Offensive weapons problem (Little Upsilon)

hi there. recently i have been throwing a lot into offensive weapons. yet all of a sudden a new message has popped up when i wish to purches some more offensive weapons. it is

You cannot buy offensive military equipment if your net cash is below -3T SC$.

now at the moment i am in desperate need for offensive equipment as i want to keep my war going so i can push through. can someone explain to me please what this means and do they have any suggestions on how i can get out of this and avoid it in the future. thnx.

It means you cannot afford more offensive weapons. The quickest way to remedy this is to sell gold coins for game cash, on the cash market. This will give you a quick injection of cash.

However, in the long term, it is better to build a profitable economy to support such military. Militaries are expensive. Quickest way to expand your economy is to allow CEOs in your country, allow them to bid on any state corps, and lower taxes to 0 to attract them. CEOs pay a portion of their gross revenue to you as resource fees, and this is a very lucrative source of income.

thnx keith for your advice there. i just got a little confused when it still allowed me to bring in defensive militairy equipment.

you can always buy more defensive weapons no matter how low your assets are. this is because you have to be able to defend yourself obviously, and also a lot of the early levels have requirements for defensive forces index to be 75, 100 etc. but the thought is you dont really NEED offensive weaponry, and if you are in trillions of debt you probably dont *deserve* them.
