farm naq and build up a decent raw up, like 100k raw in the start.
then get 10 up planets and build them up, if you are active enough farming you can get a good up fast.
with a 100k raw u can have 10x 50k up planets witch in total gives u 600k total up.
so just keep on farming and building 8)

worst piece of advice if you plan any long term growth

although works nicely if you aim for below 300k total up

2 reasons


1. NEVER depend on planets, they can be stripped from even top accounts in a single turn.

2. Many people don't like people who do what you describe. Your not here to play the game, your here to make $$. So more then likely, you could become the target of "$$player haters". And they would strip your planets and farm you heavily.

Lore is "half" right

yes, planets can get lost because for most players it is impossible to build a defense to protect even one of their planets perfectly (I remember on one occasion me and my mates removed ten 50k up planets from a player in one combined strike, yes that's a drop in total up by 500k uu's per day)

however there's still this other half....
uknown to many
understood by some
well used by few

the way i see it its a way for small guys to catch up to the big guys and eventually they can have fun in wars with a decent army size.
its not fun to have a 10-20 mill army size with a 120k up in a war, it takes ages to recover from that. with a decent up it goes fast to recover and who knows maby we get more warmongers in the game.

what do you think about the people that have insane income from planets? in perg i have seen a guy with 17 mill army and 7x 60-70 bill income planets, is he here also just to sell resources?

I'm not saying its not a good stratigy, I'm saying don't build your account "Solely" on planets. Get a raw UP of 250K instead of 4 or 5 UP planets.

And thats exactly my point, thats why purg is being looked at, and he sounds like a good farm to me. 8)
