problems with fleet destroying

[hidden]

ok the new update to destroy fleets its a good idea to help us stop planet stealers who have nothing but fleets

there is just one small problem

it does nothing to help us stop planet stealers

look most of these guys only have their mothership for 1 min a day long enough to take a planet then run off and hide

now this is a problem how are we meant to destroy fleets when fleets are always off with the mothership

you need to do something about it so we can still destroy fleets when their mothership is away

[raistlin majere]

so...you're telling me you want to be able to chase motherships sent out to find planets? why not just hit him exactly 24 hours after he sends his planet out?

or...how about making the "will return at" visible in spy logs if MS is away, it can be justified with something to the effect of "your covert agents report that judging by the speed and tragectory, the MS will return at xx:xx"

*rolls eyes*wow great so all i have to be able to do is destroy all their fleets without the 30 secs it will take them to take a planet and send it out again


you might as well take fleet destroying out of the game as its completely usless like this

[raistlin majere]

I am sure you can do one of the following:

1) Catch them offline/unawares
2) Mass faster

i dont think you understand

there mothership is only around for like 5 seconds out of every day dude

[raistlin majere]

I do understand, I have had someone do this to me as well, I learned to mass faster and catch them when they slip.

omg you have the worst suggestions known to anyone in existence

their motherships are only around for 30 seconds they arent going to be offline during that time

so, you are telling me you are shortsighted enough to think that retrebution must be dome immidiately?

Think Long term hidden.

oh did i mention the 3 of them could just be friends and their could be more of them destroying their accounts with no anything except fleets

1 week until i have no planets left



i cannot believe you are saying should just sit here and wait instead of having something done about it

[Lord Morlock]

I agree that Raistlin Majere's suggestions are useless, the best way that comes to mind as a solution to solve this is a refueling time for the Mothership during which it can not be sent out; not too long of a time, perhaps 1 or 2 turns,a short enough period that the player looking for revenge at least has to do some work to get their hits in (ie..be online at the right time, easy but hey; it's something)

no i dont think thats long enough as some people have lives outside the game(not me) and so the stealer could simple make it so his mothership will come back at a time the other is asleep

it has to be long enough to let them be attacked

maybe a new attack option that can destroy fleets while the mothership is away(not one of my besy suggestions lol)

or how about when a mothership takes a planet it cannot be sent away for a day that sounds fair if you dont want your mothership to be attacked then dont take a planet

or something like that

see lord morlock i could stay on the comp for 48 hours waiting for a time to strike but not everyone can so

oh and also how about if he takes your planet you and only you are allowed to attack his fleets

[Lord Thanatos]

I agree with Lord Morlock, 1 or 2 turns would be enough to allow revenge AND it would throw off his timing, perhaps causing him to skip a few hours due to the 1 hour delay, if he couldn't log on at certain times.

ermm lol did you read anything i said

not eveneryone can play for 24 hours waiting for 1 hour where their mothership will be vulnerable

it has to be long enough for people with lives outside of the game

What hidden is saying is that they steal with their mothership - then they send their MS away for 24 hours.

As soon as it comes back they steal again - then send away.

So, unless you are online for the 30 seconds or so that their mothership isn't away, you cannot do anything to stop them - so massing faster or catching them unawares is not really an option unless you are willing to hang around your PC until the approximate time thir mothership will be back - bearing in mind people work and have to sleep!

actually what he is saying is i should wait a few months until he thinks i forgot then strike

which is actually more funny then what you thought he meant

i still have planets and im trying to save them i need to sotp him now

its ok you've been acused falsely you can rot away in jail then when you get out you can prove your innocence
