it's a hardcore gal, fighting can't be avoided anyway. I hope that what u mean with hardcore style atleast?

Rest of the setup should be as Gwyned says, makes sense  with a shorter tighter fighting round.

That was the philosophy behind 1 man fams.  To reduce the dependence on others.  But for variety's sake, we throw in a different type of round.  Also based on feedback of people wanting a team HC round again.

So yea, Supernova will take a break this round, and will be brought back at the conclusion of Orion - That's the plan atm.

That's the point, its our decision but everyone always whines that we get it wrong.  We try to guage it as best we can, its not an exact science.  We have no more information than you do.  I mean, why would we "know the numbers" ?

So yea, we're getting feedback for this, and letting the players decide on these parameters.

SN is way too big imo. not enough attacking im semi active and have barely hit anyone at all. for SN its either smaller gal or quicker to build eships to send them out.

for Orion i wouldnt say same size as SN, maybe abit smaller, but u have to remember since its HC fams will get killed off, so u dont want it too small so its not fun and the super active people just kill everyone off.

the map is SN is currently 120*120 with like 1750 systems.

i think it needs to be more around 100*100 with 1300 planets or so. somewhere in that range, i dont think u want it much bigger than that or else u wont see much attacking.

just do it! let them whine

at the end of the day you know the game better then anyone imo.

^that's the point, people should know ON is a battling galazzy, and whoever joins has no right to whine later bkause he kould not infrawhore.  Small map with strategikally distributed areas of klusters is the way to do it, but it always depends on how family HSs are plazed, so I think they should be plazed manually, not random, and then the players joining are randomly plazed on them.

I am not playing ON btw, takes too muzh time   but I predikt it will be fun

Good going modteam

Honestly ...we give you guys a Finger

Again, this all requires coding changes, which we can't do in such a short time or without further thought, etc.

Right now, just want feedback on the stats/parameters of the galaxy.

Seems like all the feedback is geared towards a small map, (fam numbers we have no idea, since i think no teams have signed up yet, so it'll be purely random, most likely - maybe 1-2 will come in still). 

What about attack delay? Market?  Any input?

SuperNova didn't even end yet. So hopefully some teams will still form.

With only 2 organized fams the round could go pretty crazy
I am not a fan of the attack delay.
If people want to fight the first couple of days then let them.
With the HC rules it even allows more active and faster growing people to clean out or benefit from smaller neighbouring families

I do like the market.
If there are only a couple of organized families then a market should give solo players a bit more chances.
But with no market you force people to work together in families. As I don't see 1 SS player win from a 3 player family.
So I guess I am a bit 2 sided on the market idea

And maybe, if there are below 10 teams, disable drafting.
Else the random joiners will be without a chance.

Last time there was a 3man HC, there was a 2 days attack delay and it was a disaster.
A couple of the organized fams basically portalled up in the noob fams cores and ate them up on day 3

No attack or market delay, small map, allow drafting (or many ppl wony play)

Hence the name Hard Core :>

Maybe regenerate the map a few times before opening the round, untill it got a decent amount of clusters and no obvious disadvantaged fam positions
