We have finished testing server effects. If you wish to see more effects please post suggestions here :)

2009-09-03

Ship build bug fixed. Bug is caused due to decimal calculation. Ships like Tyr has a build rate of 3.58 which the system truncates to 3.6, however for calculations it still refer back to the 3.58 therefore causing problems for ships that has more than 1 decimal point. Do post here if there is any other problems

2009-09-02

Please report here if you get any problems
Comments/suggestions/feedback is appreciated

2.2 * 45 = 99

20% of 90 is 18. You should have been able to build 108.

Ships who had decimal build rate was fine too. Livid is 2 per turn usually, with the build rate it was 2.2

Normally you can build 90 Livid. Now with the 20% You could build 99 Livid

Just a side note for futur use and such....

My buildrate reverse back to original.. no more effect?

And my buildrates show as being the same old values while I am out of DP. I think that the new buildrates were there while I was still in DP though, since when I was first looking into what I was going to build, and saw the new rates then. Or maybe they changed after my attack, not sure.

Don`t know if this is the proper place for this, but I counter attacked keltikelti on ultra, wiped out his fleet minus one bullhead, got three planets, and he is still out of DP. I did not lose any ships, but somehow he has more PR after the battle than before it.

Before the battle:
05/09/09 11:59 AM
oddity 247,657 keltikelti 71,984 Win

After:
Empire Race Planets Power Rating
keltikelti Marauder 11 97,853

Yall do realize this isn`t a `lets ask stephen to do this and that for us`, It`s a discussion regarding the changes he made effecting planetary income and ship build rate, so be nice and stop pestering him =p

72 hour limit for all people coming of vaction were they cant vacation again will make people vacation for onlythe rigth reasons real problems instead of no clusters are low so many counters i will vacation or plunder

or if people abuse the 7 day day vacation mode 3 times in a rw they lose a cluster as punishment

ok i will be radical for fun but a seriious point

decrease in turns on ultra or lenght of time get max turns longer

slow faster time get turns

now the radical point

close slow and ultra simple because both servers are well dead or merge ultra with fast keep normal and rt and compensate empires from those servers with added infrasture planets or artifacts

i would suggest using race modifiers instead of planetary mods if it is indeed intended to effect all income paths..

it would also allow you to add Infrastructure Maintenance changes to the effects..

also i suggest an effect to increase/decrease max turns as well.. ^^

@Stephen Hmmm... buildrates seem to be working perfectly at least for me

Isiael is it possible you had 30 turns but it just didn`t update until after you used 20?

However planetary income there`s only one income path that actually benefits from this in GC if i understand this right.. which is agriculture there`s no planetary commercial, tax, industry mods (unless you mean something else?) only population growth, agriculture, and mining...

In other words i believe the only people receiving any bonus from this are the ones making food due to their income actually being effected by planetary bonus.. hope this helps

I fourth the revision of dig times. That`s probably my number one choice for a revision. Thanks a lot Stephen!

i wish there to be a pr cap of either top 10 players added together on server and a limit on how high they can go or limit on pr built in a week to make game play harder

eg limit 10 mill per week u climb 10 mill pr get whacked down n then u lose ur planets

and 2nd to ensure planets morefree taken after 7 days vacation you MUST MUST not be able to vacation again to you have been out of dp

Firstly, thank you Stephen for showing the game some love =D

I haven`t noticed any change in tax, agri, or commercial income / production for any of the three races I play (Miner, Terran, Viral). I will look at CG and minerals later.

And I third the expansion of dig times so people all over the globe have an opportunity to dig.

Thank you Stephen, and i would like to second spudsvilles suggestion of expanded dig times that are more world friendly...
