Re: 1 man normal galaxy

It could also attract older players back because they wouldn't need to be active for the entire family, people can just get on when they want and build. Maybe start with a few DS, or make it so your planets in your home system are safe so if people want they can just build up and relax. While watching all the people who are active duke it out. Sounds like a lot of fun imo

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

I would want to be able to play both MW (or PW) and the single empire gal personally. It is something I would even buy a VIP for.

I love playing with families, and the past few rounds I have been with the best group ever, but playing solo is so much more relaxing.

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

It's such a different dynamic to go from having 10+ people depending on you to do something (which is how all top fams are structured with fam banks and such) to just being able to wing it by yourself.

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

Well, personally I think that it should exist alongside MW and PW. I'll leave it up to the mods to decide whether you would be allowed to play in this new galaxy and in one of the older galaxies at the same time or not. (unless you are a vip)

However, maybe it would be an idea to allow everyone to join this new galaxy the first round (regardless of what other galaxies they're in), just to get some feedback on what players think of the new galaxy.

Based on that feedback, mods can then decide how to proceed with the new galaxy.

Call it Andro smile
And yes, I'd buy a vip for this.

*edit*
Or make it so either you play HC or you play normal

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

Similiar type of rounds have been done but in hardcore.  You normally get like 80 joining and only 40 even playing.  It's a waste.

Also, people don't quit because they are called noobs and stuff, People quit because the game is bad.

You have now been infected with Bird flu. Good day.

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

The whole idea is that it wouldn't be hardcore however. A hardcore round simply requires high activity if you want a shot a winning. Not everyone can or wants to put so much time in an online game.

Also, we see inactivity in pretty much every galaxy. In this case, inactivity means that it doesn't have an impact on an entire group of players.

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

I would open it to more then 100 people. With a healthy dose of mods to check for multi accounts (especially if there is an open market)

Good point, maybe no open market to reduce the amount of multis

To be fair, the recent Knockout style round in Orion has brought discussion of variety back to the team.  If any time is a good one to consider something like this, it's probably now.

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

I like candy. Do you have a nice van you keep it in?

Modestus Experitus

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: 1 man normal galaxy

Anyway, back on topic:

Another advantage compared to the hc version would be the time needed to invest in the game. Normal galaxies require less time than hc gals, simply cause you cant get killed off.

My point of view:the
I am active during the week. But weekends i spend with my family - two daughters and wife. So peaplo who have children know what kind of HC I have.  Everything starts at dady dady dady and so on.. You can't be ill or in bad mood ect.People who have children know  situation. My wife is always inching "Can you take holiday or something from your IC".
How many good players quit game because of wifes? ( I don't mean kill all wifes)
People who have families - missle (gone), cloud?, me, whitelightening, and i bet at least hundred more.
Another thing - we started the war with one fam... the situation - one man have 200 another 70 and another 70.
One of these 70 planets holders don't even portal up so i sended bombers to kill his lasers and 1 transport and 2 droids.
the result i don't think apples will be playing this game any more.
My vote is for relaxing galaxy and I don't really care is it along with MW/PW or not.

Noobs will learn more and go to MW/PW galaxies.
Seniors will enjoy and remember good times.

If there will be good spread out more people will start play this game.


Yea i know impire had an idea along those lines too. A nice laid back galaxy where people can participate but not have to worry about being super active and stuff. It might bring back some of the old player base just to socialize and in turn might get some people back into playing in the regular galaxies.

Re: 1 man normal galaxy

i really like this idea and tbh this would keep me playing as i only came back for the solo round, not because of the HC part. but as to keep MW and PW alive i would suggest not replacing or forcing players to choose between galaxies, as it is a solo fam round they would have a lot more control over when and where they war unlike big family rounds such as the current MW
