Anyone Interested (Off Topic)

Catching up?! Man you have doubled his score already. I gotta figure out how to do this!

OMG! Now how the Hell did I do that!

[CNCRaymond]

I checked, and he used something like 4000 + turns in the Last 24 hours.

Atrocities has played this game for a couple of years. He knows how to rack up the points.

I would suggest that you do as he does, and sit on your turns for a while, get your hull size up to 25 and then create a ton of planets, say twenty or so, then spend your turns and money setting the colonist level between ten and twenty five million.

(I am thinking about giving everyone a turn bonus of 2500 turns except for Atrocities and myself who have had more turns and game time. Let me know if you would like this.)

Nodachi's Tip of the Day: Once you've got a nice little empire quit buying colonists. Watch for your planets approaching 100,000,000 population and use those to seed new worlds.

Hum, I hadn't noticed that. On my login screen all I have availible is the FAQ. Odd, but good.

This would be nice but whatever you decide is fine.

I have 24 planets and 1M in colonists. I'm going to take my next few hundred turns and seed those worlds up to alot more.

[CNCRaymond]

I found it. Thanks. I never really looked at the bottom of the LOGIN screen before. Funny how I missed it.

Yes, I will give everyone say for myself and Atrocities a 2500 turn bonus later today.

This should help out a lot of you who are learning the game and those of you who had learned at a great cost.

CNCRaymond: Nice, different sort of game. Those bonus turns helped I used a bunch earlier today wandering around
