Yeah you.

I know (well I think actually) there's a thread around here somewhere where you explained how to set the empire econs up for the bestest running thing ever, but I can't find it.
Any chance you've got time to explain it (using small words remember) again?

Ok small words. Run AOTK3 server. Run ED's DB Editor on it for a report. Read the empire econ ratings. Their economy gave them those rankings. Give each empire exactly the econ that is listed. I do think 2 Cartels have equal econ, so change one of them by a point or so as long as no other empire has that sam econonmy. Here is an approximation of the values in AOTK3, but I cannot find the final numbers which were all different. This appears to be a beta version I used and when I was done tweaking, none were the same:

Empire Economies
================
          Federation:     4200
             Klingon:     4000
             Romulan:     4400
               Lyran:     4200
              Hydran:     4200
                Gorn:     4400
                 ISC:     4400
               Mirak:     4000
             Neutral:     4000
        Orion cartel:     4400
      Korgath cartel:     4200
        Prime cartel:     4200
   TigerHeart cartel:     4400
 BeastRaiders cartel:     4100
    Syndicate cartel:     4200
    Wyldefire cartel:     4100
      Camboro cartel:     4400

Max econ (for rank comparison): 4400
Ave econ (for shipyard costs):  4223

Economic Ranks (0-5)
====================
Federation: 4.77273
Klingon: 5
Romulan: 4
Lyran: 4.77273
Hydran: 4.77273
Gorn: 4
ISC: 4
Mirak: 5
Orion cartel: 4
Korgath cartel: 3.77273
Prime cartel: 3.77273
TigerHeart cartel: 4
BeastRaiders cartel: 3.65909
Syndicate cartel: 3.77273
Wyldefire cartel: 3.65909
Camboro cartel: 4
Neutral: 4.54545

What you will notice is that no Empire has a rank below 4. Four and up is what you need to have all races build Starbases. Also make sure this economy is STATIC. That means dont put econ hexes in places where hexes can flip. Also, neutral hexes cout econ 2x. Use the AOTK3 Econ gf setting file. It's tailored to the econ on the map and regulates the number and frequency of BB's and Starbases built so the yards run smoothly.

Perfect.
Thanks!

I take it this means the LCW is on track then.  GREAT.

Don't bet on it. This is the tip of the iceberg to getting a server to run properly. Hexx, you need technical help? As long as you leave me out of the creative process, my help is at your disposal.
