<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ooch, dang. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Well then I might make that level by tomorrow.

Re: Anyone Interested (Off Topic)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My score? Huge? Riiight. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
I got a level 9 hull, level 10 engines. I also have 2 planets. But my score is only 1543. I don't see how it can be so low either, but I guess that's the way it goes.

Re: Anyone Interested (Off Topic)
 

i believe your score is tied to your buying and selling. my score went up once i had a large hull and just spent 200 turns buying and selling.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well it's slowly getting bigger. And I spent this morning using 200 turns to buy and trade. I made about 8 million or so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Anyone Interested (Off Topic)
 

i think it may have something to do with your net worth now. i took out a 10,000,000 loan and my score appears to have dropped.

Re: Anyone Interested (Off Topic)
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I see I see... I'll be sure to limit any loans I take out. I haven't had to take any out but I thought about it once just to play around with different things I can do with this game. My score jumped up there a bit lately but not that much.

Tips:

1. If your in an alliance, and you want the other alliance members to access your worlds for resources gathering or trade, you need to make the world a Corprate World.

2. Once your hull get too big, trade becomes less effective. This is why you have planets. Have them produce resources that you then transfer to your ship and sell to other ports.

3. GET AN ESCAPE POD. If your ship is destroyed, the Pod will save your money.

4. SAVE MONEY in the IGB. It adds interest.

5. Transport population to your planets. Try to get them up to 25 million.

6. Produce about 15% energy if your world is supporting fighters as sector defenses.

7. Never attack a planet that is bigger than you.

8. Find another SPEICAL port like 871 as 0 will begin to kick you if your ship becomes to big.

9. Get your ship engines to 10. This will reduce the amount of turns used when moving through real space.

10. The more planets you have the more your wealth will increase.

11. Join an alliance or form one.

12. Use Becons to post Messages to players who enter your space.

13. Post some fighter and set them to TOLL to collect funds.

14. Establish Trade routes and use them.

15. To generate money on your planets, reduce the % of resources being created.
20 20 20 15 Pop Cash 10 10
5 5 5 15 Pop Cash 5 5
This will prompt the Population to produce Money and not resources.
