Well Emi, ill start by saying test server is awesome. Not mainly oyu get to test stuff out, but because you can attack people with no regard to long term effects or anyhting of that matter since its all for fun, adn dont have to worry aobut alliance wars or anything, or doign missions. What im gonna suggest is make scheduled deathmatches lasting a few hours using something very similar to the test server, or eve nthe test server if oyu wanted too. only small changes would have to be that commadner stats from main accoutn arent imported, but there would be a set goal, like most segments at end, highest power at end, most credits at end, etc. and could run for a few hours with evry1 starting out at perhaps 1tril credits, 10k turns and lvl 100 commander (with no CP used). Fro mthere it would just be all about fighting your way to teh top without worrying about spending hours on missions, and only way to make cash would be a few galaxy missions, but mainly hitting others (0 mariens = automatic destroyed ship would have to be taken otu though). Other games i play offer rewards for deathmatches (like paid accounts) but you wouldnt even need that a little award on forums would be good enoguh ,and more importantly i think a DM would be real fun to see who has best ship designs / short term strategies
either Free-For-All or alliances of 3-5 and I think it would be real cool. Well thats the generalities of my idea, but im sure others could expand on it, and i could think of more specifics too if emi ever wanted to implement it
