I don't think it's a good idea because if you sleep about 9 hours, that is 18 ticks missed..... a lot can happen in that time. lol And it makes the game about activity rather than skill; even more so than it is now. Also, it will mean you must log on more often making the game less appealing to new players(if any happen to come by) who are not expecting to spend their entire day on this game.

Old idea is old.

Main points against this are;
- This isn't Ectroverse.
- This isn't meant to be a fast paced game.
- The larger and more active fams will have a larger PC & NW spread on everyone else and the smaller and less active fams will be at a disadvantage by not being able to utilize all the ticks that they'll miss.
- Most people play IC because they don't have the time to play a faster paced game.
- There will be greater confusion as to what time buildings/fleets come in, or naps are canceled, etc.
- Go play Ectroverse.

how about we counter this idea and make ticks 2 hours instead of 1

>if you sleep about 9 hours

IC pros don't sleep

@alpha5
