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

The SO Wars server has been upgraded and restarted. It includes the following updates:

- a huge amount of new stars have been dicovered
- The aliens have found a way into the SO Wars Galaxy. Incursion / hidden aliens are present.
- Interactive missions are now available. Credits / Workers reward have been replaced with experience, segments, items.
- Probes are available, you can search for hidden encounters / aliens now
- Reavers will now drop some salvage when defeated
- Items drops / item prices have been adjusted
- Aliens include the latest commander / queen spawns with their rare item drops

- some obsolete commander abilities / mothership modules have been removed
- secret base is no longer available


God Speed!

what exactly are the options to gain experience?

will that only be available by interactive missions?

New experience will be provided by Interactive missions and by looting experience items or by doing the regular Ancient Commander encounter.

Interactive missions are found in system view or by scanning using pinpointer probes.
Pinpointer probes are found in the aliens from Incursion and hidden aliens, as well as PvP Salvage.

Experience items can drop from aliens, pvp salvage, interactive missions, encrypt missions, etc.

Okay, I can work with that, it will just be slower to acquire the CP for the first few science levels than I expected.

I like the changes, btw.

Sweet I like the new alliance board :D

I noticed though that we have gold transport interactive mission though I think them and other interactives that give out high credit rewards might need to be removed or people might max again later

While the interactives are there, the rewards that usually would give credits / workers are converted into experience, segments or items.

nice mate :D

i like some changes, will be alot slower paced game, i wish that you would have just done away with workers instead of SAB... now raiding someone isnt an option...

I like the no SAB makes it alot harder for people to feed alts

I think that Gold needs to be tweaked a little sine it no longer helps your SAB.
Maybe a 5% increase in rewards from aliens?

or 5% less resources required for stuff

Look from it on the other hand, on wars its harder to get your line assembly up. So the 20% discount you get from gold is worth more then on main  :12:

yea but the sab base was very helpful aswell

How often do incursions happen?

You know come to think of it, how do royalties work now?
I used to make a bit from them but now I don't know if I am even able to get them without an SAB.

Thats a good question

Have you tried testing it AKA get someone to buy your ships wait 24 hours check the royalty log

If your not getting that then it needs to be fixed.

No I haven't checked it yet.
I was going to but I'm not sure anyone I know has Gold.

you do make a good point.

didnt even think of the royalties when sab was removed

I am exploring the idea of giving Gold accounts on SO Wars a 10% increase in experience gain of the commander.

The royalties will be deposited on the mothership. Thanks for the headsup :)

dont double post :P

thanks :D

Good glad we caught that now rather than later lol.

more stars makes it worse.. much less competition for good resource spots and very hard to find anyone to attack

thats 1 update i didnt see the reason for cause there really isnt enough players to need 2 make it bigger

I agree entirely with the above posts :)

little help emi? i mean bigger galaxy on main i understand.. more players more stations more planets but with wars server you didnt have that much stuff in the galaxy when we had fewer stars

The new players will need systems to be able to hide their planets, and in time it will grow with planets and there will be less available systems.

i don't think u understood what cammy said. he meant that right now there was no need to expand the galaxy because of the lack of players actually playing on the server.

there was plenty of open systems with the old smaller galaxy, thats not a problem.. people don't play that server because they think its boring.. and its even more boring now since you can hardly find anyone to attack or when people get bigger planets and stations to attack... you fixed the problem of maxing.. i don't see anyone doing that.. now we need a little action to keep people around

In my opinion Emi, it would be better to have it smaller.
I mean you did make it to be the Wars server after all.
Making it smaller would increase pvp cause players could then find other players to attack and it would make fighting over position for planets and stations necessary.

Just as a point it will be years before anyone gets a planet. I mean 3000cp and turns and 300bil. But maybe an automatic intel report if you stay still for 12hrs?

Auto intel would definitely be good, but I think 24 hours so no one gets reported overnight..
Btw Scion your estimates on a planet are way off :P

WTF???!!! ARE YOU CRAZY MAN :P no way is it gonna take as long as u think. i bet some will have it up in less than 2 months time :P

OK, I take ur point. I was using an artistic licence.  :)

a couple of months sounds about rite

Are you playing on WARS Spayed?

not atm, cant be assed. but i do know what im talking about :D
