Bad idea in my oppinion. Many people have invested trillions of naq in their ms. Now this update enables it for every bit of active player to get a 400 bil mothership in a few weeks.

LOL you gotta be joking. That means that i will loose what i've been working for in past 6 months in about a sec once you update the game.

Do you think that all other players that have been investing trillions in their MS will be pleased?
Not to mention the fleets and planets.

Very Very bad idea!

I like it, it allows the new players to grow large and makes the old players try harder...thus not grow bored and quit.




The wise do not fight change, they embrace it.

I agree about the MS, but those that have invested so much should be able to continue to upgrade with the cheaper prices.

(I didn't check out the beta, so I'm just going off of what I've read so far)

I like the idea so far , however I have to agree that people that did invested so much in their MS should also be able to cheaply raise it.

But on another not just saw the fleet prices , I think that will fight with the planet defences. so I think few tweaks here and there wouldn't be all that bad

Pai Mei = right.

You know how it looks like, the SECOND I saw price being X10 on 200k weapons, I recognized a CER ascended server alike update...
Personally, I'm FULLY against this update.
If newbies want a great MS, they have to work! We did, so will they!
And planet update is crazy, loosing planet defenses...wth?
Oh I forsee an upcoming deletion of planets for winter 2008 if it comes!

Oh my.. here we go again.

*sings*
Mama mia, oh, oh, oh,
here we go again..

what # of slots are the best of the Motherships at?
you need to remember that while the first 200k would be cheap with this update, the ones after that point will be very expensive...the big people can afford to boost above that point, the smaller cannot afford that...

Yes we go again, it's another bad update that is meant to screw up Motherships, nothing more

[zeekomkommer]

the mobile planetary defence systems need their coding checked, me and a friend tryed it and the mobile systems did not engage the fleet or suported the defences on the ground

don't realy see anything new to the alliance wars yet

new relations are good in my eyes

the MS upgrade well, it's debateable, once you have level 10 you can get a reduction of 91% on the first 200k slots of everything, makes catching up to the big MS's realy easy, but once you are over 200k slots it's like hitting a brik wall and upgrading beyong that point sudnely is ridiculously expensive
(2,5tril/1k shields and 2,1tril/1k volleys)

so you'll get a load of MS's of around the same power, and a couple just over it

Forum , these updates to more bad to the game than good.
A war doens't has to be winnable, why should it?
The MS thing is kinda a low blow for all the active people that have spent to much hours on this game farming the naq, while if they come later they could have it much easier.
You don't have to make the game more accesable for n00bs , it already is , with the upgoing rates , they can farm more with their turns so they already have a better start.
Like when my brother started playing the rates he farmed were 1 bil/ 15at
when i started playing it was already 3 bill (these are on non defence targets.), and i catched up to him.
How? I was more active, i was more dedicated.
The n00bs don't have to get all these bonusses ,absolutely not when you are making the old people leave. If they have enough dedication to become a good player , it will work , it won't depend on bonnuses the new generation gets.

P.S.:I know my spelling isn't good.

1. thing...the MS update basically resets MSs alltogether like you would be saying here we go from equallity
- question A do you think best players who have invested loads will be pleased by this?
- question B if I again invest lets say 200 trills in it...what makes me certain you wont just reset them again?

catch my drift? This is not really "fair" and also a very bad thing to do if you wish ppl to stick around...


2. thing the fleet stuff...same as with MSs only that this time it screws up another thing and thats the defences on the planets some ppl have invested alot in...

3. thing these extra defences on planets are actually more expensive then if I was to upgrade the original ones...so their use is smaller then the prob they bring...


All and all the concept is bad and should be changed. I would personally solve the fleets planets problem with introducing 10 diffrent hangers for fleets and thus making the prices practically the same as one ups defences or fleets...
And as for MS I would ensure that the the price for slots just rises more rapidly and drastically thus eventually ppl would get closer to the noumber but best would still be the best and wouldnt feel cheated


Just my opinion and ofcourse can be pathetic or crap like but its what I think anyway mr. Forum

you need to remember that while the first 200k would be cheap with this update, the ones after that point will be very expensive...the big people can afford to boost above that point, the smaller cannot afford that...

But why should i once again start with the same lvl of MS, than those who only started working on it now.

and the thing is my MS is not that good but it costed me well over 50 tril, and you don't get that overnight...

So if there is some kind of an update done towards MS, those who have biggers MSs, should have their MS changed with a certan ration towards the "new prices"

Which is quite ridicolous so just leave it where it is.... why not making a secondary MS instead that can protect planets and make it cheaper? LOL.

Too many arguments and i only see small ppl and those with weak MSs saying yes...
