OOC: It is realistic since I have year 2021 tech and am spending a MASSIVE ammount of money on this project(which I can actually afford though). IC: The Swiss Space Agency is currently operating a space station for scientific purposes. This new project enables civilians to enjoy the wonders of space.

We are offering a $1 billion contract for construction robots that will assemble the station in space.

*Swiss News Report* The commercial space flight company Swiss Galaxy is looking to capitalize on its new X33 Space Jet design. The space jet has been seen the taking off from the Bern Spaceport the past few months. In a joint effort with the Swiss Space Agency, Swiss Galaxy has released plans to build the first ever commercial space station. The giant space station, which will include a shopping mall, a resort hotel, gourmet restaurants, condos, a recreation complex, a casino, movie theatres, a waterpark, and night clubs, is expected to cost over $300 billion. Swiss Galaxy will be investing $100 billion in the project and the Swiss Government will cover the remaining costs. This is something that has never been tried before and is sure to cause a lot of excitement. "We have had the technology to build a space station of this magnitude for a while", says Swiss Galaxy CEO Mark Apley, "It was just a matter of putting forth the massive funds to start this project." It is certainly a risky business maneuver, but Swiss Galaxy hopes this move will give them a monopoly on the commercial space industry and bring increased revenue in the future. Early reports indicate that space condos could cost upwards of $1 billion. Artist rendering of the space station:

Patience. It will take a little more stat collecting to betray Gremlins.

I am posing as a TOP member in case anyone in the 100k ns range is looking for a target.

It would be so funny considering we have 0 nations that they could attack.

Ohhh not so smart now are ya saber? :lol:

Impressive gains by us. o/ TOP

How dare you take time away from my busy schedule of chatting on IRC and browsing OWF. Not funny!

Well, nobody take advice from Dr. Dan. The one time I ask him a question and he is wrong. :lol:

I'm pretty sure there isn't a 15k jump either.

People shouldn't reroll if they have those resources, they will be great once they are large and will pay off for all the hard times they had getting trades when they were smaller.

You have gold and furs with anything rated as very bad when they are both part of the best trade set for high end nations.

I'm at about 40% with 14.8k infra and I net 20mil.

UE please make Sparta slow down!

That's the best way to do it.

WRC for sure.

Only top 100 nations in an alliance are on the map. I like Umbrellas. http://www.cybernations.net/allNations_dis...liance=Umbrella

I talked to my friend DJ and he told me FSS is best. FSS for sure!
