Turn Miners into Lifers

I'm sure that this has been suggested before...but I did a search and it came up with usless results like giving them away and such...

So I would like to request that there be a button to make all your miners into lifers (and it can cost as much as it would to untrain and retrain them).

Why you ask?

Because it is annoying having to do the above.

Lifers DON'T make more than miners but I feel they should.
Check out my post from a month or so ago:

:shock:



I like the idea of having a way to train all miners as lifers.
In my case because x number of lifers are part of my alliance's requirements for both entrance and continued membership...

but i don't think it will happen because too many people would use their MTs by selling them, and not for making planets or other trading that Jason might like.

cant you already do this by untraining your miners then selling them on the ingame market for lifers?

I think what was meant was to untrain miners, sell them on the black market for naq. Then use that naq to buy lifers from the market. The problem with this is that you have a limited number of MT's and thus (at current market rates ) can 'only' get about 165- 170 k lifers from miners in a week (that is using all 3 MT's at 5X power). That may seem like a lot but what about when you have a lot of miners to convert? I know i would sacrifice the naq gained through market by being able to train miners into lifers.

If anything id rather convert lifers back to miners.

Perhaps there could be 2 updates in 1. The "lifers make more naq" one, and converting lifers back to miners (all in 1 go) for like 3 MT's or something. that way people can choose wether they want more income, or more usable units.

But converting miners to lifers on purpose is just stupid :? Whats the point of it? saves you retraining your miners after ascending? If you alliance requires you to limit your account to stay with them I wouldnt bother with the alliance :P

Honestly, what harm will it do to you personally if someone else wants to train X number of miners into Lifers? None, so don't complain. If someone wants to do it for some reason, let them. If you don't want to do that, don't use it. It's truly that simple. :)

I don't think the button should convert ALL miners to Lifers though. I think it would be better to choose how many you'd want to train, as you might only want to train say 1 mil of your miners into Lifers, rather then say, 5 mill that you might have all together.

Thanks. Indeed, if this was implemented it wouldn't affect people who didn't want to do it in the slightest.

Or like the buttons to train Units? Lol.

Have one under Miners. So on the train screen, you can train Miners, Lifers, Attack drones etc etc etc...
