You know the situation - your in a gal which has someone you dont like - you dont want to waste the exhile costs and they dont want to spend money to be exhiled. The only way (I can see) for it to be abused is via buddy packs, but then again they can be abused by having a farm and then another planet in gal seeing if the get def (so they dont have to JGP). Maybe could only be ordered by a GC or in similar fashion to an exhile vote. Could have a lower cap value / different bash limits.

Discuss away!

No :/

Just pay the exile or live with it, dont start ingal wars as well..

People who are of a hostile alliance will just get roided ingal for no reason also..

I would use the search button and post the urls and say read all the other threads with the same thing init but I cant be bothered and will just say a big fat NO to the idea.

Maybe it could be added as a "Havoc Special" thing, a la Galaxy Roids

noah02 · 26 Aug 2005, 17:36

i think this runs into the same sorta lines.

if ingal attacks were introduced there would be a massive increase in xp whoreing and well organised gals would never lose many roids.

what i mean is if planet A has incoming which he, nor his alliance/gal can cover, then he would just need to find someone in his gal with pods free to wave him a couple of times (assuming it is still eta 5 ingal) and the planet attacking planet A would get much fewer roids. Then all planet A would have to do would be to send pods at the people ingal "borrowing" the roids to get them back.

e.g. say planet A has 1000 roids and has incoming eta7 which is uncoverable. he manages to get 2 ingal waves on him before the attacker can land (eta5 and eta5+1) so when the attacker lands he wont be capping off a 1000 roid planet but a 550 roid planet significantly reducing the amount planet A loses

And thats how to abuse ingal attacking

No, this is how to abuse in-gal attacking.

You get your flatmate who doesn't play PA to sign up a separate account and buddy-pack with you. You get the gal fund to donate him resources, and every couple of days he initiates some roids, one tick before your pods 'accidentally' land at his planet.

We in the business call this farming, and it got banned, oh, 3 years ago?

First round i ever played was with ingal attacks, ended up taking out my gc & moc (only 2 ministers)
but thank god it ain't possible anymore ^^

In gal attacks would take away one of the best aspects of this game: getting to know your galaxy and learn to trust them etc, because that would be impossible with gal attacks possible. Worst case it could destroy part of the community because no-one dares trust eachother any more.

Has anyone anything in favour to say of this, before it's declined?

themast · 27 Aug 2005, 12:19

The only benefit of permitting in-gal attacks would be to permit the old fashioned intragalactic war over who is the GC and so on. Make it a war for political domination of your galaxy. Tbh, this is a better situation than how in-gal fighting (if it occurs, i might add) works now - there one alliance pillages the enemy planets in your gal, and their alliance retalliates and its like war by proxy.

And its quite pathetic too...

But that is the only advantage i see with the system. War over GC/ministerial positions used to mean alot back in the day, as GCs had 10% additonal resources (which is ALOT), and ministers (moc) had 5% which is still significant. Also, once you were in a gal that was it - unless you deleted and started again (and the likelihood that you would land in the same gal was tiny back then, heh). Both of these things have changed hence, and so to a large extent in-gal politics doesnt matter anymore.

Maybe something better would be a 5% resource bonus for GC and 2 or 3% for the ministers, to bring back the glory days of in-gal politics yet without the blight of farming etc at the same time.
