Most would have preferrd stay in fam, personally I would too, it is unfortunately horribly broken and I don't see it getting fixed any time soon.

As for the option of consolidating families, that is the usual path we would have taken before the round started, however we are currently a team of 3 and RL got in the way. We are currently discussing the options to make this more competitive and even and to try and fix this as soon as we can.

I was answering the points you made in your post. I also addressed your point of more drafts, if you read my post more carefully. Turns out that is how a conversation is held, who would have thought?

Warhammer, firstly this current setup was done with player input. We cannot bring back stay in family as that has been broken for some time now and our only dev left. That leaves us with Stefan who hasn't been able to work out how it is broken.

As for the numbers, you realise the number of players required for 9 fams of 10 players is less than is needed for your 20 fmailies of 5-6 people. (90 vs 100-120). Now given we have about 60 atm, yes changes are going to need to be made.

You seem to be a pro small families, and that is well and good, I am too. However the issue lies in that one half of the players left want it set up one way (large families) and one half want it set up the other way (small families). So no matter what we do we have a segment of the community who are displeased with our decision.

As for the no-deletion policy, the idea behind it is there are only a handful of players in this game that are super active, you get them deleting and re-randoming until they are all together (which is what some of them do) then you end up with one family that wins every round and farms all of the other families. No deletion requires you to be civil to one another because you never know when you will play together, and requires you to give it a shot together. If you have someone random into your family and then go inactive because they don't like a player in there name and shame them. This also applies to having more than 1 draft. I personally am opposed to any drafts, but the players asked for a draft and so we gave them a draft. The problem with more than one draft is those super active players will draft together, be over dominant and no one else gets a round.

While the current setup isn't perfect, it shouldn't be leveled solely at the feat of the moderators, given that we were acting with player input. As for not knowing the game, every single one of us was a player first, and we still play. We understand how the game works and we understand how to play.

Finally, I am moving this to feedback, as it isn't universal news.

Ladies and gentlemen, ticks will recommence in 6 hours. That means all galaxies will next tick at 6pm GMT. Thanks for your understanding during this time.

We'll give you an ETA on ticks restarting when we talk to Stefan, who is the one that stopped them.

We will have to discuss how this will effect the start of the round of SB still. As for the game itself, there are no plans to end it any time soon.

Mmm, the reduction of planets per system was to try and bring the conflict back. The spread thing is useful feedback, will have to experiment with setups to see what can be done map wise. Any other feedback?

Glad to hear you guys had fun with the 3 planet systems. Any other feedback is more than welcome.

The last two parts only pop up if they have fleet stationed, ergo your family member has fleet stationed.

Note that it says, "...will only be destroyed if your family is reduced to less than 25% of the planets in a system one is covering."

To my knowledge, placing a DS goes on percentage owned, blowing up a DS goes on percentage planets owned of the total number of planets in the system. So while you may own 2 planets, you probably own 5-10% of the total planets in the system. It isn't a bug, and it has been reported many many times.
