Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

Can you mods put just 400 systems and problem solved.
Now if you look in the map it seems that all planets are one tickers for any race.
It is a bit strange.
last round was boring...

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

Arsy used the same system we have now. With a larger player pool and activity, size wasn't a big issue. Now it's trying to find the proper balance to sustain growth, activity, and competitiveness in a galaxy. Pinwheel is more difficult than milky way for this.

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

What size was the map last round? 80x80?

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

I disagree with the  fam size, my fam had 3 actives all round (88).  Anyone who did join after killing the inactive, just deleted and tried for a more active one.  If more fams have an equal amount of actives rather then just the top few how does it hurt?  There were like 64 players by Eor who where "active".  How does that make 96, so like 5 actives a fam (if it was spread out) .  At least shrink the size some and allow the bottom to compete. Smaller fams lets fams with less active members have a chance to survive and not ruin 1/2 the gal round imo.  Also more fans equals more possible conflicts as people have targets they can war.  Oh we'll commence to destroying the fams with only a few actives and infra whoring again I suppose.

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

86 ended 1 and 3 in rankings and we had 4-5 players only for most of the round.  So the idea that going to smaller families and that a fam getting stuck with 2-3 inactives will kill them is exaggerated.  It's only PW

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

The only time having less active players will hurt families is the very start of the round, when small nw can make a huge difference. Now if there is a family with three players they can never compete against the two or three lucky families that have 8 active players, whereas if it was limited to 6 people per family then they have more of a chance.

Also, all I'm suggesting is to reduce the amount of players to 6 or 7 but to keep the amount of families at 12.

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

I don't mind the map this round. Sure it's small and has a ton of systems. But I can see a number of ways this can promote attacking for fams that want to and infraing for fams that can't attack. Idk give it a go guys and next round we can make changes but lets discuss it while this round is going. Give time for discussion.

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

I like the map size too, a few less systems and 7 people per fam and it would be perfect. smile

Re: ~~Pinwheel 74 pVc!~~

what about if there were less plts per system?

That's the real problem, SoR decides the future of the gal, so many fams with inactives will go SS or go on a defensive strat, and they're marked to be farmed in the 2nd half of the round, it always happens.
With a player pool we make sure every fam has an ezperienced leader and at least 3 active members, so chances are equal at SoR, and with only 60 players around this pool is damn easy to do.

I think 5 players is the right number for PW, lets face it, we are a pack, so big map is not an option anymore. Wethere we like it or not, we have to reduce, reduce and reduce
