GC Discussion

can we have alternative ways to get payed accounts or maybe view adds to get the special currency (whatever it is called) to unlock the special projects?

Or at least a fourth free race or new system? Like take that spazial hing from GC and make it a system? or something new like space dragons with an asteroid system or space stations?

Oh, here`s a little QoL change I`d personally like: Can we get the "turns-to-be-spent" to automatically reset to max when digging, like with research?

That doesn`t have much of an impact on the long term value of the game, but it would be a nice, small little change.

@Asmodean: That makes sense. Like I said earlier, I love their commitment, and I hate that they don`t get to be fully compensated for it :(

@FOD stop spamming ships.

The admins are willing. They simply have very little available time to work with. SO, my understanding here is that they want to sift through the ideas and figure the best ones to implement that uses their time wisely.

So, probably the big question here: What do the admins WANT to do to this game? Because no matter what suggestions are made, they`re only as viable as the admins are willing.

@Outsidthbox: I really think he`ll see your post, so an extra messenger probably isn`t needed.

can someone please tell fistfulofdollars to stop spamming ships here?

Also no.

ALL the races ships need to be redone, not just focusing on one particular race or ship aspect.. Im sure an 11 range A. Hoko could be quite a menace, it does that just fine with 10 range. And used properly, its fine just the way it is weapon and mod-wise as well.

Chlorite could use a tweak I suppose... not a huge one. Add 100 hull and call it good.

Message (or question) is too short

Aspha Miners need some tweaks and I`m going to suggest some changes because they are my favorite race to fight with in all honesty.

Chlorite needs more hull and more defensive statistics to it without losing the highest damage ship in the miner arsenal.

Sapphire is a "Destroyer" with 6 range and nice shields. I believe this ship could use a rework to give Aminers more options when attacking.

The Energy weapon is essentially pointless on this ship. Miner should have a G class ship that is useful against guardian ships.

@FIST, the thing is, there`s a reason they left in the first place. If we don`t have something quality/updated for them to come back to, then we`re just spamming them.

Can`t hurt to just Email blast people who would still be interested in playing, but just don`t have it on the top of their minds anymore. If it brings back just a couple old players... worth it.

Lotta stuff.. ship descrips for ALL ships, missions for races without, new missions for those that do, ship and econ rebalancing to account for the low player base, some market tweaks such as a little bug that appears next to the Market link when a new post appears...

Graphical updates such as ship and planet images, rework of the control interface to look more modern, make the forum actually look like it belongs on spacefed, link the GC and UC forums for us GC folks` trolling pleasure

I could go on...

i think each race needs story missions like act 1 2 and 3 and then also daily quests that keep you coming back on a daily basis, maybe after 30 days of doing daily`s you get a ship only gain able in that month just as an example

OH, as for Ankaar`s suggestion about carry over when restarting, I think a restart should carry a percentage of what was gained-because if it is a set amount, those who have max infra would lose a lot more % wise than someone who doesn`t. But if it is a % of infra researched, at least they would carry over enough to make it worth their while.

I like Ankaar`s posts, very good info. With more and more apps that have graphics, missions, animation and high replay abilty, this game (if not for the ones already hooked) would have been dead as a door nail years ago. I agree with him on the missions- every race needs them, and I think more missions the better. And not just to keep going with missions if you have a paid, but literally enough missions to be able to do them for a long time. Missions like "collect enough of a certain type" or "attack and win (x) amount of battles" and you get some colonies, or something worth your while. "Defeat an empire or NPC over (x) PR, or "win with (x) amount of losses... the choices are endless. When doing missions, you get a screen that pops up with an animated video of your missions giver or commander, or whomever the storyline goes for, with them actually giving you the mission. Choices as to how you want to do some missions would give a player some latitude as to how they want to play- instead of the arbitrary must get to level 20 commercial, say, pick your infra type and get to level 20. I know a lot of these suggestions will take a lot of overhauling and would probably be better to start fresh, but to be successful things need to be overhauled.

revert stacking back to 6 ships instead of 10
