Just beware that exploring becomes more turns based not just on planets but also landmass. That is why I will be modest with 20K Eden.

> I may have to gordo up to about 50k land to fight in the 5-10mil range with profit. I plan on gordoing to 25k first to see how I feel. Maxing BTC/STC/historia will take a while too. Wish research wasn't so much harsher on this server. I like being able to click once and walk away rather than spending 6-9 turns at a time.

> I am on 77 right now and digging during the dig times. I am gordoing an Eden to 15-20K landmass so I can be at a spaz and Eden for base. It depends on what your goal is. If you have no intention to gordo a system up and still remain explorable, then getting STC and BTC will be what you want so you can rush ships in a battle with someone. Once I am done gordoing I will max BTC and STC and Historia. Then solely research and fight and be a nuisance to the server. :)
