Resourcer:
Another key component to any family is the resourcer, the resourcer in general produces the needed resources for the family. If your able to land into a rather active family than chances are you'll be running a fam bank strategy. If this sort of a fam there will most likely be 2-3 main resourcers, each focusing on different aspects of producing, but usually all making iron in one form or another.
Being a resourcer doesn't mean that you just sit around and build however, another important role of a resourcer is retaker. The main attackers of the fams main focus/priority will be breaking portals and raping bankers or simply clearing threats. Until (or if) the attackers get enough morales to do this and retakes aswell, the resourcer (and bankers) should help out on retakes as much as possible just sending 4-6 retakes a day will greatly help your fam out.
Now back to fam bank, usually in the first week or 2 only 2 resourcers will be jumped and will be making massive incomes of resources. As with the attacker the resourcer is only as good as his banker, and more important no one is better than their fam.
You'll be wanting at the beginning to be making lots of iron and some endu (about 75-25/ 80-20) the fam should pick out a farmer so food shouldn't be your problem.
Later in the round depending on which resourcer you are (or if your the only/primary) you'll be making just about everything that needs to be made and might have as many planets as a banker.
honestly resourcer is one of the easiest roles, your best idea would be to listen to your leader/team leaders advice on what to make and when to make it and you'll do great. The main achievement any resoucer can achieve is pumping his attacker with resources to produce his death fleet ![]()
