Agree somewhat 

Commander Level 50 should suffice...maybe even 30!!! Short round is a good round 
Rank - Top 200 is fine

But Keep the number of people needed the same though ie 20. If you have the amount as 10 or so people, then you can virtually have one alliance determine whether dday should happen or not *hint hint - Im looking at you LOESC* 

DDAY should not be controlled by one alliance

Cool - although good luck on getting emi to release his ip to you 

I understand your frustration but knowing the fp of your supership is important cause you should only do missions that is the same fp as your lead fleet...

Its only an anomoly if there is a ship parked there and there is cloaking in the station...

what is the fp of U.N.R.A.S OKLAHOMA?

I like that!

Is it possible to ever get 100% of your ships value back if you get your commander skill to a really high amount?

Yes, I had a station that was on cloak and someone was able to park their fleets...

Emi gives you the link about 3 post above yours 

Very good advice for newbies

Here is the deal:

These missions once had "double fails". So in reality you could do a mission and fail twice.
Many were concern about this, since having a double fail would mean you waste a lot of turns for nothing.
So Emi changed it. It changed many of the missions and removed the double fails.

However,

I have noticed that although he changed the double fails, he decreased the chance for a particular option to be successful. So in your particular case:

Originally it would have been a double fail. This time, you will have the choice of clicking on option 1 until it is successful. The problem is that Emi removed the double fail for these two options but made the likely hood of success quite low.

I have noticed this with a lot of different missions. I have done experiments in time loops, ancient commander and others where I literally can lose hundereds and hundreds of turns over trying to get an option to be successful.


Oh by the way, with the ancient commander mission, the experience they give you is very pitiful. ALWAYS chose the FIRST left option when you play this mission. It will give you 250 segs.

I think there need to be *major* changes for that to happen...changes to planets, stations etc. I mean once we get to the planet stage that is when we usually see a big difference in fp between players..

True...the game is much more exciting at the start of the round

I think this thread should be closed. Its getting nowhere. People are just taking cheap shots at each other...

Just curious as to who design these mothership contracts
