We all know they are pretty much useless

but who else other than me enjoys pumping DMU into them, purely to have as big a command star power as possible? :-D

so are you one of the accounts out there denying me the chance of having all 5 physical stats under rank 10?

I can get strike, def, covert and Assassin under 10 pretty easily at the same time but the CS is refusing to budge.

[spoiler]Command Star Power 166,950,000,000,000 Ranked 19 :([/spoiler]

It's the one thing I have serious trouble with because keeping my CER above 40m is starting to become a real struggle at 3.88% lol. More and more dmu seems to get poured there each day. Doesn't leave much for the rusty CS lying in the shed.

You gotta fight the battles you can win. No 'CER' player can compete with a dedicated CS builder, 'cept for maybe a certain pirate who sails the 8,500 seas.

I haven't been very devoted to my CS since I went on my billion CER campaign last year. It is better then most, but I haven't equipped it in a good long while to see where it ranks.

I ran the numbers on my calculator and it would be in the top 19 or so according to some sources. :-"

Anyone want to do a CS race? I don't know what the ranks are anymore so I don't feel qualified to set the finish line. If I have any takers I will be open to input.

There are a few options,

1. Person who can add the most slots in a set period of time.
2. Person that increases CS by the highest percentage in a set period of time.
3. Set a goal of x slots on CS and the first person to get it wins.

Between just you and me any of these options sound fair. If others want to get involved then 2 or 3 could be unbalanced. We would have to compare notes.

those sound pretty much like what i was thinking myself

my preference would be option 2

if u wanna chat on msn and thrash out the details, timescale and see if anyone else wants to join in...perhaps organize a prize in main?

I'll be up for this. Even if starting at 1.6m slots will put me at a disadvantage to someone starting at say 500k. I need a challenge lol. 1bill CER ended up being a bit anticlimatic as there's now 1.5b to chase after.

696 quadrillion dmu will buy you the 1bill CER. So you only have to farm 2Q a day for a year and you have it.

You almost become desensitized to the cost as it rises. Sure it gets harsh but there's a certain satisfaction of saying FU to the costs once you reach the summit.

It won't be long before 1.5bill is smashed through. But I won't be getting anywhere near it for the better part of another year.

As for the %, mine is 3.86 but you should direct that question to rflash. I can't fathom how repressive it is at his size. It would be close to negative if that's possible lol.
