Some special ports allow building planets(sector 3000 at least) while others do not (every other one i've checked). This seems strange: am i missing something???

I have heard and seen galaxy creation kicking out a sector 3001 in a 3k attempt but NEVER a Special port which was set different from others. Thats set by webmaster during setup. In the admin configure utility. To double check before I said this I referred to Hendo, TCM, and a few other admins to make sure. If it happened it's rare.

I just start playing BNT a few days ago and i couldn't find this in the documentations. Why is it that when I'm at a special port, it says N/A in the turns quantity space so I can't buy any turns. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jpicard,
You proberly bought more then 2500 turns. Or are above a certain Average Technology Level. If this is the case, you are no longer allowed to buy new turns.
We will add that information into the Help files later, Sorry for the incoviniance.

Is it usual for a planet that has 100+ million colonists with organics set to 12% to not produce any organics but stay at 0, while the ore and goods at 1% are being produced??

Seele01: Organics are consumed by your colonists so they can stay alive. This is why it is wise to have your orgs set to 15 or 20%. Your colonists may be starving.

Voyman : Isn't the limit for having your organics at 10%, any less and your colonists start starving, any more and they produce extra organics, which is why i have it set at 11 or 12%.

Seele01: There is no minimum production level for anything, including organics. I'm not sure the exact formula(I can get it if you want). Basically, the more colonists you have, the more they eat. As your planet's population begins to rise, 10% organics won't be enough. You need to increase your organic production to keep pace with your population.
Another think you might want to check is to make sure you aren't selling any commodities.

At the ranking screen there is a part that says who is online within the top 100.
But it isn't accurate. Someplayers who are online don't show as online.
Is there a way we can determine who is really online?
