Restart suggestion ?

I was wondering if starting races like Viral, Guardian ( Maybe Collective and Marauder ? ) could use some sort of " bonus " when restarting.

Let me explain;
Viral needs to RE ships from other races, but Marauder are getting quite rare ( I`ve counted 2 maybe 3 active on RT ? ) And probably less on TB. I know once they are set up, they are nice but spending months trying to aim for 1 or 2 empire all day and 1 of them is in high pr ( Opvs on RT ) it`s kinda hard.

Maybe some starting help to get their RE ships from "x" race ?

Guardian needs loyalty OR tons of gordo. Not all of us can wake up in the morning to dig ( US/Canada I honestly don`t know about the other country ). In the past, it was all about to hunt for targets and hope to get a planets or clusters with loyalty on it but now with the recent activity of the game, it`s getting hard ( Gotta hope for older people to go innactive and "kill them" which lower the player count even more..kinda suck

a very low land planets with loyalty ( not the max but enough to give guard a boost ? ) We would have to pick between a bigger cluster or one with loyalty.

Collective/Marauder needs target to survive and food market, easy enough to do but you really gotta pay attention to the rank and your dp timer and even targets ( i had my every day targets or i could not really get my "easy" borders. ( Not much of a BIG problems but still one )

Maybe a " bigger " money rewards for these two ?

I know this is sorta a bad idea or could be a good one but if someone want to restart, they really gotta pick between terran and miner to have it " easy " Guardian and Viral says it`s a hard race, I agree but with our player count it would be nice to get some help with those hard races =/ . Maybe thoughts and idea ? Or if staff have something planned

oooh sounds good. I think your sort of right EE about taking them from virals, but what if you want a ship that other virals didnt want... I vote for maru/ collective event that gives young players a good reason to restart and play as maru or col for a few weeks

Aside from that i have finished work on changing start up resource and planet`s for each race...infact it`s been done for quite some time. it`s just a matter of stephen giving me one last detail for artifacts and then actually imputing the code BW has had wrote up for a while so that we no longer have to do new player bonuses.

Hit virals for your ships, scout, then wipe their V class then go after what ever it is you want from them

a few regular NPCs wouldnt be a bad idea...

In my opinion they should revert borr back to its 2006 spam form, give guards a u.spaz homeworld (lol who cares we cant have 50 raists and archs floating around the ranks anyways) and maru doesnt really need anything

even 1/2 npc of each race adds more targets and starting virals get another place get there ships and the guard npc`s could have fully loyal clusters no matter the size or 2 or 3 npc`s that can use all ships and have random fleets and planets on them

Guardians are naturally poor... im pretty well off i think now. Been a guard for 3 days, been fighting some and selling ore. i got K class left to do and Cyril and still workin on housing. Been spending most of my time exploring trying to build up some nice clusters.

It doesnt take months...unless its TB. The lack of activity is a killer there unfortunately.

I have always agreed that a game that is in Real Time should not REQUIRE months to get your ships done.... So yes maybe a few npc maru`s would be very helpful. It has always been my position that you need to incintivise the maru and col race more but most disagree because they can become to powerful.. Figure out a way to help them start only and nt effect long term and we are good!

I`m aware of this all wolf, I just restarded from Collective and I was pretty fine at it. The above is to make it more enjoyable to restart. As for Viral spending months to get your last 3 ships is quite annoying. And for guardian I know we dont need food market but would be nice to be established without spending half a year on research.

I was very successful as collective. In the first few days, you need to hunt low pr and use plunder bonus to gain cash quickly. maru is the same way.

As for both, after you get established, you farm.

Unfortunately, the dynamic of this game has shifted such that it is not easily feasible to play as maru or coll. This is not to say that it cannot be done.

Guardians need not worry over the crashed food market. They are tax and make their money from stealing high loyalty colonies and clusters.

Virals have to RE ships. The lack of maru makes this difficult, but not impossible. There are still enough maru.
