Re: Einstein's Science Lab!

cience I have a love/hate relationship with science. An RC generates 20 rp's a tick. Modified by a high science bonus this becomes 30 rp's a tick. Seems a lot until you realize that a pop banker (and adding in HF's on a fam resourcerl makes 32.95 gc.

But they are cheaper than pop infra and they are used because no one wants to direct aid science anymore.

Now I simply put did not respect a pop banker with 50% science... never have. This is because I feel a popper should outgrow his science. This dates back to the Flint Jump when science was impossible to keep up with a jumper. But the truth is a bitter pill.

Yes every 100 gc invested becomes 150rp's versus my 70rp's.Lets look at an example of a 5 million NW pop banker investing to 90% econ and 90% welfare requires 450 million rp'sin each. Now we will presume 5 mil is the ending NW which means he likely has 3.9 million NW in pop and infra (this is 128 planets at 2000 infra average or so per planet, gross revenue near 9 million a tick. The difference is staggering. Less so with family funding... but still huge. It takes 600 million for the 50% bonus player and 1.285 billion for a negatie science guy. With 4 bankers earning 9 mil this is 35 ticks versus 16 ticks. To fund them all this way would be (if you saved then invested) 140 ticks versus 64. 6 days versus 3.

This means the science bonus guy takes only 66 ticks of funding. The -30% strategy takes 142 ticks to fund.

Now science planets in the core should be reserved forRC's. The advantage of a 50% boost to a 50% race bonus with rc's is 45 rp's a tick.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Youre maths is out again... 450million RPs gets you ~60% in a research field @ 5mil NW.

"Now we will presume 5 mil is the ending NW which means he likely has 3.9 million NW in pop and infra (this is 128 planets at 2000 infra average or so per planet, gross revenue near 9 million a tick."

900k NW in Research.
1024k NW in Buildings. (256k worth of infra)
128 planets gives 102k in NW
Broken down into 75/25 LQ/TO ratio gives you 192k LQs / 64k TOs
192k LQs give ~125mil pop (also havent added in the research Welfare would take into affect on this, pushing NW even higher).
125mil pop gives you 3.12mil in NW.

Total ~5.15mil in NW (not inc Welfare affects on pop)

Leaves you with no units to defend yourself with... Leaving you pants down in a rainbow bar. So youre using numbers that completely negate defenses which is unlikely and unreasonable...

Though your numbers with making 9mil are roughly correct with a 50% race like I assume you are using because of the whole against poppers being Revs thing... A Rev would make 9.65mil per tick and have that little bit more to fund with. (This isnt taking into factor the research you claim one would have already accumulated, obviously with 450mil RPs in each eco/welfare you would have to be pushing 20m+)


Not sure exactly what you are claiming here in this thread also? Why would a banker have neg science? Why would anyone willing to use research have neg science TBH?

Re: Einstein's Science Lab!

I will review the math later.

Yes I have done science as a negative.

I still contend that sometimes it is a legit strategy but of limited value.
