A question

[Apadizamek]

My question to you all is, will you have an income? To me it seems foolish. Your just adding to farming and when you get 10 turns per turn you can afford to let the inac's and the few others to have incomes and farm them for income. i'm gonna try and NOT have one or a very small one if need be, how about you?

[Come_Forth]

I have most of my units trained as spies because I was getting farmed too much. I am a Goauld, but I have almost no income, I should have stayed replicator.

[Taxxy]

income it to important to let it go to waste, Build a big defence or log in often if your getting your naq stolen.

thats my point with such a large turn generation amount per turn is income that important?

in a day without income lets say you logged in...right after you got up, 8 hours of sleep, 16 turn cycles, 160 turns. With 0 income your not farmed in the night and you'll probably have no costs to repair and take up some of your turns from your defense getting hit, why? No income.

[Mercury Rising]

i wouldn't be worried about repair costs at this stage mate. Income is to important to go to waste, but it goes to waste if you cant defend it. Like you said, you get 10 turns per turn, therefore you should be able to build a decent defense and so be able to hold your income. Why not have loads of turns to farm, and an income to spend also. So some people may have an advantage over you, if you are not keeping an income. Income + farming helps more towards your UP, then just farming.....

At the moment if your defence is below 1,5 mil its like not having it. You will be attacked when you go to sleep. Tommorrow I assume 2 mil def will be that limit.

[torak]

Currently only the top 5ish have a defence over 1.5mil. I myself let my income go to waste for the first few days while logging in as often as possible to get another def wep and then famed over 1k turns most of that into defence.

Oh to get over 1.5mil defence if not asgard you need a minimum of about 25mil naq in defence weps. I myself dont see much point in that when it could go into UP and get to 500 raw.

I might sell mine later, dont know yet

[n00blet]

meh .. I estimate till the end of the day top strike will be above 2mil. All those goulds with nice incomes---> build defences ,Tok'ra is coming.

Income in the early stages of the wave , i dunno liek the 1st week is over rated, unless you USS **Filtered** 5 times on the 1st day liek i did oh so long ago , now impossible to do, and build up a gigantic army size = gigantic income,
Otherwise you'll find that your paying more on the defense than you are getting from income.

Expecially in this 10 turn a turn situation. You will get alot more from farming than income, better at this point to try and spend your naq each turn as much as possible than building a bigger defense, train alot of spies so noobs cant even see you let alone hit you and use that plus a high strike to start hitting at the people who USS **Filtered**.

Altho it doesn't really matter what strategy you use, the more your online the more you'll advance, the luckier your naq finds the more you'll advance, the luckier your naq losses the more you'll advance, basically, Luck is the key factor

Well, your turns are worth more than you are, people.
You can hit an inactive for 700k+ with 15 turns, so each round youre getting 450k or so in the worth of your turns. My income is only about 400k, and i have a bigger army size than any of you. And there are people who can crack a defense of 6mil now, so i dunno how valuable a def is. But never underestimate the stupidity of people...I woke up this morning with 7mil sitting out.

[S1eepy]

high covert does the job, lots of people focusing on high strike to bypass defences, but most had only mediocre covert (yes there will always be a few with good everything) but on the whole, top covert will keep you safe for a week or 2 longer, before the wave settles down a bit

That is true but a lot of people attack just because they see ?????? like it is a damn lottery and think they will get lucky.

LOL don't get used to doing that, I"m not planing on having a defence you can mass back this wave!

Covert is the key, there's only 2 people I can't see naq, and one is zaphor.


EDIT: I see whole pages 1-3's naq (and army ofc!!!), NO exception


Best def I saw is close to 8mil...maybe few have more???
