Reassign MineSlave 156,250 Naquadah

ok seriously but this is getting rediculous... by the end of the wave you will need a couple trill to untrain 1m miners :shock:

already costs 156b to untrain 1m miners ](*,)

= strategy = me like

Everyone is going to need to pull out a calculator and work out when it stops being worth it to train miners :)

LOL PLEASE SOMEONE tell me i'm wrong

A miner makes 1000 naq per ticks.
The wave plays for about 4320 ticks
Currently we have 2632 ticks left before the end.
Now current costs Reassign Mining Bot 327,680 Naquadah ( time to earn 327.6 ticks)

1-2632/4320=0.39 of the wave played.

Predicted cost at the end of the wave 840,205 Naquadah (time to earn 840 ticks) (17.5 days) before the end of wave is the time to stop putting new miners into your work force.

Can we say... MABYE there should be a CAP of say.... 250,000 ( estimated end miner size of 10 Million) Cost 2.5trillion to untrain alone. At predicted 8.4 trillion. Wow i don't think peoples banks aren't that big to Hold that much. Now i can, and mabye Knight and 2-3 others Tops, can hold that much.

Suggests that an upper limit be placed on that untraining of miners.

I'm afraid that your Math looks correct :(

Admin, Please heed HE's post (and the other posts) re limiting the max cost on untraining miners, otherwise its just crap... while you're at it please look at the other suggestions to limit/stop feeding... (i won't hold my breath on this being done :( ..)

slightly off actually. The reasoning is sound but the firgures slightly wrong. Miners make 1000 per tick, but uu make 400 per tick. So the profit on having miners is actually only 600 per tick meaning the time to pay off the cost of untraining miners is actually longer ;)

paresetic's get a bonus so it will be quicker for them
