Starting Resources Question |
OK. I have 100,000 in starting resources. Now, what do I do with it? How would I best make use of it? I have found that I can only spend a tiny amount on turn 1 then the rest goes away due to a lack of storage. Not sure at this point what good it does me. At least I can spend all the bonus tech points on turn 1. 
Re: Starting Resources Question
Consider it a cache which may become very useful if your production rate exceeds your resource gathering rate after a couple of turns. This is mainly a factor of how quickly you can expand and pump up production by creating space stations et cetera. It's also a stockpile which will help greatly when you start mass upgrading buildings and retrofitting. Granted, on turn 1 there's not much practical use though
Re: Starting Resources Question
Actually the stockpiled resources is only used for retrofitting (changes/upgrading already existing Ships and Bases).
Facility upgrades are part of the construction system.
Re: Starting Resources Question
Sounds like the starting resources are no good for a single planet on turn 1 but it may be better suited for those who start with something like 10 worlds or an advanced start with a pre-made empire.
Re: Starting Resources Question
A wise man once said .. the starting resources should be renamed starting research
I can't remember who it was .. but I guess Fyron or Kwok .. ( they are my personal Space Empires Heros anyways .. so anything good must come from them
)
