If this was implemented, it would be nice to also see a forth control slider requiring colonists to be dedicated to running the cloaking systems; with more colonists equaling a deeper level of cloak. And the whole mention of gravity earlier in the thread gave me an idea. What if we could research how to collapse a star into a black hole, with the immense gravity reducing scanning effectiveness and warp alignment in the affected quadrants.

Since wars is "never" supposed to reset I don't see the point.

In all fairness, they removed everything in it any of us would enjoy     LSD was weaponized at some point as well.

or is it..... 

He never did reply to my question about being okay with me feeding someone so they could do to him what hes doing to others. 

So you'd have no problem with me feeding wes so he does nothing but tiny you every single day until he runs out of turns?

Or the fact some of us are from across the pond and you were posting before any of us woke up lol. I think excessive feeding is the real problem. I see nothing wrong with helping an alliance member if they got hit hard or stumbled a bit but people show no restraint and abuse it to the point I'd rather there be no raids at all. For example, DJ's being fed as stated before. What's my problem with this? He hasn't donated anywhere near what Wes has and yet he's being fed into a better position while also using his new credits to attack people lower in power than he is with tinies. I have nothing against Jbomb personally, but I dislike that style of play and see it as the true issue at hand. If someones gonna have the cash to be a not a very nice person with tinies, they d**n well better have earned the wealth themselves.

And for what it's worth, don't buy into the hype. I , personally, have only let people raid me 4 times the entire round and they barely got much of anything out of it bc of the previous changes made. Obviously the things emi has implemented to help the problem are working as the raid news posted earlier in this thread shows they've resorted to throwing out ships to try to boost the profits for the raider.

Indeed, had forgotten about that.

If you can kill the reavers you should have a station. They generate steady income or minerals to use for mothership modules at first, and with investment in the replication technologies, can produce a much higher volume of minerals later on. The higher mineral output is important as it allows you to work on the nanite mothership modules, which give you a discount on the price you actually pay for ships. These modules, along with the line assembly bonus in the commander panel, allow you to get ships for less credits. At the max discount you would only pay 16% of the price you see listed in game so that your 17 billion credits could buy a 100 billion credit ship. This is why stations are important.

Also of note, when you start building stations, its important to also start researching station cloaking. This late in the round most people can easily see through cloaking, but earlier in the round its good protection for stations.

No, EMI stated the ips didn't match. He never said he didnt raid it. I, and several others, personally had seen cam raiding kyles planet (news doh!). Kyle himself said cam was the only other person who had the password for his account. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what cam was up to, and if that wasnt enough, when kyle's account lost about 17 quad bc of the covert ops counter, cam powered up to finish raiding the scraps from kyles account. So before you invent poop how about relying on facts.

The very things he's complaining about hes guilty of himself. He's crying because he got butthurt by a covert ops counter that occured to the kyle account after Cameron used that account to tiny people he couldnt otherwise engage. He had been raiding that account all round, and using it like his own alt and now hes screwed bc his gravy train went broke. Get over it Cam. And I see this as cameron using tony to get around his ban. He was banned for a good reason ( not even for his own violations of the tos mind you) and he has no right to use another person to keep speaking on the subject.

thats a totally baseless accusation. if i was letting them raid me more than just last night theyd be much higher in power. You on the other hand only got where you are by raiding kyle's account and planet. I welcome the logs to really be looked at because I know I haven't done anything wrong and I've personally seen you raid kyle's planet several times. So bring it on.

For one, they're not being fed to stay where they are. Two you're the one who's using another account to attack others you cant keep down on your own as you don't donate for poop and relied on kyle's success to keep you relevent. Now you want to make an issue of something that's not even rule breaking as its been the feeding of accounts to get them into the top ten that's against the rules. Both accounts you're crying about were already in the top ten and remained there even after you used kyle's account to tiny them. You're just throwing a fit because you decided to cheat, by using kyle's account, then got butthurt when you got burnt on the counter, and now you want to make an issue out of something you have no right or moral authority to even bring up. Make all the noise you want, but as no rules were broken, we'll be sitting around watching you sink in the rankings without kyle's account to sponge off of.

 The only people that raided me were in the top ten already. If theyre already in the top ten then theres no isse with it. And how dare you be such a hypocrit after youve been using kyles account to feed yourself? Now you want to cry and complain because zynx blew up the huge main you reserved and left you peanuts to raid from kyle afterwards. I gave them the raids to make up for you using kyle's account to tiny them so what's the issue? You've been using that account like a veitnamese prostitute during fleet week and it was funny watching you panic, then power up to feed off the leftover scraps on kyles account. So quit being two faced and whining. You have zero room to point fingers at anyone else. When you stop sucking kyle's titty then come back and talk about what everyone else is doing. Until then go get bent.

What sort of blue screen error is it giving you? "memory could not be read" "access violation" etc? If you can write down the error's stop code you can google it to find out its meaning.
