trade ships do not always buy low sell high, nor do they always trade what you want them to trade...

eg.. they sometimes buy unobtainium at high prices (at a planet that doesn't make them) and sell them low (to a planet that makes them by the bucketload)

Is that something you have observed since the latest trading changes? And is this if you are using trade routes, or if the trade ships are picking their own destinations?

I'm not looking to even out resources, I have no idea why anyone would want that. I want to mass steel on the planets that I care about.

It would be nice if I could filter planets by resources stocked.

I've got more then 700 planets now (just overtook Flyingmana). Of those about 400 have military bases. Why because eventually you get to the stage I am at where a well developed planet just can't support any more fleets. Thus I like to even out my resources, 300k - 400k on each planet tends to work well for me, enough to generate a fleet to kill most attackers if I choose.

Also I can filter planets by resources stocked, I've got a nice spreadsheet that extracts planet data now. It is very handy to find which planets have enough resources to build battleship attack fleets.

when's the latest change? those were from a while back and non routes.

Last week or so.

[Gustav Kuriga]

well, I'm in the top 30 on fleets, that's about it.

Anyone else having trouble opening the messages box?

Assaulting Planet: assault in progress -- raining death from space
   destroyed 820 of 10232 steel
   destroyed 4429 of 177087 people
   destroyed 5286 of 62692 food
   destroyed 35 of 585 antimatter
   destroyed 14 of 137 consumergoods
   destroyed 949 of 10376 hydrocarbon
   society level reduced 5 of 53

Is this supposed to do anything because the soc level of the planet being attacked certainly did not decrease.

I've been noticing something similar, here is my take on each. Each society level must be reduced by its own level before anything happens. So for example the planet you are attacking is SL 53, thus you must do 53 damage to the society level to drop it down to 52.

I took a home planet after 3 turns of besieging it; and another player had been attacking it for a long time, dunno how long. It was society 47 when I took it. So apparently the feature does function.

[Kai]

scout defence is the stupidest piece of !@#$ in the world

[Vellos]

It is indeed.

Dave needs to fix it.

[Kai]

Is that an ultimatum or a demand or just a restatement?

[Gustav Kuriga]

Hey Dave, I'm having issues with the messaging system on my GundamMerc account, do you know what's going on?

[Ramiel]

I like Scout Defence

I wish we had transport ships as well as Arcs though...
