Teamwork in VGA Planets From: wws@sunray.att.com (Bill Stoll) Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1993 22:29:26 +0000 I'm playing two races against a friend who is doing the same. What are some ways to transfer minerals from ally to ally? Here are the ways I have come up with: 1) set base on "unload all freighters" and give ally your Friendly Code - his/her cargo will be unloaded (BUT there is no way she/he can beam up a needed mineral from your planet). 2) find a barren planet to trade back and forth. If the planet is yours, you can transport up or down minerals as you please. If the planet is your ally's, you can still cargo down minerals. To GET minerals from ally's planet, you must capture the planet by beaming down more colonists than he/she has, then waiting in orbit for a turn. You both make a point of keeping very few clans (maybe just 1) on the planet to make this easy. That's all I can think of. Any others? -- Bill Stoll wws@cblpd.att.com Up
