Nukes (Little Upsilon)

To hell with the trading thread, its never looked at.:

I need a few nukes, and the launchers to go with. I would like 6 nukes, and 3 launchers. Please send to: The Dictatorship of Kordobana on LU. Thanks in advance. I will buy the missiles for 22k each, and the launchers for 7k each.


Note: I'm not a noob, I understand the responsibility of having the nukes.

Some advice and Here's my 2cents worth

#1...Nukes dont cost 22K if they did they be easily made. A Chemical missile is about 4B and a Strategic is about 21B (that's if there only 100Q). Launchers cost anywhere from 3.6B to 5.5B(subs and bombers are 8.2B each)

#2...The cost of running nukes is huge. Your empire makes 15B less then you make on top of that you have newly acquired slaves that need a lot of work.

#3...Most players sell to players they know few sell outside that as they dont want bombs blowing up on them or next to them.

#4...You've been around over 100Game years or 200Real Day(6-7Months) i would suggest building a stronger empire before you worry about nukes

I dont mean to be all this that and this I'm just laying out some facts I'm not trying to preachy. Ive got this same talk. For now just worry about building a strong Econ Empire and after awhile you'

Thanks for the advice super, I didn't think anyone would sell within a month or 2 anyways. Btw, I didn't realize I put 22k, I thought I put 22B lol. Thanks.

Need 5-10 nuclear subs and
a whole lot of ammo for those.
Send to New York

Frankly,

Sales for nukes are typically made to people in the same federation, friends in a war, or people you otherwise trust very well and are willing to lose money to help. That is because building nukes is not as profitable as building another corporation, and most nukes are produced at a loss.

In addition, most nukes take a while to produce and thus are a substancial investment.

Furthermore, the value of nukes in combat is not as great as it may appear. While they can have a place in some wars, they do not have a place in most wars. Additionally, since you cannot nuke a C3, you will be using them to nuke someone...another player...and your nuke will likely cause damage to other players and their corps also.

If you come to a board a post a need for nukes, you probably have no business with them.

Hey Chrysostom, can you do some stats if you ever get the time? For LU. Thx if you can.
