I'm loving the game 'Starships Unlimited' (http://www.apezone.com). I have a question for you other players out there.
Should I build just one lab/mine/factory per world, or are effects cumulative? Can I make a ton of money by filling my worlds with mines?

The effects are cumulative, Jim. Definitely load up on labs and mines. An important early strategy is to try to colonize a second world in a secure location (make sure you can afford the 50-year income hit!) and then develop it into a research world by filling most of its slots with laboratories.
BTW, the developer recently started a message board on his site at www.apezone.com. I'm not sure how much traffic there is, but he's always been good about personally answering questions and you should find some other players over there.
Of course, I'm happy to discuss it here as well...

Actually the board has a pretty decent following with more joining everyday. The game's designer does reply to most of the questions pretty quickly (or if something simple enough sometimes just the other posters can answer the question).
I guess the only caveat, however, is that he's using the free EZ Board system that has a lot of annoying pop up ads but there really is no better place for the latest info on STUN.
