Did some math . This game is going to break some records (hopefully we don't break PBW first (again!)).

First a recap for those who don't play.
- Full tech, no intel, no talisman, 5000 points
- Each player start with a closed off cluster. Need to use stellar to make contact.
- Cluster is 13 systems each with 14 huge planets + 10 large Homeworlds.

Then some numbers:
- Without Ring/Sphereworlds (but with AS) thats a cool 5710 facility slots when converted.
- Fully developed gives 5000 + slots for Monoliths and Minerals miners.
- With average bonuses (including Jubilant) and all systems facilities up thats easily 10 Million Minerals + a lot of org'n'rads.

So; Question is when (and if) we can get the cluster fully developed before the wars start, and what to do with 10 Million + Minerals:
- 192 Temporal Yards at full speed can only use 2 Mill.
- On average, maintanance for a 1000 ships fleet would be 2 Mill.
- 1000 BSYs on full speed is 2,5 Mill

Hmmmm.

I bet we break PBW before we get any serious conflicts on the way. Like, fleets of 1000 ships will be only scouting party and way to break someone's defences will require about all available ships (10000+) in one fleet. That will be serious test for server to calculate the outcome.

I imagine we will break PBW. At that time we will switch to a script Ruatha used and I will hose the files on my server here at work. No limits.

i have my turn ready, but pbw is down

i hope i'll catch it before the turn goes

SOunds like you need to ask for some donations to upgrade the PBW server to cope with incresaed turn processing needs - once SE5 is out that might be a priority.

We don't even know if something like PBW will be compatible with SEV. Hopefully, but we can't assume anything until we see what MM has in store for us!
