a mod needs to play the game. Period. They dont need to play in every galaxy. You cant effectively gauge changes and the atmosphere unless your in the thick of things with the other players.
Its not about mods playing or not playing. Its about finding mods that are qualified and are known to be honest. Its about strength of character and principles.
amen skyroshroud!!
the solution is simple. You keep the 35% family rule in place and eliminate the personal 35% rule. no more coring.
Josh is right. Galaxys need to be reshuffled every round. mw and pw this round is totally unbalanced. I agree with everything he said in his post above. The tactic of coring is ruining the game.
Totally agree 
lets do it.
The question was asked.....i answered 
If i were a mod i would....
1. Bring back KOTH. We would have to figure out how to make it end properly. Last time it was kinda buggy when a family went for the win. Ideally KOTH would have SS hardcore rules.
2. Id improve the Wardancer. Hardly anyone plays this race in Milky Way and Pinwheel. Ive made a post in the Ideas forum on how to improve and balance them out against the other attacker races.
3. Id like to see the entire operations system overhauled. it should be just like morale with each operation costing a % of your total. Allowing an empire to use more info ops per day.
4. I would work with other mods to come up with ideas for each premade race to have their own uniquie spell or operation. Kinda lame that Partaxians are the only race to get a new operation.
5. Id like to improve existing spells and operations. Plant/Generate False Info, Check Ally, Reduce Food Production need to be reworked. Im not even sure Reduce food works properly. Infiltrate is overpowered and needs to be restricted or balanced out somehow.
6. Id like to discuss the idea of putting a cap on morale gain from morale planets. Bigger familys have too much of an advantage when they hoard morale planets.
7. Id like to see a 6th science added, "Agent Operations". Why is it that only magic has a modified success and defense against itself?
8. Josh brought up penaltys or a way to stop the tactic of coring all together. Im all for that. Its a shit tactic that needs to go away. The personal 35% rule needs to be abolished.
9. I would like to see the introduction of a new unit type. Its been discussed and argued about for years but never happened. A larger air unit and ground unit would be a good place to start.
10. id listen to the community and players. We need input from them. The ideas and suggestions from them are the most important thing this community has going for it. Its our game. Lets give the people what they want to play for galaxy set ups and types. Obviously withini reason, but there needs to be more polls and feedback from the players.
11. MARKETING!! We need to come up with ideas to attract more players somehow. All these changes and ideas are worthless if our player base is shrinking. We, as a community, need to be more welcoming to new players. We should be encouraging the community to help teach noobs.
How do science planets work exactly anyways? Does it modify research points of RCs built on said planet? Does the number represent RCs already 'built' into the planet? If it just enhances research points of existing RCs, i guess it could be overpowered. If its a set number of RCs i dont see that as overpowered. Lets pretend its 20 RCs. Is that really a huge number of points generated the first day or 2?
I can see the morale planets being overpowered. A morale home planet means you get 6% morale back per tick guaranteed. Maybe it should be dropped down to a 100 sized planet? Just how crippling is a 100 size planet at the start anyways?
The 300 sized planet is obviously for a banker or a resourcer. You can build more right away and the population will be larger and grow faster.
Choosing what kind of resource bonus can be nice. Yea resourcers build mostly iron right away. Maybe they want to make more endurium the first day. It seems to me that Endurium is more important than iron at the start. Octarine and food are probably the weakest of the 4 choices. Those could even be eliminated as options. I dont see alot of people choosing them.
Maybe a banker wants the morale planet to help him take planets from his attackers later in the round? Having a tiny planet at the start for a banker would suck. It could benefit a resourcer that does retakes alot too.
Bankers and resourcers could choose the science planet and experiment with a good science start at the expense of overall planet size. Obviously the explorer/builder would want this planet.
Why do we all have a 250 sized 5% iron bonus planet? Bankers dont need an iron planet. Some attackers dont even need an iron planet. Whats with the 5% bonus anyways? Its so low a number that the extra iron you get is academic even if you fill it up with Mining Facilitys.
My idea is multi faceted....
1. We could be given a pull down of options for a home planet type at the 'join a galaxy' screen.
2. We could incorporate all the different planet types and sizes into these choices. Here are some rough ideas for the choices;
- 300 size planet with no resource bonus
- 250 size planet with a +10% bonus to Iron, Endurium, Octarine or Food
- 150 size Morale planet with no resource bonus
- 200 size Science bonus (exact number?) planet with no resource bonus
I figure changing the size balances out the bonuses. Obviously a morale planet is great, but at the cost of having a smaller planet. I forgot how Science planets work exactly, so i left that a ? for now.
This is gonna have a larger effect on early round play more than late game. The morale planet option is an exception to that. Thats gonna be handy all round long.
Opinions, ideas and feedback are welcome. I think this change would make early round strategy alot more interesting. Like i said earlier its a rough idea. The exact sizes and %'s should be discussed.
I totally agree with changing the mod team. Im sorry but Torqez is right. What is the point of having inactive mods that are barely around?
Also what about proper qualifications? Experience in IC as well as overall gaming experience SHOULD be important. It appears that the current mod team is nothiing but a friend's club.
DISCLAIMER: This is in NO way a personal attack on any of the above people. I enjoy talking to and playing with all of these guys in the game. This is strictly a proffessional evaluation of how i view these people as moderators of an online strategy game. Nothing more, nothing less.
I like armin van Buuren. He has a song with Sharon Den Adel "In and Out of Love".
I do like NIN, Marylin Manson, The Prodigy and Lords of Acid. I guess its old school and has elements of rock/metal in it. I cant help it. Im a metalhead
Anyways.....i was just givin ya guys shit.
Im not hating. Im trying to enlighten and educate you
5 man fams would be just fine.....except the announcements say its 4 man LOL
Cant help ya out....you need to listen to real music. Techno and dubstep are no different than oldschool video game music. Computer generated electronic crap. Whatever happened to guitars, drums, bass and singers that dont need autotune??
Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix and Ronny James Dio are rollin in their graves X(
Listen to This.....it rocks!!

LMAO!! So glad i decided not to join this 2nd time around. QUIT FAILING!! Whatever happened to KOTH? How about the ICPG? Maybe the one with the heats and drafted teams? (forgot what we called that). I understand you tried to do something different with this, and ill give you guys an E for EFFORT. But seriously.....quit handing us the same reconstituted bullshit.
KOTH was the best thing this game has seen in years. Why is it gone?
The ICPG draft is fun as hell and gets the community talking and involved with each other. Why not give that a try again?
I can understand why it was brought up.....

hmm. Im one of those 9. What does that say about me? LOL
everyone is entitled to their opinion. Its a fair way to resolve it and im cool with that. Count me out if it's random though
i think it sucks that most of you are voting for random.
The people that are voting random obviously know nothing about gaming or balance. Oh well i guess.
Im not gonna bother playing if its random again.
The people who are saying DONT MAKE IT DRAFT need to edit their posts and vote for 4 man draft. Alot of us were having fun playing with the people we landed with originally. Id like to play with them again.
So PLEASE edit your post Airwing, Flash and Insane. Random is just retarded with this set up anyways. You cant even aid each other. It should be either ...
A) you draft and dont allow aid or
B) you do random but allow aid and put the market back to normal.
You dont do both.
I think it should be a 4 man draft. Its a hardcore galaxy where we cant even aid each other. I think its only fair we get to choose who we play with.
I suggest we choose 4 man teams and have them submitted to the mod team so we can be placed.

@Whiteshadow: you do realize that arguing with Arganon is pointless, right?
It is entertaining though. Its like Grumpy Old Men 3
yea the market is screwed up. It needs to change more. 15% isnt working. It changed twice in 39 hours
