LOL LOL LOL

well I kind of meant in the beggining of the game when you sometimes have like +10000, and just buy a few units!

are you doing the same thing I usually do late on in a game, and every planet is full with monoliths and valve improvers?

Ugh.
How about "please don't break the forum formatting by posting enormous, uncropped images"...

So the question remains, what if you had this many leftover resources at the end of a turn and every ship/cnstruction yard in your empire is building ships of the baseship and larger size?

Then, in a nutshell, you have too few spaceyards. You should be scrapping a facility on every planet that doesn't have a spaceyard to build one. And you should't be building baseships, you should be building Spaceyard Bases to add even more spaceyards.

I do not play much pbw, only doing one with star trek mod, never done stock, and I only play ai on solo, fine with bonuses and stuff to the ai, so it is always on hardest, I still consider myself a noob as I have not yet beated human players.

but at the same time on that pic, I was sort of thinking the same, I would build more space yards, with resources like that, it is good and fun to stockpile for a pic, but unless it was a game to see how much you can stockpile, I would be building like 100 ships a turn!

if you cant beat your opponent through technology and superior ships, you can usually do it through numbers! and with resource numbers like that, you should win!

if I can ask, is that a stock game? I can not think how you can have so much coming in with that ammount of systems that is showing on the pic....

Yes it is a stock game, and I currently have build ques set up so that about two hundred baseships finish building every eight turns. Look at the maintenance resource cost in the pic. Oh and btw, I guess the fact that I have 27 fully developed sphereworlds (180 monoliths per sphereworld) helps with the overabundance of resources .

Oh and sorry about the large fromat picture. I didn't realize it was that big.

I only have one word to add Kerensky: retroseries rule. Okay, that was two.
