Getting Roids and XP are too easy!!

I have read many threads where people talk about skill. And no, I am not a Great player, but I am a Good player. I have been playing since round 2. If you want to put some skill back into the game:

Then roiding should be like it was in the early rounds. PODS SHOULD FIRE LAST, AND YOU SHOULD ONLY GET ROIDS IF YOUR PODS SURVIVE. This would stop Ziks being roided all the time. Getting roids even if all your pods die is too easy.

Also, the formula for XP should change. XP SHOULD BE EARNED ACCORDING TO HOW MUCH OF YOUR ATTACKING FLEET REMAINS AFTER THE BATTLE. Example: earn 100% XP if no ships die. Earn 75% XP if 80% of your fleet survives, 50% XP if 60% survives, 0% XP if 40% survive. Or something like that. This would put an end to suicide attacks for XP, and so called XP whores.

Anyway, just some thoughts I've had for a while. Any opinions?

Re: Getting Roids and XP are too easy!!

1) roiding: Pods DO fire last (only stealers shoot afterwards) and they only cap roids if they they survive, so i don't see the point in what you said.

2) if XP gets change that way it encourages bashing. i would only attack small planets with crap fleets; cap their roids, my entire fleet survives and i get XP for that. that's not why XP was introduced. it was ment as a reward to hit bigger planets, not smaller ones.

what i agree on with you is: XP should be changed (got nfi how though) and XP whoring and suicide attacks should be stopped

Re: Getting Roids and XP are too easy!!

If steal ships die on a 1:1 ratio of stealing, then pods should fire after steal ships. Otherwise, it's fine the way it is.

Re: Getting Roids and XP are too easy!!

If xp were added if all your fleets survive, would just make the big bigger, as they just build huge attack fleets and overkill.

Well, to stop the bashing of smaller planets, then calculation could have more added to it like:

planets smaller than you, XP would be divided by 2
Example: Earn 75% XP/2 if 80% of your fleet survives

I think you are very childish to make such a comment. And by the way, I am not speaking. This is considered writing.

Actually it's considered typing. While we're being pedantic y'know. That said, bad stoom, stay on topic.

not everyone posting on here is english, and english is far from there first language, I think its quite encouraging to see that people are courageous enough to post on a forum renowned for slandering everyone in a language over than there mother tongue, I know i wouldnt start posting on a norwegian forum, if i could even understand what people were talking about in the first place.
