Planing in advance: This is what I do all the time. First you need to understand how to make the most money from the smallest investment (at start it is SOS). Once you find out plan to extrapolate it to the max. With that I know precisely how much money I make per week. Now I know what I can spend. I have build a spreadsheet that tell me the cost of any ship with any module, the time every module need to build, the cost in research points of any MK for any module. With that information I can research the appropriate tech levels. I can order the appropriate modules so that all needed modules be available at the appropriate time. I do the same for the upgrades. The higher the MK of the modules the more you need to plan because they take longer to build. Some of my modules take now 8 months to build, you can imagine the planing. I have close to 2000 manufacturing bays running full time. Lots of planing, lots of money  Do not be afraid, it comes slowly as you learn the game and also only if you want to become a top performer in the game. |

W.O.W For your information 'planing' is spelt as 'planning'. And Antilak...are you a mathematician or what? I'm not really bothered to count all these stuff. Back at school, I was terrible with maths, and now I've forgot everything I've learnt. What? "graph linear equations and see where it intersects"??? Duh...  And your right about "sprinkling SLBs like rain in the cosmos", every time I do SOS missions, I carry a dozen SLBs and just dump them in the nearest systems. 70k RPs an hour for a sucker like me is really awesome. MAU XXXs!! Woohoo!! Strategic Nukes? Well...close but not yet. |

If you guys really want to correct madden, it's "you're right about.." And your right about "sprinkling SLBs like rain in the cosmos",

The spreadsheet somebody(s) put together: http://forum.astro-galaxy.com/index.pp/topic,8838.msg73472.html#msg73472Do what you enjoy. That's what I do. I don't always follow the numbers. |

What a handy li'l info dump, Antilak! Way cool. My thanks to all involved in putting this together and disseminating it.
Notes to newbs like moi: Spent some time/effort/resources putting together a dedicated Search and Rescue/Combat Assault craft using the goodies generated by SEA graduation. As a bunch of folks noted in previous posts, getting out into the Great Beyond and running SOS/COM ops ASAP is a goooood thing. I made some progress putting in a gas station @ Gamma Alpha Centauri. Plans are to use it to facilitate SOS/COM missions and to maybe make a few pennies. FYI, it's a public station currently selling Fuel (although there isn't much to trade, yet) and buying Meds and Food. From other Forum posts, I've gathered that becoming a Merchant isn't too sensible, so far. Am hedging my bets a bit and hoping that, in the (near?) future, players will be able to set their own prices which would make Commerce a profitable venture. We'll see...
What are y'all doing to progress? I'm really interested in your input.

Im pretty much sending my Scout VII ships to the 4th rings with cargo filled with fuel and meds, earning cash and using those to manutacture MAUs to be installed in a COM ship Im building. Many thanks to Martok and co for leaving SCORP, when u guys were around I was scared to use the millions I had saved up, for fear of some emergency, but after you left I managed to double my power.
Oh yes and in case you didnt know u can optimize ur ships at the Earth Shipyard. Check it out, but I dont think u shd spend ur cash buying those atm.
