I allready posted in the other thread:

a few quick ideas would be:

1. Remove Defencestations all together, another possible solution could be to remove all defencestations after 1 week.

2. Either give more racepoints so people can have attackbonus in race, or seriously revamp the defencegranting battleformula

3. If u do not grant more racepoints i would advocate a fixed market with endless buy and sell quantities, so that you would see more difference in playstyles

4. With the removal of defencestations you need possibly reduce the cost of portals, this should really be done for normal galaxies aswell.

Render you know nothing then, ive been fighting intesively last 2 days actually, or as much as is possible with the current setup.

Arby the setup of the round has to correspond with the goal of the round. I was originally under the impression that the purpose of a HC round in Orion was that it would be swift with lots of fighting going on. Obviously i was wrong, mods had a different idea, and if that was the intention all along then I can only apologize for my "whining". I honestly do believe the current setup is bad, as it ensure that alot of people are killed very early, and then it stalls as people get portalled in their DS systems. This means you have 25ish empires sitting in a slowpaced galaxy for maybe 3 weeks, while the 75 people who got killed quickly has to wait for 4 weeks before a new round can be started.

For the future rounds i would sugest that we make a different kind of galaxy, a galaxy where there is fighting and offensive actions all around, a high pace place where you can duke things out, and that ends quickly and gives everyone a new chance quickly when a new round starts.

Render you are completely missing the point, are you even in Orion btw? If you are you should know that the people im talking about have nothing outside their DS protected systems. You are just trying to be smart and circumventing the problem, but you are failing dramatically

Render i have infils of players that log in once every 3 days, all they do is infra, and add a few more soldiers and agents, and they remain impossible to kill. So you really think that that should be possible in a socalled HC galaxy, cause it certainly wouldnt get you anywhere in a normal galaxy.

Orion has 180 systems and 100 familes, thats 300 Defencesystems in 180 systems... Very Hardcore haha. And you can ask anyone Render, but im not online 24/7 and this whole thread started because i admit i dont have the time to play Orion propperly.

The fact remains that HC is supposed to be alot of attacking, but it has become something like Virgo where people can just sit relax on a few planets and not have a care or a fear in the world.

so i take it you are one of thoos eplayers who only survive by barracding themselves in some DS systems?

I cant fleetrun someone in a system where he has a DS...

Each attack would be me losing say 10k soliders and him losing 1,5k soliders.....

Please do tell me the best way to kill a 75 planet guy with 3 DSs portals and sufficient agents

waht you guys seem not to understand is that 1 man HC galaixes is the purest for of inovation and adation in IC, people who play it correctly relative to its setup will be the survivors.

With the round the way it is atm, where its practically impossible to attack, everyone HAS to infrawhore , anything else i just silly.

HC is supposed to be quick with the big guys eating the little guys. Its not supposed to be every other lithuaninan guy and his grandmother sitting on 3 systems with 3k lasers and 50 portals with 3 Defence stations surviving the entire round.

Yet again i must say mods disappoint me, instead of actually talking to me and/or debating some of it, they get defensive and deflect it all.... nice pride you have there

Ye its so fun when mods turn a HC galaxy into a freaking infrafest...

Exactly, so planet trades are legal when planet is not specified by the receiving family ...
