Seems people will never learn?

Cant have tri alliances with so few fams. If and IF ever ic recovers to 100 fams again in a gal then Id recomend tri alliances, but not now. it will only lead to 1 top alliance raping all others.
Also big gals are always the same, there too big, explore phase is too long and the big fams end up exploring all over the gal and raping small fams 1st as not taken a chance on the bigger fams since they can win the round by size by exploring and raping smaller fams. Dident need a trial run for this, it happened yrs ago all the time.
No idea why u want more drafts again either, too many drafts failed last time, keep it the way it is atm.

For yrs ic kept falling and falling in numbers and it was because of numerous things and now it seems that ic has atleast stoped falling and possibly evan turned a small corner to regaining a small amount of players and u all want to instantly go back to the way things were,so u can be right back to everyone leaving again? and this time it will happen faster because there are less players now then their was 4 yrs ago.

Things the way they are atm are just fine, keep adding things to the game as u been and do not add players to fams, do not make tri alliances, do not make round longer. It will all lead to disastor.

Change the system sizes to either random of 5-20 or a set size of 12, that be a cool change. Give a set amount of cores to all fams to help out the smaller fams from pure rape. SOmeone recomended 20, but thats horrible, as i said along time ago, do sometghing around 8 where no one but that fam can explore or attack in it. Try adding some differant units into the game, I still liked the Imperial guard that was stronger in defense, but was horrible in offense. Help the banker out a bit. Maybe have 1 gal where u can only use the main races and no custom races allowed. No need to have 3 gals with the same crap... If people want more vip features then given them 10 extra points for a custom race isent a bad idea.

Dont sit here and ruin the work the mods have done over the past 2 yrs by going back to the stone age.

Players are selfesh, they want things their way and they dont care about anything else, especially not about ic
