I think I will die first anyway...:P

More pop = more hf needed + more spent on exploring not in infra. And 27 hours from now, more lasers you need to build to protect yourself. It all equals less infra which is death.

mmmmmmm spam, nomnomnom

lol is this all of ur chaps first round of sd? most of the rounds the winners are those who expoed 6 planets

its funny though every round ppl make fun of the 6 eships senders. i think the only time u dont expo 6 is when u dont start with 6 eships...

first sd ss you start with 0 eships but 100k gc and skoe explored 6 planets and that was a failure.

There are so many more factors that play into this...its not going to come down to who explored or didnt explore 6 by itself.

It also comes down to who is around you (aggressiveness, activity, skill) map position and what buildings you are building. If you make small mistakes in a 1 person fam it can really end your round.

So lets just sit back and see what happens

rabble... rabble...

Down with all Quantums!!

Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong, but you guys that explored didn't wait until you had the stuff saved to fb a planet? What do you do with empty planets? They just grow pop and eat all your food so you starve! Noooooobs.

I'm just went with the best calc I came up with, and it happened to be with four planets explored.

Will be fun to see where people are at during 2nd wave of explos that's less than a day away

@Arby

Pop always gives you more than it costs so dont bring that up as your point here. Also to go further on the fact 'not able to fb one planet'... People who planned a  bit should know its perfectly possible. Also it 'only' costs you 3k more than exploring 4 instead of 6 which was suggested a bit earlier in this thread.

Exploring 6 is not nubish if you do everything according to it. But you cant forget to build farms like this noob did (points at himself)

food     24,371    

Only need to do a little planning to cover your food needs. I make a surplus of 2k food a tick currently. Takes forever for pop to grow in with a pop bonus. at -30% which i'd assume all customs have food won't be a hinderance (unless you forget to make HFs... )

Only error i had so far was going to bed and forgetting to build the last tick before i went to bed. Set some of my iron back 20 hours (sleep hours+con hours) but its only around 30-40 iron difference overall (hopefully )

i find that kinda lame they join and do NOTHING..

i say get them killed of right away and let new players join who want to play ? they have some set back but maybe they make it.. better than those inactives
