Has anybody figured out a solution to this issue. It's pissing me off. I even tried typing all the numbers in.

Got my first bump in rank to Crewman First Class.

I've got 2 planets now myself. Neither one are sufficiently defended I don't think. Got me a good patch of snow flakes in my primary though.

I finally got sol bumped today for the first time. Took me like 10 mins to figure out what happened. LOL.

How do the bases work and what do they do for you??? I built one, and it just says I have a base, but I don't see what benefit there is in having one. Maybe I'm just dense, but somebody help me out there.

Oh, and thanks DF, for the help on setting the percentages. Thought I tried that before and it wouldn't work, but it works now. /shrug

Hey Manti, we could all try and take out that Benjamin guy for you. Just say the word. :twisted:

So Realspace drive tops at like 9 or 10 lvl?

Post subject:
Yeah for most areas but even at level 10 I still have places that take 3 turns.... which means its time for an upgrade.... btw the reason I am asking for inventory is just to see how large our little Alliance is...

Sooo..... Black Nova Traders is a web-based space trading game, built by the creators of TradeWars. It's one that you can download yourself, and install on a PHP server, and thus modify and improve upon. Fun stuff!

Got my planet up and running now.... making some coin... developing a stable world.... still pretty small... but growing everyday !!!! Don't blow it up !!!!!!! Think I have about 360K colonists and 105K fighters, 33k torpedos... Ship is coming along nicely as well... can make quite a stack cash running my trade route thanks to my big hull and strong engines, hehe...

What the hell are you guys talking about, using both realspace or warp uses 4 turns per "Trading" run.... Am I missing something here?

I wish there was a better description of the rules somewhere. Whats the advantage of a corporate planet over a private planet? Just that your alliance can see?

Author:	Dragon Fire [ Thu Oct 27, 2005 3:52 pm ]
Post subject:
corporate meaning selling? someone can come in buy all the energy and then attack? AkA no weapons or shields will work from the planet... You'd think you would get some trade tax or something but im not sure...maybe if u trade between 2 of ur own planets its easier for u? Anycase im still fairly new at this so not really sure

Selling defines if you are selling resources.... Corporate means that anyone in the alliance can come and land there...

Captain Talon of the Century Pigeon here... not bad for a first day of trading. Lvl 7 hull and 300k in cash. (I used the trade route option rather than manually, and didn't realize it was sapping my turns until it was too late).

Manti only if ur Engine is above lvl 8 or so...otherwise it can take like 80turns to realspace between adjacent sectors usually around lvl 10 or 11/12 you should be able to move anywhere in 1 turn via realspace

ah.. that makes sense.

OK, I'm confused. I upgraded my hull to level 9 and my capacity for energy went up to like 2,000, but my cargo space for anything else is still at 100. What do I need to do to get more cargo space?

Got my first bump in rank to Crewman First Class. yea figured it out you have to change em all at once...meaning there can not be any numbers with a .00 after it in the fields just replace everything when u do it so if you have: 0.00 10.00 0.00 20.00 15.00 0.00 and want that 10 to 15% you'd have to reenter em all as 0 15 0 20 15 0 and click the update and it should accept it
