why do u lose points anyway when u kick out an inactive. that never made sense to me to begin with :S

ive always thought

smaller fams / bigger galaxy / less systems would be good change

I liked the gal, no need for a change..

Zomg first post i ever see by svarto that slot stealing bastard!!!!!!

Anyways i agree with PP, when i look at mapgen at start of this round there was one thing that hit me, and that was, zomg its gonna be impossible to settle anywhere outside of the core. The map was so extremely homogenous, systems and families spread so evenly that there was no sesible area to set up outposts etc, only a few fams had really good start locations (1431 struck me as the best). Id say bigger galaxy really, bigger distances, more interesting clusters etc. Just reduce planets pr system to keep planetcount lower.

i agree with listos who agrees with noir who agrees with PP who doesnt agree with mods

[I can't add something useful to this post ]

Actually there were spots for outposts, but it seems to be never good enough. Finally there is a gal where 2 HS are never within 2 ticks, now they are too evenly spread so you cant make enough outposts..

Capri was fine, there were spots for outposts, like a big one in the area around 24,73, or around the center of the gal. They were maybe a lil more hidden, but a failure to see them is not the galaxy's fault, its the player's

Zidi in 31 we werre surrounded by alot of top 15 fams early on. we hit 45 5th day of roudn who were 1st in nw/size/score at the time and then we were about to hit 27 of which with dimpel in there decided not to. it would of been 2 top 12 fams we hit in 1st 7 days. We also got into a war with 46 soon afterwards as well as 15 and then 27/34 were threatening and god knows if we actually tried exploring out of our core 1st week of roudn what would of happened!. I think 45 was 4 camaar ticks hs to hs from us?. i really forget, but I know our camaars were 2-3 ticks from their planets np. 1st peeps to make trans and the other fam not to and u get r winner.

its always been size wins, so why shouldent size matter more? if they can come up with a system where nw means more 1st 4 weeks of round and then size means more last 4 weeks of round that be ideal.

This thread has been tainted.

Carry on.

i think thise score system should go on 3th place.

when you go to fam page show nw first and when you want to see fams score or planets size you need to look for it your self.

score is fun but its not really making a clear winner. its all about who has the best infra in start and than its hard to get over that. thats why 36 is still that high. they are already inactive for over 2 weeks doing nothing but they builded there score in start of round with there strong infra.

so skip the score parts

For me the fam with the most planets is the winner, the game is first and foremost about attacking and taking planets, of course building nw is very important but without the right amount of planets there's only but so much nw you can build, Gaining real estate should be everyone's first goal that's why we all say build those e-ships 6 a day.:)

to be honest, i really like bigger galaxy with exploration being endless because it helped small fams a chance to regrow again after wars and also helped most of fams to sneak in core and do some interesting fighting

some players disagreed with me on this one  so that's okay :-)

Making the gal bigger is not fixing the honour in this game, its running away from it, because its easier to explore than to attack small fams.
