Training Lifers

I know that 10 percent of your miners are turned into lifers. I wish that you could just train your UU into lifers. It would become a useful tool before you ascend instead of having to go through the market. There would still be a use for miners. I'd like to be able to keep some of my miners available to untrain and use wherever they are needed. There are times that I would also like to just commit my UU to lifers.

I ran into the same problem, and noticed something in the process, sent an email to game admin but haven't heard anything

Not a bad idea. Good for people with a lot of naq to spend on UU(black market) and UP, and moves more into lifers.

You can.

Just untrain all your miners and retrain them. About 10 times and you will have 70 or 80% turned to lifers.

You can also train your UU one-at-a-time. Each will be converted to a lifer. Might take a bit though if you're trying to do a million UU. ;)

See that's the reason why I was suggesting for an option to just train lifers. I've gone that route before and there should be an easier way to do it.

That's gonna cost you a lot of naq. If they want you to spend that much naq and make it that costly, they can just save us the 20 steps and let us train directly to lifers. I usually manage my account while I'm at work so the less time I spend with my browser open on this game, the less chance I get caught. :wink:

That's a possible option, too... since you can't untrain super soldiers, it could be just like that and make it an upgrade to miners... but if they're gonna jack up the cost for training lifers, then there should be a difference in the naq they produce... just like there's a difference in the strength of a super soldier.

i think you should be able to, but they should be really expensive. around 15-20x the cost. if you have enough time to train them 1 by 1, good for you!

That is true, but even the game rules says:

Ascending
Although it is explained in greater detail at the time, it is common knowledge that ascending uses almost all of your realms resources to accomplish. Your weapons, technology, UP and covert levels, all units (except lifers), mothership, naquadah etc are all used up on ascending (and converted into ascension points (AP) for your ascended realm). You are left with your lifers, a 'free' supporter status, and a new evolved race based on your previous race. It is a new beginning.

Surely, it's ok for someone trying to keep or get more of what they are told, from an official source, they will keep?

DarkSchneider is talking about another way to earn more lifers.

yes, if that would be it, i'm on

and i think you can train 3-uu-at-a-time to get them into lifers, at least a friend told me that
