To Raven: If you wanted a chance to catch up, you shouldn't have ascended six times in one month. You young punks in this game want everything right now and, if you can't get it, you pout and grouse and stomp your feet. I and others like me gave up tons of resources in main to get to where we are now in ascension (and the reason that you young punks were able to mass Reborn and I so easily in main). Now you want us FURTHER handcuffed than we already are in ascension AND you don't want the power of ascended accounts to affect the power of the main accounts. If you had put that Naquadah that I gave you for all those UU that you sold me in main into UP, you could have had a MONSTER ascension account right now. So instead of pointing fingers at others, perhaps you ought to take a look at how you played ascension and take some of the blame for not being able to compete effectively.
mate many people did invest (for their size) massive resources but that's still not enough.
and why?
because once you reach a certain size there is always someone who has a bigger strike than your def (no matter how high you build it) and once that someone finds you he sees the amount of planets he can raid and the losses being less than a tenth of what he steals. So even if people did massive ascencions now they will still not get anywhere by getting raided.
now if you come to me saying that we should increase our defences then you know too well that it is pointless because we'd have to increase covert and assasin too.
Eventually this leads to having something like
1 guided planet, 4 super defender planets, ~12 ghost and ~12 assasin planets. I'm not quite there yet but that's what this server is aiming at if you want to avoid getting raided.
Taking Teal'auc for an example (she is a friend of mine so don't want to make her angry but mentioning her only cos i do remember how strong she is compared to me) she is approximately my size in terms of sphere of influence but her defence, covert and assasin are over 10+ times smaller than my stats. [sarcasm]Yes i'm starting to see the amount of skill that is needed to play this server[/sarcasm]. You really need skill but no matter how much you got you WILL get raided if you are non-cop.
Other factors that gravely put lower players at a disadvantage, actually everyone but lower (non-cop) players who get raided feel this the most often, are for example that you can't partially repair your weapons.
You can't pay for the bill after you got raided, you can't bank the money and you get farmed way before you can scratch up enough..
After a few days your weapons get destroyed, yay you just lost over 15-25 days of your income, not to mention that you probably lost over 30-40% of your income with the initial raid and much more sicne people will be able to raid you much more easily and farm you too
And lore. I'd like to see how, even if the 100 strongest non-cop accounts would work together could win a battle against either mojo or sinister, last time i heard how many planets did they have, bilion or more? and what up? 10 mil per day?
yes it is certainly possible to defeat them both. but only if one would fight the other which we all know will never happen
