I like the idea of using creds to purchase team skills.

This would allow developed teams a faster way to get some real needed returns from this system.

And, it would provide the possibility for a ridiculous credit sink.

The biggest problem with this is the total miss on teams that must be split, at present, to accommodate all of their members, SP, Traders, etc. There must be enough alt slots to accommodate all of a team's members.

There MUST be a way of recombining these teams without loosing tons of GC points.

Split teams should be able to petition Support and have all of their scores and members combined into one team BEFORE the end of the uni, so they will have correct values at the beginning of the next uni. (Say 24 hrs)

If necessary teams should be able to buy additional player/alt slots when joining multiple split teams before the new uni.

It is absolutely necessary that teams be able to communicate with ALL members within the structure of SS, and not have to use a non SS chat and forum.

HQ Filling station is only when you dock in your actual team HQ base. It gives some advantage to people defending their HQ gal, and if you're nearby to your HQ and low on shields/energy with a bank setup, you might swing by.

The super cannon's would just have multiple super items included in the newly deployed HQ for multiple levels of the skill. Kind of like how the Helga has the two super items -- they charge and can be used independently.

You guys are right about the galactic control stat. It definitely needs to give more. I think 2 per level might not even be enough really, now that it's pointed out. 3 per level might be more appropriate?

Yup, and Roster should be at least 10 per level

Don't see the point of shield regen bonus as the gal will heal you fully before you even get to the hq.

Also don't see the point of +50/level vision either. A station master base, unless the team is idiots and use radars not up to the same level of the base, will have a pretty good time at finding and crushing the living daylights out of seers in the same galaxy.

Galactic Control:
Teams start out with 5 galaxies ownable with zero GC. Additional galaxies are purchased in bundles of 5. Legacy teams receive enough skill points to boost GC to 30 galaxies. That's 15 free TSP -- they would need to accumulate 13 for 40 galaxies (~1.5 week), and 66 for 60 galaxies (roughly a whole uni's worth of TSP, I doubt anyone would go for this in the short term).

I assume the escalating cost system is intended to keep teams from boosting their scores through the roof. The possible problem is that if we calibrate it so that 40 galaxies can be achieved by a legacy team in a week, 60 galaxies will be achievable by a strong legacy team in a uni and perhaps 80 galaxies in two unis. I submit that this may not be a huge problem since they would be forgoing lots of more valuable team skills and simply being able to own a ton of territory is not that powerful if you can't defend it.

Yes^ Listen to the guy with the maths

Edit: Just did a count. SP has 65 galaxies and BP has 41. Difference of ownership is 100 vs 63, so i'm guessing most other biggish teams are between that. Even if it was 3 galaxies per level of GC (Giving a total of 30 at the uni start), that won't be enough. Particularily if you consider many galaxies are connectors.

Truth in these here words.

Will warring team take as many war slots as warring player? Maybe make it so 1 lvl of warmongering gives 5 war slots, warring team takes 5 slots and warring a player takes 1 slot.

There is very little difference in effect between warring a player and warring a team

most of those "features" are new restriction to teams, which can be outruled over time right ?.. whats the point ?

And progressing costs seems another bad idea, in the longrun all the teams after 2+ unis will be more or less the same too ?
Not to mention that some of those "skills" have reduced utility at higher levels.

So at the end we end up with all established teams ignoring most of the new restrictions thanks to their skillpoints spend, and the new teams will be either screwed.. or sitting in CG gathering points too dont caring about it at all.

Whats the benefit ? i only see restrictions. (in general, i dont want anyone to come up with "but u can get +100k shield on this and that base")
