Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

I play S/S when I do pw or other galaxies and am in PW as well.   I still participate in wars, helping jump fleets, etc for the good of the family but generally other players just hold me back so I prefer to go S/S and out produce the guys playing with fam bank!

Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

Nice one tsu.

One life to live in is all that a person needs. When traveling down a road looking for the ascension to greater things, all that really matters is the way you got to the end, when you reach your final destination did you help or hurt more?

Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

Righto, so my excuse is that i've been quite busy, and then had to fight a war on day 3, and etc etc etc ...

But still, thought it'd be nice to compare! Lets see...

Zidi:  850k gc, 40k iron, 5k end, 700k rp
Nightwish:  740k gc, 46k iron, 7k end, 1.2m rp
Torqez:  110k iron, 10k end, 1.1m rp

Anyone else? smile

Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

850k cash now, some CF's came in.

Its tough to say noir, as that depends on the market. The main advantage to to specializing is probably that you don't have to research both sciences. But the exponential nature of the science system mitigates that to a large degree. I think the RP's to get 60% in one will probably get you 40% in 2  (guessing).

I went with both purely because I didn't want to be dependent on the market, i don't play enough or seriously enough these days to have any feel on how the market performs, so i just buy stuff when i'm short, otherwise i just do my own thing.

Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

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.

Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

Food is the easiest way to supplement your income when iron/endu/oct prices drop for a period of time. With adequate rez research, you can make loads of food per cost and can sell to your own fam, or even market.

Modestus Experitus

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Yeh i wouldn't try survive off food, most families these days provide enough food for their pop bankers as well, so its not that reliable.

Re: Triangulum - The Third Corner: An SS's Respite!

Hi Torqez,

I am playing SS for a few reasons,  first because I have very limited time, second because I really despise being told what to do. 

I wanted to work with the fam at first but straight away I got orders in my inbox so I just shut my family out and worked on my own. 

In truth they have been kind to just let me play by myself, but also I feel like they just ignore me and don't acknowledge my existence when they could try to incorporate my help in certain situations. 

I don't believe SS are meant to be greedy, but independent empires who can still provide for a family.

I am a Rev - make 2.6mil income and just buy bulk res off the market when i see it going cheap.

it is against the rule to kill off an SS player.


I have a problem with this rule, i have an ss in my fam  that i did not kill off and all was going well untill he attacked and tried to run somebody from the #1 ranked fam without asking the fam, if we list him rouge he will delete and screw our rd  so i think if the fam wants to kill some one off  early because there going ss it should be allowed.
