You shouldn't be able to bomb or build your way to FA in one month, regardless of skill level. Both are possible in this current version. The bombing problem creates hundreds of empty planets for people to build upon meaning anyone who likes building can litraly do it 24/7, gaining more prestige from it than was intended (we never intended for 25-50% of the planets in the MV to be buildable at the same time).

Building is boring. The excitement of defending from bombers, as Kanman has talked about, is more often than not, stressful, rather than exciting. I mean...you sit there for a while, just clicking diamonds every so often, and waiting. A bomber comes in, and flattens it all. I mean...that's not very exciting to me, just a tad frustrating.
Sure, there's some excitement if the bombers stays long enough for you to strike into its hull...but compared to supplying, when you're (usually) in the midst of the action, combat, where you *are* the action, and bombing, where you...well, get lots and lots of prestige with relative ease, building is a relatively boring prospect.

@Tommas, I never said we'd lower building prestige. It'll get automaticly lowered when we fix bombing (less planets to build). And yes Leo, you can build your way to pretty much FA, rather easily.

Maybe not within a month (an exageration on my part), but you can do it faster than you should be able to.

its really simple actually, heres a basic 4 guide i made:
1. loose your sense of moral
2. outsource building to a third world country
3. celebrate making it to GA even though you cheated
4. get bantarded for cheating

Okay, in the last 3 hours I have built and built on admiral
3 planets finished, to 14-17 def
GRAND TOTAL PRES: ...*drumroll*

Someone who came on and bombed 3 of my not so finished planets made 150 pres in about 15 mins
BUILDING =/= fast

When we eventually implement platforms, Engineers will have a better career path and more opportunities to gain prestige.

Building should have a tetris subgame. Get more points adn you build faster.
