ok my 2 cents
firstly forum, thankyou for these updates, many of them particulary the app conversion rate adjustment is well overdue
my only concern with the mentioned updates is making desension easier, although in saying that if it is easier for someone to descend me, it is easier for me to descend someone else, please correct me if my logic is wrong there.
i do like the idea that has been sugested of being able to transfer the cache to lf if you are under attack, without using it directly in battle, as has been said while this would act as a counter to making descension easier, it would reward those that are active and under personall attack. if i might suggest, if this is addopted however to stop abuse and making people un-decendable again that there be a limit to say 3x per day and only a max sent to full your life force / reserves to max, as i understand it from other posts u are now able to be hit up to 6 times per day and decended in 2 hits. (again correct me if im wrong here) so by doing this it would still be possible to decend someone however it would make it harder if they are regularly active, without making them un-decendable
if you still plan to give everyone some app to make up for the change in value, might i suggest giving everyone the same amount of app. while this might be considered a bit unfair on the top players, they have been benefiting from their app that they gained for some time now, this would help the smaller players while not realy disadvantaging the bigger ones, might i also suggest that this can only go into your cache and as such u must be at max lf before u can cash it in.
selling at's for dmu. great idea, although as been presented the rate of 100k is well tiny (as already discussed). it is reasonably easy to find several inactives with 0 def who throughout the course of the day have betwene 10 and 15 mill dmu out. forgetting about modifiers, this would suggest that the absolute min 1 turn would be worth would be 666,666 dmu.
whilst the superweapon had its problems the sale of it did bring alot more interest and activity to ascension and i do believe that the attention (wrong word, cant think of a better one) of some players will be lost without the farm fest every 3-5 days. on top of that the superweapon was a great sorce of income and growth potential for me when i was much smaller. i personally think that some form of distribution should take place. im not too keen on the idea of a 'chaos tax' in ascended however the idea of a dmu shower sounded interesting
if i could turn now to a more sensitive topic and one not covered by this update announcment as of yet (but discussed). initiate revolution.

Income planets being destroyable is what makes the game so different. Everything is destroyable. Nothing is safe. I wouldn't have a problem if revolution was changed to destroy income planets, but income planets need to be destroyable in some way shape or fashion.
my personaly self centred view agree's with robinindahood. however hensenhi makes a valid point about this being a key difference betwene ascended and the other servers. my problem with ascended does not realy lie in that it is possible to 'reset' someones account, but that in the process your enemies not only grow stronger reletive to u, they literally grow much stronger, i do not agree with hensenshi that income planets
need to be destroyable, however i do agree that there would be less of a problem if they actually were destroyed and in no way be able to be raided. if this process were to be able to be limited to say 1% (arbitary figgure) of your physical expance per day this would help further. if initiate revolution was changed to destroy income, this would hopefully mean that once a player got to a certin size their account was not 'rest' by bigger players looking to grow further. this being said in a war betwene players or alliances it would mean that it would be possible to criple their accounts but u would not get a tangible benefit from doing so (excluding limiting their damage inflicted upon you.)
after typing all that on initiate revolution i hope i dont sound silly when i say my preferences is for leaving income worlds totally untouchable
whilst that is alot of words and i am not a large player in ascension but a very active one i hope my insight is helpfull in whatever is decisions are finally reached
finally i would just like to repeat something someone else before me said. thankyou forum, although many people here complain, i think you would be hard pressed to find anyone that wasnt truely greatfull for what u do
