Ok, been playing for about a week or two. i like this game alot. but i find myself irritated with the voting. why is it that everytime i vote, i have to wait 24 hours to vote again. that seems counter-productive because yes, i do enjoy this game a lot, but somedays, i get on at 7 at night, and the next day i can only get on at 11 or 12 in the morning. wouldnt you think a reset everynight at 12 am would be more benificial, possibly 4 or 5 gmt. i find myself waiting a day just out of irritation, lol. because being a non member and just starting, its one of the better ways for a beginner to keep from being pwned. all the waiting 24 hours thing does is prevent you from recieving more votes and lowering your ranking in the process

a problem with giving a 10x a 1% is lets say you just got attacked the day before your bday,and your ships were destroyed, that'd be a hell of a way for people to royally screw with others. and for the weaker players, that'd suck, and for the top 10, well, that'd help them rule all the more. that would just make it a lot harder for everyone to catch up. and seperate the poor from the rich. would lose a bit of the competitivness on it.

i agree with the direct hiring method, i'm currently going to boot camp for navy for roughly 2 months. without interest and growth factored in, im going to earn over a billion and a half just in my stash. personally, i'd be less worried about all that if i could know that that all was going to go to my workers. Maybe a way to allow that would be to set your account in a vacation mode. but say for instance that you eventually, though very improbably end up with more workers than you can hold, you know, 1 mil per bio, then what would happen to your credits then, would they be automatically stored or would they just be lost?
