yes theres been a few ultimate weapons recently so its not the best timing for this , but the fact there has been a few recently should have opened alot of eyes to a fun area of the game that nobody really shows much interest in , my belief is its too hard for the petty gains you get , so for a long time i came up with idea`s possible for an Admin to do.

below is a list of current and extra features that can all be implimented , are balanced , and greatly increase the apeal of launching an Ultimate Weapon :-
1. Name in hall of fame
2. Restart Any Race
3. 90% damage to all none fed members

4. Carry one ship research over from the race you activate it to the race you become ( Excluding Guardian ) i also feel this idea is great for stacking ( more UW`s = another research + past ones so eventually you could have your own lucas empire )

if this idea is to be added although ive already spent a extreemly long time investigating and the scariest thing imaginable is A miners with D angels / pyth , players must know that if any form of impossabilities exploits or loopholes are found the ships can be removed , however i have tested this and doubt it can go wrong , lucas himself can easily be beaten by stacks or none stacks at any power by any race etc

5. a super/perfect planet reward for your new empire , the choice is yours , the planet must be single not cluster ( for example 10k Barren / fertile / Eden ) land size of the single planet can be discussed and even alter per gamespeed or w/e before being added.

6. artifact package , the contents of the package again is discussable for each gamespeed but an example would be ( 25 regalo / 10 BTC / 6 PCC )

Notes:
Gaurdians are excluded from 4. so G class from A miner also wont carry over.
virals only research is the scout
none exploration race cant explore with scout

Mara ppl were saying that the build rate would need to be dropped for them at the time and u didnt listen so I`m not completely wrong at all.
B Bran
The other incentives are enough to encourage that, and it`s not just one ship if they accumilate. I don`t even know why I am arguing to be honest I am not going to be playin long enough for it to affect me, but it would be nice to see this game survive a bit. Forget what I have said and just do wotever
D DrunkenMasters
Bran, I`d rather see empires with 200+ infra and max arties & 200k+ land go boom and disappear in exchange for 1 silly ship(RT&ultra). Or the big ones on TB too.
B Bran
Last thing u didnt listen to was the guardiian build rate for Emerald and corrundum. I`m just saying that number 4 favours the older players and it will further alientate new players which is not what we want is it?

Ive been asking Juju to do it for months so your completely wrong

and only stephen can do that eprussia , personally i think more projects ( fed related ) that all members of a fed have to donate to etc would greatly increase fed potential and fed war`s and fun of a fed in general
M MaraudianOP
if i dont listen bran please explain every action ive ever taken in the past , maybe ive not done what youve said asked or suggested, obviously there are reasons for that , but i do listen to everyone. your comment was simply saying dont rush 4 , as stated ive not rushed suggesting 4 before the public , ive tested every ship for every race using every poossability exploit loophole advantage and disadvantage and it took me a fairly long time , being confident with the results i have posted it for all to see be they like, dislike or agree, disagree

you comments reasoning was just lazy ( no offence ) , youve thought of one thing and posted it , i simply suggested you put some effort into jotting all the good and bad things down you can think of , feel free not to listen to me and just tell me to jog on and not be an arse ect in reply but that just shows you dont care and cant be assed.

whenever anyone makes suggestions for gc i always take the time to jot down & inform them of the good and the bad affects they would have on gc as a whole.

if you want me to take you seriously and listen directly to you over everyone else, put more effort into it :-/

if not dont call me an arse and tell me to jog on when i dont do the above
E EPrussia
i like this idea is there any thing happening with fed war ?
B Bran
Maraudian don`t be such an arse, I already said the other points are all good I`m just trying to point out what anyone with half a brain can see yes, but ur obviously not going to listen as usual so jog on.
B bipbippy
I had another idea, not so much a perk for the winning empire, but a bad thing that happens to the rest of the server should a UW be successful...

**Upon a successful UW, all Capsule Labs are destroyed.**
You wouldn`t lose any artifacts that you already have, but you would have to re-research the capsule lab to get it going again.


i already had this jotted down it is a nice idea , seems when your hit with a cap lab with only 1 planet it should be just as easy for a UW to have the same affect to it , however this isnt something an Admin can do.

having more maru and ollective`s would be good for me... more supply of foof which means lower prices..... would be nice for me since i`m taxer :P
M MaraudianOP
and those old empires now have new temptations for ships and will become new empires and do more etc

rather than finding one point which anyone with half a brain can point out , try jotting all the good and all the bad points down , share them between the rest for there good and bad points , the overall good points for these idea`s are well above the bad points , and the bad points arnt really bad , only bad one that was scary was indeed A miners with low upkeep ships , even that isnt a big deal
B Bran
it usually varies between old empires ye - making it even harder for new empires. This is the problem I have with it
B bipbippy
The people in control of the server varies over time anyway, not by who has successfully completed a UW...
B Bran
yes but the only people that can pull off the col or maru UW`s will be people that are part of a group that is in control of a server. Thus making the strong even stronger - it doesn`t help balance things imo
D DrunkenMasters
And that would be great incentive people NOT to go viral, but maru and collective. Will balance things out. Giving more UW tries too. A lot more fun for everybody.
D DrunkenMasters
Seriously talking, the idea is not that bad in general. There haven`t been many collective and maru UWs lately anyway(besides mine). So you shouldn`t be too worried about carrying mow or brig for coll, angel or pyth for maru. And someone does UW with coll or maru, well he deserves it. As miner is the easiest race to UW, it has the worst ships to carry over. So it is fair enough imo :P
B Bran
u cant seriously go through with no.4 - just dont rush into that one please. The rest I would say to put in place whenever

Ive done everything and anything regarding 4. over the last 3+ months so its not exactly a rushed idea

Edited by Maraudian on 2008-02-09
D DrunkenMasters
Maraudian actually listened to a few of my ideas during the miner update.
A AGM94
Also if you feel that staff dont read your ideas feel free to pm with any you have, i may only a low level guide but i will read everything and comment back with my opinion. My opinion may not be right or even good but you will at least be able to debate it with me
M MaraudianOP
exactly as AGM said , maybe if you didnt suggest things i cant do or unthought out idea`s that i can do , ide push them forward for serious discussion ive done it in the past and still do , theres a fair lot of things been added since i became admin that were suggested by other people , only one i strongly pushed forward was build rate balancing
