I want to clear up why and how I got to CR-409b so there is no misunderstanding.
I wasn’t funded or encouraged by Mad, or any other player. I make my own fabs on Hort C, and I make most inputs myself also (AL, TI, STL, NR, EPO, PG). I never hold more than 500k as I invest money as it comes in. In addition, I was awarded 1 mil form Catfiz which helped A LOT.
Why 409b? It’s close to Prom and Hort C, it has decent pop, and most importantly, it had Manuf COGC for my SPF (now changed to Electronics).
Why not the other options? Well, there are not many planets with the necessary population and honestly if I had to choose from whom I needed to steal, QWNE seemed the least worse option to me. Again, why?
- Aldin already had +1 new Ship while mhk +2 new Ships.
- My only Eng base got its pop divided to incoming QWNE member
- Mad & CP have always been helpful to me.
Past all this, I agree that the current distribution of Population is broken, and for me as a mid-sized player, this shows that its horrible as well.
