Gross Income over 1 Mil

Sorry pasted the wrong thing. All better now.

Now 1 turn later. Gross income down to a still respectable 727K.

Wow FC  . Is this the one you mention in the diplos thread, about changing some things?

Yes. I threw money at the Korx until they completed the MCC. Then I removed them as well.

Well, that's one way to spend your free time.

I suppose the 1M to 727K is the over 20K treasury penalty? Actually, I'm more interested in your logistics of 87. How many Hyperion Shrinkers did you capture anyway, the best I've gotten is an extra 1 for a logistics of 67. I do have a 1.3M per week income screenshot I could plop up though.   

plop away  . The more info we get out there the better the game is for all.

umm several... Currently 456 planets in the Torian Confederation so a few to many to scroll through.

I dread to think how long you spent on that 1 game.   

About 30 hours.

Is it just me, or is your influence practically smothering the map in your pics??  

I was thinking that the map looked a tad green!

WTG buddy! Still working on my strat for DA. Up to around the 50k a month stage after all spending at present. Got to refine a few things and stop taking low PQ planets at the start (by low i mean sub PQ9). The amount you have there is absurd

"Mmmn Human snack you come to Drengin!"

plop away  .

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz. Oh what a relief it is (Old Alka Seltzer commercial).   

The more info we get out there the better the game is for all.

As you say, knowing a thing can be done is half the battle and sharing info like this helps everyone's game. I agree that this is a good thing.

However, it's known that certain developers object to what they refer to as "obscenely high incomes". There's a fine line between helping others improve their game and what could be taken as a request for further nerfage.

In any case, I know your heart is pure and therefore you can do no wrong in my eyes. Just be aware of this duality and I bow to your judgement.

Clearly, this level of income is what you can achieve towards the end of a game. You're not going to hit a seven figure income in the second year of a game. But this does demonstrate what is possible by focusing on income early and often.

Simply having a high income at the end of the game, in and of itself, doesn't help you win the game nor does it even give you that much benefit in your final score. What does help you win games and post high scores is to have a high income throughout the game.

Making 50K per turn while the AI's are making 25K per turn is far more important than the 1M income at the end of the game. But believe me the only way to be making that kind of income torwards the end of a game is to have focused on income throughout the entire game.

Well, being able to buy a couple dozen or so top of the line ships can help you win the game.

If you have enough in the bank you don't need to have a big military (which also helps with a good weekly income). When war is declared, you simply design the best ship for the job and purchase enough to finish the job.

All I can say is...

WOW!   

I am thinking of starting my first Gigantic map and hope I can achieve 1/2 of your posted income. Nice Job Fuels.

man... i'm happy when i can maintain an income thats in the green... nicely done

Its cause you control the whole galaxy, why havent you won yet?

Its to show what is possible. And I have won.
