Re: dynamic Cap update
I heard that the cap would be based upon the average of the players in the top 10% of the game, so that it would steadily go up, and possibly go down if a massive war broke out.

Thats correct.
Admin did say this would not be an update that would be released within the next few weeks though.

Re: dynamic Cap update
Although at 70,000 'players' I am pretty sure the 'top' 7,000 accounts average wouldn't go up very fast. More likely it will be the top 1%, at most top 2.5%.

Re: dynamic Cap update
Indeed.
IMO, the best way to do it would be to take the top 1/2% of armies, and put the cap at 25% bigger than the average, maybe leave it as that for a certain amount of time, and then after that amount of time, rework the cap.

Yes as the game is so big top 10% of the players will probably decrease the caps
And no need to rework on the cap as it is dynamic

Re: dynamic Cap update
Im going to be annoyed if the cap comes out and people are able to raid to about my size, that means ive wasted loads of time on growth from UP
grrrr, but i do think a 'Dynamic Cap' is needed

Re: dynamic Cap update
Waste of time IMO if people dont want to go above the CAP they dont have to. And now their pathetic whining is getting themselves an update, great!

Re: dynamic Cap update
I'm going to hit the raiding cap very very soon, and frankly, I'd rather have to UP myself up to 100m than get help from admin. Its unfair for those who did it before me...

Re: dynamic Cap update
or make the cap based of how many planets you have =D make it an upgrade you can have housing or somthing along the lines on your planets that would up your max and maby multi mother ships each new mother ship you have will allow you to have 3 new planets but the cost of the mother ships would progressively get much much much more expencive.... just an idea

Re: dynamic Cap update
can we not have a dynamic cap for the next 6 months at least?
if people do not want to pass the caps they are free to sell their uu's or kill them off
