Topic: Galactic live news is dangerous

With galactic live news everyone now can see each planet taken.  It will be really dangerous that if intra fam attack also shown, or war between fam shown. Most people know that any planet taken will no defense except stationed. So anyone now must have stationed and will cost toooo much. War also exposed to vultures and other abusive action.

Thats all. I hope it will be changed.

yeps, intra fam attaks shouldnt be showed.
As for attaks during a war (offizially deklared), I think they should be showed as a summary, every 12 tiks or so, to avoid vultures jumpin' in

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

also the naps make check relations redundant?

Adds a little more danger to doing research jumps and passing, Keep it how it is.

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

I agree. I spoke about this with KT today and she redirected me to the forum. As there is already a post about it I will just give my opinion here.

The reason for the live news bar is to prevent shady actions. To me, the live news feed makes shady deals even more easy. Yes you can see that fams made a nap with each other and that you need to raise the danger level from green to orange. BUT... is that a part of the game? Do we want this transparency?

I think it is more value that you use your opps to find out that someone made a nap with a certain fam. If fam 1 makes a nap with fam 2, fam 3 should not be aware of this. It is part of the game. Fam 3 can use opps to figure out that fam 1 and fam 2 made a NAP. The whole thing of making a nap is to make your life easier and prepare to war someone. Giving this info for free makes it quite easy for fam 3 to prepare their defenses.

Further, player 1 and player 2 are fighting over some planets. Player 3 just watches the screen and sees what is happening with player 1 and player 2. He waits for his moment and with the info he gets from the news feed he prepares his fleets. Boom, where two dogs are fighting for a bone, a third dogs runs away with it.

People should not know this information. We are barely allowed to report stuff like this in #mod and #general (at least in the older days). Doing so gave a ban and shizzle like that.

The news feed opens the door for shady deals, it does not close it. It makes more clear what is going on in the universe. That is the job of the wizards and the agents. Not the game itself.

The news feed should give information on who logs on. What kind of event is going on like market strikes. Not who is fighting who, who made an alliance with who and who made a nap with someone. It is wrong imo.

Do not make the game easier then it is. 

Just my 50 cents on the news feed.

You have claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

The news feed is an interesting addition and goes right along with the simplification of the entire galaxy. In the old days, your map did not highlight all the systems of any family, nor show unexplored planets, etc. Now it does. Are these changes necessarily good? Well, they make it easier for people to play the game with lesser effort. Trying to sneak into any specific area of the map is definitely a more difficult task. And that is all I have to say about that.

Do I hear some Donuts Rumbling?

Kompletely agreed, nothing else to say.

The live news should be only showed after you suzzesfully perform a operation, maybe modify "zhek relations" to "universal news" that allow you to read what happened in the universe in the last 48h

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

aktually, I'm moving this to ideas

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

there used to be a yearly update on who did most attack and what fam grew the most in nw and things but i agree this shit is dangerous and it makes you wanna find out who they attacked and you can either deside to attack the same player that is dead or attack the attackers planets after he took tehm...

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

Re: Galactic live news is dangerous

if its dangerous then concealment or discovery should be an ingame action


like if you pay enough the invasion will be attributed to House Harkonnen  tongue

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Ha Ha @ The Yell!! Back in the olden days weren't all invasions attributed to House Harkonnen? wink
