I'm a newbie playing on a MBBS board with TW for MBBS ver 2.03a
I've seen it done, but I don't understand how to do it.
Somehow by moving shields between planets you can increase max
sector figs?
Exactly how is this done and how many figs can fit in one sector?

Thanks in advance

With version 3.11.55 MBBS the max figs I've been able to put in one sector is 2,000,000,000. I dont know about the version you are playing in tho.

Can you explain the process step by step please?
Is there a script to move shields anywhere? I heard it's time consuming.

Thanks

If it is not TWGS, but one of the "original" TW games: If there was a planet in the sector the max sector figs that could be deployed was 50K. To deploy more than 50K, you had to wait until all the planets in the sector were L4, pwarp them out, then deploy >50k figs. Dunno what the upper limit was. Alternatively you could nuke the planets.

A script to move planet shields between planets is a very simple one, basically a repeating macro. The following example would shift 2000 ship shields from planet #2 to planet #3 once :

L2^MCGF200^MQQL3^MCGT200^MQQ

To tell you how to write it as a script, for multiple land/get shields/land/give shields, I would have to know what terminal program you use. The following will move 100k ship shields from planet 2 to planet 3 in 50 seconds, Telix SALT:

main()
{
int cycles=50;
while (cycles>0)
{
cPutS("L2^MCGF200^MQQL3^MCGT200^MQQ");
cycles=cycles-1;
}
}

Runs much faster in pre twgs versions of tw.
