Dilitium-Crystals

the Red ones really help your ship's off/def stats. You max 3 of these red resources and your ship stats increase 68*3=204%. Will enough red resources, your Dreadnought can destroy an Overlord.

Those red cone looking things are called Dilithium Resources? I always just called them Miltary Resources!

Deinonychus: You need to build a starbase on them. You'll get a 5% bonus to military just from that. Continue building mining modules on it and you'll increase it a lot.

Try this: write down the stats of a corvette before you build a SB on a military resource. Then, keep writing down the stats each time you upgrade the SB. You'll see the effects pretty well!

I happen to believe resources are the key to the game. Grab as many as you can!!

Hmm, never heard them called dilithium before. I agree that resources are key to the game. One of the little things I like too is the fact that if another race controls a lot of them the other powers will come to you saying, "X controls a majority of the galactic resources, we need to work together in secret to stop them."

The names aren't really used anywhere in the game, but I had provided area in their definitions for their names so that we could have different ones that had different effects, or something like that.

Ahh..thanks for the clarification, Cari!

I wish you could trade their abilities to other AIs though.

That's what they are called in the manual. They have names for the other resources, too, but I'm too lazy to look 'em up...

I want some Rabid resources... there's something for the scenario editor, custom resources.

Rabid Resource:
+5% speed -- Rabid go fast fast woot!
-5% diplomacy -- foam in mouth, scares people

That's great!

Does this mean that when you have a fully developped mining starbase you wil have:
speed: +68%
diplomacy: - 68%
