try for atleast 1600 baseships for a holding action... ( well that will be the numbers in about 40 turns )

Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
 

Are you serious??!!?? 1600???!!! Holy 5h!t!!

Well, uh, I'm not quite there, but uh, maybe sometime relatively soon...I really need to construct a few more construction bases...and everything!!

Not everything said in a game's thread can be trusted...

Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
 

I know Narf. From what I can figure out, it is logistically impossible to have 1600 baseships in another 40 turns. The average baseship takes about ~10 to 14 turns to build on a orbital construction spaceyard. And that's with enhanced construction capabilities. With all the colonizing that had to take place quickly, and the construction of resource extraction facilities on colonies, etc, no one would have the resources right now to support anywhere near 1600 baseships, even in another 40 turns.

I bet no one has over 350 war ships at this moment.

I don't think Tesco's estimate is unreasonable. I know my production capability is growing exponentially. Too bad resources only increase linearly.

Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
 

Last game i lost like 1400 base ships in 3 turns... and had another 1200 to back them up... and i was in 3rd...

remember that....

Well Renegade. You are both right and wrong http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The Horde certainly has more than 350 warships, but as maintenance is a problem at the moment, most go straight into mothball.

In 40 turns though, it will be another matter. The Atmospheric converters are kicking in at an increasing rate, giving room for more resource production, and at the same time lowering the SY capacity. I’m working hard at the moment to get enough orbital SY’s up to take in the slack. In 40 more turns the clusters should be very close to fully developed (unless the wars start http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) and mineral production would be getting close to the 10 mill mark. Should be able to have a helluvalot more than 1600 ships by then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
