Here's an interesting tidbit:
You can post multiple rewards on an evil player at the police station for up to 1 billion credits each post (the max credits you can carry). Not sure what the total limit is - it's over 15 billion. The bad news is when you claim a total reward over 1 billion, you end up with only 1 billion.

Kind of a false promise by the Feds.. 1B credits doesn't take that long to come up with as a red in an unlim. The limit was probably one the original authors never thought would be reached by a single player (and wouldn't be in anything but an unlim).

I'm not sure why any one would post that much if they had a red they could kill to reclaim the creds.

Actually, there was only one red in the game and I had already SD'd him. I wasn't really planning on reclaimming the credits but was just posting on him to keep my alignment up after attacking other blues. But then when he logged back into the game, I felt obligated to SD him again and try to regain my credits.

Actully this was an 8000 turn game, but I was making over 2 billion a day ptrading product off captured planets.

Don't forget you lose your investment altogether if the player goes blue.
