Topic: Identical Home Systems in SN

The varied # of planets in home handicapped some players. It's bad enough that the closet system to some players home system was 4 ticks (*grumbles*) but I'm also seeing players that only had 1 planet in their home system. Players that were able to instantly explore 3-7 planets in their hs got a solid infra advantage over players that couldn't. We can't make system distances universal, but can we make sure each home system has the same # of planets?

Re: Identical Home Systems in SN

Re: Identical Home Systems in SN

Yes my god, we should all have the same starting system size. I'd even argue that the planet bonus' be the same as well.

Re: Identical Home Systems in SN

I agree on the bonus on planets in hs being the same as well, all things being equal. I would pretty much like the mods to enforce IA rules. Most of these none skilled players have decided to play teams in nova taking away the ability of determining who is the true winner in this Galaxy. Go find another galaxy to team up in and keep that foolishness outta SN. It's literally a waste for me investing my time in this game if players are allowed to cheat like this in a single player galaxy.

Re: Identical Home Systems in SN

really nothing to enforce.. if u notice people cheating you report it, if its provable they are blocked if not, then deal with it...

NO IAS! it is ruining the game

Re: Identical Home Systems in SN

Instead of equal hs, why not diversify according to rank. Give best players a little handicap smile

Nr 1 size previous round: 1 planet hs no bonus
Nr 2 size previous round: 2 planet hs no bonus
Nr 3 size previous round: 3 planet hs no bonus
Nr 10 size: default setup

Supernova 27's Description is below:

No official families make this more of a solo experience. Unofficial Alliances however, are allowed.

It's a valid criticism that galaxies are better when UAs are disallowed.  It is not however valid that it is "cheating".  There are no UA rules to enforce in SN27 as it is not against the rules there.

@Lightguns: that's an interesting idea.  A "master account" ranking is under consideration for other reasons, but that would be a great use for it.

ID agree with this, it's a great idea to even more evenly match the start up. Great idea!

Than don't IA, and encourage others not to.

Re: Identical Home Systems in SN

The problem with that is that, when two persons start to team up on you, you are pretty much forced into ia to counter.
