We can`t just permanently increase the current build rate 2-3 times of what they currently are.

If we did that, even c3 empires could defensively stack at a decent PR on turn based servers.

Is it a lot of work to make permanent? Maybe. Does it require Stephen? NOPE. Will it improve the game? Heck yea. Do the players want it? Yes. And does it change the balance of the game in any way? NOOOOO

In fact, when build rates were temporarily increased to 4x their normal rate, you got overwhelmingly positive response from players.

So my question is, why not make a permanent universal build rate increase?

BadWolf:

Well why don`t we put this up for a vote:-

Voting choices

1) 2-3x increase of buildrate under a 1 week trial
Would apply to all servers would need to hear the good and bad for all sides of this

2) Leave it as is due to implications due to x
Please include reasons if you would.

3) Some other option
Be detailed

same here its not like they won`t build faster then every one but the gap won`t be as extreme closer to the gap it has now

actually, i want to change my vote, since i agree with brotherhood. 2x for guards, and 3x for every1 else

Well lets 3x all races but guard. 2x guard and it should be bout even. I think this is a great idea atm. Helps maxxed empires spend some money faster and need to sell mins for a change.And really it can help newer empires due to less turns needed to build target fleets. Just because you can build 5mill pr worth of ships it dont obligate you to do so. Think it would be great for ALL speeds so my vote is 1.

2)

the differences in buildrates between the races will only become bigger.

let`s take it to the test for a week or 2, get feedback from different races and see if they experienced inbalance-issues

but a 2 or 3 week trial might be better so some vmers and other people can try it and then you get a better idea of long term how it will go

I love this idea. This would definately help the richer empires more than the poorer empires. But who cares about the newbies anyways?

1)
Upkeep won`t change, so I don`t think balance will be adversely affected.
It should also make stacking stronger, while making spammers look as dumb as ever.

the problem with the 2x or 3x increase is that it would make it even harder to keep up with cap spammers.... instead of beating you by maybe 20k pr a turn, they will beat you by 40k a turn.... but i think the benefits outweigh the risks, so i vote:

1) 2x

I vote 2, don`t see the need for a trial when the effects are obvious.

Also, I wish to note the last time this "event" happend it was abused by it being sudden with no end date and some people used btcs clearly to just take the ranks, which to me means nothing, but to others its like everything. As much as you like to trial it out I feell this would just get abused for an UW or for a larger pr gap to UW rather than it mean for large cluster empires trying to stack, which is a laugh since most just rather spam anyhow.

I vote 1) 2x

Of course the 1 week trial would necessary

2x is just fine.

We have to consider max power though, max power can`t really be raised, and with huge build rates, it would make getting to max take a lot less time.

Yes to 1 - but lets keep the build rates to 2x for the trial...
