As for UW`s by NPCs, the reason for them is to liven the game if too long of a period goes without an attempt at an UW. We went along stretch without a UW attempt after the last successful UW, so the admins set up two NPC fleets that if you remember Kxx were never set in motion because of SexyCandyMans UW attempt precluded the NPCs. SCM`s UW failed and there was no game reset. The Admins I beleave do not see the need for a so called reset, and I don`t regard it as a reset. I`ll say it again. an UW only benifits the big fish that are well established. A trillion credit empire will rebound far more quickly from an successful UW then an empire of 10 bil.
The less the catastrophic circumstances for an aspiring empire, the further up the totem pole he /she may climb. Hence that`s why those already at the top author and support UW`s. They don`t want the competition.
This was part of a discussion held on another forum and I thought it would be interesting for the general forum.
