11/11/2022 Topic: Greetings and Basic Questions Thread HeroofEvil	Greetings. Just giving a hello and to introduce my presense in the game. No mechanic questions at this time as the game system is intuitive enough to grasp. I see a small number of guilds, is there a guild looking for new players or should I continue to build up my assets before approaching this topic? edited by HeroofEvil on 11/11/2022
11/15/2022 Topic: A question in Economy HeroofEvil	My corporation - AstroAscendingAsses: AAA - we got your butt covered is primarily focused on mineral production. So, I sell it to cities where the demand is high. Logically this makes sense so I can profit and grow. But ethically, what can I do to help the economy of players in the game? As a first thought: I guess once I have enough "inventory" of the resource stocked up, I should open up trade offers to sell for those to purchase and fulfill orders for those looking to buy. Are there other ways economy can grow for corporations? The question really is: what can I do to help economy for all corporation (or at least as many as possible) to grow? edited by HeroofEvil on 11/15/2022

11/18/2022 Topic: Greetings and Basic Questions Thread HeroofEvil	Okay, here's a question if you mind not: What is the Dark Star Empire? They seem like a daunting force that scatter themselves around the solar systems.

11/28/2022 Topic: Mission Delivery Point - Non-Existent HeroofEvil	Greetings, Just posting a bug I may have come across in regards to a mission I recently took. The event ID is: 227412 Start: 164602 I took a mission from Pluto - Colony 137 - 14:11 to deliver to Outpost 881. Outpost 881 does not seem to exist. This WAS an outpost on Pluto a few days ago, but now the outpost is Outpost 139 in a different location. [color=]Corp Quest Cargo for Ningxia A Destitute Miner named Apta needs to haul a shipment of 1,000 Basic Minerals to Outpost 881.

11/29/2022 Topic: Journal Entry - Building up a New City HeroofEvil	A journal entry of my experience growing Pluto and the city of Lihue. I am Hero of Evil, CEO of the AstroAscendingAsses AAA - We got your butt covered! The purpose of this journal entry is to document a way of growing a planet's populous and prosperity. In doing so, I have created a basic framework that can later be applied to more alien, far-off planets as the corporations of this game continue to stretch to the stars. Applying this framework may help to grow these distant cities, enabling them to build and defend from the universe unknowns. I do not state that what I present in this journal to be the best-practice or best-profit process, simply a telling of the steps I took. Before I begin, I need to make a call out to the following corporations that drove a large number of resources to the city presented in this journal entry: Peace Corps Armatura Logistics Dragnic Industries To learn some foundations of how the game functions in terms of growing a planet and to help all corporations expand their reaches, I took it upon myself to experiment with a relatively easy project under the safety of the Sol solar system. Here, I started with Pluto and the city of Lihue. Milky Way > Alpha > Orion > Sector 1 > Sol > Pluto > Lihue [122070520 : 190429767] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pluto, an icy, desolate, dwarf-planet with minimal resources and a scarce populous. Project Start Date: 15-Nov-2022 Game Turn: 162712 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pluto | Lihue Name X : Y Population Cities Growth Rate Lihue 20:17 109,321 1 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Theoretically speaking: For a city to grow it needs resources, infrastructure, services, and entertainment. These are the four (4) things that drive humans to new locations around the world. I am not certain if the game follows this exact algorithm, but this is the one I applied to this practice building Distribution, Infrastructure, Public Services and Recreation industries in the city. Preparation: -Build Freighters. You will need to import resources to the city from where they are being massed produced. Start with two (2) but expect to increase this amount as the demand of your industries increases. -Build Items>Structures (4). These will be turned into the core industries in the new city. -Have a sustainable revenue. Starting up a small, undeveloped city will not make you money, in fact, it will cost you. At least from this experience, the cost of purchasing resources and running maintenance will be greater than the revenue you generate from the city initially, however, if your sustainable revenue exceeds the loss in return, the long term can have great results for the target city. -Know the markets. Shop around for where you’re going to get the best value for the needed resources. Corporate Trade is always ideal to get the best value for the products you need. There are times you will have to turn to purchasing directly from cities; if demand is low, so is the cost. Startup: 1) I announced to other players my interest to grow and build up Pluto, this brought in some drive to begin moving more resources to the city (every little bit counts). 2) Built a Distribution Center (1) - This allowed me to sell resources the city demanded and store a large number of resources to run the local industries. 3) Built city Infrastructure (1) - Civil Service: In theory, you need houses, roads, work, etc. to entice a population to grow. 4) Built city Public Services (1) - Civil Service: In theory, you need basic services for the city folk to make their lives more livable, prolonging their existence in a harsh environment. 5) Built city Recreation (1) - Civil Service: In theory, people get bored, so we need to entertain them. Once the four (4) industries were established, I proceeded to level them each from 1 and upward, ensuring I do not overstep my infrastructure limit. Then, continued to follow the cycle below. The Cycle: Once the initial industries are set up ... - For each industry, cycling through each service, one at a time, checking which service was in the highest demand before producing that service. - For each industry, I produced for the city the selected service in 1-day intervals (144 turns). - After calculating the needed resource to run the selected service for 144 turns, I then purchased and shipped these supplies to the city. The Results: Project Start Date: 15-Nov-2022 Game Turn: 162712 Initial City Stats, started by building only Distribution Center & Infrastructure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pluto | Lihue Name X : Y Population Cities Growth Rate Lihue 20:17 109,321 1 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 16-Nov-2022 Game Turn: 162857 Results after one day (144 turns). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pluto | Lihue Name X : Y Population Cities Growth Rate Lihue 20:17 110,581 1 4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 23-Nov-2022 Game Turn: 163885 Built Public Services & Recreation on this day. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pluto | Lihue Name X : Y Population Cities Growth Rate Lihue 20:17 118,698 1 10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 29-Nov-2022 Game Turn: 164735 Results taken on this day. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pluto | Lihue Name X : Y Population Cities Growth Rate Lihue 20:17 132,275 1 20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: In just under 15 days of play, the city has grown in population by nearly 21% with the growth rate increase of 2000%. Only time will tell how much more this will increase or flatten out through continual growth. An additional note: Raiders are dicks and they are the "nice ones" in the galaxy. You will need to defend a new city; it will not be equipped to do so otherwise. This concludes this journal entry. As we continue to grow the city of Lihue and discover more tricks to improve this process, so shall these details be documented here. -Hero of Evil AstroAscendingAsses AAA - We got your butt covered edited by HeroofEvil on 11/29/2022

12/5/2022 Topic: Mission Delivery Point - Non-Existent HeroofEvil	There is a work-around to this: If you take the shipments to the "ruins" of where the site once was (as indicated in the mission message) you can search that area to still complete the quest.

Thanks Armatura Logistics for this most epic assistance in helping to build a place of nothing to something.
2/20/2023 Topic: Status of experiment Moon HeroofEvil	Greetings Mariner, My apologies for not reading this post sooner. It is appreciative that another market grows with the target of matching Earth, and as you mentioned, so close to it. Seeing this growth is most assuredly beneficial too all, so, I would like to offer additional assistance with this project: Would establishing service industries on the moon be opposed by the rulers of earth's closest rock? -AAA
