Why?

Why ask why?

This is just ridiculous... X(

Good idea i say Mix it up a little

if the usefulness isn't that obvious, then it's probably not that useful?

How about you copy and paste your reason?

You're... not presenting a reason!  Your answer is literally "New stuff will happen... not sure what, but new stuff is good."

Let me explain it this way.  If Stefan/Adoross are working on the game right now, the burden of proof on you is more than simply proving your idea is a good idea.  There is a limit to what they can/will do at any given time.  As a result, if this idea were done, it would trade off with another idea on the list which at least would have proven itself to be a good enough idea to justify the change.

As a result, it's not sufficient to suggest code-changing modifications with the only justification being "change is good."  Two reasons:
1: Change is perpetual.  Your idea won't encourage Stefan/Adoross to dedicate more time to coding, so the only other option they have would be to delay/cancel another important modification.  Whatever was thrown out would have "mixed up" the game (unless it was a bug fix, in which case it was probably more important), so change is inevitable either way.
2: This trades off with other, possibly more important modifications.  You have to show, at the very least, that this is a good enough idea to justify putting it ahead of other things on the list.

This is Stefan we're talking about. 

The flaw in your plan is that there's always races active in IC. Meaning that newcomers in a galaxy have a 30 point race advantage (which is quite a lot). Not to mention that if we do this, we'll have to revise all the custom races as well.

there are too many games where the developers actually give a damn for IC to thrive with one that doesn't... there is no saving ic. even if this was implemented, the occasional change to ic won't save it.

yes it is, bankers can be more bankers, attackers can be more attackers, SS can be more SS, players get more points to invest in speed so the game is FASTER, stupid lowbrainers, everybody saying they want faster rounds, reduce tic to 30 mins and stuff like that impossible to implement without a new server

reduce tic = increase speed, increase research, etc...   do you get it???

in facto, if you get the actual numbers for any race and multiply by 10 then your tics will be 10x faster, nothing changes, not at all, only maybe...the game is boosted!!

do you get it now? do I have to explain it deeper?
