Where should we spend the profits?
Sorry to clutter the place up with yet another thread, but I think this needs some discussion (not that I have any authority in the area):

We're in FM now. That, combined with our large number of bases and huge population, means we rake in quite a bit of energy income each turn. 356ecs a turn as of last save, to be precise.

Over 7 turns that equals 2492ecs in *profit*, which could be spent (over the 7 turns) without touching our stockpile of 3582ecs. That's a conservative estimate, given that our income will only increase (minus some maintenence increases from new facilitiies) over time.

I've asked for 506 or so ecs in rushes and upgrades for Akiria. TKG has asked for ... *checks Aurillion orders, tries to crunch numbers*, uh, a lot of ecs for his region. GT has plans (to be polled, no?) to rush-build the Ascetic Virtues SP in New Apolyton when we get PE, which should come to 600-700ecs (right?)...

The point is that we need help spending all this cash

Any ideas?

Increase Psych allocation untill we're running at a loss. That will make everyone happy, and get rid of all that "unwanted" money. How about 60% Psych and 40% Labs.

The virus thingie doesn't seem to have much support among the population...Clean Reactors would be a good investment then.

I'd say we just have to rush more. But unfortunately GT tends to forget rushes asked further than the first turn.

I've noticed that. Perhaps we need to use more effective "reminders"

It would also be good to check at the end of each turn if there are buildings which are only 2 turns away from completion, and rush those up to 1 turn away from completion. That would prevent a lot of mineral wastes in our mineral rich bases where only 10 minerals can be carried over to the next project.
