Wow, nice hits there Nish. Nice lotta rez for the war effort.

With a hearty thanks to Gintukas, I've updated and improved the trading tool. Please let me know if you want a copy of the excel spreadsheet and I'll e-mail it to you. Improvements: Fixed a minor formula error /blush Added the ability to calculate a percentage-based mixed resource trade (I.e., If you have 1,000,000 crystal to trade and want 35% metal and 65% deut you can now easily figure how much to expect in return.) Added cargo space estimators for outgoing and incoming small and large cargo ships Made some asthetic changes I hope you find it helpful... Cel

Woot Holy smokes, I musta missed this one Really cool ninja, there luffy /diablo

Hey Hey Hey /yay Happy Birthday DaGirl!! /beers

Can you tell us what galaxy your sats are in?

I've been doing a little bit of trading recently and found I was spending a lot of time calculating how much rez I could trade for how much other rez. So after a couple of these trades, I decided to create an Excel spreadsheet where I could simply input the agreed upon trade ratio and the respective amount(s) and determine very quickly what I could trade for. I also added a quick calculator to determine the number of cargos necessary to transport the traded resources. I offer this spreadsheet to whoever would like to beta-test it. Simply PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send it along to you. Any and all suggestions for improvement are welcome. disclaimer: I offer no warrantees either express or implied. I am not responsible for any trades gone bad. Do not use around children. Caution contents may be hot. These stunts are performed by professionals on a closed track, do not try this at home.

I've got 500 Recyclers in Gal 7 at your disposal, Just let me know when

It's Lord of the RIngs - The Two Towers Ta Da... Great Movie!! One of the best.

Hey Hey Ron Welcome to D.a.r.k. Matters. Sure is good to see you here. This is a great place to hang out, you're gonna like it here... Hey Bartender.... a cold one for our new friend....

Man, I feel terrible...I was always rootin' for the alligator everytime I saw his show, but I never thought he'd ever really get done in by the critters he harrassed... Too bad

Happy Birthday, Rahvin. PARTY TIME!! :Mafia2: :Mafia2: :Mafia2: :Mafia2:

LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA I was gonna do that a million times, but I didn't. Gratz! On a job well done!

how about we give them spelling lessons?

Is the wine for you or as flavoring in the spagetti? I'd prefer two or three glasses...hahahah Does anyone remember the Gallopin' Gourmet? He used to get pretty well sloshed up while cooking all kinds of good things on his TV show... /lmao

I wouldn't limit yourself to not having an attack colony. I've nearly done that waiting for El Makedonero to return from vacation now for 6 weeks. But, I would take the extra one and shoot for a 280-300 field colony located in an area that would be likely to produce a reasonable amount of profitable targets... Just my humble opinion, though. I could presume that a pair of properly located colonies (each with a good number of fields) could work out fine. But do consider not being able to mobilize to an attack colony like you just did to get speed9....could be a tough one to swallow...

gaaaak.... liver.....runs away fast! Now with that said, my wife makes the world's best spagetti sauce you ever tasted. Lots of sausage and ground beef, fresh tomatoes in season, garlic, mushrooms and the right combination of seasonings ( you know til it tastes right, she never measures). So she stuffs the meats and the sausages in the pot and cooks it up...( from the Godfather movie) I'm gettin' hungry for spagetti /yay Oh! Honey !

Quite an accomplishment, I'd say.... Gratz on a job well done.

Wow...well said... "our phasers are still smoking..." Ya gotta love it /diablo

Well we could start with the D.H.A. (David Hasselhoff Alliance, eeeeeeek!!) and then take out The Dark (you know those guys that haven't figured out how to fleetsave yet and sound too much like us) and then F.C.A. ....move onto Jin Roh and then TLA (I'd love to tackle Zual /oooo ) ....hmmmm interesting thought there Schot. @ Esfan, I hope you're saving some of those IPMs for El Makedonero [F.C.A.], when he get's back from his vacation. I think I'm finally ready to nail his butt! /diablo (with your help again)

A gentle update: UNI 9 is now comprised of only 4,006 players and continuing its slow slide into oblivion. We've lost another 871 players (times the number of colonies they had ~ figure around 6 colonies each = 5,226 less opportunities for attacks, trading, whatever). The universe gets tougher all the time. As we each grow, we become more dependant on deut for transporting rez and fleet and that gets tougher to find with less players to trade with (thank goodness for this alliance). And those who are strong keep pushing the weaker into despair. I know I've contributed to way too many players simply giving it up, not that I feel bad, but there's no new blood.) /oooo I did find a player (ferdl) that gave it up a while back and has re-emerged by starting a new account (in noob protection and colonizing the same area in Galaxy 7). I sent him a note welcoming him back and offered to send a gift package. No response...(but, it was me that drove him away int the first place, go figure!) /blush What a dilemma and what to do? Maybe we could recruit others with offers of gifts to get them going and then beat the snot out of them... .... wait .... no, no that might not work out either, lol /rofl Will the return to school and full-time work schedules in the fall bring new blood into the universe? Should we find a group of new folks and mentor them..maybe a little protection and see what happens? As the Universe shrinks we face a new and unwanted threat that those stronger will want to aggressively prey on us (or even declare war) --- if we can increase our numbers through increased alliance relationships we may be able to prevail in the long run. /thumbsup These are just a bunch of ramblings from me... but I like this game and want to play for as long as it stays interesting and fun... How about some other random thoughts about what to do.... please!! /rolleyes

Da Girl! Welcome to D.a.r.k. Matters. It is soooooo good to see you here. You have been missed for sure. /wub Are you going to take your account out of vacation mode and get crackin? If so, please let me know and I'll get you some rez to help, as a welcome back gift.

I have to drop into vacation mode due to travel this week. I'll be staying in a hotel with no internet access... See you all on Friday night of Saturday morning...

Hey schot...two things I noticed while looking at the "skinning tests" options: 1. Remember that white text issue when previewing a post -- well it seems to be resident in this skin 2. The post date doesn't appear, making it a little confusing. But, I really like the background design around the avatars and that the "lines" are not there....

Hey that's pretty good. /bow Yes, definately in the big time! Well done... (runs off to check my own research and tech levels) /blink
