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.

You mere mortals cannot fathom the sheer power harnessed in my mighty empire!!! Run in fear!!!

Now that you have discovered me, I must run and hide somewhere else.
