I dont really see a problem with it, just means you have to plan your game differently, and if you think this sucks, then look at what your own commander is doing, changing race quite a bit to get the benefits of all the races...I still think there should be a bigger dis-incentive here, like your account is frozen for 2days? I mean how often do you see a replicator morph into an asgard then to a Goa'uld then back to asgard, then whos knows?

I understand that changing race might bother you and maybe All I wanted was to vent because I cannot hold with ppl like you who get more than 14 Million in attack strike in less than 2 days but are rank in the 100 while I am in the top 10.
And if I want to fight back, the rank modifier(which is the purpos of this thread) is killing all the profit I can do by fighting back .
So I think my point now is being in the top 10 just sucks.
You never been in the top 10 so maybe you don't know what I am talking about but I am sure you have a good idea.

hehe, no its aimed at me. For those who dont know...I recently switched from unit production, to churning out attack waepons, and I am having lots of fun stealing from the nice fat asgard wallets. I can understand why you are a little annoyed...and to be honest I have no idea what its like up there, I have only been on page 2 once right near the beginning, and im not even sure how much rank modifier affects me, but I thought I would use it as much as possible. I have to admit that changing races is very clever tactically play, and im a little jelous I didnt think of it myself
And if I want any sort of mention on the quantum lengends,I have to get my arse into gear sometime and pull myselft up those rankings, but for now I happy where I am, I love stealing naq

One of the biggest advantages is using Rep race to build up your spy levels. Use Gou'ald advantages to build up your income/unit output.

yeah it's a new tactic, the changing races one. of course you lose alot of naq in buying and selling, but for certain aims it's worth it. People have to think out of the box. For instance while Tauri have fabulous strike rates, the more ur up, the bigger a farm u become cos ur defence is so vulnerable. I can't wait for all those Tauri to boost their up to ur level IceR, 500 odd eh?lol
More units, more naq, better farms. I sure do enjoy the Tauri. Why do u think I don't bother attacking u IceR?lol. I want u to have a huge number of units. But I'll give u ur props, you are a good player mate! That 35 mill attack ain't bad eh! lol

Heh I am just sorry I cant provide for of a thorn in your side, I just cant get my head round how you get all the unit production and still your on covert level 15, or is it 16 by now? I have a sneaking suspicion it is the latter. Yeah the real flaw with my plan is any asgard who can see me can take my naq...and two of your alliance members proved over the last couple of hours by stealing some naq, one with less than 250k strike action lol. Its lucky I can bank pretty often, but it means Im always losing 5%
Maybe next reset I can give you a better game?

it's easy. I spent my first couple of weeks increasing up at a huge rate, everything went to it. I think one advantage I've had is that in all this time, I've only lost less than 2 million naq, and that I got back straightaway lol. I've farmed poor Keisser too much in the beginning. I estimate having made easily over 70 million naq off the poor guy. I did get 1200 units from somone but by then I was already on 499 UP, so it only boosted my up by less than 3 days. Yours is impressive too. But I would never choose to play Tauri..u get farmed too much. It's great being able to hit the top 10, and then bloody lose it to someone ranked 200 places behind u lol. Ur not an ally but ur not hated mate.

Yeah I think that was my basic mistake...I started up on unit production a little slow, and it wasnt helped by the fact I start a few days late. Although when I started in this server I was a complete newbie, so im not too disappointed. I know I have managed to annoy someone, keep getting a load of random sabs...still not sure who it is. But there is still all to play for, anything can happen over 2 months
