Title: SO Elite new rounds change to 14 days Post by: SirEmi on February 19, 2013, 02:28:57 PM Congratulations to the winners of the last SO Elite round!
For the new round, there will be some changes to make Elite server more interesting and well, more Elite :) The rounds will have 14 days, DDAY warning will start on day 13, so total round time will be 14 days + 1 day of DDAY. The extra day for DDAY will make sure the round ends in different week days. Prizes for top 10 every two weeks: Gold days: 60, 30, 30, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14 Other changes: - less salvage from PvP for defender and some other changes discussed to make it harder Title: Re: SO Elite new rounds change to 14 days Post by: Comatose on February 20, 2013, 09:23:36 AM 14 gold days isnt a reward... thats only 1 round... regardless of how few people play.

Title: Re: SO Elite new rounds change to 14 days Post by: Comatose on February 21, 2013, 01:05:18 PM I might as well throw my suggestions here. Blitz round, right?
Make missions player specific, so each person has their own pool. Remove segment missions. Double the amount of available missions. 1 hour spawn tick, so all missions replenish often. x5 or x10 experience gained doing anything. Start players off with a 10-20% discount. Reduce chance of ships exploding in board attacks. Remove turn amount cap, and any new players get the amount of turns that'd be normally gained by a player across the round -10%. Possibily make it x2 turn growth like borg suggested ages ago (for all you math wiz's out there, that's 2 turns a minute). Make maximum fleets allowed to be out 10 or less perhaps (removes completely pshipping up), not allowed to reserve with a counter on you. Fix the bug that reserving fleets gives you more total assets. Title: Re: SO Elite new rounds change to 14 days Post by: Cpt. Relentless on February 21, 2013, 02:39:59 PM Those, my friend, are some very good suggestions and I back them 100%. However, I'm new to elite so my opinion isn't as developed as some :P

selfish. :4: Title: Re: SO Elite new rounds change to 14 days Post by: V on February 21, 2013, 04:27:53 PM If it's blitz, we should get more turns and XP, I agree. I don't mind the amount of missions there are now. I like the way that is actually.
