since the wars server has been going on for a while, new players start off WAAAAY behind even something like rank 100. maybe if new players started with like 10 bil and maybe 10k segs that would help them catch up and keep them interested. the wars server is losing players rapidly. at least 2 of the former top 30 recently (within a month of so) have stopped playing and are now being farmed.

i would argue give them even more then that jessie... how does 100k segs bout 10 bil creds and something like 5k cp and extra turns sound? it is impossible for new players to catch up technologically given the turn constant... at least this will let them get a start on some commander skills/bas techs.

actually thats the whole point right? more cannon fodder that is. i mean this is a war server.. but it seem u can only compete if you were here from the get go, still care AND do okay as a player. all in all that leaves a little under 30 ppl. maybe... if there is some more action and a little faster growth at the lower end... more new players will stick around to at least make it to the middle rankings.

thats what im hinting towards  wars server needs MORE PLAYERS most of the people that join are fresh from wherever they live and have never played main server. surprising, many of these new players have been doing very well. stupidyankeee for example got 500k segs in 2-3 weeks. that could rival Ady at his best if stupidyankeee had a bigger start, he would be higher than he is now, and have station or planet tech - which leads me to a new problem its basically pointless for new players to get station tech. it would take them mroe than its worth to get good cloaking. stations are a major part of the game for bonuses and later on enough resources for planets. anyone have any ideas of how we could deal with this? |

I have been saying that for awhile. Help the new players with bonuses to accelerate their growth by keeping some good items at only lower encrypt ranks. Also a range for encrypts a person can do. -25% of the max encrypt level u can do, so that people like me, with encrypt rating at almost 2000, i wont be able to do anything less than lvl 1500. Also, newbies are getting creamed by alts of higher players. I myself was guilty of such until i realize, I am just killing the game. We need new blood because wars is bleeding out. I sell my credit items, seg items to new players just to help them grow. In the end, they get killed by alts of people in the Mid-Tier then give up. Come on people. You want more people to play?...give them a chance to grow first before u level them with your alts.  |

i challenge your alt to a duel with my alt, but i totally agree, maybe 5k cp is a bit much, but without a doubt at least 10 bil creds and at least 50-100k segs

I would be in favor of giving them maybe even more then 5k CP, you cant trade CP so you cant boost your other accounts with it  |

heres my suggestions:
20 bil creds
15k segs
level 5 stabilizer tech (not much but it would help)
level 1-3 cloaking (yet to be decided)
10 bil workers
5k cp
10k turns (most will be used to extend mothership at a low level)

it would be better if new players had around level 4-5 cloaking... just so it wouldnt be unfair for most of the other players who workerd so hard to get scanners up high enough to start destroying stations
