    That's not the point, the point is you shouldn't have been ABLE to.

    Go ahead and show the records for 1108, each remaining planet has a bit under 200 billion fighters.

    Well, as I said, I got between 17 and 20 billion fighters for each of the planets in that sector before attacking them. I didn't save the battle results, but it did take me 2-3 attacks to capture each planet. I don't know why it didn't register the 200 billion fighters, because that would have no doubt destroyed me, and I would have never dreamed of attacking that many fighters with the tech level I have.

    motherless rounding errors.

    Well, that's game. You've got 60% of my cash reserves, and I'll never catch up to that.

    Restart the universe, I'm out.

    I don't even care anymore.

    How could I have negative 415 credits? See? My log doesn't even register you attacking/hitting the minefield.

    Does it register as having -415 credits for you? I know that when I emptied out one of your planets, it showed -200 something afterwards.

    Its getting weird, sometimes it does, sometimes it just shows zero.

    I think all our really high numbers are shorting out the system.

    One of the things you really never expect is a minefield with a TRILLION mines.

    Ouch. I'm ok, though. 40 quadrillion credits set me right as rain.

    Well, it was only 999,999,999,999 mines, because I was afraid 1 trillion mines might give us more number errors.

    But yes, that was nice to see in my logs. ;)

    Must've taken you a while. I've got ridiculous tech, and I still only drop 12 billion mines at a time.

    Only took 10 minutes or so. I can hold 12 billion mines as well, however I could only purchase/deploy 9,999,999,999 mines at a time. I guess those fields are limited to ten digits. :(

    Do you mean deflectors? I can drop all of my mines at one go.

    Are you sure you can drop all of your mines at once? I can carry 12,594,992,597 torpedoes/mines, but the last digit gets dropped off on the deploy mines page, so only 1,259,499,259 mines are dropped.

    Also, the IGB bank only allows us to deposit up to 99 quintillion credits at a time. :(

    You had 99 Quintillion to deposit? Are you sure you didn't mean Quadrillion? I've been keeping an eye on your worlds, and you have less cash than I do, which is 10 Quint.

    And yes, I can deploy all my mines at once.

    No, I don't have 99 quintillion to deposit. But I noticed that the max number of digits for the IGB deposit filed is 20, so the highest number one can deposit is 99 quintillion, or more acurately 99,999,999,999,999,999,999

    Well, Bailey is no longer a factor in this game. 11 attacks was all I needed to punch through his defenses, and spending 3 quintillion credits to get nine seemed like a good deal.

    I actually benefitted from a very curious form of the energy bug. I used it every time, but when I'd show up in sector zero with my escape pod, I'd have all the energy I had before I attacked. So, no mad scramble for energy.

    It was kinda nice.

    Also, on another note, I am dismantling all sector defenses in non-critical sectors. There's a few new players coming around, so I'll just tell you where not to go: Sector 1108, sector 2055, and sector 3000.

    Stay away from those sectors and you're fine. Feel free to scan my worlds as well. I may be downsizing my empire soon, at any rate.

    To all new players: I'll donate 40 quadrillion credits (minus whatever percentage IGB takes away) to you, so long as you let me know in this thread or via PM if you want it.

    However, you need to use at least 1,200 turns for IGB to let me donate any money to you.

    Took long enough, I'm only just back after a couple of weeks without net access and I expected that world to have been taken a long time ago!

    It took me a while to have sufficient funds to safely overcome 450 million fighters without dropping myself behind Timmy's net worth.

    ^I think you mean billion. ;)

    Anyway, I recently discovered that planets have a limit to the amount of credits they can hold. My planets stopped earning interest at around 9.2 quintillion credits. I think I lost a few hundred quadrillion in potential interest. But Chewie, you should make sure you are gaining interest on some of your planets, because when I last checked them 12 hours ago they were near the limit.

    Alright, God has fucked me over and I'm pissed.

    I just tried to collect 9.2 Quint from each of my worlds. For some reason it collected all the credits from each, but only gave me 9.2 quint total.

    That's right, the game wiped out 4/5ths of my total wealth. Its gone, and it won't come back.

    If someone could please do something to just give me back my missing 37 quintillion credits, I'd be greatful, but I somehow don't think it will happen. Its a fucking nightmare! I just did the 'collect credits' function, and I was fuxored.
