Check out score, especially the guy with only 150k resources. I have around 250, and you have around 350.

Though that might be because I have 100 min 50 org and 80 rads :twisted:. Nm.

Oh, snap, first place! Can I design an empire or what? :D :wink:

Why does Tobor have 80 tech levels but fewer research points than most of us? That doesn't make sense?

Booyah's the poor soul who's only got 150k resources. For a second I thought that Dalton got fucked over again. :lol:

Is Booyah using a 5k point empire?

Damn he must've lowered himself to 50/50/50, hope the points were useful somewhere else...

...and I'm 8th place. But I won't be for long :twisted:.

Booyah might've taken the Naturalists trait. You get an extra 3k empire points to play with, but all your planets can hold fewer facilities than normal. Not a good trait to take, IMO.

2nd place, just behind Trog. The shareholders will be pleased.

Racial techs, probably.

You and me built our empires simply, just trying to create a solid race. Brian's is specially designed for grabbing as many colonies as possible, and goodness knows what everybody else had had in mind when they were making theirs.

Well, here's to keeping things simple working out.

Malakari LLE & Stellar Imperium - are you guy supposed to be using the default shipset or have I missed a link?

The logo isn't the one in the new show, but it's the one that shipset came with. Dunno what it is. Oh well.

Just ask, I think. Mostly, no rules.. do what you like.

But for the sake of fun, no murdering players with bombing rampages to their homeworlds. That isn't an issue in this mod though, since homeworlds are nigh invincible to all but a determined assault. If beaten, we usually offer or request a protectorate or subjugation treaty.

Em. Other rules? I forget.

Excessive use of mines is generally frowned upon, but that's not as big of an issue in this mod. This is pretty much a free for all.

I'm rather sorry that we decided upon no RP. With Kryptonians under General Zod, Cybertronians under Optimus Prime, the BSGers under Adama, and a few orginal empires, it would be interesting, to say the least.

Speaking of the Cybertronians, Kojiro's not in much better shape than Booyah. What did you do, Kojiro?

--It should be one of the shipsets that comes with the either mod or the SEIV. I can't remember which. At any rate, it's time for bed soon....

Sigh... I told them both that Naturalist wasn't a good idea.

EDIT: Trogs, he's talking about mines.

Well, I've become tired to the point of becoming stupid with it. I think I'll sign off now...

Captain Booyah would like to take back his empire file and do it over. I expect Kojiro would not protest either.

Shall we restart then? Give me your empire file, CaptBooyah. Email it to radioactiveglow@gmail.com, and tell me when you send it.
