just posted another win! w00t dtrotzjr

Good going dtrotzjr...   

Calling all B.C. Space Orcas, we r no.1 again...     

Now lets put some, clear blue water  , between us and the diplo's, how about 1/2 million points?

Perhaps now is not the time to gloat but visit the diplo's thread and offer a consoling comment on there fall from top spot. Also u can show off yr no.1 medal.    

Congratulations everyone!!!!!!! The Diplos woke up the sleeping whale, and we responded quickly and effectively. Hopefully we can continue attracting the quality players that joined us after the the Diplos surpassed us. Lets enjoy our new medal, but I assure you they will not give up easily. They still have almost twice the active membership that we do. If they start second or third characters, they have the capability to post scores quickly. Again, a masterful job done by everyone. Lets put some space between them so we can give our Doom Rays a rest as they are really Smokin' right now. Bye for now and keep up the good work. TBAY

congrats.

That's very sportsman-like and humble of you Fuels Chief. I hope our Empire would return the favor should yours surpass us again.

"So what happens now?" "We face each other as God intended, sportsmanlike, no tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone." You mean that you'll put down your harpoon and I'll but down my Doom Ray and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people?"

Errrm...no can't see that happening. Better keep those Doom Ray's hot. The diplo's should know Doom Ray beats Harpoon every time.  

congrats.

Fuels Chief is certainly a man of few words. Congratulations are indeed in order, if only perhaps for the limited time it takes us to regain the lead.

Meglobob's tip of the day:-

No. 10

Starbases to the left, starbases to the right.

It is possible to have 4 starbases per sector. 16 starbases can overlap 1 planet. There effects r cumlative. 16 maxed out economy starbases overlapping yr tech, manufacturing capitals, precursor mines, librarys has a extremely powerful effect. 16 starbases muliply by nearly 400% tech pts or manu pts, so 300 for example becomes 1500. 1 all powerful dreadnought per turn anyone?

Now I am a "metaverse millionaire".

  Syrrus  

7 digits sure look impressive.  

Now I am a "metaverse millionaire".

Congratulations - beat me to it by a couple of hours   

Don't slow down though...   

Meglobob's tip of the day:-

No. 11

To score the most metaverse points u should play with those settings:-

Galaxy size - Gigantic.
Habitable Planets - Abundant.
Number of planets - Abundant.
Number of stars - Abundant.
Star density - Loose clusters.
Anomalies - Abundant.
Tech rate - Very fast.
Military conquest victory only enabled.
Suicidal level.
Maximum number of opponents.

U do not score extra points for using intensive algorithms, disabling tech trading etc..., so u may as well leave them unchecked for a high score.

Meglobob's tip of the day:-

No. 13

Unlucky for some.

But not u, if u choose to be exceptionally lucky, a +25% luck bonus for a meagre 1 abilty pt has to be the bargain of a lifetime in GC2. No matter what race u play, try to have some luck, over yr entire game it will make a difference. Other ways to get luck r play Torians +10 and Altarians +30 free luck bonuses. Also the Universalists party gives u +25 luck, with the additional +5 economics, +10 pop. growth and +10 defense being a nice addition.

Go on, buy yr lucky charm today.

Now lets put some, clear blue water , between us and the diplo's, how about 1/2 million points?

Just started my new char with 272k.
Now we are more than 300k away ...

Meglobob's tip of the day:-

No. 14

The perfect 1st turn?

Put industrial capacity upto 100%.

Put taxes down to where yr homeword is at 100% approval.

Rush buy a factory on yr homeworld, build it on highest manufacturing bonus tile, do not be scared of building on a precursor mine. If u have high research bonus tiles ie...precursor library or 300%, rush build lab instead. Factorys r more important early on than labs, so u can churn out hordes of colony ships.

Set tech research to 100%.

Research impulse drive or tech leading to impulse drive.

Move starting colony ship to homeworld, put 500m citizens on board.

If moon less than PQ 8 do not colonise. If 8, ie...u playing the Korx colonise it. Consider same early rush buy strategy outlined for homeworld. Otherwise move colony ship towards closet cluster of star systems, aim to colonise highest PQ planet ASAP.

Flagship hopefully moves directly opposite yr colony ship for max. exploration but only if a star system or two r there to explore. It's main mission is anomalies, secondary mission revealing location of new worlds to colonise.

  U have just got off to a great start, good luck.
