NEW - Highest number of Trader points made in one day: Gizmo - 23 February 2018. He amassed 940 trader credits in one game session, thanks to six new exchanges appearing that day. This beats the previous record-holder, Armani, who got 907 in July 2007, Averatec, who got 800 in October 2006, and Gwaptiva, who got 470 in January 2006
Greatest number of groundhogs set up in test Fed to help stress-test the new player code: Snocat, who created in excess of 900 new characters in the space of four days. Phew!
Highest Trader Rating: Ruanek, 137198 - November 2012.
Highest Hauler Credit Rating: Oxexo, with 10,406. This beats the previous record of 5,194 achieved by Hemo.
Highest Merchant Rating before promoting: Snocat, with 250,524 - March 2011. This beats by a huge amount the previous records: 125,258 held by Oddroid, 11,353 held by Metrostar, 11,296 held by Redrum, 9,500 held by Frazzle, 5,204 held by Art, 3,934 held by Jessecka and 4,236 held by Paul.
Longest late delivery: Oxexo, who was given 127 gtu to take a cargo from Titan to Pearl, but took 155 gtu. Given that you should be able to do the journey in 9 gtu, that must have been the very scenic route! - March 19, 2012

Sol Sumatra
Sol Titan
Sol Venus
First player to claim to have completely full warehouses on all available planets at the time: Fancy - August 1, 2004.
Only Industrialists not to have a company: Fancy and Ferreri. Thanks to the unfortunate timing of a game crash, the game knew that these two had promoted to Industrialist, but lost all record of their companies and factories. Oh dear! Not to worry, some swift work by Bella restored their lost property to them. - December 3, 2004
First Industrialist to have 15 factories - one on each planet available at the time: Fester - December 10, 2004
First death hijacked by customs: Midrats, who flew into the sun and then was apprehended by customs, who searched his ship before allowing him to be transferred to the hospital! - May 8, 2005

Highest number of AK credits before promoting: Pinky, with 2,000 - April 30
Highest company working capital: Top Cat Alley, with a balance of 1,028,945,564ig. This makes Fancy the first Fed2 billionaire. - July 13, 2006
Longest time it took to get a planet into the game: Gandolf - August 25, 2006
He made the rank of Explorer in the GEnie version of Federation II in October 1991, and started to build a planet, but then had to take a leave of absence for a bit... and now he finally has a planet in Fed2, 14 years and 10 months later.
First planet-owner to amass a planetary treasury of 1 gigagroat: Droid - September 20, 2006. His planet Draedus Prime showed the following treasury: Treasury: 1,004,588,587ig.
First player to have 100,000,000 groats in the bank: Stirling - October 23, 2006
Most company cycles spent at the rank of Manufacturer: Stirling - October 24, 2006. His company clicked up 82 cycles which means he has been at this rank for about a year and a half.
Fastest promotion from Trader to Industrialist: Yuko - November 15, 2006. She did it in less than a day, as the entries in the game log show:
20061115 13:03 Yuko has promoted to trader.
20061116 12:32 Yuko has promoted to industrialist.
This beats the previous record of a day an a half, held by Genike, and the three days of Zman.
Poorest player in the Galaxy: Droid - November 11, 2006. He went from being the richest to the poorest when his planet treasury hit the limit of 2.1 gig and turned negative, leaving him with minus 2,143,923,814ig.
First person to pick up the cab on Earth and walk away with it - Johnnysbad - October 30, 2006. Due to an error on the object that controls the cab, it was possible to pick it up by typing 'GET CAB'. This must have been the case all along, but nobody thought to try it until Johnny!
Largest merchant fleet: Zand - 10 July 2007. He has managed to persuade 50 people to buy ships on his planet Zandzabar.
Highest number of deaths recorded by the insurance company: Oddroid, with 21 - August 2007.
Largest dividend issued: Sephorin - December 31, 2007. Her company, Strom Universal issued a final dividend of 193874/share. A 10% holder in the company received a payout of 193,874,000.
Largest payout issued: Dragonslayer - December 31, 2007. His company, Scaley Souvenirs, Llc issued a final dividend of 97918/share which amounted to a final payout of 1,987,735,400. A 10% holder in the company received a payout of 198,773,540.
Greatest company profit in a single cycle: Odin - January 21, 2008. His company Asgaard Technologies, Inc. made a profit of 1114 meg and no expenditure. This beats by a long way the previous record of 654 meg, held by Doncorleone, and 208 meg, held by Chamberlain.
First company to achieve 100% disaffection: Butler - January 4, 2008. His comany Gentry Services Inc managed to annoy enough shareholders to max out the disaffection. I predict a riot!
Largest company tax hit: Cooly - January 1, 2008. His company Crypto Genetics Inc paid out 1113985725 ig excess profits tax when the new company cap was implemented.
Smallest company tax hit: Deus - May 16, 2008. His company Double D Limited paid out 30 ig excess profits tax, which hardly seems worth the taxman's bother to collect.
First person to do 5,000 AK jobs just for fun: Mress - April 7, 2008. He could probably claim the record as the only person to consider AK jobs fun, too!
Highest tax taken from an adventurer: Robot, who had 2,222,132 groats siezed by the Interstellar Revenue Service - November 14, 2008
Greatest company profit in the first cycle: Okstar. His company Frederick Foundry Inc made a profit of 255 meg, beating the previous record-holder Bilbo's 233 meg, and before that Dragontracker's 232 meg, Dragonslayer's 153 meg, Erianne's 111 meg and Aringerdroid's 32 meg.
