Was PPT not made to protect the weak? Make it so PPT is only avaliable to a certain percent. Ideas on the percent? Also make it avaliable to those just acsended.

For those who want short vacations but do not want to put them selves on vac. mode can give their lifers/miners a holiday. This would give you zero income for the day. You could only do this twice a week though, so the miners do not become to lazy and quit working. Or you have the option to give half of your miners a holiday for a day then the next your other miners get one.

It's a rough start but who likes it?

I was originally thinking rank but the more I think of it the less I like it. I'm not sure on what it should be, most likely total power or army size. Not both that would be to confusing I think.

the problem is large players now don't build a defense, they simply use PPT, even though they have the capacity to build themselves a defense.

It was never to protect the weak ... its a way to get 2 days off and not having to go in vacation mode.

All you "small" players seem to complain cos " you cant catch up " , i think your just to lazy to go raid and farm , i know ppl that started 2 months back and already have over 20 mil armysize , dont tell me its to difficult to " catch up" its never being as easy as now.

next thing you wil be asking to get 15 mil miners on registering for a new account.

No. lol. bad bad bad bad.

I for one would hate this.
I work 3 days a week, 14 hour shifts with no net access. Im always in PPT when im at work. So no.

Its not to protect the weak. To be quite honest weak players cant even aford to save up for a MS let along PPT. Anyone bigger than thoses players can look after them selves.

You must also take into account that some player are small because they sell their uu to put in UP and Planets. So that would also be unfair to them.
