Recycle center

Permanently? I think I had assimilated ships with shields. It takes time to regenerate but if you get them delivered to your base for free...? 

i mean that if u assimilate a ship with shields online, those shields drop to 0% and start regenerating like normal.

It actually does add quite a few resources. Enough to pay for itself in 2 minutes.

i dont challenge that, thats generating resources, not recycling. recycling is taking something and making a new something out of it. ie taking a mandril and turning it into res to build a cube etc.

You realize that you are recycling supplies?

actually you are recycling supplies to get resources... thats why it is called recycling center and not resources generator or something...

and you need quite a few incubation centers if you want to recycle dilithium and tritanium at same time and not lose supply  :D
6 i think as optimize... i havent tested it for a long time  :whistling:


:shuriken: never mind

6 (maximised obviously) incubators is more than enough

after a number of incubators you should be randomly giving your allies some supply that u have left over but cant use. its very hard to perfectly balance borg res as they have 4 different things they need.

same applies to a lesser degree with dom. i find if i manage to get all 4 ketracel synths around my exp tri moon that i am rolling in supply and can randomly donate it. thats why klinks can use an ally lol.

It ends up being 2 upgraded incubators per resource, so if you're running both, you'll need 4.  Plus a few more to actually build ships.  6 upgraded ends up being about right.
