For those rare peeps that like to play only blue
What do you recommend as the best Edit for a BLUE game, and any suggestions to make it tougher for REDS?
Thanks, Data

Well, "IF" you like aliens, Star Trek has a ton of ways for blues to cash as good as the reds. I personally don't like aliens tho.

Take any non-MBBS game and max the rob and steal percentages. You can also up the costs for g-torps and adets. This will pretty much kill it for reds.

Also lower the citadel times and increase planet production too. If you really want to get serious about it then crank up port regen to 200% as well.

Its probably shameless self promotion, but my Blue Heaven edit always did well, especially with those that liked planet farming w/o crazy planets.

Have to agree that is one of the best blue edits.

The funny thing is, I'm messing around in a Star Trek edit game right now, and I've been in the game 2 days. When I started the game was 45 days old and there was 12 million total figs in the game. I have capped an L6 planet (Ferrengal) and an L4 planet (A planet from Romulan Space that was maxed on product). I then planet traded after I laid down a 30% grid, and I now have 6 million figs and made 680 million in cash. Not bad for a blue in 2 days.

Yes, pre-aging aliens can put product on the planets and shift things towards blue sometimes. Provided their defenses haven't been beefed up to the point where you need billions to invade.

Naw, it was a no level planet and the type that went L4 in 1 day. I just put 50k cols on it right before midnight, upgraded it to an L3, and then waited till midnight for it to turn L4 and pwarped it out.

Oh, so you were alien farming then... LOL. Ok.
Yes, that's one way to avoid having to cash. Altho in an unlim you can make a few B per day as a red.

Well, yes, sort of. Except that it wasn't in a direct way since I didn't create the planets. lol Guess I taking advantage of an abandoned alien planet farm.
