Descension

[Sarevok]

Some of those are supposed to already be covered when de-asended

If you are descended in ascension, you do not get ANY bonuses in main.

So, maybe revised to:
When descended:
*Attack power = Non-bonus Attack power + 5% (as a prior level) instead of the ~50%
*Attack power = Non-bonus Attack power + 5% (as a prior level) instead of the ~50%
*Attack power = Non-bonus Attack power + 5% (as a prior level) instead of the ~50%
*Income = Non-bonus Income + 5% (as a prior level) instead of the ~50%
*-25% MS power (rather then not being able to take planets/regain lost planets)
*-25% Unit Production

It's fine how it is ... although I think (that's a lie, I know I wouldn't) I might be more inclined to make the penalty worse if the Ascended Server wasn't broke and a joke. It's never going to be anything but that though. The idea of two different servers being connected was always stupid I thought, losing your bonus from being ascended is just right for being descended. Any other additions to the penalty is overkill and does not make sense.

Admittedly you just want more penalty because people you descend don't seem to much care, well that's a shame I guess but it doesn't warrant an update or addition where none is needed. People work hard to ascended and get all their bonuses (up to level 23) and taking away only what they worked hard to get, and not more, is fair. Only that is fair.

So set all their stats essentially to their base-race?

Well isn't that happens when you get descended anyways? You lose all the bonuses you gained.

Don't know exactly off the top of my head. I know there is penalties, I don't think its total removal of bonuses to an un-ascended account.

[stuff of legends]

it is. I assume it would be AB as well

Being descended sucks enough, and to be sent to perg and have to sacrifice the rest of your men to be able to farm is stupid...

Being descended, stripped of ats, sent to perg is not that bad of an idea, I kind of like it... To even the playing field for the perg players, make your loses 2xs when attacking and being attacked...

Also, if you want more of a punishment of descended players, trying being descended... It hurts enough without losing a potential of 400M of your army with it... Cause when you get descended, your bank is cut in like half, and if your saving up for 38, your screwed..
