if one planet is bunkered it makes it easier for someone to collect. bad for raiding. otherwise its only one planet that can not be raided. and it makes someone a nice honor farm. The job of planet raiders is keep everyone collecting their production. Building bunkers is part of the game and should be balanced with other styles. They have to be killable. If defense is overpowered it hurts activity and makes mining boring and easy. the counter to ipm is metal-based defense, RL. due to the high ar…

if you keep same supported languages, players will be happier with bigger servers, even if theres a language barrier. You could also keep the language separations and reduce number of universes per language by completing merges and not opening unis as fast.

Minion i agree with what you posted. about the rates. 2-1-1 and 3-2-1 are the legal rates. anything outside that is a gift. merchant gives you the maximum amount of metal and crystal possible for youre deut, but when selling metal for deut you get the same trade rate reversed and get screwed, plus you have to bargain. If 3-2-1 is the value of res then it shouldnt also be the upper legal trade rate for selling deut. I'm not sure but i theorize merchant is used much more by deut sellers than deut …

leagues, im starting to get it. imagine if the whole game worked like this. instead of every server having a few colossal accounts (who suffer from lack of meaty targets) there would be high powered servers with massive battles. but the current merge system is good if there were less total universes. removing merchant, merchant is aweful, it reduces player interaction. but you need it, without it there's no crystal (see below). im not sure why trade rates are 2-1-1 through 3-2-1, but merchant gi…

Special server with restrictions to make it fairer would attract players. Quote from TGWo: “Accessing at universe you start a new account. After period fixed (in example after 1 month), if you in your universe aren't more in position that give access, then your account in special universe will be placed in vacation and you will no able to access at special universe; after an other period if you will be again in right position , you will be able to access again at your old account and restart to …

its currently points based. if protection is tutorial based you could purposefully not complete it. RE: new uni peace time: I always start unis late at least a week, on accident. I hear theres a lot of fast paced carnage first days. I played an event server at start and it was cool. Youre lucky you start at beginning. i have a solution to your complaint: ===== disable the more luxurious DM items in first days of uni to increase competition. ie instant res creation! : o =====

The ingame text and the wiki linked in game mention recyclers getting new drive upgrades. can you include a note about increasing the fuel used by recyclers. normally improving drive decreases fuel used by allowing you to slow. Now that i know, i think its so cool. you can change recyclers into a different unit basically. a side-grade. Too bad its permanent and it isnt documented. Instead of having an awesome strategic decision and going with impulse drive 17, I got hyperspace 15. Slowed LF hits…

Players want to stay with they're favored friends/enemies. If you tear someone out of their server you'll be breaking up guilds. the current system: a whole alliance can merge into same target uni. Players stay together during transition. What i like about this, you wont see green and red players taking up the map: map will be denser with targets. Current system doesnt account for long periods of inactivity, it only looks at (age of uni) X (res factor). your system will keep accounts more equal …

Honor points are the best gauge of projecting your power on equal opponents. All players get a chance to play the honor game. The 100 rank rule doesnt scale with server population and it doesnt need to. if youre down to 100 active players, targets are so important. It gracefully handles the ultimate battle of ultimate destiny. Now anyone who has experience in the simulation of the fight knows almost surely that these differences if they collide there is not a big margin of profit, if you can ear…

FAKE ACTIVITY Expedite creation of fake activity on one's own bases: asyncronous buttons to make all your moons starred, or all your planets starred, and maybe a way to affect individual bases. Enemy can watch you from galaxy. Its necessary to throw in fake activity: selecting planet/moon to make it starred. Sometimes my entire raiding sessions ill keep all moons active every 15 minutes. How are we supposed to star our own planets? what i do is select merchant page or a fast loading page, then m…

Bonus starting res for each day you start late works because it never catches up to what you can make by playing normally from start. might be abusable, but could always put the bonus straight into mine levels and some solar. It's also _not necessary_ because ogame isnt super competitive skillwise. its about outlasting and always _logging in_. Plus its easy to ask for res : ) ADDED: Giving a jumpstart of res might boost universes for psychological reasons. i dont like starting late. and back to …

currently it will say something like "1 Comment" in CR. it should say that in CR list too. as long as the ignore system is working. a lot of players don't want to talk to opponents. and if they do want to, theyre probably trolls or cryers. annoying. just note the more you notify of CR comment the less likely non-trolls will use it, and the inverse!

my idea of vm is if you come out and attack, youre stuck out and vulnerable. That's totally fair and will massively increase targets. Theres so many ways to balance and accommodate, like allowing x number of vm activations per interval, or allowing limited emergency activations. I agree 2% might make FSing too easy. but 5% has more pros than cons. ================= Suggestions: lower C mine cost multiplier 1.6 =>1.5. in cygnus i make almost 4 metal to 1 crystal and upgrading metal mines still pa…

RE: VM cooldown: good info. to those arguing for pop out and back into vm. If you can vm you can launch fleet, fuel allowed. vming might be nicer, but if you jsut came out of vmode, you have to sacrifice the safety of the mechanic for 24 hours. Part of the game is losing your fleet from lack of planning. should be good with slower speed options, 5%.

After a conversation ill find a percentage of my ideas are flawed or ignorant. that's how it goes. say what you think. I realize a lot of addons can fix small hiccups and js bloat in interface, but the stand alone game should still play well enough and be free of easily corrected flaws. Interface & Performance Faster page loads: I used to always use mobile version, thinking it would be faster. at one point i realized they both loaded equally fast and just went back to regular version. maybe ill …
