Ok, I see one problem- top twenty annihilating the researchers. If they get good attack chance, no-one will research, out of fear. If the chance remains as it is, it will get abused. Neither is fair.

This whole thread is a pointless exercise imo. I'll qualify that statement below.

If you want to reset power every so often, then play SO Main.

Any suggestion that turns SO Wars into more of an real time game as opposed to a turn based one, I am ardently against. Introducing D-Day type mechanics that have 24 hour timers are patently ludicrous, for a perpetual turn based strategy game

In fact take this whole thread and move it to the "We would like to start another server with these rules" section.

If people want to mix it up at the low and mid power ranges, by all means go right ahead. If people want to stop their trifling minor wars, band together and bring the fight to the top rankers, then by all means go ahead. If you want to play alts and mutually destroy each other in the mid power ranges, again, that is your choice.

If you want to introduce some arbitrary mechanic to the game that destroys my years (Well So War is almost exactly 1 years old) of hard work, then, quite frankly, no. But years, yes because alot of us played So Main before So Wars and we did not like it, because it reset.

Change is not always for the better, and some ideas just need to be discarded. This idea is not for SO Wars I am afraid.

" it is pretty much impossible for me to grow at all. its very simple for the people with loads of cash to take a big chunk of my segments everytime i go over 1/2 a million segs. and the more powerful ships i put up to protect my self the huger my loss when uberpwnsraid me, and i cant earn decent interest on my extra cash because somehow by some un-effin-believable stretch of imagination, my bank account is somehow dictated by my # of workers. on the up side, it has been a bit harder for people to raid my base. basically all i can do is hoard my 2% and hope i make enough to replace ships at a faster rate than i lose them. so far i have been breaking even. i haven't grown 1%." (please don mention stabilizers at 32 a player 10 times my power 0'd me in 1 shot.)

 Because of that i think a new server with new ideas is good. HOWEVER no nebula/sight blocker is ridiculous, you would be farmed out in a heart beat with every player lining up to take their three free attacks.
