Title: Risky Space Lords (Done)
Post by: a1s on October 28, 2021, 05:45:32 am
Players are powerful space lords who command entire planets and want to become the Emperor of Space.

Planets fall into several categories:

Contracts: Players are free to trade anything to anyone (from food and ore to planets and prestige.) by entering into a contract.
A contract is an agreement signed (quoted and their name added) by multiple parties, and is binding (meaning you can not refuse to do it.) so be careful about what contracts you enter into.

Colonization: This is a 2 step process. The controller of a fleet may send it away on a mission of exploration. One fleet will find one potential colony per turn (that only the fleet controllers know the path to) Each colony is of a particular kind (see planets) and costs 10 machines to settle. Fleets have a small chance of being lost during exploration.

League Trade: For the anti-social and the desperate, there's also a backup market, that sells food, ore (for 100 Million Florins) and machines (for 150.) Or buys them (for 5, 10 and 15 Million respectively.) League charter prohibits them from engaging in warfare, so they will not buy or sell ships or armies.

Starting conditions: Each player starts with 2 planets of their choice, no prestige and 100 Million Imperial Florins (M₣). You may join at any time.

Missions: The gameplay consists of players trying to fulfil missions, which are like contracts but with the game. Missions are announced at the beggining of a new turn and may expire if not taken. Missions come in three flavors:

Debt and bankruptcy: if you are unable (or unwilling) to fulfil your contractual obligations (including, but not limited to taxes,) your demesne is terminated, and your property (except prestige) is sold off in an auction, which will be used to repay your debts. It is illegal to try and give away your property to other players when a bankruptcy is imminent and such actions will be reversed and the player banned from rejoining.   

Winning Conditions: Whoever has the most prestige at the death of the previous Emperor is crowned the new Emperor (or Empress.) This is a random time limit, that has a mean time to happen of 24 turns and will be preceded by the "Emperor grows old" and "Emperor is ill" events in that order.

I'm interested. Have a few questions though.

Does anything other than the missions and League Trade consume Machines/MF? Can we use Armies or Ships to take each other's planets? Can we convert a planet from one type to another?

There used to be (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178152.msg8251410) a colonizing mechanic (explore with fleets and settle with machines) but I scrapped it. Same with the combat mechanic (you would just steal each other's planets). You can not convert planets.

I guess we can start, and see if anyone would be willing to join later.
We'll start with a simple mission first: as the new Emperor ascends the throne he invites all his subjects to an inaugural feast. It is up to one (or more) of you to cater it. 
Quote from: Imperial Inauguration Feast (Imperial Levy)
Provide 3 food in exchange for 6 prestige

Going to need to go without this year.

Also, how much to outright buy a fleet? And can I spend prestige on anything?
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: a1s on November 02, 2021, 02:22:20 pm
Planets fall into several categories:
  • Farming planets: produce enough food to feed themselves and 2 additional planets. If a planet is not supplied with food for the turn, it (reverts to subsistence farming and) does nothing that turn. Food can be bought an sold as normal, but cannot be stockpiled.
  • Mining planets: produces 3 units of ore.
  • Manufacturing planets: turn up to 3 ore into an equal number of machines
  • Recruitment planets: produces 1 army per turn. Supports 3 armies. If you do not have sufficient support for your armies, they are destroyed without compensation at the end of the turn
  • Shipyard planets: may spend 3 ore to produce 1 fleet/turn.
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: Kashyyk on November 02, 2021, 02:25:49 pm
Each Farming planet yields 2 Food, so no one can do this Levy alone. As there's three of us, each with a Farming Planet, I propose we each contribute 1.

Quote from: Inaugural Feast Supply Contract
We each agree to contribute 1 Food to the Levy, splitting the rewards as every as possible. Any remaining reward will be kept aside and divided by agreement of the signatories

Two, actually - you need to feed your other planet too. "First-come-first-serve" seems like it should mean "first to actually come up with the resources", so, the contract is still live if you want to save your money!

Incidentally, you didn't put a price on food in the OP, but I infer from the pattern it must be 50M?

Planet defaults to sustenance farming, so no. Just means I don't get an army this turn.

Can Prestige be spent on anything?
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)

I thought it was a "First one to actually cough up the goods", not "First to say yes".

Will be interesting to see what happens to someone who fails a Levy though. Unless you'd like to buy a Food from me for not-quite-gouging prices?

Food is sold for 5M₣ and bought for 100M₣. Because it spoils or something.

No, Prestige is "victory points" (useless but determines who wins.)

Ahhh, so I was supposed to read that as "both at 100M₣", okay.

Well, this is a great outcome as far as I'm concerned.

I'll sell one food to you for 80 MF, or 50 MF and half the Prestige you receive from the Levy. Gouging? Yes, but not quite as bad as the League Market.

No clue what this means.

I'd rather that money disappear into imperial coffers than give my foes for the throne that much money to use.

Sell my extra 1 food to the League for 5M₣. I'm not a "cooperate with defectors" kind of guy.

Kashyyk, what do you say to
Quote from: Awesome Fun-Time Contract
Kashyyk agrees to give three (3) ore to Maximum Spin. In exchange, Maximum Spin agrees to produce one (1) fleet to be used for mutual benefit. For insurance purposes, Maximum Spin will be the controller of the fleet, but agrees that the fleet will only be used for mutual profit unless re-organized by future contract accepted by both parties.

Very well.

I sell one Food to the League for 5 MF, and feed my mining Planet, to get three Ore.

I'll thrn agree to the Awesome Fun-Time Contract, and thus give three Ore to Maximum Spin.

The feast goes through without a hitch, and TricMagic gets all the glory for it.

One of the manufacturing planets on the fringe of the empire has failed to recognize the new Emperor and raised the flag of rebellion. Emperor promises to grant rulership over it to whoever can put it down.

Food can not be stockpiled.
Also, I don't know what arrangement you had in mind, but just giving someone an army won't work- unsupported armies are destroyed at the end of turn (and TricMagic has the only recruitment planet.)

Also nice to know on the food front.
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: Maximum Spin on November 03, 2021, 02:20:42 pm
Kashyyk, we don't actually need the ore league request at all in the short term because your production saturates my consumption (the only consumption available), but if you want to pick up extra ore in case of missions potentially demanding it, it would be better if we cooperate so as to get the most ore and not outbid each other, so I offer these two options:
Quote from: Excellent Special Ore Contract
Both Maximum Spin and Kashyyk agree to provide 25 M₣ each to fulfill the Ore Galore league request in exchange for five ore. This ore will be divided such that each of the two contributors receives two units, and the remaining unit will be held jointly pending future contract.
or if you'd rather not have one in limbo and are willing to pay for it,
Quote from: Alternative Excellent Special Ore Contract
Maximum Spin agrees to provide 20 M₣ and Kashyyk agrees to provide 30 M₣ to fulfill the Ore Galore league request in exchange for five ore. Maximum Spin will consequently receive 2 units of ore and Kashyyk will receive 3 units of ore.
I am cool with doing neither since you get three ore per turn anyway, it's up to you.

I also make the following offer for TricMagic:
Quote from: GGNORE Contract
If and only if the Restoring Order levy mission is still available next turn and at least one fleet is contractually available to Maximum Spin for use for such mission, Maximum Spin offers 10 M₣ this turn in exchange for two armies to be provided by TricMagic, along with said fleet to be provided by Maximum Spin, to undertake said mission. Proceeds from such mission will belong to Maximum Spin, except insofar as he may otherwise contract with other players. If the mission is not available next turn or no fleet can be contracted, the armies will not be required and the 10 M₣ must be returned.

Kashyyk again, I would be interested in another fleet-production contract like the last one,
Quote from: Super Lucky Wonderful Contract
Kashyyk agrees to give three (3) ore to Maximum Spin. In exchange, Maximum Spin agrees to produce one (1) fleet to be used for mutual benefit. For insurance purposes, Maximum Spin will be the controller of the fleet, but agrees that the fleet will only be used for mutual profit unless re-organized by future contract accepted by both parties.
I would also like to discuss using one of our contract fleets, regardless of how many we end up having, to perform the Restoring Order mission IFF it is still available at a point when all the requirements can be assembled, ie, largely depending on Tric's willingness. (By the way, if you want to contract with him separately to offer better terms than I did, that's fine, no harm done really, and won't affect my offer to you.) If we do accomplish that, I am willing to contract that the manufacturing planet and any other proceeds be held jointly to the same conditions as the fleet(s).

Lastly, I pay my taxes, 20 megaFlorins to the imperial money-burning pits.

Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: TricMagic on November 03, 2021, 02:29:25 pm
No go MS. I need the tax money now. If you can't even pay 20MF, I can't do so.
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: Maximum Spin on November 03, 2021, 02:35:23 pm
Actually, hold on, quick question.
a1s, does failure to pay taxes cost 2 prestige per planet unfunded, so that it would be possible to partly pay one's taxes, or is it the whole thing or 2 prestige? I interpreted it the first way, but it's actually not clear.
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: a1s on November 03, 2021, 02:39:35 pm
It's the second way: You either pay taxes in full or the Emperor is upset with you (and you lose prestige). Since the Emperor is going to be upset anyway, there's no reason to pay part.  ;)

Given monopoly, the only one who could argue would be your ore supplier. [I'll come back to this after asking the below question.] Still feel it's a bit unfair long-term though, since you get access to machinery needed to settle new planets, and are the only one who can make fleets to find them. Thing is, I'm also the one with a monopoly on armies.

A1s, what's the selling point for mercenary work? (how much do armies sell for.)

Thinking of joining, not sure what planets everyone else has, but food seems to be abundant enough.  Looking towards either a fleet-ore or fleet-machine, depending on how eager other people are to trade ore for other things.  Maybe enter a colonization agreement (two players alternate planet ownership via colonization).

Happy to loan you tax money Tric in exchange for a food contract.

@Tric: Want to split a manufacturing planet? I could start as a fleet-ore power, and my fleets and your armies could satisfy the Imperial Mission. Let me know if you are interested.

Would I be correct in assuming the previous Risky Venture discord might be an appropriate place for discussions?

I would be interested in supplying food to you, yes. joint partnership over any planets/profits?

Should note that I need to spend 1 food to get the armies, but ore can be stockpiled and turned into a fleet next turn.

I'll need a third player to provide sufficient food, since each food world only provides enough food for themselves plus 2.  I can put my shipyard on subsidence farming, however.

@Tric: It looks like as long as your recruitment planet is fed, they produce and supply armies without further inputs.

@Everyone else: Want Ore? Need Food!

A small request: in the future if you're doing something that affects the game state (e.g. fulfil missions or trade with the league) please preface it with the words "ACTACTACT". It will make my life easier and I won't miss what you're doing.
Incidentally I don't think TheFantasticMsFox paid her taxes.

As per my agreement with Maximum Spin re: our shared fleet, I suggest we officially Agree to the "Q-ships (League Request)" mission. He has expressed interest in my managing his assets, even if not being allowed, so I think its okay to do so in this case.

So, said ship will go to the League, and we'll split the 25MF. I then do my usual planet actions for a net of 5MF and 3 Ore.

Hopefully, I can get at least a temporary source of extra food coming in.  For those food producers, I'll offer this free advice: Your food is worth MORE than 1 ore, since Mining worlds produce ZERO Ore without your food.  You could charge up to 2 Ore, but there are more food planets than buyers of food, so charging 2 Ore risks getting undercut by your competitors.  Hence, my offer above.

Edit to the Edit: what support do fleets and armies need each turn or do i need specifically an army planet to have armies?

My theory is that fleets are self-supporting, whereas armies need a recruitment world with sufficient support.  So you can't just buy an army, but rather you hire them and the support of the recruiting world, most likely for a term.  They're basically mercenaries, if that helps.

A recruiting world, like all other worlds, needs 1 food per turn to support armies, so keep that in mind when negotiating.  That 1 food could instead be sent to supply a mining world, a shipyard world, or a manufacturing world, but the armies supported by that recruiting world probably vanish if unsupported, so also keep in mind what the owner of the recruiting world could be giving up.  In other worlds, its probably worth more than 1 food.  I'd wager you'd need to offer a cash sum for initial use of the army, plus one food per turn of support.  Kinda expensive, but there is a shortage of recruiting worlds, for now...

Uh Tric, to clarify you won't be getting the ore until the turn processes.  I have to use the 3 ore that I have to create the fleet, so you'll get 1 of the 3 ore my planet produces with your 1 food.  Hence why you're getting the MegaFlorin.  But you will have it next turn do with as you wish.  I'll give you the first turn use of our manufacturing planet, as I can guess you might want to be using your ore there.

What are your thoughts on exploration and colonization?  If you give me first rights on a farming world, I'll give you first rights on a recruiting world.  We could pool our resources in the future towards acquiring more planets.  I'm afraid our combined worlds might be scaring off other partners, however.

I would want an ore world more than a recruiting one. And k on the ore next turn, that's fine.
Also, I'll give you rights to use the manufacturing world next turn. I can't use it till the turn after under current conditions. If that includes pushing back my ore payment to that turn, that's fine too, then I'd have 3 Ore.

Sure. Assuming it's a long-term contract. Issue is I need money for taxes if they come up. If you can pay that, I'll provide food for the exploration until an ore and food planet are found and cultivated.

Note that the Manufactory planet really doesn't need to be traded though, just shared in any profits. Main point of machines is filling certain orders or cultivating worlds.

I think the optimum play is for you to give me the other food this turn so that next turn I will have 1 fleet and 3 ore.  Next turn, you only give me the one food so that I can run the shipyard and have 2 fleets, while you use the food to recruit 1 army.  We commit the 2 fleets and 1 army to the Counter-piracy task force, and I let you have the 7 prestige while I settle for 6.

EuchreJack is the first to send a fleet out to boldly go where no man has gone before. They come across a jungle world, perfect for training special forces.
(Only EuchreJack knows how to reach this world, unless they choose to share the star chart)

Disappointed by lack of progress on the CPTF, the Emperor wishes to build his own fleet instead:

Jack, I'll give you the extra food to make another fleet this turn. And we can send it off to explore. Comes to a 3 ore cost though(and the usual mil). If we hit an ore world I'm willing to just write it off if you develop it though and transfer to me. Being able to produce my own ore would be useful, just as producing food would be to you.

Regardless, can I get permission to jump on these contracts when something like that comes up? 6 rep would have been pretty huge for you. And put you up there with me.

I'd suggest we do the fleet for money. 50 Mil is enough for your planets and the shared ones.

I need 2 MF to pay off my debts though. And to sell the Machine on market for 15 MF. You got a machine to develop your farming world Jack? (Also unlucky an Ore planet didn't pop up.)

@Everyone: Who wants to buy star charts to a Shipbuilding world?  MF would be fine, although could also exchange for a short-term food contract.  Let me know if you are interested, and I'll put together an offer!  Get your own explorations efforts going (after you develop it).

I'll note the major problem with this is providing those machines Jack. I don't have enough income for that without selling food and buying ore. I'm fine with it being mostly informal, providing food at cost in exchange for building up ore stockpiles to terraform the farming planet. At which point you will be able to provide yourself.

I can't say much about taxes for ore.  It made sense this turn, since I owed you 3 ore and the taxes were 30 for your two worlds and our shared world.  It might not make sense in the future.  I guess we'll see what future opportunities exist for me to pay your taxes.  :P

Sandbank Incorporated and  Space Lord of Zarnia add to the Counter-piracy task force and reap the prestige (5 and 4 respectively).

Sandbank Incorporated also sends a fleet to patrol the trade lanes. Their bid of 45M₣ is quickly accepted, before they can change their mind.

I would like to get that farming planet running, and/ore find an ore planet of my own. Once those are done, we'd be economic powerhouses and winning.

To note, if anyone wants to buy an (unprocessed)army planet, it will cost you 45 Ore|15 Machines. And 1 food on final payment if ore is used. The 15|5 can come after first payment at a rate of 3|1 per turn, if you wish.
That okay Jack? Not that many would pay it rather than just find their own, but still. It is the only other recruiting planet.

@Tric: You're probably asking too much, as we just have the star charts to offer.  The world needs development by the purchaser, and they might need to use our manufacturing world, leading to greater profit for us.  As for colonizing Britannia, up for feeding the joint manufacturing world and my ore world?  With your one machine, I should have enough to colonize Britannia if so, and can prioritize exploring for your ore world next turn.

Quote from: Colonize Britannia Agreement
Party 1 (Sandbank Incorporated) agrees to exchange 1 ore, 2 machines on credit for 2 food and 1 machine provided by Party 2 (Space Lord of Zarnia, TricMagic) plus use of Naboo for manufacturing this turn instead of next turn, and Party 1 (Sandbank Incorporated) shall provide 3 M₣ this turn to Party 2.  Party 2 (Space Lord of Zarnia, TricMagic) agrees to receive their ore and machines on credit to further exploration & colonization efforts.

I'd also be willing to swap the 2 machines on credit for a fleet on credit, if you'd prefer to do your own exploration and/or prestige mission.  For the Great TricJack Empire!

Note to self: I should have a stockpile of 3 ore, with a debt to Tric of 1 ore and 2 machines, with Tric having control of Naboo next turn, and presumably Tric having control of Naboo the turn after that as well before control reverts to me.

@Kashyyk: Unfortunately, I have exactly 10 machines for colonization, so no go on the trade for machines.  And we have the food needed to process the ore and machines.  We'll certainly have need of your ore in later turns. Maybe you could poke one of the other players?

I sometimes worry about your commingling of our resources, but I haven't the heart to correct you.


...what you should be doing is building up a stockpile of machines.  Then if we find an ore planet, you can exploit it sooner.  Otherwise, if colonizing the recruitment world makes more sense to you, then you can do that.  You don't have to commit until you have 10 machines (although I'm on the hook for 2 of those machines).

In principle I'm all for a trade, however there is a problem here. My livelihood depends on sending Ore to people who need it. Currently you need it. If I trade you this Ore planet, then you'll have far less need for me, whilst I still need you.

You need to offer me something that's worth this opportunity cost, and a different uncolonised planet I can't use doesn't help me any more than this one does.

TURNTURNTURN

TricMagic and EuchreJack pull off a raid of the enemy resource stockpile and get 3 ore each. This will weaken Achidemus' fleet actions.

Lord Kashyyk again sends a fleet to explore the unknown. The fleet discovers a habitable moon, perfect for ship building (potential Shipyard planet.) Not long after discovering it, the fleet is caught in an ancient minefield (-1 fleet for Kashyyk.)

In response Achidemus' fleets perform a blockade of our trade ways.
Quote from: clear the blockade (Imperial Levy)
Provide either
  • 1 fleet for 5 prestige and a 67% chance to clear the blockade at the end of turn
  • 2 fleets for 8 prestige and immediately clear the blockade.
Players can not trade until the blockade is cleared.
(you can still transfer money/prestige and complete missions)

A seeing as how this blockade is bad for business, the League is willing to sell you back some ships. Florins are down this year, so they would prefer a more stable currency.
Quote from: Q-Ship no more (Imperial Levy)
Receive 1 fleet for 3 machines

Some ships fell of the back of a space-truck. Don't think about it too hard.

You are missing the fact that with the mission, we get a planet that we can use right away.  With exploration, we get a planet that we have to spend 10 machines to develop.  There is also a maybe 12.5% chance of losing a fleet on exploration. I think it is worth considering, although we have an issue with the required armies. I'd suggest building armies on your end.  That should probably be your default for now.

I thought last turn Naboo was yours, but due to the blockade I'll ignore that.  Next turn Naboo's production reverts to me.  I'll need you to provide food to keep up production.  I'll wait till next turn before making any official offers.

Probobly best to take ore from you, that brings us to 8 machines. If Kashykk is willing to make a deal you can create a fleet next turn. Otherwise we can get the ore going to regularly create machines on our own from that point onward.
... Well, we need another breadbasket unless I can actually use all these armies for something. But that won't be a huge issue I think?

Also, Exploring Fleets aren't used up unless something happens to them. So you can still explore I think?

So one turn of ore rather than 2 Jack. I will of course be willing to work with you on that. At the moment, I'm wasting food keeping stocked up. And would like to be able to pay my own taxes. As noted, thoughts?

@Tric: You do realize that I've given you 2 machines and 3 ore this turn, more than my debt, AND paid your taxes.  I seem to be very generous so far.
So I'm signing, but we develop my manufacturing world next, hereby named Blacksand.

Well, its not like your fleet is gonna discover it.  So you'd have to negotiate the star charts with someone.
Still, that entered into my thought process as well.  It's the reason I agreed to the deal.  The monopoly was going to break eventually, so might as well use it to jumpstart development.

Hm, if TheFantasticMsFox does the math, maybe it's possible that the food during the past Turns was sold to the market each turn and the taxes were paid?
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: a1s on December 09, 2021, 03:56:04 am
Well, the math is pretty easy here:
TheFantasticMsFox joined on turn 2, it's now turn 14 and there have been 3 tax seasons. So she would have made 240M₣ and had to pay 60M₣ tax on her two planets. She also started with 100M₣, so now she has 280M₣, 4 food and no prestige.
Are there any objections to this? I can see how this can be viewed as unfair by more active players.


Anyway, turn in about ~8 hours, unless anyone needs an extension.

Yes, I do think it's proper to keep note of what you're doing- it's just tagging it with ACTx3 that is troublesome. The idea behind tagging stuff that way is that the GM can use Ctrl-F to find all actions they need to take note of easily. Tagging stuff they don't need to know clutters things, increasing the amount of effort needed to update. It may seem trivial, but these kinds of games can get out of hand for the GM, so everything that reduces their burden is helpful.

@Kashyyk

Given your bountiful access to resources and my control of the other 2/3 of the manufacturing side, I think it would be beneficial to develop a closer relationship between our firms. I offer the following contract:

Quote from: Mercenary Partnership Contract
As an overture of friendship and to promote friendly competition with other arms dealers in the galaxy, this contract enumerates a cooperative contract between Murelius' Model Modern Mercenary Company and the Lordship of Kashyyk. While this contract is active, either party may use the fleets and/or armies of the other party to complete an Imperial Levy mission. Upon completion of the levy using shared assets (meaning both parties both contribute at least 1 fleet or 1 army), the resulting prestige is split evenly between the two parties, with the extra prestige in an odd reward going to the party that takes the initiative to complete the mission. This contract can be revoked unilaterally at any time.

x Major General (Ret.) Aarcus Murelius
x

To everyone else, MMMMC's services are now offered to the galaxy at a competitive rate:

Quote from: Mercenary Enlistment Contract
Need a hand fighting rebel scum? Want to save your pristine ships for exploration and competitive space-lane racing? Murelius' Model Modern Mercenary Company (hereby MMMMC) has the deal for you! While this contract is active, it repeats and may be signed and activated for a one-time transfer once per turn. Upon signing of the contract, if MMMMC has the requested service in stock and available to use, either 1 army or 1 fleet may be used by the co-signing party to complete an Imperial Levy, for complete receipt of the rewards. Signing of this contract costs 30MF and is refunded automatically if the requested service is not available at the time of the signing of the contract. Parties that own a recruitment planet are not eligible to sign this contract. This contract may be retracted or modified at any time by MMMMC, prior to it being signed by an interested party.

Main issue is that I have nothing else to spend it on. I'm willing to make it a 10/10 split if you are the one spending the army for it. But we don't have a way to split that cost.
Title: Re: Risky Space Lords (newcomers always welcome)
Post by: Vivalas on December 14, 2021, 06:26:27 pm
I'll settle on a 14 (me) / 6 (you) split of 20MF if I spend the army. Not spending an army and getting reimbursed hardly seems fair, otherwise I would split a more easily-splittable league contract with you.

Of course my earlier offer helped you redeem a sufficient value for spending an army at no cost for me, but it reimbursed you for an army you would be "burning" anyways, given your full-up issue. My main trifle is with you seemingly concerned about not spending an army when you're just burning food at this point to sustain the same number,

Receive 3 Ore from Lord Kashyyk. Produce 3 Machines. Transfer 2 Machines to Lord Kashyyk.

I have, at this point, 5 Machines in storage. If anyone needs Machines, I've calculated a price of 30MF per unit. I have no idea why Jack was willing to sell Machines to the market, or for that matter to me for 20MF, but I wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Selling for 20MF is losing money:
Quote
Imagine two players. Player A has 1 Farming Planet and 2 Mining Planets. Player B has 1 Farming Planet, 1 Mining Planet, and 1 Manufacturing Planet.
Each turn, Player A produces 6 Ore, while Player B produces 3 Machines.
If both players sell to the Market, Player A earns 60MF, while Player B earns 45MF. If Player B sells the machines to a third party for 20MF/unit, they break even with Player A selling to the market. If Player A sells to a third party for any sort of markup whatsoever, Player A earns more money.
A price of 30MF/Machine matches an Ore price of 15MF/Ore in terms of profit.
Frankly, 30MF/Machine is a generous price already. I'd rather charge 40.

Additionally you don't have to sell your ore to the League every turn- ore (unlike food) can be stockpiled and sold at a later date. It's usually a better idea to sell it to other players.

TURNTURNTURN

Lord TricMagic sends his fleet to explore the galaxy. They discover a mineral rich world (Potential Mining Planet.) They manage to get home safe.

Sandbank Incorporated has heroically sent 3 fleets against the vile Sakoterans. This was not enough to achieve victory however- through low cunning Sakotera's fleets had managed to ambush our noble fleets and destroy them piecemeal. Still, full marks for effort (15 prestige.)

Sakotera is now on the offensive. They are expected to land one or more invasion armies, but no one knows where (only non-stasis players are vulnerable, maximum 3 planets.)
Quote from: Defense of the realm (tax)

TURNTURNTURN

In the end, the planets Zesta, Zarnia, Orious, Hephaestus and Sandbank are defended by armies. The rest are left to fend for themselves.
Sakotera decide to excecute a 2-pronged attack on our farming and mining infrastructure.
The planet Hephaestus is attacked, but the attacking force is met by deeply entrenched defenders. Invasion fails.
The planet Nearish is attacked next, the attacking force meeting only token resistance. Invasion succeeds.

Despite all this, Golden Corsair is sent out to explore the galaxy. They find another moon, good only as a Shipyard planet. On the way back they run into a Sakotera blockade and are defeated in uneven combat.

Space Lord Kashyyk colonises the manufacturing planet Sigma Prime.

Time has come to break the Sakotera offensive! A raid on their repair and resupply station shall knock their fleet on the back foot.

I'm not unreasonable. Even though this ship effectively cost me a Farming planet, I'd be willing to give you both it and 4 Machines for one of your Farming planets (you get the fleet and 4 Machines, and I get a farming planet). This is negotiable, to some extent.

7 next turn, or 4 and a fleet + an extra turn with our shared planet.
Alternatively, I take full control of our shared planet, I pass on the charts to an Ore planet. We both have a Manufactory and ore charts, we both are happy.

To be honest, would prefer the second since that means I can produce the machines myself each turn, giving me a decent income when tax season comes again.

Emperor grows old (for those who have already forgotten, and I understand if you did what with the longevity of the current Emperor, this means we are an average of 16 turns away from the end of the game)

Motherlands Inc. conquers Vulmilia and immediately transfers it to Sandbank.
They also send a fleet to scout out the galaxy. The fleet finds a fertile world perfect for growing corn (potential Farming Planet.) The fleet returns safely.
Lord Kashyyk sends a fleet to explore the unknown. They discover a mineral rich world perfect for mining (potential Mining Planet.) The journey back is uneventful.
Finally under suggestion from the great peacemaker Sandbank Incorporated Emperor sues for peace. Sakotera agree. There is much rejoicing.

LOL.
Now what happens if Tric can't satisfy his contract?  I mean, it's a binding contract.

@Tric: As it is my lot in life to bail you out, I'll float you how ever many machines you need in exchange for prestige on a one-to-one basis.

Quote from: EJ's Ever Present Life Preserver
Sandbank Incorporated shall provide TricMagic up to 8 machines so long as Viceroy EuchreJack is awarded 1 Prestige for every machine taken by TricMagic to satisfy the binding Stamp Auction Contract accepted by TricMagic.

Also, you are asking for a birbe I can't even give. In case you didn't notice, this is all the money I could scrounge up. I literally don't have anything else to give but spare food.

Lord TricMagic sends one of his armies off to provide security and receives 20M₣,
just in time to pay off a machine smuggler 131M₣ for 5 machines. Imperial customs is not happy this is happening, but nothing is proven (-1 prestige,)
so that he may deliver 10 machines to the Obreowenians for a set of stamps which he gifts the emperor, while he is still alive (+10 prestige.)
What a ride!

in other news:
Lord Kashyyk sends 2 fleets into the great unknown. The fleets manage to locate the twin planets of the Golilocks System one is too hot, and the other too cold, but both excellent special forces training spots. Unfortunately the space bears are around to turn 1 fleet into lunch, while the other escapes. (-1 fleet)
Sandbank Incorporated sends one fleet to explore the galaxy. They discover a mineral rich asteroid which is perfect for a mining colony. The feet returns safely.

Lord Kashyyk sends 2 fleets to explore the great unknown. They discover 2 potential farming planets. Both fleets return safely.
Sandbank Incorporated sends 2 fleets out into the galaxy. They discover a potential manufacturing world and a potential mining world. Both fleets return safely.

If I am not mistaken,
The Winner is TricMagic with 47 points!

For my first act as Emperor, I name Euchre Jack of Sandbank Incorporated as my Consul. May we develop our Empire into a great prosperous domain!
