The Purpose of Untrained Mercs

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Weapons get damaged though. Attack weapons doesn't get damaged, provided you don't attack. I do agree that UM is a very desperate way to keep naq, you lose 33% of naq that way. On weapons, you lose 15-20%.

Read the ascension thread (http://herebegames.com/StarGateWars/vie ... hp?t=29148) and think why UM may be useful. What you keep, what you lose? Think.

Nothing goes to waste when you ascend, everything you own gets converted into points, and then they are lost into the ether. What do you lose? Re-read that thread again, grasshopper. *strokes beard* Point 4: "What happens after Ascension", in particular. If you still haven't figured it out, well, can't help you there.

Dang, forgot Guest posts are allowed in this forum. I want to make a correction that you keep your lifers, but that's written in that thread anyway.

then you should make some calculations
and if you did them already then try redoing them, because i can assure you, they are worth it.
