2011-04-05 |  | New income stream idea? |  |
Admins have the ability to change race income modifiers, right?
Actually requires stephen but i`d like to see where this goes if needed i "can" get stephen to change race mods lol
Well, in this case why don`t we look into making tax a viable income source for collective?
What I mean by this - is give collectives something like a 0% modifier for tax. Currently, the modifier is set at -50%, which means that food has to be around 2 in order for tax to be break even in profit. At 0%, I haven`t done the calculations, but collectives should be able to make some decent money from taxing.
What are the implications for this? Well collectives can only grow food on individually assimilated planets. If they capture a large cluster C1/C2/C3, they can`t grow food on it. If this suggestion goes through, then perhaps collectives can use these captured clusters to tax their population, while growing their own food so they could be market independent (to an extent) with a high base PR.
This might add a very unique element to the game, and perhaps bring collective (which is a pretty uncommon race to be played) some unique challenges and opportunities for veteran players.

I have saw the joint-income idea proposed before. I strongly supported it back then, and I strongly support it now. It would make Collective more interesting and maybe get enough Collective out there that we can properly train to take them down.
Heck, if this gets implemented I might even return to Collective. I do miss the race. :) |

99+ day(s) ago | The best collective I know on rt asked me to fight to test our skills and to see how good I really was. He was awsome and fast but in four encounters I remained supream. I haven`t had problems with coll as a race but from what I hear mompy as coll can clean house on guards altho I don`t believe we have fought in years. |

99+ day(s) ago | Did you mean `well you fail enough on them` ? Just curious, not trying to put anyone down. |
ShadowKing
99+ day(s) ago | well you fail enough to them i can see why you dont like them :) more like you stepping in acid and it just melted your precious boots away |

99+ day(s) ago | Well you act like you want attention, I could be wrong, but that`s what I see.
I don`t really understand why everyone wants there to be more Collectives anyways, they are just annoying little bottom feeding buggers. Personally I want to step on them with my boots except I hate getting their gunk all over my boots. |
ShadowKing
99+ day(s) ago | wow... thx veni :) and i agree with elemental... and HH i most certainly am not looking for attention?!? |
elemental
99+ day(s) ago | why dont we get down to the source, with something the admins CAN fix. everybody always complains about the slow collective build rate. sure, we have good ships(at least, some of them). sure, we can capture. but we only have 9 ships on our shiplist, and only 1 can build above 30k pr per turn. i think we deserve a little more than that, especially considering that collectives cant explore.
give us a decent cap ship, or just boost the build rates of every ship we have so we can actually build a decent fleet on short notice. |

99+ day(s) ago | I used the drug before.. But really my close friends saw my rage before.. Once i crack.. I took down a few people.. Thus im called that by close friends since 02.. Im learning to control myself..

It`s a tough crowd this week. Not closing this thread. If it dies, it will be due to natural causes :P |

99+ day(s) ago | And if you`re going to say "back to topic plz" you should really say "back to the topic please" so you don`t sound so utterly ridiculous. And you should also actually have something to say about the topic if your goal is to get people discussing the topic again.
Also, you shouldn`t have an empire name that resembles one of the worst drugs ever invented, used by the lowest of low people to ever exist and that has become an epidemic and ruined so very many lives. |

99+ day(s) ago | This topic is not a good one, as mentioned by like 100 people already:
slow build rate + high base pr = fail
So we might as well try and make use of this thread for other purposes such as flaming and piss and whatever. Or just close it. |
Crack
99+ day(s) ago | Back to topic plz.. Why not make another topic to flame or piss or whatsoever.. Zzz.. |

99+ day(s) ago | I don`t like to ignore people that`s rude.... I like to give them all the attention that they ask for.... and if anyone is asking for attention it is SK. |

99+ day(s) ago | fist. the last time npcs were around they had c5! and only coll could use it unfortunately :P |

99+ day(s) ago | i wanna see an rt c5 plz some1 make it happen |
VeniVidiVici
99+ day(s) ago | what about ignoring? or are you gonna teach everyone the right manners? |
HoneyBucket{HH}
99+ day(s) ago | Veni, I think you missed the point. I don`t think anyone truly has any problem with the way that SK fights, some might even be impressed..... what people have a problem with is his poor attitude and the way he treats other players. I have a very difficult time showing much respect for someone who acts so childish and is so rude to other people. |
