Nids are not killed as easily as trained men....... So you will have to wait awhile.... Or you can changed your race and you will lose them but you have to untrain you spies and any other people trained such as defenders and attackers......

What is your problem? Nid units (SS units) are a good thing.
If you have to many, pick up some cheap weapons to temporarily arm them.
Over time you can replace the cheap guns with the big ones.

defense units are a waste , im not wasting money arming them , i thought only know we've realised that no defense means no lost when attacked dont need to protect money i dont earn enough to be a big target while ofline so all my naq is going into offence

To each his own I guess. I know my Def is useless against most of my farmers, but i got tired of n00bs with 2-4millattack farming me overnight,
and my enimies striking out with 60-90mil and getting through.

It is pretty fun farming guys with 80Mill in attack and 0 In defense...
Picture a single Human form and a cell attack unit picking up 20mill
(I'm not that extreme...But my repair bill on most attacks is only around 4K)

yeah but i havent got anything wont taking or trying to save so no way im pouring money into defnse weapons , all that means ill have to repair them if they are damaged , no defnse + very little naq means attacks on me do little or no damage to me hahahaha thats how i see it. if its not there its cant be taken/destroyed

If you have little, or no defense, then you are wide open to get sabbed. You will lose your offensive weps like they are on fire. I did what you want to do and while I lost no Naq in the attack that hit me, I did lose 30 SS weps.

General Martin, try to understand something.... At this point in your SGW gaming career, I doubt verey much that you ever accumulate more than 15Million while your away from the comp, ( I could be wrong, recon dudes sometimes lie.)....And other than n00bs who will be scared of your high number of units, ppl arn't going to go after 15mil....So you probably don't need more than 2-4mill in def, just to keep the n00bs out.

I once thought that 150K was a pricless treasure that even ETL might try and steal :roll:.... You don't need defense, but the average person is going to be away from the comp at least 16 Turns while they sleep... almost half you daily income, sitting out in the open :?

When acounts with 650K in attack can take 20mil with just a few turns...
Covert, and Defense are important IMHO; Attack can come later when you want to increase your rank.
