its a necro because he posted on a thread that died a month ago, wether it be a constructive message or a spam post, its still a necro.

now let this thread die.

the easiest way for me to get rich is just go to planets with creatures in the civ stage and steal their spice go out do a quest or two then come back and repeat it may not be as good as the first but it works I like to call this taxing.

Just saw someone buying pink spice for 56188spucks. Too bad I only had 11.

First of all, Shneo, that's called CHEATING. if you CHEAT, you can't get ACHIEVEMENTS.

Second, I have found an interesting way of putting this to use, not sure if its already been posted though. Find a wormhole that leads to a place that has red spice planets that are easily colonized. colonize ONE T-0 RED SPICE planet, and just leave the colony there (uber-turret it if you want, but its not really necessary). Make sure there aren't planets with any other kind of spice, except maybe yellow. On the other side of the wormhole, colonize a bunch of purple-spice planets, 4 or 5 should do, and make them all T-3, 3 colony planets, following the building guide provided in the original post. Add spice storage and uber-turret, and anything else you want (happiness booster is a waste in this case). Gather all the spice from your purple spice colonies until you have 99, then head across the wormhole to the t0 colony you placed, making sure its the ONLY colony around for.... many many parsecs. They'll probably be buying the spice for a very HIGH price, and their price doesn't tend to change much. This worked for me, and I have a lot of money now.

EDIT: After a few sells, the price does go down. my bad. Just destroy the colony and set up a new one. You may have to find a new wormhole. Either that or sell them to other empires for a while.

Purple sells for 70,000+?

Yes, a necro is considered spam, most people don't tolerate it, leave this thread in piece.

The only problem with this method is that when they become sentient they are instantly your enemy because you stole from them. The work around to this is to place a crop circle on the planet when you are done but then I wouldn't recommend stealing any more spice from them. When the reach sentience they shouldn't be angry with you but making an ally of them will be difficult.
