A Random Idea

[Lammalord]

heres an idea, i was wondering when something isnt being tested, how about every once in a while do something to let people enjoy themselves useing the test server, AKA one were everyone gets like 1 mil segs, 5k turns or so.. and like 10 quad, as a free for all (only PvP) kind of thing..

or well different things like that.. well only when there isnt something to be tested, keeping a high rank can get real hard sometimes.. and it may make people feal good if they had tons of money just to mess around with.. or well different things. mabey one were you have 10 bil, and only black holes. so you get to go around doing black holes and mission contacts.. or well. ya other "special" events like that when time permits...

Well you can use the 10 bil you receive to play, but it will be pretty hard to get new credits, due to the fact the is no interest and market, but you can conpete to see who can get higher.

well i know that, but i was saying when there isnt something to test, to give like tons of credits, or tons of something and have sort of like 48 hour special events, or stuff.. and well mabey even have a "game room" were it shows 1st 2nd and 3rd of the games... well not permently.. but ya i bet you would get tons of people to play if there was a setting PvP and 10 quad.. people would go crazy

And daily reset to not get used to it

[Lammalord]

ya use the test server on a free day for a 48 hour "dday status" 10 quad starting off PvP only thing lol, just to mess around

[Seither]

well, that's good, as long as you minus the #1 can attack #200 thing, as that would kinda stink, but since it's 48 hours, make like the last 12 hours a d-day senerio, so ppl have time to build rather then race to be the first to buy a ship of great power.

A space odyssey Death Match.  lol.  you could have it this way:
10 quad credits
no starting ship designs
50% attack defense hp bonus and marine capacity
20% accuracy and sheild bonus
25% cost reduction to ship resupply and marine supply
no missions, galaxy, market, secret base or reserves

then after 24 hours, the person with the most segments out of 1 million left is declared the winner.  if a tie, the person with highest power then wins. 

oh, and no way at all to gain segments, except to attack others.

-edit: lol, no ship designs at all, that would be rather hard to attack people then, 

[Lammalord]

ya well monkey good point 36 hours to get a defence then 12 hours of all out attack.. humm like i said its an idea, and all ideas can be improved..

and ars thats another good idea for something, see what i mean..  but only when the server isnt in use for other things.. i mean i know this will attact people to play, just to mess around.. thats good right?

yea, it'll also provide an escape for those who are fed up with the main game at points (such as now where it's pretty much impossible to do anything.) so they won't get bored and quit.

[Lammalord]

ya lol (looks for some scious relief by mindlessly attacking people on a non-ranked not noramal game set)
oh oh halo 

[Seither]

(is eagerly awaiting Sir Emi's responses on this and the Classic SO version, is hoping he likes both)

This would be fun though, 36 hours to prepare, 12 hours to annilate everything/one. Almost sounds like a hollywood movie that's not a remake!

make it like round 1 

[Seither]

for this one yea, that would work. For Classic SO,r ound 3 would be better, but that's covered in suggestions.

[Spayed]

i like the idea, and it culd also give players that r lower in the ranks 2 learn a few thigns and get the feel of the game a bit better

[Lammalord]

ya lol were loseing a ship dosent really matter that much lol
