deathstars!!!!!!!!!"3214211!!!!

oh, and removing the alliance limit so that blocking's easier. it's muhc too hard for the small alliances, who don't have as much organisation, to block at the moment! this needs to change!!!

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

I think it was going to be in when round 11 was supposed to be completely recoded. I guess they did not re-introduce it for the PaX style round 11.

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

For the love of all that is holy ...... i stopped playing in round 4 just came back anmd palyed from tick 400 in 10.5 all the way through for havoc ....... and we're STILL talking about the damn toilets on battleships????

The more things change the more they stay the same......

Of course what would it hurt to change the description in the manual to saying the weapons on x races battleships is p[owered by methane from the newly installed toilets

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

what is it 10 just now?

i think galaxy sizes should be increased because when i first played it allowed a greater level of interactivity between planets... and it made working together a lot more fun if you knew the people (for those without alliances). it also encouraged people to intreract more with other players and those people who are still around from when galaxies had 25 people!! are now great alliance players.

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

But with so few people actually playing this game now, you have to spread all the active and inactive people out over as many galaxies as possible - otherwise there would only be half a dozen 25 player galaxies that were active enough to actually compete. With 10 players you have a dzoen and a quarter galaxies .

On a side note, whatever number is chosen, i strongly believe that the number be divisible by 3 - with private packs of 3 players, you need galaxies that can easily fit them in. 12 would be fine (9 is too small, 15 is getting a little large...).

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

tbh I dont agree that 15 is too large, infact in many ways I think 15 is an ideal number because of the amount of mixing it results in. After all 5 packs in a galazy not only means 5 groups mixing but also makes the chances of one alliance having a controlling share as fairly unlikly that an alliance would find 3 of its 33 packs into the same galaxy. 12 is a a workable comprimise as 4 groups of people mixing isnt bad and really you would still need 3 packs to have control although 2 would give the alliance a major hold over the galaxy.

Anything higher than 15 though is probally getting into the realms of being too big because while 15 would leave us with about 13 clusters and a 14th unfull cluster, 18 is getting to around the 11 mark , 21 is 9 and 24 is 8 (Figures based on 2k playing) So really its a balance either its 12 for the fact it gives another couple of clusters thus more targets or 15 for a better mix and less chance one alliance dominating the galaxy and I personally believe both hold their own merits and would each enhance the game in a different way

As you say though 9 is too small, there would be too little mixing and you require just two packs in a galaxy to have a majority control

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

We've been looking at a method of getting alliance communication in-game for next round. Exactly what form it may take isn't quite clear yet, but we're certainly looking at it.

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

This has most likely been suggested more then plenty of times, but i couldnt see it here:

What about a cap on the amount of ships being sent to a planet at one time. at the moment i have 13x my fleet size coming towards me, and yet i havent even reached 1 mil in score. I think that maybe a 2-4x cap would be good, that way you can still attack ppl, but it wont ruin the game for most people.

And i know some of you may think that i am just whining and that i should just be quiet, but there are alot of ppl who arent completely dedicated to this game, but enjoy playing it. And being attacked by 60k+ ships when u have about 5k isnt really appealing.

Just an opinion, love the game anyway

The problem with doing this is that it is feared that certain alliances will reduce or prevent their planets from coming under attack by launching fleets at them to 'max out' the attack value. ie, i know through some sneaky intel that tonight i am going to get hit badly. what my alliance does is send some fleets earlier and these prevent additional fleets (ie, the main attack) to launch. This is alot easier than sending 3-4 times the value of ships to defend. (If not people from my alliance (as attacking within your alliance is prevented, just insert block. it doesnt really matter)).

Furthermore, limiting the amount of attackers and not limited the value of defenders may be constured as being unfair.

Apparently.

Lightbulb Some ideas...

What about these:
  • Ressource pods, pretty much like roids pods: ships that would act just the same, but steal ressources instead of pods.
  • Use of fuel in a way?
    Possibly having a 4th ressource that ships would use to travel, or have the ships need some ressources to launch.
  • The possibility to dismantle constructions...
    If you're at the max sometimes you'd like that this or that structure wouldn't exist, so you can build another one instead.
I know it won't be done for round 17, but for later then maybe? I thought I'd just throw in my ideas, good or bad.

Cheers

http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=185751 is newer, written by Sovereign (Ultimate Newbie) and last updated in June 2005. Since he's less active now, it's not being updated.

Fuel was discussed in a recent thread: most sensible posters opposed its return because it encourages stagnation.

The return of cargoships ('resource pods') will be found in a thread somewhere. I quite like it because it discourages resource hoarding, but I'm not going to start searching for it.

Removing your own structures has also been discussed in the last few months, and generally opposed. Building constructions is part of a long-term strategy for your planet and the choices that you make early on inevitably affect your planet when you reach the limit.

That can happen again if people were actually interested in the thread again. What would be really nice, too, was if people sent a PM whenever they found a thread that was interesting, and i'd sort it by the next day.

Just a thought.

I think we should bring back planetary defenses, like some awesome orbital platforms with turrets.

Re: FAF (Frequently Asked Features)

The problem with updating threads like this is that as mods we haven't been allowed in the inner circle for a good few years. If PATeam won't keep you in the loop on anything there's no point sending in suggestions for feedback and as such maintaining lists is pointless as we have no official idea on their thinking
