In my opinion the best times to upload your files is after everyone else has upped theirs. Then when you up yours you can efectively wait for one minute and then play the next turn. Then the cycle starts over again.

Definitly the most convinient way to play.

It's good to have you back Baal - well until your attack fleets set my planets ablaze...

The Terran Federation is moving on up - from 7th to 4th in just a matter of a few turns. But I don't think I'm anywhere near Dragonlord...

I think I am going to catch Dragonlord pretty quick now. I did a little exploring, and found what one might call a tresure trove. And, it's all mine.

CaptSpoogy · #**105** July 1st, 2001, 06:20 PM

Most of the surrounding area around my systems is dead space. Lots of systems - but little or nothing to be found.

I have found a lot of dead systems too. I just keep going though. I made some extreme range explorers that hold 5500 supplies, and I just keep sending them farther out.

My little trove is, needless to say, going to take a few months to reach with a colony ship.

Maybe I should have explored with colony ships.

My empire is stalled. For the Last 4 turns my colonising fleet has been travelling to the only other colonisable system I found so far. But to keep my mineral stockpile from decreasing too fast I had four planetary shipyards just sitting there, not building anything. That never happened to me before in this early stage of a game I am usually rich enough to keep on building, even if its mines or such.
Oh well, at least I have some armed destroyers with me in case I run into someone else

Phoenix-D · #**108** July 2nd, 2001, 04:01 AM

Mine is stalled too, but only because we're waiting for Spoogy :P

I've been running negatives in radiactives and organics for a while, but my stockpiles are OK so I'll just throw up more producers some time.

Sorry for the delay. Uploading now. I still have positive production in all areas, looking forward to the next turn.

Well, I'm not running much of a debt anymore either. -1 lol. I'll be broke in, oh, a couple hundred centuries
