no pnaps = people getting farmed over and over and over etc etc. They are there as a safeguard Render. Long gone is the time of trust.
i would like to screw around with some 200rp races. Devilz and I regularly talk about our strats and how its working. We both popped last round, him full pop and me half pop. I agree that letting the player choose his/her own race will improve and make more strategies.
i think systems should still be pretty large. 12-15 is a decent number. makes it more difficult for larger players to spread out for fear of not securing full systems. I for one had tonnes of little guys hiding in my core making it a pain.
nw range idk, you need to stop farming but also dont want to punish the more active by making it easy for people to portal in their systems and jump them.
DS's stink. i hate the damn things. 0! lol.
also setting a nap limit again wont work. people make 'naps' with friends so there will always be that. & even unofficial naps with others, which will lead to breaking of naps and the whole reason it was brought into relations in the first place made redundant.
Imo the polls should be set up mid round or a similar timing - but not all dependant on the mods. Maybe a question in hq page stating, "Looking forward to next rounds setup? Throw your ideas together here, suggest ideas or help to improve others" - or something like that. that way the people who dont dwell on the forums (looking at you render!) can get a say.
