Future Plans for GC..

"Pay peanuts, get monkeys" Ummmmm....now that will really make me want to sort coding out for you Stephen...How to make friends and influence people right?!

I have sat and debated out going paid for 3mths now, but why should i when no effort is being put into the game apart from what the Guides/Admin and moreso the players themselves.

The excuses(some valid...ie pneumonia) are being thrown at us constantly. But how the hell can u forget the DM?? This is your business...you make money from this....this is how you pay for your wife and kids and house and car.

How dare you just FORGET. That is lame beyond belief.

PB

huh?!

dont know about the rest but im getting sick of these news events telling us about why update isnt here yet whats this like the 5th one lol they all say the same thing nothing important. sorry update isnt here yet but money and people problems we are working on it. i think these news posts are the very reason people are mad about it, makes people think that your getting close to having an update you should just make one news post about this just say update will be here when it gets here and probably wont be anytime soon. short simple and honest

*applauds Maraudian`s edit as well =)

rofl at Maraudian`s edit

miners dont need more mineral income , minerals just need a smaller cap to stop people hoarding more than even a UW atempt would need :/

* kicks BLARG for his crude wording

So begins another thread about what should change, but never will...

Stephens logic has always been a mystery to me. Now I`m just plain stumped. He forgets about GC and lets countless dollars slip away from him. I played UC (I recently quit) and from what I read in the Update forum there stephen ignores the major problems there to.

Sometimes I wonder how he got peope to play in the first place.

the mineral generation is fine on All servers but rt i think, so if possible only for rt, if not another solution should be made.

I agree on the upkeep, the shipcost should of course be lowered then thou (i know that dont mean alot to RT virals) but on slower servers it would make maru ships completely useless, as it now i often dont use maru ships due to the ship cost, often its actually cheaper for me to use hercs, flysch etc.. than pyth angel, but on faster servers upkeep means everything and cost is not important....i fear that a potential update could easy end up ignoring turn based / rt differences as that. especially now that stephen have admitted he dont have anyone working on the update.

3 quick minor updates would help the server allot and i don`t think it requires much time to do

make all reversed ships upkeep 1 to .75 power to upkeep ratio
triple collective build rates
Increase miner mineral gneration to +3000%

this should spark some action on the servers and buy some time till a more comprehensive update can be made

is stephen actually paid to play uc all day

" Just Phoned Stephen, he forgot ... GC DM Cancelled this week, my apologies on behalf of him. I`ll try and get him to give Admins the Start Button next time. "

sums up any update quite well

Stephen`s list of GC `improvements`

1. Make background pink.
2. Change all pictures to people drinking yoohoo.
3. All ship names changed to types of ice cream.
4. Make all shields for all ships -100%.
5. Let Blarg Hug And Kiss the server while laughing at the fact that Africa thinks he really cares about the update, and even if he did that it would be a worthwhile update.
