Let's piss the player base off a little more?

please note too admins there is a lot of replies from high level players and teams regretting in respect what they will have to do to low level teams

we look upon these teams for players that stand out and recruit them
don't think this is gonna fix building for lower teams at all if they build in a pre owned gal of mine i will have to use a low level alt to rid of the bases and with my base trans healing my alt it wont be a hard thing to do
guess you should expand the uni every reset to take onboard new players joining up and make more jxt jumps like you have been doing

or make gals have more planets and moons and increase the base drop per team owned gal this would correct the loss of stronger base with more of em and stop people owning to many gals as cols and resources are more abundant

I have already stated in the past how I will deal with uber teams that wipes out low level teams. This change might cause more PvP conflicts but it's still high level teams that should fight other high level teams.

Something is needed wether the players like it or not. We need some kind of limit on team sizes otherwise we can never have balance. Emp runs can not be put back into the game without some restrictions on teams. This is a problem that will only get worse as the playerbase grows.

We could just limit the amount of players that a team can have but instead of a artifical limit like that we are trying to come up with ideas on how it simply doesnt help to have more players after a certain point.

Jeff, Voomy, etal, It would really help if you explain why you want to limit team size.

Maybe a new thread asking for player input would help.

As has been stated the new content requires more and more players to work together and large teams are where we find enough high level players to do these higher level content. I can speak for Traders, and I think most other large teams, when I say we have players in almost every time zone on the planet.

So let try to address some of the issues.

Large teams need lots of good planets and moons for pumping incomes. Increase the number of stars, planets and moons in W0/1/2.

Have at least one AI station in every galaxy in W0/1/2.

Take number of galaxies owned out of the team score. Replace it with the number of bases and colonies.

I'm sure that the player base can come up with other good ideas.

What I'm trying to say is that I really believe that a player should be able to join any team he/she wants and that may want hir... regardless of team size.

I have already explained a couple reasons why we would want to limit team sizes.

This is a stupid plan ...

I don't think it should be put in the game ...

Owning a gal pisses me off as it is this is not needed ..


-Minch-

i think the ownership & protection of the gals should be based on the resources within that gal, a poor gal is hard to maintain pop. hence it not being worth owning at all now because it would need more progressive steps to own it, not worth the time & money invested into it.

as i remember your post on pvp it was more about grief legit attempt of ownership and no more is the game and not grief small teams shouldn't hide behind pvp rules and voomeys tail coats im all against grieving low level players any uber that does that is a wimp and cant fight the big boys but ownership of a gal is not grief

Will this mean that people can cap other team's bases when they would have to have a higher population to own another galaxy and be owning another galaxy that they just capped? Big exploit gonna be there. :/

As far as I know, ownership is based on the team and so you can't transfer ownership of a galaxy to another team. They will have to re-own the galaxy.

Anyways, the new requirements for owning are minimal and linear, so anyone exploiting to get around it is just wasting time that could be better spent building a colony.

Whilst you have a point 80, the fact there are a few hyper ginormous teams is very bad for the game. The fact they are also mostly peaceful does not help. Admisn do not like big teams, and will procede to encourage smaller teams.

Is it me or does Octopus just seem like the class suck up?

I for one like the idea of lots of smaller teams, hell I posted about it almost 2 years ago to limit the number of people on a team which got flamed.

About team size:

1- as Thummmper said, there are people playing SS in all world.... and not in same time. There are hours that we haven´t anyone in team chat to talk.

2- "Real power is when are together " So ... more people in my team... more power I am... and I guess it is one objective of this game.

3- I don´t think that SS´s objective is someone to play alone. In small teans, we will be alone much more time than in big teans.

About emp run:

Pants was so tired to be emp.... that they stopped to try. Now, after so many unis and deals, we have a second team with almost same power than Pants, and you want they split o.O

May be we don´t need teans like Toxic or Pants, if we have a kind of Aliances system to make emp runs.... and other things.... like defense.... or split galaxy.... or trade between players bases....

to adm

about owning galaxy.

I can understand reasons to make owning more difficult, but, why hells do we protect a galaxy in this moment in SS yet? To protect ais ships? i m tired to see noobs hunting in my galaxies, protect or not...

And, before to make more difficult big teans get owning galaxy, why don´t you think about make w0 and w1 galaxy less desirable to big teans/players. Kind: some cool stuff that only bases in far w2 or w3 or beggin w4 can be get, and sold to w3/w4 bases.

Or create a "Base boss" in team, so, others in team could only build after boss build first base, and in galaxies following gates from base boss. So, maybe this create a team dominium in uni....
