It's a little offtopic, but since we're all trying to achieve the same here (less newbie bashing), I figure it's worth mentioning: I am 9:1:8. I am in a galaxy ranked 84th. Of my 13 galmates, I have seen exactly 1 on IRC since I exiled in, at tick 120 (namely, Heartless), despite the improved Com Unit. I have never had more than 150 roids.
I have had 19 incomings this round. I haven't kept track, but I am pretty sure at least 15 of those incomings came from planets between 3 and 6 times my value, usually at the higher end of the spectrum. The same is true for the rest of my galaxy. That shit is flat out ridiculous.
It's anectotal evidence, I know, but it does tell me that Heartless is probably right; if people will hit tiny targets, even if they only get 10-15 roids, then the capping formula is too soft.
