Sol is the best thing to happen to ascended since it was released 5+ years ago, he's an active and dedicated game admin and is devoting a lot of his time to improve the server - which is just what ascended needs.
+1 Absolutely.

Or
we adapt.

No Juliette, this is not something we can adapt too, SoL needs to reverse this change and ramp up the CS costs by just a factor of 10 to start with so we can see how that is, if it's not enough it can be bumped up again, but starting with a 1000 fold increase is just ridiculous and NO ONE wants this, period.

Indeed, it would make Command Stars essentially useless as they cannot be maintained and still have cost effective farming - as someone said earlier, all it does is promote farming of inactives.
What we're looking at is having to fork out a couple of quint to get the uber CS for the higher achievement levels and then never use it again as its simply not worth arming at the price we're currently talking about. That only adaption would be to adapt to not bother about command stars, and I dont feel that is the intention of the released update

Or make an update that gives more dmu per 1 planet and per 1 power level to help out, which would just make accounts more powerful.

I agree with both of the above statements. Sol has been a great asset to Ascended, and the balance on this change is way off.
Obviously, on a change of this sort, initial negative feedback would have been expected, and I expect that Sol would have made a decision to weather it for a while and see how things pan out before making further modifications. I know I would have. However, I think that, in this case, the adjustment was far enough off that it was immediately clear and that reevaluating the change should occur right away.
I won't put on airs and do it myself, but I recommend that Sol put up the suggested poll where people could vote on what level of adjustment to try out. I think the most common suggestions, as I am recalling range from 10x-100x the original costs - so maybe 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, & 1000? And post an in-game message so active players will know to come vote on the proposal.

Quite right, though i must say that he shouldnt have made the price so high and should have gone with the price he did say he was going to do. Thus no need to fix it and he could get things done in rl.

But if the higher price would not have been such a problem, you would not have complained..
So.. a lower price might have led to worse feedback.

New price is better, still costlier but not insanely expensive, the attack and defense weapon cost needs updating on the planetary fleet page, if your gonna do the CS you may aswell do the planetary fleets page, however I understand why you havent already, as people would benefit massively from already stored weapons.

easy way around that would to be to increase only the purchase price and not the selling price

nice 'fix' on the CS costs btw sol ^_^ you're a star
