If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
So, i was having a chat with Appocomaster about random stuff and this discussion came up.
You all play the game, and more than likely all have brilliant ideas as to what you would love to change.
So i put it to you all, if appoco gave you the opportunity to change just 1 thing about PA, what would it be and why?
p.s please do not use this as a place to flame eachothers ideas, each of us has our own loves and hates within the game, so lets keep it clean and you never know perhaps Appoco might be convinced to action some of these changes

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Add about 300k planets and a lot of the things that are discouraging would go away.
This game is about the politics not the mechanics. That's how it was explained to me when I left Starcraft for it in 2001. Power blocks for the win.

Fix XP for defense. You get a lot more for attacking than defending favoring the 3 fleeters who are aided by their ally. Just my 2 cents

Remove alliance limits, alliances should see the benefits of recruiting and trying to learn up newer players.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Allow a second planet for each player. Score based on the average of the 2.
I fear when it will be authorized it will be too late. Now is the time.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Change landing scans:
- Show some or all of the following: size of fleet, eta, origin, fleet name.
- Make it useable at a higher eta (max 4).
- Make them blockable by dists.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Make it so that only incoming scans are blocked by distorters ....
Fix the MHs ...
Who cares we suggest stuff all the time ... people have been asking for multiple planets for ages now. The only thing about PA that will change is how fast they drive it into the ground.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
If Jagex have made no investment still after how many years then we won't be seeing any kind of investment.
Sad but true.
The game would need refreshing from the ground up into social media such as facebook (and Twitter incorporated somehow)

All three of these things need money. Something which PA does not have.
To add to its woes, the game itself is rather ancient now by internet standards and I doubt it has any appeal to new players. It's hard to get in to.
So there is no way to advertise it (no money and what do you advertise). there is nothing to market as the game hasn't really changed and nothing will retain new players.
As I said earlier, it needs a redesign which is where the recruit more people would help to code it, but again, no money to do this.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Implement a cap that also takes into consideration the amount of ships attacking the same target. With more ships the cap gets smaller
Implement a preview fleets outgoing the alliance of all planets, maybe just for HCs

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
restrict galaxies sizes to 1/5 of max alliance size... this round its very hard for a 60 man alliance to land on an reasonably active 15 man gal...
60 vs 12 would be a much more even fight

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
For the life of me I can't imagine what the reasoning was behind increasing BP size this round.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Something (anything) game related to do between the ticks. Its too easy to put PA to one side and forget about it at the moment. I've got no idea what that something should be and don't care to suggest anything to be open for discussion, appoco should just do as he has been doing of late with sizing issues. Introduce something without the communities 'mob intellect' and run it for a round. Judge for yourself if it was a positive or a negative.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
get rid of xp or make it something useful e.g. give out rewards (roids/resources/cons, maybe ships) when you hit a certain about of xp (at 5k, 10k, 20k, etc kinda thing).

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
Turn the game pro and get some tv contracts..reality shows are rampant and twats that watch em would surly find it amusing watching us getting woke up at random hours.
If for some unusual reason channel 4 or skysports wont buy in just get rid of damn run and hide button.

Re: If You Could Chane One Thing About PA....
A Graphic Interface that allows you to watch ship traffic and combat. You can sort fleets, move it, upgrade improvements and researchs via drag or click, see a graphic planet, see every ship and fleets. Would be available as IOS,Android and exe. You can still play oldschool via browser, would still work exactly same way
