Seriously, Zoom!? Did you ever see Imidero? NeBs filled in a hole about 14 cubic kilometers on just one part of our base. Terrain was sea level at one edge and the hole was about 2500m by 3000m square. We lifted the terrain to 1900m height and had 2600m (above 0m) walls.
It took four Symbionts about 16 hours a day for three weeks to complete and at times there were double that number. That's just the back of the main base, does't include the front. On that island also were three 200m thick, 2600m high, 2000m long walls at the teleports. Add to that all the "passable terrain" terraforming and offensive terraforming during sieges of other bases.
I estimate that NeBs which, lets face it had less than 10 active members during most of this time spent easliy over 10 billion on terraforming. STC must have spent something similar or more. I'm sure PHM must be there or thereabouts too - they terraformed 3 islands.
I don't think there should be any reimbursement. We had fun, we made money, move on.
