This is for everyone, including you Maverick.
How are you empires all doing?
I currently have 4 planets doing nothing but making colony ships now, the rest all produce for themselves so i dont bother with freighters either. I have 8 drones exploring the galaxy at the moment too. I know Emperor L still has like double my planets (i have 16), but it doesnt matter. I have 24,000 (give or take) credits and even with all my planets producing, still get over 100 credits a turn  My food is up to 95 for my empire, which isnt a lot, but most of my planets do make enough to survive on their own. My research is also up to 379 now, so most things come in real quick.
Let me know how you guys are doing, im off to go order 8 more colony ships and tend to my 4 new colonies

I have 67 planets, all large and rich/ultra rich. I have 171787 credits and make 1382 each turn 
I make 521 food per turn and 867 science points...
Oh, and right now most of my finished planets all have orbital farms making 100% of their food, but the newer planets still rely on freighters, I use 40 of those per turn but have 50 in total.

I have 4 colonies (YES only 4 ) All available buildings are built. I'm doing 501 research points and now in process of researching terraforming. I'm exploring a bit, found K in my backyard

Yeah, back when I had about 10 planets I left all the goode ones with only building col ships ovenight, when I looked in the morning I had so many, and just looked for every decent planet I could find. I still have lots of spare col ships, but so far need to explore more, most of the upper left is mine already

I couldnt log into DQ:E forums just then, every time I did it just had the login option again, then my browser crashed 
Anyway, I now have 1000 science points each turn, and should have bioforming in a turn or 2...

Heh...it is getting a bit unmanagable now...but still, once I start terraforming them all to alpha gaea, its going to be crazy I have no idea what will happen then, only around half my planets have more than 4 population right now, so if they all end up around 20 or so, it will be unstoppable I think I could build and support my 12 fleets at least

Unless terraforming has been tweaked like crazy, then itll cost you 25 turns if your planets have 400 industry.

Yeah, some will take up to 40 turns, thats a few hours. By tonight they should mostly be up 1 level, and tomorrow another...so in a day or 2 I could have several alpha gaea I think...
EDIT they range between 22 and 80 turns or so, but my good planets should be done soon...

I dont understand how you got THAT far ahead of me.
I mean you have triple my planets and triple my technologies, but ive been building the whole time
I dont get it...what technologies did you research so far?

I have mostly buildings and other helpful things like terraforming, and colonisation...nothing much else, no ships, weapons or defences. Its not really realistic, but just pushing colonisation to its limits
Anyway, I have -580 income now, because all production mostly is diverted to terraforming, should be able to last a while on the money I have though...few 100 turns or so...

That makes me feel a little better, I have lots of things, all the energy techs, half the engines, all research, most of the food and industry and maintenance, and a few offense and defense things.
I should start finishing off the food/industry/maintenance though.

Yeah, I havent done any of those, mostly because I knew battles wouldnt be needed this round. Also I just wanted to see whats possible and whats not in how fast you can grow...and apparently you can grow quite fast if you concentrate on that alone.
I need to experiment with war things next round, when battles are implemented. I know thats going to slow me down some, and if I dont build those my planets will be easy targets...but even then, if I can grow fast from the start and quickly get some basic defences, it should be enough. Even if I loose a few planets, I will have plenty more to fall back on...thats the plan anyway

Ok so i have roughly 50 planets, give or take.
My science, food, and income all match K's when he had 67 planets, so i feel a little better about myself now
I dont doubt that K has over 100 planets and 4 times the stuff he had at 67 planets, but i think im doing more with less, at least for now.
Those stats are also thanks to 10-15 planets, which support the other 35-40 ish while they grow.
I think ive taken enough planets for now though, time to bring all the others up to snuff.
