getting into debt

[pal28]

hello there iv always had this problem of getting into debt when building ships basically im loosing money. To fix the problem iv increased the amount of credits in the trade centre to 10,000 this has solved the problem everytime i now build ships i never loose credits have i done the right thing? or is there another option to generate credits? iv included a picture to show this

Are you making the best use of the economy? do you have trade routes set up?
you can also increase each systems income by making trade goods. Don't have all of your systems constructing at once.
I don't use any mods or cheats for cash but can still field over 100 ships.
I suppose it would also depend on what race you are playing.

i dont need trade routes iv changed the amount of credits that are generated to 10,000 with this i get more money and the money does not go down when i build ships

in udm you don't have this problem... trade route is however key... i supposed you can rig up the game any way you want, might as well use cheat to get 10 k just by pressing buttons... that's not the point. try functioning within constraints of the game and make million. talk to gentle, he is an economy expert on this one:)

Indeed, there can be no real sense of achievement or satisfaction in destroying the enemy when cheats are used, for me anyway. I can easily hit 10k and more per turn by turn 200 and still support a couple of hundred ships no problem, just with correct strategy.
