Just imagine the kind of resources you could be pulling in if you formed that into a planet and filled it with monoliths!

No maintenance, and you don't deplete the value each turn.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is that in a Finite game? or do the asteroids lower the percentage because of mining? If that is the case, then making planets out of them would be an option, if I can wait that long.

Re: Hey, another question
 

Asteroids do deplete in value when you mine them, even in Infinite games. I always thought that was kind of silly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Hey, another question
 

Narrew, it seems to me you succeeded in being a "true capitalist" (exploitationist), wanting to loot no matter what the consequences.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">HAHA, I don't know if that is a compliment or not. If not, I bet you would consider it explotion when I change all my planet atmospheres to Methane since that is what I breath http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif muhahaha, if I could get a remote atsmophere converter, I would make a fleet of them and change the universe to my needs.

Re: Hey, another question
 

You should be able to see the effects of changing that setting mid-game as it has nothing to do with the map itself.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">YEAAA, back to exploiting for me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Actually I wont change the settings, so I don't get used to something that is not the norm in PBW games.

Re: Hey, another question
 

Remote mining is not very useful in stock se4 (the PBW norm), actually. It is just so easy to start building planets within the first 110 turns or so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
