Encounters update

[PDJ]

OK I'm at rank ~30.
Spent >1000 turns exploring all the quadrants in the 2 south rows => Zilch, zero, nothing in the 5 - 100 billion range!!

It used to be possible to have fun and get an advantage by doing the galaxy. The upper limit is a "baby safe" (If you decide to send a 3 mill fleet against a 4 quad fleet it's your kettle of fish) or an attempt at limiting the "combing" for encounters by alts and lower alliance members.

 :21:Hey Emi what about changing the system so there's an absolute (not percentual) lower limit, your lower limit equals the Fleet Power of yr rank +10, 20 or 30 ranks depending on the "level" of the commander. And your upper limit could be "Rank +10", restricting/limiting but not eliminating the exploration Item (say I've spent 1000 turns looking for encounters and find one I can't do, should I be able to profit by "selling"/trading or donating the info to a friend or not?) The percentual approach is fine for the average +/- 2 SD commanders but the outliers have serious trouble.

That would give broni et al a chance at some encounters. Meaning that you're not restricting availabilty that badly, whilst maintaining availabilty for the small and middle fish.
Cheers Emi,
PDJ

well I like that part of not being able to see all the lower encounters. however, there should be a like ratio of encounters at all levels.  IE x encounters avalible per commander per power level based on the average # of commanders in a giveing power level.

even i think this is crap, i use all of my turns opn galaxy and if im lucky i will onli find one encounter more then 10% my power every day, now its more then likely that i will never find anything i cna do, i agree that the necounters size nad numbers shuld b increaced by stleast x5 and x10 wuld b better, im not even in the top 10 and i struggle 2 get anything

well this encounters system sucks ...

Sir E ... even at the old encounter system I only did find a few max benefit. encounters a day, most where pretty small ones for me with this "upgrade" galaxy becomes virtual useless to me - atm it really looks like u get punished for getting to top rank, interrests down, workers die, no encounters to be found in galaxy anymore and encryption still sucks at 76% E-lvl ... - what should I say more - oh I forgot this stash problem I meanwhile also have so old style missions are impossible for me now 2 ...

so pls tell me what I should do now ... - I can reserve all my fleets ... - ah no I can t due to my stash ... - so only I can do atm is delate my account and maybe start a new one ...

or I go and burn my turns on just training the cdr at 5 turns for 1 exp ... - also useless at cdr lvl 1026 ...

sorry for being ironical ...

I think this is great, no encounters to do, oh well life will go on, but hey at least i didnt cuss and use crude language about it, Get a life guys and just let emi know whats happening instead of the language, or have you forgotten that young kids come in to play this game as well   

[Lammalord]

are you being sarcastic there?

but broni dose have the right words, it dose really suck.. good job with taking a great update and buring it to the ground with more "updates" to it witch i seem to really consider "downgrades"

dear darkness, havent u noticed that theyr the biggest kids of em all? i mean, listen to all their whining n crying. its ok to be mad n such, but going bananas is going a lil too far. maybe if they tried to put it in a more mature way, like light n frank, more ppl would listen n care.

sry for doubleposting, im on a buggy comp in school

[TheDarkness]

Well the only way Emi will know whether his upgrades are working is if we let him know, but screaming and cussing about them does not help, constructive criticism is a much better way to go, Rome wasnt built in a day and neither will this game get better instantly, I myself am not happy about the update as it makes the galaxy a less viable option to use in this game, and i use the galaxy a lot, with so many players in this game now it will take time for one man to get everything right at first attempt in theory this was a great idea unfortunately it had a negative effect on higher powered players, i'm sure it will be fixed soon 

[chicpea]

It's funny how u try and keep a site safe for kids from profanity being used yet 9 times out of 10 its the kids doing it. Kinda makes u think why bother, let the lil bratts use the language as it just shows they have no respect for others.

I miss the galaxy sob sniff  . Bring it back Emi.

Encounter respawn rate increased 5 x times, and max encounters increased by 2 x times

[Soppe]

ur experiencing what us lower guys did all the time. u stole our encounters so that we didnt get nuts, did u hear us whine? no, its always been u bigger guys wanting even more. i remember when some1 was saying missions was too hard, and u said "stop whining". uve been whining about almost everything else... hypocrit top 10 bastards...

[Spayed]

emi wot about the the encounters u can do, is the 10% of ur power thing still there?

[Lammalord]

dose that just mean that they jump around even more, and the chances of having one land near you is still little (a little more).. but to what i see at this points its best to stay on one star and wait for it to come to you

[SirEmi]

increased the max encounters again, after checking the encounters table, the

top 2 commanders have around 50-70 enc available
top 10 -> 200-300
top 100 -> 500
top 200 -> 300
rest, over 8 mil power -> 500
