VM in top 5, plus issues/ideas

nice to hear EE. Added Fed war themes and Fed activities I think will help with more active fighting and help start on the restoring of needed players.

EE in saying that i meant to send u a few prototype missions. i keep forgetting i do it shortly

This all sounds really really good.

dig times will be split into 4 times equally spaced hours apart, race missions will be rewrote/added, new ships have been done, just holding out for a better system to upload them all at once with new research requirements changed in tandem. fed war needs to be reworked all together as do fed and what feds purpose really is

In a way i like the idea that 100% fleet is removed when VM`ing... It removes the annoying top 5 campers you cant do anything about.

I`ve also experineced quite a lot of times building for another empire at high PR, just to realize minutes before being able to hit that the empire went into VM. Often this is what people do if they wanna UW and ranks are taken over. But i dont really think VMing in this situation and waiting for a better time to continue building the UW fleet is adding something good to the game.

1 more dig times
2. race missions
3. new ships (last thing as dig times i think could be changed easier than that.)
4. fed war more bonous or calulator of ways to win. eg fed war lock for a week most planets wins? then u get rewards for that if u winning fed

vacation mode take away all fleet regardless of rank

I have no Problem making it so VM removed 100% of your fleet. so that would be the solution for that

I`m not too affected by the top 5 VMing because 90% of the time I can`t climb high enough anyway but I would like counters to remain active even if someone VMs.

I find it annoying when I get hit a few times by the same empire and then a day later I find they are in a massive VM...

I don`t think VMing in the top 5 is a real issue at all. Nothing special about the top 5 except you get the 2x bonus. If anything It could be used at a strategic purpose. If you`re fighting for the top 5 you can get some people to base up really high, VM and take your enemies 2x ability away if they don`t already have it from a fed war.
Now VMing in general should be modified. You shouldn`t be able to VM for 7 days then get to hide behind 24 hours of dp with a fleet that`s ready to hit people. VMing is good when you can`t play but should not give you a hand up in fighting. I think a easy fix to most VMing problems can be fixed if you have to disband all ships before you can go into VM or going into VM makes you lose all your ships...this include starbases and scouts.
Alternative to this is make empires go to 1500 pr until VM is over.
