Vacation Mode

[ShAd0wS]

Well some people have to take vacation w/o internet access, and if you have enemies odds are if oyu leave for a while and come back you wont have much left in the was of fleet... I wouldnt mind seein some kind of vacation mode where you are in nebula for however long you are gone (preset), but dont gain any interest or cash from workers, and dont gain any turns, or something along those lines at least... I think it would be a nice feature

[Chronos]

It'd have to take you out of the rankings and DDay.

[FTP]

Rankings not needed Doomday yes, and vacation  mode should atleast be 2 days or sumthign so that you cant jump into vacation so that you dont get hit, while yuou make profit using the marker.

And ofcourse you may not have any counters on you anymore.

[Finis]

I would say have it so that it freezes the account, so that during the vacation time no changes are made to the account. No turns, no growth, nothing. Otherwise you would have people go into vacation to keep them safe while gaining power from growth. And yes Chronos take them out of the dday list.

Alliance truces would need someway of extending them if the alliance leader is on vacation. I know I'll be out of contact for about a month near the end of June, and being the leader of the alliance, my absence would prevent truces from being maintained.

[FTP]

You could make someone else leader fgor that time.

[Chronos]

Ya, the accounts should be completely frozen, except for maybe alliance posts. You might be able to get internet access for a short period, and it'd be nice to give your alliance-mates an update or two.

And the truce problem could be fixed if Sir Emi implements the vice-leader feature.

[ShAd0wS]

yeah, for the VM you should be bale ot do absolutley nothing except messages and alliance stff, and minimum days 2-3 maybe... but yeah it owuld be nice cause i go away on weekends for 2-3 days alot and can set up powerfleets and such, but that dont stop me from gettin hit... and FTP, idk if counters should still count maybe, or else oyu could just vm to escape counters...

[Chronos]

I think he meant that you shouldn't be able to go into vacation with counters on you.

[ShAd0wS]

but that wouldnt be very good cause then you couldnt hit ny1 for a few days in advance... maybe counters should just go normally, or perhaps freeze until vm is over (dont know if it could be done though...)

[Chronos]

but that wouldnt be very good cause then you couldnt hit ny1 for a few days in advance...

Well, that's pretty much the only fair way I see. :-\

Vacation mode=majorily bad idea. Why? Because it would affect the game too much. If you have to leave for a long time, find someone who plays the game that you trust, like an alliance member or something, or just a friend who will be home while your away, and have the manage your account. Give them detailed instructions on what to do and not to do.

i say make vacation mode so that it automatically logs you off when you click it and makes t so the next time you log on it turns it off and your open for anything so you CANT contact people in it or do market it makes you unable to be in vacation mode while your on

[Lammalord]

overall bad idea im with monkey on this one

[Seither]

Ok, well guys, let me just build about 1 trillion powerships once this gets implemented, go into vacation mode, make a second account (which is allowed) and wait until D-day activates and is about to end, and then log back into my first account and deactivate vacation mode. Guess what? I just took 1st place without even trying. See why it's a bad idea? If this were a game where you couldn't attack other players, it would work wonderfully, but this game relies on PvP (Player vs Player) attacks, so it won't work.

then it should have a 1 week min and can only be done once a month
