To be honest, I've never been bashed before :| [unless intentional suicide / one of my usual ****ups] so the thought only occured to me last night. but thats not hte only problem I guess, the entire game is ttoally anti-new players.
eg if a new player only inits, gets a few ships ... he isnt gonan enjoy the game and will jsut quit anyway :s

Still preaching the attitude that helped kill Planetarion. The great thing about Planetarion originally was simplicity, despite what people seem to believe there was never a huge amount of bashing, especially post cap, it simply wasn't profitable so long as planets kept sensible sizes and ratios. Once you started adding all the fangled rules to protect newbies the game lost it's edge somewhat, the fact that most of these rules were brought in once there were no new players was also funny, though not quite as funny as you still asking for more, even though there never will be any new players. As for experienced players being small and needing protection, learn to lose I'd have thought most of you would be used to it.
