Mento also hasn't done buggar all since Sept 2012 either. He doesn't even collect his resources or use his prisoners anymore, plus he sold most of his planets, so he's weaksauce these days.

The current strongest ships in the game are Negron, Squishy Minion & Shockwave.

Bare in mind i have 420k crew, so i would say the 3 above have a safe 500k, maybe closer to 600k crew.

take a look at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=39105
and keep in mind that we are talking 2010 / 2011 here

back then a few players already had 200K+ crew

cant say for sure if they have reach 1.000.000 crew now, but some of them must be getting close to that number

it might "only" be 600K or 800K for now, but realy doesnt matter they will get to 1 mil crew soner or later



with my present production numbers, my bedst estimate is I'll proberly add 140K crew pr year
and some of those players we are talking about here proberly have atleast 3* my AP production
