TG contest question

Very creative thinking Alasyr. Even if Drake is correct and it doesn't work out, that's the way to push the envelope.

I think the next patch is going to make that more difficult to do though. According to ColdSteel one of the fixes will be to not allow abandoning planets above a certain pop threshold. I guess you could have two starbases, one with miners and one with cargo storage for the pop, but it seems like a lot of work.

Drake, I confirmed what you said about the +5% production bonus for culture not working. Has that been sent to MM?

Nope, been procrastinating. I'll go ahead and do that now.

Thanks for the link and the info but they want too much personal information on me to join. Good luck to all those that play in it.

I agree with you 100% on this one. I've been telling the company not to ask for anything but a confirmable e-mail account and a desired username, but they say, "Well everyone else asks for all this stuff and it gives us valuable demographic data" and then they wonder why more people aren't willing to sign up. Not much that I can do about that, sorry.

I think if you abandon a planet, it should be taken over by a 'rebel' faction with your race settings, like when a planet actually rebells. Either that, or you have to have enough transports in place with space enough to take the population away.

I mean, I like being the absolute dictator & everything, but I'd like my people to have a little more spine when I tell them to commit mass-suicide, geez.

I also think spacing your population should affect happiness in a negative way. Hmmm. Although if you're bloodthirsty, maybe the ppl you spaced just weren't well liked, in which case the rest of your people love you all the more, heh.

Ok, I lied. 400 million should probably be the limit.
