So before I totter off to bed, I reminisced about some things gone by that would be nice to bring back.
Or perhaps some wild ideas for the future ?
Just for fun I would`t mind seeing the following :
- The old forum format
- D.Marauder
- Viral Missions
- Collectives to be able to capture scouts
- Fed bonuses ( i.e based on many games where you collect points for wins / kills accomplishments which give you all a bonus as a team like reduced upkeep / increased in far etc. )
- Daily / weekly accomplishments ( Say fight a set number of battles , dig for set number of random items, find a set number of planets and receive a random bonus ) This encourage activity and old players to continue to play who have maxed infra
- Super projects that give you an awesome ship for a limited time ( Like a Kalzul staircase for 100,000 turns which you can have for 1 month )
- Monthly NPCs battles run by Guides and volunteers ( me ! )
- Quarterly Deathmatches
I must add this thread is just for fun, I realise this all takes hard work, just a chance to spitball :) |

99+ day(s) ago | I would be happy to write missions. Creative writing class helps lol |
EPrussia
99+ day(s) ago | well i checked there still there which is good there a start. we need someone to write potential collective missions. I never really got into them the one race i dont know much about espically since they got the most ship upgrades of all races imo. can someone write collective missions based for people who want to go collective but have no clue what to do. e |

99+ day(s) ago | Yeah they`re still there Prussia, but there`s little point in doing mission until econ stuff is settled |
EPrussia
99+ day(s) ago | just so people know I posted ages ago to EE and BW written missions for virals. whether they have looked at it I dont know but it is there for them |

99+ day(s) ago | Even before BW/EE came into the scene, I had written some missions for GameAdmin back in 08-09` ish. It wasn`t for Viral, but it was to revamp races with basically an Act 3 and expand for those that don`t have missions. It would have required some revamping of end Act 2 missions. |

99+ day(s) ago | - Quarterly Deathmatches
Instead of just deathmatches, we could also use the DM server as like a temp server. Slower than regular deathmatches, but with an endgame. Maybe 1 turn / second and first successful OM is winner, or first person over 500 planets is winner, etc. Once end goal is accomplished, name goes in hall of fame, maybe get a reward on server of their choice, and DM server resets and we have a fresh start again with a new end game goal. |

99+ day(s) ago | - The old forum format
The forums are pretty bad. I would love a lot of additional features - better searching / filtering, allow editing and / or deletion of your own posts. You know, a lot of basic forum stuff that you see pretty much anywhere but here.
- D.Marauder
What about them? As an NPC event? As a playable race?
- Viral Missions
Viral missions would be fantastic. I havent actually done many missions on gc, but if theyre anything like UC`s, they point you in the wrong direction too often (telling you to do infra you really dont want to do and sometimes absolutely shoudlnt do)
-Collectives and exploring
I would be totally down for limited exploring capabilities for both coll and maru - even very limited, like up to 5 planets.
- Fed bonuses
Bonuses, at least like you posted, is a good way for rich to get richer feeding on the poor if you know what I mean. Keep winning, get cooler ships or boosts of some sort, makes winning more even easier. Its like when someone on CoD goes on a killstreak rampage and their killstreaks just keep getting them more killstreaks
- Daily / weekly accomplishments
Depending on what they are, I totally support this. Even if its just like some of those rewards like heres 10 random orbs for logging in one day. Second day in a row gets you like 10 common and a couple uncommon. 3rd day in a row logging in gets you like a 15 loyalty boost on all planets. 4th day in a row gets you whatever, etc etc.
UC also had an unfinished thing with keys - space programs could possibly find a gold key, digging found a white key, and exploring found a black key (or whatever colors they were). Find all keys in x amount of time and you get something nice. On UC it was a free project, which seems a bit OP, but I mean any decent reward could be fun |

99+ day(s) ago | Targs, back when talk of updates and BW assuming control first started, was asking around for ideas for forum improvements. Id assume that means that type of thing is on the table / possible
I do think I also recall BW or EE asking for help or volunteers to rewrite missions, I could be mistaken
Lots of discussion has been going on about collective and even maru somehow scouting, whether it be capturing, limited exploration abilities, or allowing tiny scanners on fighting ships to allow exploring.
Just yesterday BW or EE mentioned that they were looking at ways to make federations more beneficial - whatever that might mean.
The other things Im not sure Ive heard anything about |
