this has been going on for over half a year now.
If a fed actually only has 3 active people, or 2, or just 1...THEN TEAM UP INSTEAD OF SPREADING!!! then you might get stronger as a group and be active aswell, what are the leaders good for anywayz if they don`t want to make a fed stronger!!!

and yea it happened to BoC/BK aswell, all the wats against them, and yes to Matrix, PG, IG, and others aswell, BUT THEY WERE TOPFEDS AT THAT TIME, or coming close to it!!!, not just 1 fed at the 4th place.

BLOODYweak Leadership has made ultra dull!!!
DO something!!!!
you are all great leaders at getting powerfull, but how many new players have you thought lately?? given attention to to help him get stronger, keeping your own new and low powered fedmembers active by talking to them??? well...what I hear is that there are enough feds where it`s only about the high-pr-players...with leaders who lost track of the little people...(so not ALL leaders are bad, just some...)

please explain me why the massive war against TPO is 1 of the most Xciting things happening on ultra next to the endless UW-preparations atm?????

yes to 3 UW's by the biggest players!!!
They don't attack eachother anywayz, so why not just let the 3 bigshots run up like they normally do...do a uw one after another, and reset this game ourzelves!!!

but no...probebly no1 who would volunteer that.
Granddaddy DK could do it, but is always waiting for someone else first, labratz could do it, but is satisfied with what he has and stopped to play for real like he used to )same as darwin`.
Brumen is waiting in vmode for something new to happen...and those guyz should be the planetleaders?

ow and smiley...yes we are active...but as you might have noticed...even with all those fedwars clusters are very rare to get...even from us...with max borders me and some others plundered clusters allready out of boredom by the double pr attacks, so STILL mostly borders are taken from us and STILL we have gained our planetcount at a good level...

the server is scr3wed up and the people who can make the difference...don`t...simple as that

No to total reset!

Yes to UW!

Well yeah, lets stop attacking those who are active (pervs) and remove the attack-possibility from the game. Then everyone can love eachother and everyone can get max cash and minerals....

This is a fight-game, and fighting is good.

I just started to make some attacks again and have got 4 messages in 3 days where people are angry at me for attacking them. What kind of game has this turned into?

Let everyone loose 3 borders each 24 hours they are not attacking anyone - then we can get some changes in this game :)

shadowlands...you get my point wrong...

I don`t care about how many people attacking us, I care about the game, the server.
That is why I can only disapprove the way things are going...true the game is messed up, but none of you make it better, people rather go in vmode then fight.

Othger feds are almost just as active as us, logg in just as often, but fight less...don`t believe me, check the stats of my members and see the difference compaired to others (battles won/lost and empire age). compaired to the bigshots who haven`t even won a 1000 battles in 2-3 years time...

But NOTHING can count as an excuse for all the hostile feds if you look at every feds activitylevel (members who DO logg in but hide), too much kissing buts upthere...if you`re bored, then leave spacefed with a bang, without a bang, or plunder everything, don`t just hang up there hoping for any movement from others while everyone is fighting the same fed!!!!

People are talking about a reset of spacefed, that that is good, but forget that they could also burn up their own resources instead to even the scores, but everyone is too chicken to sacrefice even the slightest bit of their empire, cash, minerals, or artifacts.
Some people simply should leave if they don`t want to chance themselves...

well if you screen out all the people I mentioned now you have about 40 people fighting about 15 active people so the odds are more or less 3 to one rather than more than 10 to 1 as you make it seem. Not only that but many of your players are protected by their login times i seen only 2 or 3 TPO members on average and my members only the same people or a few different ones on occasion. So if you calculate that out for the remaining 40 the number drops even further.

Well, eclips, the tabbies had the same problem before, as I recall, soon after I joined the fed. Everybody was at war with us. You really have three options...

1)Get your rear ends handed to you
2)Prove that you`re worth the attention and fight back in style
3)Split your fed up so as to alleviate the pressure

The tabbies did the second option when it was us under the press. I believe that your fed is more than capable of doing the same.

lol, I accidentely clicked on 'this is the answer', so the topic was gone, but with 'last page' I was able to surf back and still see my story and what's been posted by you and someone else...so started this topic again and answered your questions allready in the mainpost

personally i think you should remove everyone in VM, or NP from your calculations any inactive members or people hovering at rediculously high power ratings that make no difference and it doesn`t look half as bad. And was my first post here deleted or did I go crazy and never post at all?

E eclipsOP

29/04/2007 · 02:11 AM #12

species, I checked over a period of time and noticed that even the players in vmode mostly logg in every day, so it can't be that they really need it...too much abuse with vmode...that's what makes us interesting as we don't go in vmode that often as those others...can you imagine??? topplayers...'vets' who haven't even won 1000 battles on ultra in over 3, 4 years??

well, eclips for a test of how active a fed is, you should not only count people logging in for the last 24 hours, but also remove ppl with more than 24h dp. Then, the even now bad statistics looks a LOT worse....

Its no wonder, everyone pics on the fed with the by far most active players.

I personally think, its not the server, which is dull, its the people.

For example when people are hovering for years in the 100 mil pr range and dont have any guts to try an uw because they fear to loose their >200 planets well, then the server accumulates much to much wealth that any other can actively do something. That somehow crimps the last piece of fun (and i didnt even start with the frequently encountered co.wardish behavoir of much to many).

Its just sad.

with 2 fedwars against them the tabby's are doing fine, leaving just 1 other war for the 2 other feds that are above TPO....weird right??

/me thinks that the tabbies are quite active

UW`s would help...for awhile that is...then it starts all over again.

Every server is dull indeed, and I too am for a reset of spacefed the way smiley explaned.

And what my problem is is that ultra is dull, nothing happens, nobody is doing anything.
And also the wars against my fed...I`ve never seen it on spacefed that a number 4 fed would have 7 fedwars against them while the 3 feds above us only have 3 wars against them IN TOTAL.
This seriously takes the bit fun we still have away bit by bit.
And that we are `oh so active`, is because we try to keep it interesting for our members, getting newones, train them, organise competitions. But on the other hand...there are many more feds with the same activitylevel as us, even bigger feds.

at this moment KoA has about 60% of its members logged in within the last 24 hours.
BK has around 60-70% active in their fed aswell.
tabby`s...75% active today.
TPO...75% aswell.
wolfs dragoons...66% active...

so as you see, their are many other people who are active, only problem is most of them do logg on every day, but are hiding in vmode...why can`t any of you get those people active again in battle even while they logg in every day???
instead of bashing on my fed, people should concentrate on how to get their feds more active, not just about winning or losing clusters (well...borders...) but by getting real wars back in this game again, break alliances from the stoneages, and get this server rocking a bit again...

I think two-three UWs from the biggest empires will do the job...

S Smiley

Agrees with Cutter and Donster....

If you see on planetcount on active empires I guess pervs are the top ranked fed? Try to check! Anyway, Ultra is dead and have been dead for a few years. I dont think the server can solve its own problems - so I still vote for a server-reset. Reset all accounts, all feds - all artis - everything. Then remove the elements of the game that have made it worse and add some new elements that can make it interesting. I am sure it will be more playing and more active empires around then - and it will clean out most of us inactive "vets" that are just staying around...

I am with Donster on this..
What is the problem eclips?
Mebbe you do have too many fed at war with you.
But the turn servers dullness can be seen by clicking "list fed"
Pathetic, just pathetic.

And as to helping new players:
All the feds on all the turn servers I am in (or lead) actively recruit new players.
I don`t play much.. but I ALWAYS extend my help via PM to new players in the feds.

mostly I help them out for a week or 2 and then they stop playing lol, mebbe thats my fault :)

But seriously, this game can not compete with mainstream online games, and SFGC lost its base long ago for reasons we all know about.

Sucks, but there it is.

I feel your pain eclips, but there are other games out there you can try.

I`m confused as to the point... Is it that everyone has declared fed war on you / your fed? Or that Ultra is simply dull, which it is. As a matter of fact, all the servers are dull. I remember when there were consistently 200-300 players online. Now-a-days, it`s consistently in the low 100s. It just isn`t fun anymore for most I guess - get borders, lose border, get borders, lose borders...
