Question 1

What’s the ROI on the following Energy sources (Energy/Sec/Mass)

1. T3 Pgen
2. Hydro
3. ACU RAS
4. T2
5. T1

Answer 1

1. T3 Pgen = ~77%
2. Hydro = ~63%
3. ACU RAS = ~54%
4. T2 = ~42%
5. T1 = ~27%

Question 2

What’s the Payback Period on the following Mass sources

1. T1 Mex
2. T2 Mex
3. T3 Mex
4. ACU RAS
5. sACU RAS
6. Mass Storage (around Mexs)
7. T2 Fab (around storage)

Answer 2

1. T1 Mex = ~ 20 seconds
2. T2 Mex = ~ 4 mins
3. T3 Mex = ~ 4.5 mins
4. ACU RAS = ~ 2 mins
5. sACU RAS = ~ 8 mins
6. Mass Storage (around Mexs) = ~ 4.5 min
7. T2 Fab = ~ 5.5 mins

Question 3

In order, what are the 8 most economical methods of gaining mass (Cybran only)

Answer 3

1. Mass reclaim
2. T1 Mex
3. ACU RAS
4. T2 Mex
5. Cap a T2 Mex
6. T3 Mex
7. T2 Fabricator
8. sACU RAS

Question 4

(Assuming ACU is T2) How much mass and energy is consumed per second upgrading the ACU to RAS and how long does it take (unassisted)

Answer 4

75 mass/second

~2,600 energy/second

1 min

Question 5

What’s the main reason you should never let your energy crash

Answer 5

If you crash energy, your mexs will produce less mass per second

Question 6

In order, what are the 6 most economical methods of gaining energy (Cybran only)

Answer 6

1. Reclaim (e.g. trees)
2. ACU RAS
3. T3 Power
4. Hydro
5. T2 Power
6. T1 Power

Question 7

What’s the danger of putting T2 Fabricators around your Mexs/Storage

Answer 7

1 Dies, all Fabricators & Storage dies

(T3 Mex will survive, but T2 mex will die)

Question 8

When should you get ACU RAS…

& what should you do immediately after the upgrade

Answer 8

As soon as you have T2 ACU & enough income

(~2,700 energy/second, 50+ mass/second)
