99+ day(s) ago | and for exploring some people use viral to hoard instead of explore same with guard too iv seen ppl do it ;P so sitting at base exploring for weeks on end when u could just hoad n explore borders is the quicker way to acually play the game since ud be fighitng for an awesome income in 1 grab |

99+ day(s) ago | and pete there would be a minimum to the clusters like it siad back in apollos original post to with landsize so there wouldnt be tiny clusters runnin around and if u dont want it or need it theres someone else who u could duek it out with to fight for it which int hen could ge tu something better ;P and i imagine thered be somewhat of a max to how many woul be on the server anyhow and with hoarders if they can keep they keep em just meens if someone wants to take them down n get back the cluster they can work together with a fed or one another for em ;P |

99+ day(s) ago | I agree with Pistol pete, it is healthy for the game because then those clusters are given out to hoarders who hold these clusters and make no good use of it.... ***To all those who are thinking TPE in their head for keeping a large Viral C.4, it is true****** But seriously I think its better for the game for people to explore their clusters. |
PistolPete
99+ day(s) ago | Well.. I am never low on borders, and Ive never plundered anything to prevent people from getting it. Its just that sometimes i capture something i dont want to keep - could be a large fert (when you are viral) or it could be a C2 or C3 when you are explorable, or it could simply just be a cluster that is too bad to be kept. If I cant cluster i will depop it instead. And actually i think its healthy for the game that clusters can dissappear. |

99+ day(s) ago | no lol, bad idea fuzzy :P |

99+ day(s) ago | How bout we make the clusters Homeworlds thus impossible to plunder. then maybe have events where if we cant kill a certian empire everyone will lose 1 of there "special" c3/c4s or something so we dont over populate the server with clusters. this idea is only good for RT tho as if it was done on tb most would go mineral miner most lilky but markets on tb are pretty dead so..maybe there needs to be a plus to the thing like..(get cluster "special class" get tons of historias) would be nice to see those thrown into the mix specially with the clusters up for grabs all the time ;) but again that would mainly appeal to RT..tb kinda gets left out like most events :\ |

99+ day(s) ago | @ Rag - Incorrect.
Along the lines of what Brotherhood said, if people don`t plunder clusters when they are hunted to low borders, it encourages people to be active fighting and hunt for clusters. It also encourages people to hoard more, making them have to fight, rather than sit at base with explored borders. |

99+ day(s) ago | @ Apollo, maybe i`m uninformed, but last time i checked, i haven`t fought a maru in ages. |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | "And most maru here are plunder Marus"
lmao you are very uninformed |
Brotherhood
99+ day(s) ago | I disagree rag...no activity ruins the game..don`t matter if there are 400 players if none of them are active outside yhe once aday dp expire. So lets find ways via events or changes that gets the 50 or so guys we got to be more active. Chasing clusters and rewards are a start. Only bad side I could see from this would be the punks who get clusters and get scared and vm to try to keep them. |
LeonHeart
99+ day(s) ago | If viral could plunder/infect them , then that is worse, since the viral community is pretty big, unlike coll/maru which has few..plus coll don`t have much use for it...And most maru here are plunder Marus, I can only see virals getting the hands on them, which i might not wan to see X class C3 get ruined by them..
But still, i would like to see clusters being passed around instead of being plundered, as i understand the pain of losing them.. |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | Leon, the idea was to make it so only half the races in the game could plunder clusters
also iirc
an x class tainted cant be plundered by a viral, as the way viral gets to plunder x class is by infecting them 1st. if theyre already infected they can be plundered. an X Tainted would have to change hands and be converted before being plunderable |

99+ day(s) ago | A shrinking player base ruins the game, not plundering housing on clusters you win. |
LeonHeart
99+ day(s) ago | Actually if the idea is to prevent pple from plundering the clusters, it wouldn`t work since coll/maru can still plunder them, thus rendering the idea infeasible |

99+ day(s) ago | That`s the cowards way out, Pete. Ruins the game for you, AND everyone else. |
Brotherhood
99+ day(s) ago | Would like to add that even if it has no housing iys still useful for mineral production and finishing missions...not to mention a spike in activity that would occure...I would vote yes to this in a heartbeat. #more planets on server :) |

99+ day(s) ago | i`m still unsure on this idea... |
