Size does not make his argument invalid.

This would PRIMARILY benefit the largest players.

The smallest would not gain from it, there will be plenty of players larger than them that can't afford the upgrade.

As much as I would like it for myself I can't see it being balanced for all.

But then again, improvements such as having more than one mothership would also benefit larger players, because they have access to more Naq, and could build two great MSs, instead of just one.

Infact any improvement that requires Naq often benefits larger players in favour of the smaller, we have to try and balance it so it helps as many as possible.

Whilst ADDING a stat to your planet would primarily only be used by larger players with nice army sizes, this would perhaps allow 'smaller' medium sized players too keep their planets + duals, and benefiting them indirectly.

i think it should not be 3 trillion per slot as the smaller players could not afford it but maybe a certain amount of days worth of income for example 20 days income to buy a slot

All this thread is suggesting is a way for the top players in this game to stay stonger and the weaker players to remain weak.

kind of like the rich get richer.

since all top players would soon have 10 dual planet and all the smaller players would be able to have are single as cant afford dual.

so top players able to grow twice as fast as small players, bearing in ind they already have a huge growth rate anyway.

this would just simply create a much more larger difference between new and old players.

admins already trying to give some chance to newbies to have some chance to catch up with the others.

it would just make strongers more stronger.

Despite how much this could potentially help me, I have vote no. If the bonus was completely random, maybe, but it would be at the cost of 2 weeks market turns or something. (that in itself would be annoying to implement though, lol).
