Now there is some action involved xD ...!!!
i like it :-P but pie cant make this...
Maybe a IA in the game fighting against the big guys..?

Comes back on the active people and having active fams..
some of you guys play this game from 2000....
start stop start stop or play during all the years :-)..

no clue what to do with the people who actually have a life in IC.. and do their best to succeed ingame..?

make something else? rankings...?

Noobs play with noobs Intermidiate play with intermidiate? and Elite play with elite

Instead of splitting top fams. Why not join bottom fams. Fam would get multiple hs, but than at least you can aid someone to with equal resources.

Why not?  The game has an active admin now, we should take advantage of it. . Nothing is impossible.

The most practical thing I'm seeing is a change in how portals work.  LiGhTGuNs's idea about having DS be a fam portal is really intriguing.

To be honest, I think portals are a huge part of why the game gets so boring.  It makes it too easy to be lazy once you have enough infra to support 100% portals and a decent fleet.

These are all great ideas; this is the kinda stuff I'm talking about.  We can do anything, there's no reason to feel like we can't shake things up a little bit.

oh lord more changes can u guys let one change adjust althought this current setup is a fail plz dont rush into another stupid setup

Can we have one traditional galaxy and another one to test these changes?  MW is mental torture right now lol .... 4-5 weeks of doing nothing but infra whoring is not fun.

i dunno but i think these test need to be done outside of mw.. all these changes are stressful and really killing the player pool even more.. this drastic change when pie first got IC cut deep in the remaining player pool but shit is just torture.. taking the game we loved and ur just having sport with changes without even testing them first.. they all suck and the new map layout sucks and the hq layout sucks.. not trying to crap on anyones work but it all sucks

is their a end.. mmmm no.. not until shit is actually fixed.. people are being blinded just by the fact someone wants to try and make the game better they are ignoring the fast movements of implentments that are not properly tested before their thrown into the main galaxy

yup only if lol.. like i've actually played this round nothing about this is fun really its boring almost right from the start..

pie i love u buddy i really do.. and none of this is ment towards u at all u know this.. and very true i may be lookin at this from a old vet sorta way.. but look at the game inside before u look at it outside.. inside.. their is a shit ton less wars nobody even fights anymore u've shorten the pcount so much u would think more fights would happen but instead its early small skirmishes if that and NAPs and that shit is super lame nobody even bothers really warring.. its nothing but eco.. i wish it was a way to split up skill and activity but their isnt a successful way.. u did a good job shutting down multiple galaxies as u see now u have players waiting to join.. i personally think systems planet size is wayy too small.. but thats just my opinion.. i wish its something i would love to talk to u about.. i hate that i sound so negative when im not really trying to be negative just lookin at how the game has changed so much drastically i dont even recognize it anymore.. their is no challenge in the game.. and families are too small even with the pcount to even make a sort of come back.. atm im in mw or whateva the gal is called (yes i know i dont even know the name of the galaxy lol) im currently in the 2nd ranked fam as playboy.. so im not doing bad but i honestly dont like it.. i didnt think i would take this round seriously so it could be my fault as well.. but tbh im addicted to IC i just hate wasting my time with stuff i dont like and i think instead of complaining about what i dont like i should be giving u ideas on what u could change and fix and debate with u why some of ur changes arent good ideas.. so when u get a chance pie lets talk.. seriously..

I agree with some of the words i have read, with some i have not, this round is (mouthfartsounds).

Agree gal is too small, its not big enough to secure a core then get naps and have cancel wars outside your core and all the fights happen too early with everyone on top of each other, make me send a 10 tik fleet to clear a neutral area planet

I havent played since the 5 man draft round, the small size worked for that gal, that round was chaos, just the IA broke it, we all kinda took the piss and allied too much , but if not for the IA that would have been a spectacular round, imo, but it doesnt really work with less fams.

so, i believe if you are gunna make 1 change for next round, give us a bigger gal, like twice the size maybe even half the starting res. people mock Imperial infra, but it can be just as much fun as fighting, give us time and space to play that game too pieface.

figured i'd make words since others did too......:/

You guys all have some good points, even ICD.  As always, feedback is going to be considered as we prep the next round.

ICD, there's no need for a private conversation.  Anything that can be said about the game is welcome to be done in a public setting.

I appreciate your willingness to give your perspective, but if you're serious about wanting to have a meaningful conversation then you might want to consider not making so many assumptions all the time.  For example:

You're assuming I'm not doing this and haven't played a few rounds as admin specifically for the purpose of understanding what the game is like for a casual player.  But the game isn't working how you want it to, so you assume I'm only looking at it from the "outside".  That’d be like if I told you “Hey ICD, I appreciate your ideas but you should play a few rounds first then maybe you’ll understand how the game works.”  Pretty annoying, right?

Statements like these make it incredibly difficult to have faith in anything that you say, which is a shame because you actually do have some good points when you’re not bitching or making obnoxious assumptions.

Then don’t be.  Practically ever other player in this thread is able to talk about the round’s problems without sounding so negative about everything.  I would love to hear your opinions and get your insight, but if you’re just going to tell me how much “everything sucks” then I’ll go ahead and pass.

Again, there’s no need for a private conversation.  We’re all equals here; if you’ve got something to say let’s hear it.  The Ideas Forum and
The Feedback Forum are awaiting your insight, vet.

You gonna show us what you got or leave us hangin?
