Tesco, cheers for the steer - I do the storage malarkey already but do primarily built mineral storage only

as for building ships, I do have 2 orbital spaceyards above homeworld but I generally only churn out colony vessels (for which I use small transports rather than colony ships as I think they look better)

dont even build any military vessels until I bump into something nasty and green

Growltigga, just don't build mineral storage,, each race uses up more of a particular resource, example, if you play oraganic, then you will use more organic resources then otherwise, temporal, I believe uses more Radioactives, etc. So see what your traits are, that will determine which way to go in storage, TS gave good advice, if you don't save and build, your in trouble down the line, (remember, you have game coming up with The Gryphin)

PS. unreliable informants report the Gryphin hasn't been on the forum as much because he has been practicing, getting ready for your international challenge

You are right Maccy my boy but I play the unexciting uninteresting Solar Federation aka the Terran Confederation to you lot

By way of special abilities, I dont go for anything exciting like organic, temporal etc just plain ol' fast ships, advanced storage or summat like that, I can't wait until I get the scope on modding so I can come up with the abilities I would choose eg good lawyers (richest race in the galaxy), good drinkers (happiest race in the galaxy) etc

may be you should join in on this game - Guffin may just get all pervy on his tod

"Pervy on his tod"? Next GT will think i "gyer and gimble in the wabe".
::Copy and pasting GTs build tactics into SEIV.mdb ::
I shouldn't give him this tip:
One use for stored Organics is to trade them for Minerals. Most races I've met will do it every time. It helps if you give them 5% extra in the swap.
Sitting here wondering if those are GTs true play styles.

GT, I thank you for the gratuitous generoisity offer to partake in the international scene. However, I must demur at the present time, The Challenge was legally and justly given and accepted, therefore, I shall await the outcome along with everyone else who has been following this raising in crescendo of the beginnings of an international incident. Possibly when you two have completed bashing each other, I and maybe TS, Director Tsaarx, PheonixD & some of the others may get together with both of you to enlighten the prospects of the game. I look foreward to hearing the renditions of the turn by turn bout.

Gryphin, The Hood sank because it wasn't armored enough and the magazines were put in poor locations.
