Balancing Solar Plant vs Fusion Plant vs S.Sat

OK, I searched the OGame FAQs and the forums, but I couldn't find this topic, so I'll just start it and hope it hasn't been discussed like 500 times already. What is the optimal way of distributing your energy source production? In other words, how should one balance the number of his solar plants with his fusion reactors with his solar satellites, on a single planet? If there's already an overview of this issue, please point me to it.

There isn't a definitive guide, AFAIK. You need to take into account a number of variables, including production costs, available resources, and energy needs. Solar plants being the cheapest and not costing anything to maintain, are the obvious initial choice. Reactors, on the other hand, get you much more energy but are more costly, and also gobble up deuterium. The sats, on the third hand, cost plenty in crystal and none in metal, but their energy production depends on max temperature. So, taking all these into account, I'd say it's impossible to figure out a single "optimal" balancing method for energy sources that would apply to all planets.

Solar plants pay off till level 30 i believe and then you're better of building fusion reactors couse the ammounts of energie that fusion reactors give you sompared with solar plants and costs it pays of to get fusion reactors after level 30 of solar plants now , at somepoint in the game you're gonna have to build 10 000 odd solar satelites on one of your planets so i mean i'm against the solar satelites because as soon as you get over 400 of them you need to start building some serious defence because debris field is not that bad from solar satelites and other players know that , and because if anyone destroys your solar satelites you're crypled because you have probably had those satelites support about two level of any mines and then your production drops, where if you don't build them anybody attacks you , yeah there's damage but at least you don't wory bout steady income of ress since nona can't destroy that unleas they hack into your account. That as much as i know
