since had to recall on individual planets.  Now, at least it's just 3 clicks to recall em all. 

So yea, not sure if this will be implemented.

The check is done on the race when the tag is given.  I don't think it's abuseable cos it slaps the user with -ve attack bonus.

It's just like how you can build Tax Offices pre-round with a Race that has them.

Anyway, tag point given! Thanks

Funny, cos the whole reason it was removed from HC galaxies was from player feedback.  People were upset at others retaking planets and then deleting when they knew the cause was lost, with the planets.

So yea, that's not a solution - perhaps some more ideas?

Okay, I have now joined the galaxy for this purpose.

If you're quitting - let me know

Actually, I was the one that raised the question about Randoms.

Then Render added 3 'random' fams as a result.  That was one of his options.  The other option was to send the randoms to MW.
