The final research..

July 16, 2007 2:16:19 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Alright, I have questions about the two techs at the very top of the research trees:
Insurgency and pervasive economy.
Specifically, i'm not sure how they work.
With insurgency, when playing on a map with marauders off, sometimes when I attack planets pirates are around, are these what insurgency does? (and if so, why do my ships attack them too?)
Secondly, I have no idea how pervasive economy works, can anyone explain?


Thanks!

Pervasive Economy:

The Idea - it is suppose to represent your Empire's economic/industrial output spreading into other empires. So a portion of the stuff they buy/build was made by manufacturers in your Empire.

If that isn't clear, maybe a real life example will help. Let's say the U.S. builds an Aircraft Carrier. However, the Radar system they decide to use is designed and sold by a Japanese company. So even though the U.S. builds the Aircraft Carrier, a Japanese company is seeing profits in its construction. Now this Japanese company must pay taxes to the Japanese government = profit for the Japanese government. Get it?

The Effect - What this all means is that when your opponents buy stuff, the indicated portion of the resources they spend goes into your pocket.

I am less clear on Insurgency, but it looks like it causes your opponents trader ships to occasionally become pirate ships. I guess the Insurgency research sets up communications with your opponents merchants, allowing you to manipulate/pay/threaten them into rebelling.

Alright, thanks for that, by the tooltip of pervasive economy I thought it meant that whenever you buy something, you get a tiny amount of other empires money, thanks!

Insurgency effectively causes small groups of marauders to spawn and attack other players' systems from time to time (even if marauders are off).

I miss the old days when I'd research it, leave my PC for about an hour, and the YOU WIN screen comes up
