MBBS mode is off in this game

what happens when the port is fully upgraded? If you upgrade it some each day it will eventually become fully upgraded...correct?


Yes. Hopefully by then you will have a L4 and you can planet trade. Steal everything off a SSS port, or buy it down and megarob it. Then take the planet to the fat xBB port and sell it. Then maybe steal it and sell it again!

Suddenly you're Busted!

Dr Who,
Could you please expand on why it is a different game when you have lvl 4's? I understand that at that point I can warp my planets around, but I want to use it to the fullest advantage. What would you do when you have 4 lvl 4's?


If you havent made alot of cash and you have 2 lvl4's and some maxed ports .. you can use your lvl4's to sell off EQ and then SDT it back ..
If you have high exp and some good cash to invest you can upgrade xxS ports and buy it down and then RT it back .. if Megarob is on of course you would megarob it ..
If the game has highly modified planets and you have alot of colos (doubtful as a red) .. You can pwarp between adjacent ports and steal eq .. (expensive on ore production) ..

I'm esure there are more ..

Not sure where he gets 2% from?


I was thinking about how if you upgrade a bit at a time and steal it you keep the port at 100%, but when you sell off the product it's down to nothing. Then you have to start stealing it back before it regenerates away.




That's why you ideally want a verry low regen .. it means that the EQ will not wither away with regeneration ..

Quick question, what are the ratios for stealing in gold? I can't seem to find them anywhere, I'm probably just not looking hard enough but it's easier to ask here anyway, thanks. BTW, is SDT Steal Dump (on planet) Trade? I'm not too sure about any of theses: SDT, SST, SSM. Just wondering.

SSM: Steal Sell Move
SDT: Steal Dump Transport
SST: Steal Sell Transport
SDF: Steal Dump Flee
SSF: Steal Sell Flee
RT: Rob Transport

Settings will make each method more or less profitable ..
SSF profit is higher than SST and that's better than SSM
SDF profit is higher than SDT
RT is really used when your buydumping ports and you want to rob the creds back .. really high exp is needed for this to prove highly profitable usualy ..

SDx and SSx 's deciding factor is planetary trade % .. I'me not sure when you would want to use SSM .. maybee for red exlporation? .. I know it comes in handy when your reds with low exp are using it to explore and making a little cash at the same time ..

Hope this helps .. and it's just my take on it so I'm sure someone will correct me

Regards

in this game the MBBS is Off...so I suppose I can not megarob.
It also has planetary trade at 60%....so which should I use..
I guess SST would be more profitable...right?

nod. sst is the best you can do unless you can set up ssf, but you would need 3 players online simultaneously to do that.
