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

it seems there are a LOT more encounters on the wars server. this will make things a lot different because of the increased bio experiments.

i have to argue against this update, unless its just a coincidence that planets come out and all of a sudden i get 4 bios in 20 minutes. this update will really put pressure on the player in the range of 60-30 rank. they have the cloaking needed to keep up and are just making it staying above the highest scanner level. with the increased amount of bios the upper end can get more scanners and such (also warp disruptors) and really make the lower end hurt.

sorry emi and guys, but i think this was a bad move.

The number for SO Wars is the same, 500 encounters spread across the power levels, maybe you got lucky and found a concentration of them...

ok
its just that my alliance members noticed the same. the ones doing missions got bare minimum of 4 bios. but i dont mind if we got lucky  :)

How are they spread Emi? I see way more if I have lower power ...

encounters get rarer as you go up in power, to get the most stay below 300 mill fp for as long aas possible, its also affected by the amount of players your level or this is what ive been told. also the are spread randomly

exactly like broken said, the ranking power of the commanders tend to affect their distribution because of the fixed total number...

So basicly the high lvl commanders get the shaft for fighting there way up and building good ships.

isnt there away to make it if i find a encounter the encounter would be 1 tril fp while is some 1 else moves into the sector it would only be 200mil FP.

no wonder i cant find any Blackholes i wonder if the items work the same way.

the encouters are balanced, if you did purely 15-20 mill fp BE (5 CP's at a time) you would have to do 100 of them to get what a 30 bill BE would give (500 CP's) so top players get more than lower level players anyway and galaxy missions can b seen by all so the items are the same as far as i know

i hit double digit bios in the last 24 hours :) but i only had 1 the week preceding....

yea
this seems like a bit more than luck
whitelightercarl just either posted or destroyed over 10 bios and many ancient commanders around the 100-300 bil range

its just lucky he found that many, wish i could :2:

Emi -

I have a suggestion here.

There are many many inactive accounts with very low power.  THis is increasing all the time - this tends to bias the encounters to the low end of the game, where most of those accounts arent even played.

Is it possible to delete all the very low accounts that have been inactive for a long period of time?

Its also annoying to see all those low accounts cluttering up the game when you know they are not active.

Good idea(tm) Amagnon.

I seem to recall Emi saying this was going to happen when the server first started.

yea good idea amagnon
although i know some players have been active for a long time but drop in from time to time. maybe if they pm you about inactivity they wont be deleted?

or at least not count certain ones into the encounter power range, like all accounts under 4 or 5 mil power dont incorporate them into the distribution of encounters

1 month inactive was a delete right?

idk
if 1 month was inactive there would be many less players...

and what cameron said is good.
that all players under a certain level dont even count towards encounter-power

They dont if right, the playing field gets divide in three pieces low range mid range and high range. All get an even amount of encounters and are spread out through that range.
