Friends List + Multiple Motherships

[Alex]

I've played a few other games in which there was an option on players profiles where you could add them to a friends list, then when you go to the friends list tab you can click their name and it leads to their profile.

My other idea is basically you can purchase and build up multiple motherships pretty much exactly the same as the current MS system only you can buy up to say.. 3 - 5 or something. Then there could also be a new attack mode in which you can use your MS Fleet to attack other players MS Fleets in which only the MS's would engage, You could also select how many of your MS's to send into the battle, it would open up many new options in regards to how players could use their MS's. Just an idea a had... Could definitly use some refining just curious as to what everyone thinks about this idea.

Not sure if either has been suggested before, did a basic search and nothing came up so figured I'd post

well, there is already a set peace option, so i wouldn't see a need for a friends list.

and my opinion on the second idea is that it doesn't really help you gain anything and i think having one MS is effective enough, but its nice seeing new ideas as this game does need something fresh

friends list could be good. But what would be the point of having it other then not having to write their ID in the personal log?

The second has been suggested. And from what i remember, it won't happen. Multiple MS's, if were allowed to team up (if they weren't they'd be almost useless except for dealing with 3 planets/day) would put those that spend huge resources on their only MS to be at a disadvantage, as the cost is exponential in a way. 100k fleet hangers is MORE expensive, then 3x 33k hangers.

33k fleets hangers = 5.4T
100k fleets hangers = 50T (almost 10x the cost, but only 3x as powerful)

It could be made so that only the main MS could have hangers, the rest would just get weapons and shields like the main MS.

Not very useful... I do support the buddies list however...

Multiable MS = Bad idea.

Buddy list = Peace treaty or alliance friendly (for the whole alliance)

Alex, as i said, the price difference is HUGE! You could have 10 MS's with 33k fleet hangers each (as an example, this would work for weapons etc too), for the same price a 1MS with 100k hangers. So, 10MS = 330k fleets, 1MS = 100k, with SAME cost to both players

The only way for multiple motherships to work is if there is a factor for strength. While it's true a blizzard of bees or wasps can take down a much larger animal they usually lose how many of their number? SO if smaller motherships were to be viable there would have to be a permanent destruction option of the secondary ones to make it fair.

Yes, as one of the big MS owners, I am bias but tough

I REALLY don't see the need or the attraction behind having multiple motherships. If anything fleets should be viewed as the secondary ships of the realm and developed.

As for a friend list, isn't that what 'peace' settings are for?

I have no opinion on first idea, but second idea will make massing even easier. And attack will be much more powerful than defense.
