octagon999 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Since Santa came early with SRPs, I was thinking of something different for this Christmas... How about revealing some aspect of the game that it doesn't appear players have caught on to yet. Something that we will all slap our foreheads and be surprised. Or something that makes us go, "WOW". That to me would be a great Christmas present two years plus into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Like what to do with over two million tons of coal? Heck, if we could just convert it to 200 tons of gemstones (diamonds) we'd consider it well worth the price to be rid of the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could get Pete to convert it to raw resources. :lol: Besides as a peace-loving race, what do you need that many gemstones for? I havent seen jewelry in the game yet. (And don't tell me they're luxury goods.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakarissa Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 I'd prefer SRPs myself..... Sakarissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughestrog Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 But there are so many things to do with coal, besides, you'd have the problem of deciding what to spend the SRPs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Valwyn Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 At least Coal has a use, what's the deal with Mineral Fertilizers? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitsune Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Don't forget Plantfoods! :lol: Not even the Plant races seem to require Plantfood ... Heck, I'd like the Mk III Rulebook - Twice the Content, Half the Obfuscation! -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mu-Rho-Mu Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 How about a couple free WP surveys. I'd take the SRPs too but eventually I'm going to run out of things to buy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurassier Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 and what about Fibers??? I'm one of those that maxed out my mines on the HW from day one and then didn't think much about my HW mines after that. Now keep in mind Fibers were (and still is) the highest yield on my HW. Sooooo, I finally examined my turn more closely and finally shut down those fiber mills a few months ago. Anybody know what to do with several million tons of Fibers? (besides build a few colonial settlers, you know, the ones nobody wants to build, or at least admit to building.....) ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Fibers are used to make textiles and textiles are used to make some of those kewl NBC ground units. something to think about for those really crazed races out there willing to employ every weapon known to the galaxy including the dreaded bio chemical and nuclear on the battlefield.

Lots and lots of door mats. And, uh, rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurassier Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Isn't hemp a fiber? Must be why the HBOB is so popular! Those door mats, yea, that's the ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
