I don't see the problem actually.
This update just makes sure people won't lower down and attack players that are at 1 - 10% of their powers.
Why would you want to attack these players anyways?
This is just to 'bully', the reward is only that you might capture some low-credits-worth ships. Or gain some few mining recources.
You can still attack the players at 50% of your power with ease.
But go ahead and flame me as you will probably do.
As to Spayed, I am the only person who logs in on this account who uses it for the proper reasons.
I don't care if you tell players who I am, but we agreed to remain annonimous and HELP new players, so far I've seen you post 2 alliance board messages, and those weren't actually helpfull. Only thing you've done to use this account is to annoy me and tell players who I am.

My personal opinion on this matter is this:
I respect the fact that Emi is trying to protect people from being totally annihilated from a commander that is much stronger than they are. He does have good intentions and for that he should be praised. There should definitely be an update that reduces the severity of the "powering down" so that new players won't get hurt too badly. ABI/RV, although sometimes it might not seem that way, I can assure you that everyone do want new players to stay.
However, this particular update does more than just eliminate the "powering down" saga. Firstly, as Spayed has already mentioned, this update will mean that new players will have a harder time powering up. The cost of selling your tail to upgrade your main will be too small. Secondly, for individuals that are wanting to do some PVP with another individual at similar power, the only cost efficient way of attacking is with mains. Using boarder ships will be too expensive because it will be expensive to sell afterwards. This will also affect other combat strategies as well meaning combat will become one-dimensional and boring. Just fill up your mains with Marines and you probably don't even have to worry about pships.
Personally, just remove planets. Even though I love them because I can generate trillions and quad trillions of credits, they are one of the reasons why players power up so high and have so many credits. "Powering down" is actually a very expensive procedure especially if you are a high player. Depending on your power you have to put trillions and quad trillions of credits into reserve Marines and ships, then sell the ships afterwards. Even at 90% moneyback, it gets very very expensive. Fortunately, having a big planet will help with this.
So Emi should just remove planets.
In regards to the official training Alliance. Yes for this round so far you have been the only one who have posted stuff on the alliance chat. And by all means you should be congratulated for spending time in helping new players with questions. so congratulations and thank you
However, remember that for the past round our alliance members were the one that actually started the alliance and the one that help posted tons of stuff on the alliance chats. Also, this round we have been quite busy helping a lot of players with advance strategies both inside our alliance and outside. Also, NO ONE agreed to remain anonymous. YOU decided to remain anonymous but for an account that is controlled by multiple users, you can not decide this individually.
The reason why the username is called random vet is because too many experienced players were going to control it and we wanted a name that was fair and balanced. It has nothing to do with being anonymous. Having people know who controls the account can only help new players but you seem to think otherwise. I have seen you use the account on the public chats to show off and play the "mysterious player" game.but it does not matter any more since you have changed the password
