I actually kinda like Literati. Playing off TWF we could go with The Galaxy or the Empire Forgotten. Confederation?
I like The Empire Forgotten.
Well, it looks like the cost for higher levels of plants goes up too, so you'll be paying significantly higher fixed costs as well.Quote:

Ok, I have a spaceport now but I'm leery of sending a trade route request because someone said it costs 20 credits and I don't want to run out of money trying to complete the tutorial. Is that something I need to be concerned about?
Ignore the tutorial. It gives bad advice. Try to maximize new revenue/credit spent. Trade routes are a good deal as you make the money back in about 7 hours.Quote:

:( Great, that's going to cost me several hundred credits.
Why several hundred?
I can't establish any trade routes for 24 hours. 2 trade routes at 7 an hour works out to 336. That's an equivalent of a whole day of income.
I'm wiping that guy off the map as soon as I catch up to him.
Never forget, never forgive.
It won't let me move my only fighter ship because "I don't have enough hangar capacity". How do I change that?
Edit: nevermind.
I've got one with you, do you have a fighter to protect it? I don't have space port..Quote:

Second trade slot, who wants it? 34:24:75:33
Me!
edit: You don't actually have a second trade route available. You tricked me.
I think you only get a new route with every five space ports?
When is that guild getting set up?
Does your tutorial base become your actual base once tutorial is finished?
It's taking ages to do tutorial and I don't wanna do the same shit again once it's finished.
You don't do the tutorial and then start fresh. The tutorial is just a guide helping you set up your first base *badly, according to Loki*. And you won't be getting a second base for another two or three days, probably.Quote:

So is there any use in specialising in construction/research/production, from a cooperation/trading perspective?
Ah. Apparently you need economy 20 or over to start a guild. So it's going to be up to one of you who got started yesterday, if you've gotten that far. I know Flixy and I are only Economy 7 and presumably won't reach 20 until sometime tomorrow.Quote:

Must have "economy 20 or above to create guild".
I'm on as Timbuk2, on Tatooine at M34:36:83:11
My desert moon at M34:33:11:31 is named Tatooine. :noob:Quote:

There, now set up on a barren wasteland called Debate n Discuss as Supreme High Bigjob Mushu :noob: spaceport ready to entertain plunderers
Wraith, are you sure having the fleet would prevent a trade route from getting looted? Because it seems the cheapest ships can't actually leave your base without a transport ship.
I do now, I was 10 minutes from completing fifth Spaceports.Quote:

It's yours, added now that I have credits. Nice! Cost of 7, profit of 4 to start with.Quote:

As for ground defenses, they argue to use the highest tech available and sell all of your older tech as you upgrade, since the competitive advantage in tech becomes significant.
Wraith you still want that Trade Route?
