if you need a test person I would be glad to help test this thing. I am sure some of the top commaders and veteran players would not mind helping you test this on another site to ensure playablity and its possible effects on game play and game balance.

[Seither]

I wouldn't mind either. Just contact me if you want some test help.

I wouldn't mind helping out.

[ars68]

yes, I would not mind helping out to, give me a good chance to get practice at playing something but only to look for problems and such, and critically think aboutt hem instead of blasting at the person who did it so they can just fix it and go on.  sounds fun

i cant wait... keep missions the same and everything and the ablity to attack people(reamber you warp in attack and warp out... why else would i take turns?) but other than that exploring the universe and making bases dose sound sort of fun something to do like a subgame... has nothing to do with the game now, but you could still explore i cant wait tell its done

[Lammalord]

and all them dots look almost like there galaxys lol like thats the entire universe or something haha

[nukeman1993]

yea i really like the minig outpost idea. But like i said earlier in the post you need to be able to check on them. Also that map will be extremely awesome when we get a lot more players. Because like alliances could war over several galaxies and just continue to battle over several. That would be awesome. I CAN'T WAIT Tto see how this works out in the game. Hopefully well!

nukeman, we HAVE a lot of players, at least 2k that are active and not alts of other players.

ok, I bring this up in hopes of fixing it at the same time:

in the story (you let this fall and it really does make an impact on people thinking about joining) it says that almost quite literally this whole galaxy is gone, except for stray stars and such.

my proposal:

further the story to say that in such and such way, an alien (remember those encounters?) race comes and after being defeated we learn how to warp to other galaxies, wrapping things up here and moving on to other galaxies to continue the war effort.

thus, in the center if this "map" there should be a "starting" galaxy with little in it that all new players start out at, and can serve as the central point and or training grounds for new people for a while.

now ars that is one great twist to this that we have learned how to go to other galaxies.  sweet

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!!! ARS68 HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!

A stupendious idea ars. (Still sounds a lot like Pardus, but if we're going to risk jumping shark, we should jump all the way)

[Lammalord]

yes but the attacks should still be the same as before and all the stuff like that.. the galaxy is just a helper to build bases, and do other side stuff when you run out of missions.. that help you out in various ways...

why would you change attacks for all an attack is, that " you hyperspace in strick quickly then leave" thefore no matter were you are in the galaxy it shouldnt effect your ablity to attack people even if there at the oppeset side

i cant wait hope this is fun... (still want 5 turns for missions back!)

[ars68]

ya, as far as I know, Emi said he would not make the map necessary to do any attacks or anything.  but this WOULD be a great way to use items

[Seither]

Didn't he say it would be up this past weekend? (I could have sworn he did....hmm...)

[ars68]

hey e, if it isn't already to late for suggestions about this, I have one:

make it like this:

each "colony" has so much space.  this space is about the same as ship space, except that it is on a colony and on a ship.

so the space will be divided 2 ways:

you have space to devote to resources and buildings

you have space to build systems on, like, a powercore system to power buildings and guns.

now, the thing is this though, and yes, this IS going off of what the tinyman was, because I 100% believe it is PERFECT for this.

you can have a colony that costs very little, or you can go off and, say, make 10 space power 10000 buildings, but then the powercore will cost ~so much~ so even a "small" colony can be huge in it's pwoer and everything, provided you have enough credits to throw at it.
