Topic: The Next Great Idea!

The next great idea!

Dom dom.dom!

How come we dont have an icon symbol in the Family News to show which planets are retakes and or planets in conflict that that have recently been in conflict the last 24 hours or whatever everyone thinks is a fair amount of time.

How many people look at the fam news and are confused when looking at all the coords? get confused on which planet that certain fam member has been fighting and having a hard time invading. You check, only to find you have a portal that is a couple ticks away. You send your fleet of figs for a fig run. You wakeup 2am, your eyes barely open... Www.imperialconflict.com....damn lag, login, comes to an hq screen where they let you play in 2 galaxies instead of 1. remembers when they used to only let you play in one gal unless you had VIP to play in Draco. About damn time you think.. Attack and DRAW! the enemy has stationed his figs, luckily, you are a banker and has a pwnage amount of soldiers and another fleet of elite figs that have No Fear, hit! SUCCESS!.you crush the enemy with your army.

Now imagine how much easier a Conflict symbol would make this look? Visually appealing. seeing those loads of attacks and defense symbols, outdated at that, make it visually hard to see which planets you can help retake.

Im confidnt that we need a symbol to show something of this nature in that family news. It has so much potential to the player, it would be a bad idea if you DIDNT put this in the game!

Now I want tag points!

Re: The Next Great Idea!

not sure if I understand this, all the lost planets are retakes so it makes no difference according to ur idea ... hmm how can you make the program differ a planet you consider a retake from a planet you dont consider a retake ???

I think you must explain it better, or I need a beer

Re: The Next Great Idea!

One symbol that shows that a planet has been attacked but never retook in the last year, on the fam news

Player A gets attacked and loses. Now shows up as a giant R. When retakin, the planet goes into a defeat symbol, that way if you look back on fam news, you can see which planet has been attacked and never retaken, if it was retakin, it will just show a defeat sign.

Or a conflict sign, or something

/beer


so...you say planets not retaken advance from one IC year to the next IC year, hmmm I dont think that's possible, it'd mess with all the stuff at silenz.org, and it also has a lot of problems when you have to pay comp planets, your fam news at the end of the round will be a bunch of lost planets from previous years...

or I need another beer tongue

Re: The Next Great Idea!

you need another beer.

fam news will show most recent loss that was not retaken as a GIANT "R" then when it has been retaken, it will just be a regular defeat sign....

Re: The Next Great Idea!

lmao. It's a great idea. Render is drunk.

It sounds fairly hard to do though. Wouldn't the fam news need to calc that every single time you opened the page? (whether or not the planet was retaken that is.) I'm not a programmer so I don't know.

Great Idea though. Tag points!

Is that a NAP I saw you make? Time to break it!

Re: The Next Great Idea!

well, im just a player with an idea, not the programmer haha, id imagine it would be hard to do, seeing how it can change, or atleast refresh it every tick, that way its not a huge load on a the system

Re: The Next Great Idea!

An integrated retake manager would be pretty nice. Would make life easier anyway. It should be able to include the last year with the current year anyway since the game tracks that. Maybe make it separate from the family news page so things wouldn't be too cluttered.

Re: The Next Great Idea!

It's a good idea, however it takes some of the strategy and planning away from doing retakes and trying to clear possible portals.

Re: The Next Great Idea!

not really any strategy. at this point i just click to see lost planets and hey look, they have been retaken. waste of time if you ask me, i go clicking every lost planet, but if a planet has been retaken, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, it would save alot of headache.
