Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

I guess what players need to recognise is the limits we have in setting up a galaxy. We could use a lil more dev input to get some more settings in place for the "ultimate" setup like some of the suggested ideas here.

We have limited control over things like map size (20x20 40x40 60x60 etc), systems per galaxy (we have settings like "Lots" "Average" "Less" etc). Starting resources to a minimal degree (set at 1-5x 10x 20x)

We have full control over stuff like player #'s, family size, amount of sectors/DSs/Allies/NAPs/Starting Explos, Market and Offensive start dates, drafts, HC or not, aid between fam members or not, a normal market etc (without having to go into  massive detail.)

We have no current control over: increasing Race points, placing players into random systems, amount of starting planets, cost and time of buildings/units/portals.

Players will have to remember that any change made for a HC gal will likely be game wide, so if you think there should be changes made consider whether its worthy of being implemented across the board. Also the code is messy, we prefer Devs to work on current issues before moving onto newer changes since with changes it usually creates some sort of other issue elsewhere tongue (not pointing at this being the devs fault, we all understand the spiderweb of code you guys need to work on outside of your busy RL schedules smile)

So before flaming us in regards to set up, at least suggest something that is within our scope to change smile

EDIT: also in regards to markets, we have a "buggy" bidless market at the moment where with previous rounds has caused issues, this would need some working on before we were to implement this in for a round also. So norm market or no market at the moment tongue

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

The problem is you guys are too knee jerky, one guy complains and we're now on the third page of crap, for nothing. You need to harden up and stop trying to fix something that isn't broken, big deal someone doesn't like this round, it was supposedly meant to be different every round? Scrapped that already? If someONE doesn't like the next set up we do this all over again?

Bullshit because some of us play to not lose\die because we have lives and can't live on here 24\7? Yeah lets change it for the minority because the majority are just n00bs anyway.... I think we've figured out why people leave..

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

Trying to fix something?

We inquired for ideas of setup for the next round, not to change this one. We haven't removed the DS, or changed unit att/def numbers, or made any changes, so thank you, but your point isn't relevant Forever. There is no harm in seeking community input for issues that directly affect them, but ultimately it is up to the Mod team to make the final decisions. Do we try to make settings to appeal to the most broad group of individuals? Yes. Do we seek to change them each round, as to provide variety in gameplay? Yes.

I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

Also you knee jerked into thinking i said you were going to change the round while we're in the midst of playing it? Lol, my point is fully relevant, I don't believe there is anything wrong with this round, therefore it isn't broke in my opinion, hence my "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" statement. Meh what do I care anyhow? This game is turning to crap.

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

we all play differently, we'll never satisfy everyone, so don't, make a round if people don't like it then tough bickies for them. Mods should be irreproachable, no excuses, no explaining, everyone knows the rules, just do it.

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

Ha! Yeah or do that for a round lol, although mate Poley has explained why your idea won't work, they can't place people on specific planets as there is no way to.

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

Oh and I suggest the same exact set up as the current one. (I think I've stated as much?).

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

I also believe DSs are vital in an HC round, why can't I have some sort of protection while I'm at work or asleep? Is it my fault I stay on the other side of our planet? Or do I leave my job and start up a methamphetamine habit?

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

The only change I would like to see is to make home systems all uniform in resource bonuses. The same planet arrangements in each home system.

Last round I had not a single research or iron bonus planet (minus the 5% home planet) in my home system and it sucked. lol

My defense station was destroyed by 1 single attack on the first day attacks were allowed because I explored iron in a neighboring system. It was the weakest thing ever.

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

Don't change anything except put in market, and a bigger galaxy with fewer systems per galaxy - make people spread out more, since people seemed rather cramped in from the start.  It's no fun being trapped in your HS.

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

Like the idea of peace for a set time so even people who miss the start (like I did) have some sort of way to recover

Re: Orion Nebula: player input required!

i think there should be more random events... like floods destroy half your harvest and boom half your food is gone!

an iron eating beetle feeds on a third of your iron... boom iron depletes rapidly for 8 ticks.

i love it!

Leap ahead
