The old battle system worked well..

Your def protected your spies
your spies protects your weapons

so building both high protects you


Now.. We can kill spies v easily, so defence is not safe. If defence is not safe, and spies are not safe, accounts are vulnerable. That is the whole point of the era is it not? It's been made well.. The idea has been made into an era very well, I just feel the idea is a bit too chaotic, and will result in destruction for anyone who tries to do well.. By every1 who can't do that well.

It's the best wave ever made for snipers. And we all know how much we love them. (and to top it all off.. We can't even trust farming.. Because we can lose our entire strike while trying to farm... Unless we spy every account before we farm it.. Which is impossible)

i already said it man
epic anticovert and epic defense makes a two-fold defense

assuming it's covert vs anticovert when sabbing

because that's really going to suck for people that haven't brought waves of USS's

yes i did, i saw your post before posting and posted mine INTENTIONALLY, so that you would start reading the posts that have been made in this thread

now back on topic...

Forum wrote:ok - i feel bad. the last few eras i had big dreams, big plans, big big big....
then it flew away on me ... and what was left was not so good...

so - as much as i wanted a 'new shiny quantum' that would live up to my plans and dreams...this era i elected for a more realistic (although also a lot more work than i thought) quantumverse.
anyway -for those that stuck it out, congratulations!! you are surely the better for it ... in particular to those that stepped up, and finished at/in the top!! you know who you are

anyway...
its 'main style' back -- so attack attacks; defenders defend; and everyone goes to the armory before a battle --and yes, motherships come along

now - the twist? yup, a biggy...

anti-matter weaponry. expensive upgrades. a 50% ante (attack vs. def) to come play...

these 3 things, the more I think on it, the more it will be a very strategic round. add to that a 'slower start' and the whole fear of losing out on the first day, if you miss the big farm, is gone too... gotta play to win

like usual, code is fickle (took last 2 hours to find one last bug!! which was why the stutter start...) -- so post the bugs. i do not think there will be too many, as ive been busy busy testing...but with anything new....and smart users

so - hopefully this era will be the "finally the good times are back in quantum" era... if not, ive got a hunka anti-matter ready.....just put it in the server drive.. and ....

so - thank you for your patience to date, and hopefully everyone will enjoy a great era.

jason.
ps - 2am for me, so to bed for now. will catch up in the AM or early PM

also - i have made an 'easy reset' button, in case something goes drasticly wrong. if everything is smooth and fair, though, no need to press the button but hopefully people feel better knowing its an option....

also also -- any upgrades made during last 3 or 4 eras, are not necessarily here..although i did get a few of them..if there was an easy/quick/good upgrade that got 'rolled back' just let me know and maybe i can re-add it ... thats another issue with going back/forth in time/quantumversus...one leaves a lot of good stuff (ie code enhancements) behind, if one forgets to port it..

so where be it, apo?
i know for one thing admin never answered if it was covert vs anti or covert vs covert...
