You misunderstood me.

Those 100,000,000 colonists don't fuck. The 25,000,000 ones next door breed like rabbits.

No that's not possible. If they were homosexual, their numbers would start to decrease. They're just not hyper-sexual like they were before.

All those fighter and torp bases, shield generators, and factories. No room left for new housing after a certain point.

Oh yeah, and the huge monument that holds the ONE IGB terminal on each planet.

Yeah.. so after 100 million, the lines are too long at the ATM.

Go to Nem's BNT page. Figure out (Via the cargo hold numbers) how much the amount of fighters/torps you can carry as you upgrade.

Find the maximum number of upgrades and calculate the number of fighters/torps that person could have.

Have more then that number.

I feel decently safe with 1 million. Just one load of fighters and torps.

Then again, I can afford to lose planets.

If YOU can hold 1 million fighters, imagine how much Fate or Khyrnn has. Triple it.

So are we.

...except we make 750 million a tick - without spending turns.

And that's each of us. BM even makes more, I think.

It does seems once you get "the ball rolling" it is pretty sick. I find it disturbing that your total worth is someone elses "per tick" interest on their account...

Also with the loans...if you get a loan and don't pay it back it just kills your score? Not you ability to use the bank or use sector 0?

Near 50 heavily fortified planets, (48 I think) all with or around 100mil colonists each, with high credit production, plus interest.

I'm not overly agressive, and usually only hunt evil players in the negative "good" rating, or those players who have attacked/provoked me in the past.

Actually it was Ryu's sector, he had a high evil rating. I decided to alleviate the planets from him. Then setup defenses and stations.

You attempted to infiltrate an enemy sector, namely mine. Your infiltration was futile, and my people retalited as expected.

You'd think after the first time you wouldnt try again. However you tried three times.. All with similar results.

Invasion of my territories will not be taken lightly, and will be met with swift justice. Take no prisoners!

Lucky for you I have a softspot for Ferrel or I would have killed you in your sleep in her sector.

How do you tell passed through your sector? the user log thing? Or something else? Something's come through twice now (once it whacked out most of my mines and the second time it ate my fighters...never damaged my planets, though, for which I am eternally thankful, as I don't have many planets) and I'd kinda like to know who. Besides if it's a friend I feel kinda bad if they ran into my piddly-ass mine field. And last night the fighters were set to attack by mistake. I mostly wanted them in toll mode.

Also...I know you can set up a trade route from a Special to a target sector to buy mass amounts of colonists quickly. Is there a means to do it with Mines?
