well yes just a random top of the head thing , i have a million and two idea`s to make this more apealing , and i think its a major thing that needs improving , it needs to apeal , this itself is an event anyone can hold , not just an npc

its an event anyone can hold and everyone can enjoy , but nobody wants to , why ? because it doesnt apeal , the reward of just being reborn any race and trashing everyone else ( although i think thats sexy ) just dont apeal those long term players

so i was wondering what crazy and far fetched idea`s and hopefully awesomly sweet idea`s that could be added , you guys have on the matter

some top of the head things is rather than being revived any race , 1+ month paid status coupon

federation in question gets fed war bonus on all feds ( yes silly and unbalanced but it did pop in my head till i mulled over the big picture of abuse )

federation in question loses alot less than the less it has already

activater can revive with infra in an i tech for there disposal ( yes this requires i tech and some form of crazy code that could enable everyone to restart with infra and we dont like that , but if smooth its not too bad an idea ... although its uc like and imbalanced... )

well thats all i can be bothered typing , would like to hear and discuss more idea`s on the matter ^^

oh and no i dont think i can activate asmodai right now unless any GC staff wish to contact me and help run one , but i was thinking of activating a normal DM , 1-3 hours each , fed with most planets OR top 5 empires with most planets ... or both , ill be willing to hold 4 of them but with my weird work shifts weekends will be tough

you know it wouldnt take much to turn this game around, the uw benefits would be nice, but terran does need attention, kalium and emperor are a must. emperor defence mods and made no retal.

im not worried about viral upkeep, guard build rates are an effective balancing routine.

need more interfed support to allow fed mates to work closer together for comon goals, this will allow fed members to have a greater sence of teamwork aside from the battle field.

and some uw benifits but thats about all

Yeah, once we get past the things that Maraudian has the ability to implement himself, it is all academic. We can still dream though.

And maybe tweaking mow and empereur before changing the REd list for virals before doing anything else? That will finish a long process imo... With a few more tweaks from anfit and mara the game may be revived :P

The only thing that can be done is putting D class to dark maru and being uncapturable that way.

Maybe one ship per race per UW rofl. Max 5 ships(1 from all races). That will be incentive to do UWs many times :D But, stephen won`t do any of that, so why do we bother?

I like the idea with getting the option to choose 1 ship to RE. Tourm spam as terran... Drools

Ooooh, those ideas look cool, DrK. Maybe in the RE feature, you could choose one ship type from one race only, with a short list of candidates- one from Collective, one from Guardian, maybe even one from Dark Maru. For races that can`t RE, this would be a very powerful incentive. Care would have to be taken in the selection of ships available to make sure nothing too crazy would be given away.

So, option 1 might look like this:
In the aftermath of the wreckage you discovered the remains of ancient technology still intact. Choose a ship to Reverse-Engineer:
1. Guardian Ship: Tourmaline
2. Collective Ship: R. Sloop
3. Viral 106 Ship: V. Borrelly (without capture feature for races w/o capture?) impossible , its the ship code that captures , not the race , asmodai is terran ( perfect example )
4. Marauder Ship: D. Bullhead
5. A. Miner Ship: M. Chlor

Those are just random ship ideas though. Might have to take Viral off the table entirely to avoid the problems with capture and the big risk of unbalancing the races by giving out the viral`s main ship. With no UWs on GC for several months, we need some sort of incentive to get people to try them.

npc is just that, npc a non playable race, it would unbalance the game way to much, but to be able to reverse engineer one of the npc ships wouldnt be a bad option. how about when you set one off you have the following list come up for options
1: in the after math of the wreckage you discovered the remains of ancient technology still intack { choose a ship to rev }
2: now that the galaxy has been wiped clean you have discovered new technology { choose research to move 5 points }
3: now that the raging battle is over your federation claims its prize { all fed memebers recieve x10 regalo

or something to this nature

ohhh... and to attract more to 1st option, make it like... 3 times successful UWs will give them to play more exotic races... who knows... 5 times managed to blow the UW, they can play KalZul perhaps... or the new ultimate race... lol..
V VALJA

why don`t we have options to choose after a successful UW?

for example... you can choose either getting reborn to another race and lose everything then can try to do another UW as many as it can be... and of course, glories rather than glory... lol...

OR...

stick to the same thing, keep everything and get the glory but... no more UW... unless, it can ONLY be done a year after that...

well... IF it`s going to be implemented, i don`t mind going for the 2nd one... :)

if only UWs destroyed 90% of artifacts and 90% of infrastructure on planets.... That would be lovely...

if only I could keep some of my research after the blast I`d be doing it twice as often....
V VALJA

i don`t see the point of setting up then blown up successfully UW and lose everything is an attractive option in SFGC...

oh well... that what i feel like giving my point of view for now... perhaps i`ll add some more later... :)

UW holder successefull UW keeps 50% of research would be fine

Guardian race players with their name on a special list like winners list, if they manage to kill a UW, or get some kind of a prize would be fine

federation in question losing allot less, would be unbalancing, point proven by M|K slow server, UW activated and successful after 72 hours of another one and another one not long after =P

I-tech, even if a copy of UC, would be good in GC, some old players need to change their research cause of newbie mistakes lol

hey maraudian can D class be put in Dark Marauders ship list? that would be sweet so virals wouldn't get maru D class like they can't get aminers G class xD

*runs from the angry viral mob coming for him

not long before i became admin and worked on the shiplist , G and D class uncapturable was my suggestion , for game balancing, the admins in question did this to G class and not D , im sure there were reasons for this but yes its something i still want to do

I think their should be more of a reward for the entire fed that succesfully pulls of the weapon, bringing the fed memebers closer together and at the same time closing the noose around the fed in question from surrounding feds. the tech idea is cool, but the fed bonus against allother feds is a bit unbalnced lol

there more passionate when there short , more skill and tactics are required to leap to the top , you cant sit and research in np for hours , nuts how many botters i did catch in our last death match , even after telling them how easy it was for me to catch due to small population o.o * sigh *

Concerning the DM idea... why just a few hours ? why not let it run for a week ? I`m hardly online during the weekends so that will suck big time for me !!!!
