Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

seeing as this is a wars server, i think there should be more kinda of attacks and bonuses for attack, like ehh (besides items)
- suprise attack: decreases chances of warping away
- suicide mission: increase attack by _%
- board attack: Increase marine effectiveness by _%
- Steal segs: 2x the amount of segs gained
- counter: % of warping decreased by 1/2(automatic)

and a buch of other stuff like that basically promoting attacks and allowing counter to be made even on those made on top ten people by commanders with 1076% smaller fleets. [and you can stack other a items onto those bonuses.]

i do think that on a counter their chances of warping should be cut in half

I don't think giving people more advantages with counters will encourage PvP.

well, thats a suggestion, what about the others, and do you guys thing things need to be changed???

i really dont think a less chance of warping is an advantage for the person who just got attacked.. because in wars someone has to put a pretty good attack on to leave a sig now

Well you get to attack someone about once a month by the time you find someone and they don't warp away to begin with, so may as well go all out.

Counters should be removed entirely in my opinion.

well, how about this... to make the tech bonuses more useful, all warp chances are dropped by 25% even the ones that have a 95 % chance of warping. why?? because this a WAR server. you should be able to attack some one the same power as you with out them haveing any chance of warping. otherwise, your better off just having attacks back to when you click on the rankings to attack someone. at least youll get more attacks.

also counters should remain and have some sort of advantage to it. the current one where you can attack through nebs ia alright, but seeing as we are playing in a war sever it should have another advantage.

the advantage of an attack is you get the element of surprise with multiple attacks if your lucky... and setting up a defence for his/ her counter.

A counter with no chance of warping is fine with me ... The other suggested improvements would make counters too powerful.

Gives the top guys a chance to squash all the alts that keep pecking us.

how about if you get attacked and lose anyships at all... even if its just powerships and they fail the attack you get a counter with regular chances of warping.... and if you get attacked and they make a successful attack you get a counter with half chance of warping?

Hmm, scouting is an important part of the strategy of this game. Getting a Counter for scouting would suck. It'd just encourage people to scout with alts however.

well yeah... but you can scout with one ship and not do any damage, but i hate when people start scouting and killing off your pships with alts... i cant get a cloaked station to stay there long enough to protect me from anything

Ahhh, I see what you mean. Good idea. Emi has started another post somewhere calling for suggestions on this mechanic.

You should post your idea there Cameron07.

Simply dont use pships   :)

i hate pships >.<

only reason everybody is grinding segs atm is simple the higher the encryption lvl the better the items become wich you get.

dont know what lvl every 1 is at but when your on encryption lvl 500 what is a credit item worth 1bil? that isnt to bad 1 bil for 1 turn.

500 encryption, i dont think that give one bill

ii doubt it in wars at least
