Ok guys I was thinking about this right now and two of the races that i barely see people play now a days are coll/maru because of the decreased number of new players nd so on. So to fix this why not give a couple PCCs for coll/maru to start out or something. I mean it only requires BW and some of the other Admins and not Stephan. This help give a start to both coll/maru.

Terran Easy None
Aspha Miners Easy Act 1 - Mission 5
Marauder Medium Act 2 - Mission 2 Paid Acc Only
Viral 106 Hard Act 2 - Mission 5 Paid Acc Only
Collective Hard Act 1 - Mission 9
Guardian Hard Act 2 - Mission 3 Paid Acc Only
Kal-Zul Hard Not playable
Dark Marauder Hard Not playable

Terran / A.miner should be easy, but have the higher upkeep ships... while Terran income isnt as high as other empires... i`ll admit the terran food producers really do got a better income. Only advanage terran have over other races is their border space.

A.miner is suppose to be easy like Terran, but A.miner are the server`s easily rich players meeting the supply / demand of the server for minerals, goods. Then A.miner can also tax at a much higher rate than any other race.

Collective should be easier than Mara, but really i find playing collective to be more challenging cause of all the negative modifiers in planets / race. I actually think Mara is easier to play than collective is, but this should be turned around.

Marauder should be hard but easier than guardian... and if you ask me their on the same level, but i never really played Mara so someone else can speak up on their behalf.

Guard should be the next hardiest race, and its always been a rough race, but been getting easier lately with the better and faster ships, plus the nerfing of other race ships(build rate wise).

Viral should be the hardiest race, and we all know it aint

------------------------
Races / mission level required speaks nothing to how the hardness of each race should be.

The argument that a race is supposed to be hard doesn`t seem to really affect viral...I don`t see it being hard at all.

I didnt call any1 anything.. Im just saying hb never as.sume.. Lol.. Fyi.. Im working as of right now.. And i believe i said i juz wanna my counter.. Zzz.. And of coz to make things interesting.. Though the staff will get a headache..

Maru is not supposed to be as hard as guard or viral if im not wrong.. But i believe theres more guards and virals in almost every server..

Sorry for slipshod answer.. Im working.. Sorry..

well both maru and coll are supposed to be hard to play if I remember correctly... so it shouldnt be easy to make a huge income. If you want to be a high PR player you need to put in a lot of effort, but ofc it is doable.

I think a major problem is the food market... its always to low to make a living on unless your a large food producer. There is no incentive or long term income that collective / Maru make a good living on without extremely hard work. And not being able to explore and fewer targets cant help this fact either.

You can say there is no demand for Maru/Collective on the markets. I bet if you give them both races INDUSTRY +modifiers they might make a come back and put us some goods on the market lol. Cause really sell food less than 8, thats a small income with negative modifiers.

Then what? Loyalty to playing a race, i don`t get it, pls explain....

And why do you want incentives for not restarting?

Don`t really get why you call me an *bleep* just for asking those questions, and then proceed to not answering them at all?

If conformity is what u looking at.. Im not looking at that..

Maybe purely i just want my counter.. And this is the first time im sticking to a race for more than a year.. So dont get me wrong there.. Theres a reason why as.suming starts with the first 3 letters.. And so far only hb is not doing that..

Cheers..
E EvilLoof
erm why do we need more incentives for people to not restart????? loyalty to what, conformity?
C Crack
Ishy.. Thats rt server.. Im also in 3 tb server.. Zzz..

Hb..im not asking for stronger ship.. Just an incentive for loyalty eg like a paid ship.. Though not as strong.. Just another option considering its 10 stack instead of the ol` 6.. Im not asking for that option to be implemented straight away.. Just giving out my wild idea..

My account in rt is not entirely the reason.. Just so that when one attack and then change race.. At least he will lose out on that loyalty ship..

Crack, it would not be advisable, as it would make the older empires even stronger and the newer empires even weaker in comparison. The benefit of having a mature empire is that one gets to build up infra research, collect decent planets, and artifacts, etc.

Get outta hereee!

To keep things interesting.. Is it possible for those who have stick to terran and aminer for a certain period of time eg 730 days, to be given an additional ship.. For the loyalty to their race.. Maru will get 2 though.. None for guardian.. Viral and collective to be able to capture after the same period of time they have stick to their race..

Just a wild idea..

coll isnt fine as is they have no big ship = slow build rate. maru has pyth and d.angel
O OpvsDei
i remember thresher being amazing against herc...did that change lol?
S Sadistic{}Interns
Loof is 100% Correct - I would gladly sacrifice the eel, ray, manta, piranha and USELESS Thresher for another Cap ship.

Also, Maru is plenty fun to play but just needs patience... Maybe some updates BW and staff??
E elemental
i agree with opvs. maru and coll are just fine, all they need is more players
O OpvsDei
Maru is just fine as it is...it just takes a lot of patience. same for coll i believe. although loof got a point with the small maru ships, not that useful!

@Accord - make an event in which you put your fert at stake for maru empires :)
E EvilLoof
alternately make those small ships no retal so they at least would be neat for dummies :)
E EvilLoof
wouldn`t mind having eel, ray, manta, piranha, thresher deleted for BIG ship, something on par with a lictor, herc or any guard ship for that matter
