I'm in and winning allready

We have been whining about never ending explophase all round... and then they extend it :S

Systems: 1019 (last round 1724)

No they dont...

I honestly do wonder how detached the mods are from playing...

The whole passive aspect of last round is due to way way way too many planets available. And now it's been made worse all over.

*sigh

noir X(

Hmmm yeah we try to have a 3 wk expo-phase in a 8 wk round

12 fams / 10 members / 8 expo's a day / 3wks = max 20160 planets

20160 / 22 (avarage planets per system) = 916 systems

MW does have ; Systems: 1019 (last round 1724) hence 22418 planets

a max avarage core in 3 wks from (10x8x21) 76 systems per fam

and 103 systems , 2266 planets . where you all can fight over (maximum) the next 5 wks

With the universal changes, we do not know for sure what players will play where in what galaxy.

sofar its a trial and we can adapt it better next rounds

*note its "when" all fams are filled to the max and "when" all fams are active enough to max their expoos.

Yeah   depends on the activity a lot too offcourse but last round with a wider playerbase we tried allready to get closer to that 3 wk expo phase  we didnt make it tho  hopefully this round we get even more closer with the new playerbase for mw. its not on the edge of it yet but closer then last round with that rounds activity

Keep in mind no fam builds 8 explo's a day per fam member for a couple days as well. Given possibly low activity in some fams, or poor start strats, you'll likely end up with an explo phase stretching well past half way the round.

I remember the early days where explo phase lasted 2 weeks, and then it was 2 months of wars and fighting. Explo phase just isn't the most exciting part of the round, imo.

Why not halve the amount of planets per sytems? Could even go crazy and have a couple planets per system appear 5 weeks into the round or something ;p

gotta say 47 is gonna win.

Get more places in MW cause there obvously are still people wanting to join.  Get more spots in a fam or make more fams and give us allies! Come on mods...

I hope theres less than 5 ghost spots because if there aren't theres gonna be 5 out of 12 fams with a 10% disadvantage = fail.

right now there are only 40 players in PW, and some of them probably want to join MW.  can't mods delay SOR and reset both gals so that they  actually account for the interest shown in both gals?  for example, you can make PW fams smaller so there is still a decent number of fams.  something like fams of 4 or 5.  as for MW, you can decrease the number of systems by at least 100 and make fams of 8 so there are a few more fams and less space between HSes of different fams.
