I noticed that you have been putting EQ docks down in places. what purpose do they serve? Sorry if I missed it if you explained it already.
Thanks, from a future trading KING

The idea of an EQ dock is for many reasons.
In this game,there is no Salvage insurance.I need to dock in order to save.
I have just edited the last entry but...
In order to re-supply the TLs etc with needed e-cells.
To give somewhere safe for TLs to hide when not being used.
As a storage centre for other items such as missiles / shields etc.

Awsome writing mate.
Found your story/guide/novell/walkthrough last night. Been reeding up on it for some hours now. Quite a lot to catch up on 
Like how you made a story behind your guide (or guide within your story, whatever suits you
)
Looking forward to Mr Fiesty's further adventures on his path to total economic domination (and the downfall of the Telladi)
Will hafto hire some researchers my self, and attempt to create my own advanced complex.
Tumbs up, for awsome writing
Edit:
Tried it, and it worked
Havent tried to merge different stations though, but if we are to follow the logic; Attempting to merge two or more objects in the same space and time will require the objects to be identicall, if you would attempt to merge objects ocupying different space into the same time continuum could risk a rupture in the Time Space Continuum
And we wouldnt want that now would we?

Thank you.Praise is always welcome.
Any questions or suggestions are welcome too.
It has been said by earlier researchers that only like-stations can be built this way.
SPP L x5 =ok
SPP M + SPP L + SPP XL = not ok
Not tested it yet.
Thanks for the edit
============================================
The Hoshi is proving good for dealing with the Pirates while still allowing docking at the Pirate station.
Just under 17k Crystals left to take to the Hub. Two rounds of transfer/deliver and that bit is done.
3 ore mines left to reposition and then to complete the complex.
Might finish both complex and Crystal phase tonight.

Norman leaned back in his chair,gripping the usual mug full of coffee.
"This complex looks a bit untidy.Whats the meaning of this?"he asked his construction manager.
"Sorry sir,We were rushing the energy production side and forgot the ore mines.By the time we had got around to the ore , we could not connect them all to the main hub.So we connected clumps together and then hubs together,but some hubs were too far from each other to connect.So,we had to abandon some of the new tech to form hubs in between.
They are all connected now sir.Just a few farms to use new-tech on and the XL size SPPs."
"Well,Oi'll 'av te come up with something better than that for old three-eyes,or we're out of here"
There was a nock on the door and the comms officer entered.
Norman looked up,sipping some coffee.
" It's Mahi Ma sir.The Crystal phase is now complete and he want you to visit a friend of his. Some Paranid called Otmanckstras.I have called in one of our Expresses for you sir,as I believe you will need to transport him to Mahi Ma . "
....
Sometime later Norman was talking with this three eye ,and was told to pay him 15,000,000 credits as an up-front payment for his services.
"My mother always said don't speak to strangers
" he thought,but at this stage it was pocket money,so he did the deed and went to the Hub.
Now they want 400,000 Silicon,so now to put those TLs back to work.
....
He returned to Perpetual sin to see the final complex."Looking a bit neater, Oi see. Now be careful next time.Some sectors have a lot more 'roids than this un,my friend."
With that the construction manager left for other matters to attend.
"Noo then Terry.What's this about considering other posts?"
"Well,I must admit it has been a great challenge working these new 'plexes.So much to learn and adjust to.And inspecting one production while inspection the other four at the same time ...well
I still bring one out on a platform sometimes ,just to prove the others are there too.
I have enjoyed working for you Norman,but if anyone else could offer me a new challenge,then I may well consider it.I will stay on ,if you wish,for as long as I may."
"You work well and beyond what many do.You are free to leave when you wish , now the other two have got their act together.But you are always welcome to stay or return."
"Thank you sir.Nothing planned as yet.I just wanted to know your thoughts on the matter."
"Of course Terry.Now if you see the other two,send them to me when they are free ,will you? We need to discuss our next project".
=============================
Perpetual Sin Complex was...
7x Crystal Fab L
15x Ore Mine L
6x Silicon Mine L

There are thre Nividium 'roids there for later use.
========================================
"ah good ov ya te drop by. Argon Council in Ore Belt has request we "tidy up" their sector with our new technology.Plutarch are particularly interested. Towing skills should be improved before we start. Oi don' wan' a complex looking loik this un."
"There are a lot of 'roids there Norman." commented Dermot.
" And plenty of Silicon amongst it."said Anna.
"Vunny you shud zay that. Take a look at what our friends at the Hub wants."
"Coincidental or what? " asked Dermot." Only a while ago Terry suggested the new pair of gates should be between Argon Prime and Home of Light."
"He had other matters on his mind here,but tell him to go ahead with it."
...

More tomorrow.
This will be the most ambitious complex yet for me.
223 stations.
Will my rig cope?

Since switch off the PC last night , I have been considering how to go about building a complex so large.
There is all the logistics of moving the roids.,where/when to place them.
Perhaps this time Norman's construction manager should concentrate on building the individual complexes that will make up the completed structure.
Thus having multiple complexes above each other.
Then connect the roids to the mini-plexes before joining the whole lot together into a large Mega-plex.
Any suggestions from competent complex builders are welcome at this point.
The Mega- plex will have the following...
28x Cahoona Bakery L
1x Cahoona Bakery M
28 Cattle Ranch L
1x Cattle Ranch M
48x Chip Plant
16x Crystal Fab L
2x Crystal Fab M
61x Ore Mine L
29 Silicon Mine L
2x SPP M
7x SPP XL
At this stage I am not sure if my new rig will take it before I upgrade graphics and memory,But I will do what I can.

This is the minimum requirements provided by Xadrians Complex Calculator
http://www.ailis.de/~k/projects/xadrian/
Although sometimes I would just stick to L factories.
=======================================
In order to boost funds for the Mega-plex construction,Norman has been out and about doing build missions.
While searching , he stumbled upon another vacant ship in the UK sector next to Unholy Decent.Obviously he could not leave the Pericles Vanguard behind for space flies to makes nests in so he claimed it.
Silicon is being collected the same as the other Hub requirements were.There is also a dedicated Hub ship on buy for best price.
In one evening it has dropped from 400k to 382k.
I wonder which will be finish first...the silicon collection or the Mega-plex ?

"This complex fascinates me.You have done well! Now show me that there are more than one station at any point",Lord Uckmankosset was asking Dermot to prove his words.
" The simplest way is for you to select any of these e-cells.You chose,then you will know we have not planted it for you."
"Very well. That one !" He was pointing directly at an e-cell block exact centre-side.
Trust this guy to be awkward..." Fine ,you watch as we remove it and place it on the transport bed...This is the one you chose?" ha asked,thinking of the magician with card tricks he avidly watch as a child.
"Certainly.But I only see one!"
"That is because we are still inside the main body of the complex.This SPP XL is actually two of the same,and is the first plant from the hub.We will be inside two transport tubes at the same time,but when we arrive at the hub then you will see that the hub is one unit ..."He let his thoughts trail off.The Lord was just staring at the e-cell block ,using all three eyes .
They sped down to the hub and ..."
" The lord just could not express his thoughts in a language that humans could grasp! But to see the look of surprise on his face was enough to know that he was shocked and pleased.
" I must bid you farewell.I must report this to the Emperor Duke himself"
....
That evening they all laughed as Dermot recounted the earlier visit.
" No need to worry about how the complex looks. It's function was impressive enough!" Dermot assured Norman."by the way,while you've been gallivanting around the Paranid Empire doing build missions,we have lowered the silicon requirements for the hub to 313k.It will take a while this time.Seems to me he wants more from us each time.But at least we can travel Argon Prime to Queens Retribution with much less time or e-cell usage."
..........
Before he rested up for some sleep,Norman had a quick look at his accounts."Looking better than last time.," he thought." I think I'll wait for the report in two days time before Oi start on te next un.Oi need twice what oi've got in credits any how soo may as well make the books look cosy afore oi start."
A good sleep is what he needed right now.Space travel is so monotonous and tiring when you travel for so long between getting these build missions.

There are some players whose main income is in that type of trade in this game.
I built my complex as a challenge and experiment. It has only been under attack once.
Not by Xenon,but by Pirates.
The only place Xenon bothers Norman is in Grand Exchange.

I have enjoyed your story so far, and I thank you for all the quick and detailed responses to the questions I have had, I think you are doing a great job...
with that being said...
UTI??? With my work, everytime I see that I think of Urinary Track Infection...... I just get a good laugh out of it. Thought it was funny, I do not mean to offend.

From another thread.This may solve my impending problem in Ore Belt
Flozem
As seen in another topic + movie... you can actually build a gigantic complex in one sector by just creating a snake-like complex build and placing all fabs behind each other in a long line. objects farther away will not be rendered and thus remove lag.
I have one 100 fab complex in Cardinal's Domain that isn't causing me lag this way. It's fueled by mobile miners in the same sector and has 65 Chip Plants.
Thank you Flozem

"Looks like we had better get ready to move our construction team," Terry was saying to Dermot.
"Why's that?" he asked in return.
"Norman has been busy again. He has raised over half the credits we need now and seems to be heading towards the Ore Belt.Usually he just does a few and comes back here,before going off again.But this time he has reached the Paranid Core Sectors."
"Ok. I'll inform the Construction Manager to prepare for transfer to Ore Belt."
"While you're at it ,you'd better remind our Chief Accountant to have the books ready for Norman It's day 27 and Norman will want to send his reports on the 28th."reminded Anna.
===============================
I'm sorry ,but you will have to wait a few days for that report.
My turn on the community game,Sunday through to Tuesday.
Wednesday evening I may find time.

"Yes sir,we are shipping out now," the construction manager was telling Dermot."A new Mammoth has been ordered with two Argon EQ docks onboard for our new construction base in Ore Belt."
"Good.I believe Norman is docking with the Plutarch Mining Base any time now.Obviously they are experts in mine construction,so it would not do you any harm in popping up there yourself and getting any useful tips from those in the know,so to speak."
"Yes sir. You could be right about that.Norman was not too Happy with that last batch."
"ok then. You take RYU 2,and we'll come up with the tech team in Ryu 1.See you all soon.Let's get it right this time."
.....
Some time later....
"Noice ta see the bases ready vor us," Norman said,as he entered Dermot and Anna's Office.
"I like to add my little touch here and there Norman." replied Anna.
" So,Norman,I believe you want us to approach this project a little differently.So as you've noticed I have our chief Construction engineer here too,so please explain." suggested Dermot,getting down to business.
"Argh,um yes. Well it's loik this see? Our sector viewing panels are having a hard job updating all the information when we are travelin' through busy or populated sectors.Karl Dysson,from Plutarch is having enough problems already , an' ee is a bit consarned aboot it.
....We came up with what may be a neat solution.
.... Start the first 5 unit complex on the edge of normal view charts.
.... The next ,further away and in line with the first and so on.So that our equipment will not have to let us see everything all at once,loik.Just when we need to see it.
So what oi be a wantin' vor ya to do is build them all in a line working out.
Number each stashun ,zo ya won't build too many or too few.
Then get the moins in place,also in a line.and then start connecting them all.The furthest first until the last one is the final Hub for the complex.
If what Oi 'av' 'eard is roight,then this'l solve de problem."
"looks good on the diagram sir" said the the construction engineer " might take a bit longer to do,but it will be neater looking that the Paranid one"
"Just remember we are close to Argon Prime now.We don't want to upset the senate after all the expense the put into our honours,do we?" Suggested Terry. " I'll keep an eye on things from here,so if there's any problems we can sort it ."
.....
===========================================
Still at day 27,so no report tonight.Sorry guys.
However the first two Cahoona complexes are done.
I have gone for the 29 Ls as suggested earlier by a reader.

Mini report as I seem to get tired earlier of late.
Day 27 - 16 hours 10 mins.
29 Cahhoona L complexes in place...5 groups of 5 , plus 1 of 4.
First 10 Cattle Ranches done.
Fraps on approach to complexes holding at 14 FPS.This is a smooth 14,so considering the number of roids and ships in Ore Belt,I find it acceptable.
Increases to 30 when docked.
More tomorrow and hopefully a lot on Sunday.
So full report on Sunday if not before.

Fraps drops to a smooth 10 FPS atm.
I am on medium game settings .
The down side at the moment is that my pilots who are training there seem to be distracted by my building activity and crush themselves into station pylons
Their own fault for not paying attention
Other threads on this problem recommend transferring the ships to another safe sector while you are IS (In Sector).

So,I have 73 stations so far out of 133,not counting the 61 Ore Mines and 29 Silicon Mines.
Main stations may be the the easiest bit.
Towing 90 mines is going to take a while and may incur a few losses.
But I will start with the nearest mine and work my way back to the furthest.
You can only semi automate at best,as you have to be in the towing ship.
Select destination after connection to the mine and tell your ship to go there.
Select external camera view and watch carefully,in case other things are in the way.
More later today.
