Hi guys...
I came back from a looong break and I did some extensive testing in the meanwhile... I am ready to face the world with the results
But first I'd like to clear up some misunderstandings:
*It appears that people think that I testbed in accelerated univerce. This is seldom true, cause I need some time to scout and accomulate minerals for free... so when I say 2420 it could be transferred into 2412 in accelerated.
*Some people seem to insist that I did only some quick testing before I put these ideas on forum. This is simply false, I have at least 20+ race files before me, most of them were rewritten several times as I developed the -fm concept (thanks to some "constructive" critisism this process is ongoing Evil or Very Mad

)
*The poll is evenly split between supporters of Remote Mining and those who'd rather not do it (there is a slight lean towards supporters though - makes me proud Twisted Evil

) .
*So people it seems, do not read the posts carefully and keep rising the same issues that I thought were settled. I am not going to go through them again! Sad

After several weeks of testing I came to following conclusions:
* -fm race type is sertainly THE most unforgiving economic model there is. The difference between a good race and a broken one was more often than not dimply laughable and that gave me a lot of headache as the only way to tell whether the race was going to perform or not could only be determined after a lenghty play testing.
*When playing an -fm you simply do not have the room for a single mistake.
* -fm races are playable and if only in my hands the are very competitive. In hands of a novice the -fm is simply dead unfortunately...
* MM workload was less than I expected and in some ways more friendly than conventional MM. Cause I didn't have to keep track of mine and factory production, only mineral supply.
* -fm performs exectly like a -f race in terms of res growth and slightly less in mining terms in the beggining when alone.

Below I will explain in detail how I came to these conclusions, as well as explain the theory and practice behind them.
I would also like to thank the people that contributed their constructive critisism- without them my progress would have been much slower...

In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
