The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Seeing as the PA team is in their usual incompetent and moronic phase, I thought I would tell the community about the wast abundance of good targets in 1:1 at the moment. In about tick 180 (or so) there was added a wast number of planets in 1:1, some of which is a good target to attack for some free roids and free XP.

Why on earth nobody from the PA team bothered to tell anyone about this is beyond me, but now the news is out, so go and grab them roids.

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

they were added at tick 119 and it's not like we could hide 15 planets suddenly appearing in our gal.
and from what the incs on them have been and the fact that ppl mentioned it straight away, i'm pretty sure they've been noticed

Yeah, I've learned it from a person who "shouted" that he so much would love to be back in the PA team.

I cannot seem to remember whom it was though.

No, seriously, I did it to help the PA team as they seem to be unable to announce anything by themselves.

the adding of some planets that for the majority of people are already under their bash to a gal hardly requires an announcement.

Init roids / build ships I think.

They don't attack although it would be cool if they did :-)

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

So actually telling people that these are bots was not relevant information? Or giving the information at all?

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

considering how they have no real significance in the game i don't see why they would need to.

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Are these bots actually able to defend themselves in a decent manner? These planets are better than my alliances daily attack targets.

As I'm sure many game creators have realised in the past, you can create bots quite easily - however they're always going to suck. You can spend many hours making them suck less, but they're always going to suck.

When so many other areas of the game need attention I don't think it's a good idea spending valuable time on this. I know the playerbase is declining, but this isn't the best solution for the problem.

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

So, what's the background and agenda for these bot planets? PA team "cheating" to get 5k+ planets in universe again? (betatesting)

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Lots of bots (while sounding cool in my head) just wouldn't work practically, especially when you thing into the depths of attacks / defence etc..

From what I've seen Appoco's say in various channels, they're there to give little people trying to break into the universe something to hit to build themselves up & get some attack confidence.

I think it's a good idea & keeping them in 1:1 removes the potentially messy element of giving each gal their own bots or even whole bot galaxies.

I think it's a good idea & keeping them in 1:1 removes the potentially messy element of giving each gal their own bots or even whole bot galaxies.
So the fact that they give them very easy targets that wont build def against their attacks, nor get defense from anywhere else prepares them for real pa? Especially when they don't know they're automated bots and the rest of the universe is filled with people that actually play?

So, the new player basically learns that he don't need to get jpscans, because they will never get defended, he does not have to worry about the target building ships.

Then he attacks a New Dawn planet, or an Urwin planet. Wonder if they'll be as nice?


Some people seem to be totally up PA teams ass and cant see the disadvantages about having automated bot planets in the game. The intent might be good, but the execution sucks.

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

I do not see the big difference between hitting urwins and a farmplanet in 1:1 to be honest.

there is defacto consent between the two planets, by design it exists for you to roid it without fear of retribution, or fear of arranged defense.. it's sole purpose is exactly that. You know that ahead of time, there creates the "agreement"

But by that standard, roiding allianceless newbies is farming as well, which creates a dangerous precedent.

So, the new player basically learns that he don't need to get jpscans, because they will never get defended, he does not have to worry about the target building ships.

Then he attacks a New Dawn planet, or an Urwin planet. Wonder if they'll be as nice?


Some people seem to be totally up PA teams ass and cant see the disadvantages about having automated bot planets in the game. The intent might be good, but the execution sucks.
I've done jumpgate scans in #transcendancy for people attacking 1:1 where the bot planet has been defended.

Little Joe Noob can attack a soft target with a little fleet and learn the motions, weather that be having his / her fleet smashed due to lack of preparation and learning for next time or landing successfully and daring to go bigger next time. As they progress and start going for bigger players they will obviously step up the game. It's part of any natural progression, the better your get (more score / whatever) the harder it's going to be.

You need to take your head out of your own little Planetarion wonderland you seem to live in and realise that these planets give new people something to practice on and develop the confidence to go after the bigger fish. With such a small user base it does give the rare new players something to go for that they normally would naturally have with a game population of 10k+.

While these planets could be interpreted as farms - bear in mind that they do get defended occasionally by the human element in 1:1 and the fact they are out of the bash limit of most of the serious player base, thus having zero effect on the outcome of the round. If they were all 600k with 700 'roids, then it would be a different matter.

Give it a chance, it seems to be working well

So why not tell little Joe Noob about this excellent oppourtunity then.

You seem to be very shifty, you think its an excellent option for the new player, but not telling the new player about this possibility is okay?

If you actually want someone to benefit from it, why not tell people about it?

So they didn't make an announcement about it, big deal. From what I saw in various irc channels public and private, everyone seemed to notice and work out why they were there (their planet / ruler names kind of gave it away).

You seemed to have been one of the slowest to notice given how late after it happened your post came out

To be honest this post from Cin sums it up. Especially given how slow you were (and wrong).

Does it even matter? We should just go around closing everyone who hits allianceless newbies.

Besides, what is the problem here, really? A few people can hit a planet which is guaranteed not to get defence, kill some fleet, lose some fleet, and cap a few roids. They're not getting much in the way of XP, the planets are and stay too small for that. If they get fat off these planets, they'll get incs, just like the rest of us, and lose the roids, just like the rest of us. And then they can start over. Just like the rest of us.

For alliance players it's counterproductive to follow this tactic. They'll cap less roids and get less XP than they would if they hit around their own size (even when you keep the possibility of defence in mind). Furthermore, if they hit the bots, enemy alliances can send more attack fleets to the real targets, which in the end just costs you. So all that happens is that the universe gets a small injection of roids every night. Big deal.

It would probably have been a good idea to have done that. But again, I don't see the big issue here. You're just kicking up a lot of fuss over nothing.

I'll defend one of them tonight just to prove you wrong. And in any case, this is a fairly useless discussion.

Plus - these planets are created by and controled by senior admins, not having a large impact on the end game rankings nor be used as a biast to one particular planet / player. Thus equal and fair game to all.

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

they are farms, in a game where farming is illegal... it is against the rules

they DO have an impact on the game as they allow players to gain roids from farms, instead of manned planets

you want to make faming legal, fine.. until then, these planets shouldn't be there

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Shut up.


Farming requires consent. There is no consent. Ergo, not farms.



(sentience is also required, which probably rules you out too)

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Its not really any different from if I signed up - I'd have an account, I'd init some roids build a few ships - but I;d be so inactive as I can;t access the game for 70% of my waking hours that I'd get roided loads. I don;t want to loose my ships or roids, I'd love to build myself up to an ok planet, but at the same time I don;t really care as I'm not that active.

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Some of this more recent bout of complaints probably stems from the number of asteroids initiated. When I was updating a minor part of the ticker, I accidently disabled the bot update feature (which is run after the ticker has finished, by the ticker). When I re-enabled it, it showed a previously-unknown roid-initiation bug where some of the planets spent lots of resources on asteroids. As most of them had around 3 mil resources total, this ended up being quite a few roids. However, as the round progresses, the bots should be more steady, and build a fair amount of ships. Hopefully we can even add some sort of learning ability to allow them to stop incomings and defend each other, but this is not a definite.
This was as much an experiment as anything else, and we put them in 1:1 so we could keep them out of the way of all the other galaxies and see how they faired. Learning and adjustment can be taken from the experiences so far this round to improve them forthwith :-)

Re: The fantastic secret abundance of crap planets in 1:1

Personally I'm delighted that PA Team have decided to go ahead with the plans for bot planets, and wholeheartedly hope that it will be successful. If we can get working bot planets going then that will give the game a whole new edge. Long-term implementation will not be easy, as everyone realises, but as proof of concept I'm extremely pleased with developments.

there is consent, they are there, they are farms, created as farms, to be used as farms... the people hitting them know it, their creators know it, there lies your consent...
