I just started research for hyper drive 5 but unfortunately its left me bone dry of crystals, I have however plenty of metal and deut. Anyone in the pds area wanna trade metal or deut for some crystals? I currently have about 300k metal, 10k crystals, and 150k in deut.

LOL - that's getting to be a common problem.  I spent a LOAD of crystal this weekend on research.  I'm bumping up my crystal mines on all planets...  Unfortunately I'm down to about 18k myself and I'm saving for that 320k monster.

macca already learned that the hard way, he just told me he got enough for nanite.... unfortunately he didnt realize the only thing he had was the requirements to make one. Now he needs 1 mill metal, 500,000 crystals, and 100,000 deut =o

Where the hell do you store all that res while it builds up?  It would cost a small fortune in deut just to keep the LCs moving, let alone the metal and crystal involved in building them in the first place!

A hundred colonies storing 10,000 metal = 1 million metal...

so 50 colonies @ 20,000 metal...

25 @ 40,000

10 @ 100,000 metal....

You could easily turtle that.

not as constly as you might think.

what i DID.... when i had a fleet, was keep moveing in LCs. i noticed one thing, send harvesters along with and it slows them down. two, don't send them out of the system you're in. simply find a DF field in it to harvest and send them there or something along those lines. for example, if i fleetsaved from one galaxy to another it would cost me about 50k for my whole fleet. When i fleetsaved within my own system it was as low as 2500 deut. that was for 300 ships by the way, 100 were cargos.

at most i was spending 10k deut a day, which isn't that much, you'd easily make that from one raid.

That's how I fleetsave now, although I try to remain within 5 systems.  There's not always a DF in my system.  I suppose I could send an attack probe to make one... but I like to get a little something every time I save, even if it's just 1200 something.

I'm having enough trouble getting used to 4 planets.  I don't know how you guys manage so many.  You gotta pick up the res periodically and move it around.  Maybe I need to get them all in a bunch like whut.  That would make fleet saving a breeze.
