What's Your Most Valuable Trade Resource?

from GalCiv3 Forums

If you had to choose one Planetary Trade Resource as the most important resource to you, which one would it be. Can only pick one, and this doesn't include strategic "Mining" resources.

 

For me it's "Helios Ore", without question. Helios Ore

  Capacity +5%  

I always buy up all of the Helios Ore from the other factions. Even a small amount starts to add up and I can add more components to my ships.

Mostly Helios Ore.

Though often if they don't have that, then the one which grants production bonus.

 

Least is Tourism bonus.

I don't find any one of them more important than the others. If I were to concentrate on obtaining only one of them from the other factions which one I would go after would be more of a game by game decision.

Come to think of it, it would be more of a changing decision based on how any particular game was progressing.

Hence: I have to wonder why you ask this question. If you are proposing a change to the game mechanics, please don't.

No not proposing anything. Just interested to see what trade resource that other players try/want to get the most of. For me, I try to buy up as much Helios Ore as possible so I can pack more components onto my ships.
