hm. my align is so low (-300k region) that I'm worried that I'm showing off my wealth too much (i.e. 300k align x 1000 factor = 300mil credits). Any ideas/strats?


Heh. How's that D/RTR working out now?

There are few quick ways for reds to gain positive alignment. Assuming you don't want to get #SD# and loose 1/2 your experience in addition to 1/2 your alignment, or getting murdered at SD and losing ALL your exp and align, the easiest is to find a big stack of someone else's RED figs and blow them out of the water. Or start hunting evil aliens/players and killing them. Or, just stop worrying about it. You probably won't fool anyone who's bothering to track your alignment anyway. If they know you have an L4 planet, and they know the number of turns you have a day, then they will be expecting you to make a certain amount per day regardless of what your alignment is.

I have to agree with Traitor. I look at the age of the game, the game specs ( V ), the player list, and the ship catalog. With that information I can guess pretty close to how much any 1 person can be making in the game at any one time. The alignment just tells me if your a good guy or a bad guy, everything else tells me the rest of the story.
