Default Re: Not a newbie question

Imp. Fyron: You also need to take into account the resources not being obtained by a resource generating facility (e.g., mineral mine) during the time it takes to build a VIP. And the cost in resources of the VIP. So they are less valuable than you have calculated. I haven't done the math, but I suspect it will take 6 years to break even, not 5. That's 60 turns! I think you'd be better off colonizing moons, if they are available. (BTW, all those cruddy tiny planets/moons are great for making units. They will be especially great in SEIVG for making drones.)
