Well shorter uni length will hopefully create less RBs. I dont know what the status of the server is atm for umm reasons, but I hear its RBing constantly. JonC is already aware of the problem (check help) and they are working on diagnosing the problem. This uni there has been a load of new features and content introduced, and not all problems were identified on test. So give them a break.
PS. Voomy, fancy unblocking me?

Can the colony year be reduced possibly? That would make them grow faster - with only 2.5months I'm not sure they'll offset the cost of the bases and the time investment is far too high for the ratio of credits earned at this point... I'm not opposed to a shorter uni, but after 1.5 months most colonies will just be maturing to sell too and with some of the new content taking tens of millions of commodities and such the infrastructure to get those metal/space whiskey/baobobs is very labor intensive. Maybe a 90 minute colony year? Or does that defeat the purpose of the shorter universes entirely?

ether reducing the colony day or changing the way they grow would be great.
the new colony commoditys take TONS of resources. so it does take time to build the items for it and because of the horrendous costs involved in capship reserch alone not including production it does take a wile to do things...reducing the colony tick time would be a great help to the players.
you might not realize it but the changes you make effect the game economy and atm everything is so damn expensive. i blame part of that on players taking advantage of others and some who are just too stupid to hold out for a better price.. but its still something you need to take into account before you change things. and atm colonys arnt as productive as they would be if all of the colony code was in.
and where is micron? XD
