That would be a bit unfair, imagine loosing a huge fleet because of a deathstar that was pointing before to the moon. I think in that case, it would be better if the extra fleet that arrived during the “charging” would automatically escape (own ships directly to the planed in some sort of cancelled deploy —similar to relocations— and stranger ships just cancel the defense and start returning to their planets). This would be a major change It would open a nice pack of new strategies. EDIT: Hmmm..…

NoMoreAngel, you mean like Deathstars go in Destruction mode, have the battle, and, once the battle is won, there's like two extra hours charging the proper destruction? That's more change, which I think it's a downside, adding “complexity”. But may be interesting. What would happen if someone logs in or defends the moon while the destruction is charging?

Of course debate is needed, or at least pouring a lot of thought into it, but I think the idea is good. Personally, I thought of it being more of a constant. And, since x2 universes still are impossible to play, if you are in the losing side, I thought of x1 speed. I mean, if the universe is x5, the moon destruction would be 5 times slower than a normal attack with deathstars. That way in every universe the moon destruction would be of the same time (3h same system, 7h one system away, more or l…

I'm not sure I understand what you say. The thing is that if someone loses 1M points trying to pop my moons, that 1M of fleet that is lost, is never “recorded”, and since we have those particular rankings (Military destroyed, Military lost) I thought it would be interesting to have that recorded there. About “because of how OGame works” (and having in mind that I haven't understood you), something “weird” happens also with Merchant when one dismantles fleet, it does appear. I mean, that's not to…

If player A tries to pop a moon from player B, and looses 9 deathstars, it would be nice to add 90.000 points to the Destroyed militar ranking of player B. I don't think there's any downside to this, and would be a more accurate statistic.

One of the reasons people play vmode (i.e., being in v mode and only playing for a few hours, and then back to v mode) is because in faster universes it's impossible to survive if you are not part of the monopoly, who owns the universe. And high speed universes favor the creation of those monopolies, people who play with much more energy tend to own the universe in less than a year, and after that, it's just them growing, and the rest of fleeters (or at least who want to be fleeters) need to pla…

It could be nice to enable a collect mission (similar to what would be like a self-attack but without any kind of battle, just grabbing resources). For instance, if a player wants to collect into planet A, he would have three options: Have cargos in planet B and deploy from B to A. Have cargos in planet B and transport from B to A. Have cargos in planet A and collect from B (which would have a two way travel, from A to B, then grab all resources, then come back from B to A automatically). Is the…

I buy crystal paying metal and/or deuterium. I buy deuterium paying metal. Message ingame to Minion. EDIT: I'm really sorry for not answering many messages, I'm overflowed, and if we add the horrible message system to that, well, it's not pleasant. Please, understand.

Just a note, don't get offended if I don't answer, I get many many messages, and with this retro messaging system it's a chaos. Apart from the fact that some days I get saturated, so you can keep writing me me, I don't mind, and I will answer when I need deuterium.

In galaxies G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6 and G7. I buy crystal or deuterium, in exchange for metal (and possibly a mix with the other product). Contact Minion.

What bothers me is that it takes more than two or three seconds to load the page, and I prefer not to look at the needed data to be downloaded when on mobile phone. So, for me, without actually having used it, it seems like more “bloat”. Which might be necessary (in a way) to manage all accounts at once and may be more benefits, but I hoped that providing an standalone basic login page could be doable. I personally don't wan't anything to do with any other thing of Gameforge and this seems like …

I understand that some shiny page with images, flashes, videos, colours, etc. might be needed to make people “look” at the game. But for some of us who have been here around ten years or so, there's no need for that. May be you could provide a different login page (for each country) that only contains: Select Universe from list, User, Pass, Enter Button; and may be a link to the normal login page. There's even no need for a background image. This would present a lighter, cleaner, faster, login p…

The cool thing about this universe is that scripts have more freedom, because there's no paid counterpart. For instance, calculating remaining time until a mine can be built, or a live sum of resources of an account (which are currently illegal because of officers and empire view being a paid feature), etc. Let's hope that someone restarts Foxgame, with even more features, but maintaining light computer resources consumption.

Three short ideas (long post, in any case) to kick this thread a little bit. I do not propose anything, I'm just pointing out to some problems I see, just in case they decide to think about them. TL;DR: high differences in points on the first few days / months of universe are depressing to non-advanced users; people want fast growth universes, but only x1 fleet are possible to survive if you are not the monopoly, may be try to mix these two; may be pivot the advertising, and reorientate the open…

I said “I think at least the fleet should still be ACS defending [::]” but I see a problem with this: if some moon is popped and an attacking fleet gets redirected to [::] both shouldn't have a battle! I hope you have that in mind. Please, come back here once it's solved to explain the behaviour.

As iguypouf says, this is a special universe. In the same sense prOgame was special a few years ago (or may be not at that level, but each first speed universe in each community). That's a good point. About the planet sizes, just to clarify, the “minus one hundred” was just a way of saying, taking the official sizes, here's a manual example, of course, GameForge should decide, but I the only thing important change from the official table would be the maximum size. I think the current restriction…

There's a problem if someone is ACS defending a planet/moon of an account and that account gets deleted. Player A [1:1:1] launches an ACS defend to Player B in [1:2:1], for example the flight time is 1h, player B extends the duration with alliance depot for certain time (in this example, say 60 weeks), during this time player A can recall anytime and have fleet back at home in 1h, if player B account gets deleted the fleet is automatically coming back from [::] for 60 weeks, there's no way to re…

Dani, I don't understand your las message If you mean that this will be turtle heaven, and everyone (or at least a lot of people) will be a turtle, well, turtles don't usually survive, wether the universe is traditional or high speed, so it would be controlled. But more importantly, the question is “What makes someone choose to be a turtle?”. The number of people that want to be a turtle is considerably small; the rest of them do that as a reaction to the universe, if they keep bashed by the own…

The problem with that sizes (130-150) is that it will actually possible to take mines to levels 45 38 40 or around that (at least I did some numbers some time ago, and I think I needed a planet of around 130 fields), which is kind of the opposite that this proposal wants. I don't see why do you need “the universe to last longer”, in fact the idea is that the universe lasts longer by removing many fields in the planets. My way of thinking is that by letting it be x1 fleet speed we would fix the p…

The minus 100 fields planet size was just a way of talking, the whole planet sizes would have to be tweaked (today we can get 90 fields planet, that would make -10 fields :P). “–100 fields” was the slogan The main idea is that max planet would make too difficult to have above 20-30M mines, even when accounts get bigger than 100–200M points. Research labs, in particular, are going to be less needed, since the speed would be high, but yes, it would make more probable than people spend a little bit…
