  Anti Spam idea  

You know, one of the advantages of spamming is that ships that don`t have no retal (like Garuda or F swords) die even when they are attacking from like the top stack. So it really isn`t a "Free hit" because garudas, swords, and the like still die even when pounding the bottom stacks of the opposition. Only ships like thors or queens don`t die.

So why not eliminate this by making it so that it really is free hits? Make it so that all ships can hit from the higher stacks without taking losses themselves. It would greatly hurt spamming tactics if you ask me.

AGREE on the not-smart runners... really pointless.. another reason why Virals have another advance... TWO 8 ranged Chemical ships... Runner are useless

I would say the 5000 pthor should be able to take out out 5000 pyth on defence or offence but this is not the case as you say.

Thor have longer range and should be able to dissable the enemy fleet at least.

Same applies to other destroyers they should be affective agains equal numbers of larger ships as in most cases they have longer rang


Ruuners always get wiped even if they hit vunerable ships and have longer range whoich seems a little rediculous too

I dont mind blacklisting players for constant spamming... cause its the same old players who do it on a daily bases... i`ve seen in the 1 million to 10 million ranks its down a ton... sadly even more then the 10 million to 200 million ranks stack more...

sadly tho the higher you go up in power the greater your loses are...

Queen & Runner Increase build rates would still be nice tho... plus Runner are nearly useless(NO ARE USELSS) to those 7 range spam ships Viral have....

You cant buy empires on UC exactly. You can buy systems and some projects to help. And thats it. YOu can explore up to 500k planets, and then you have to fight for the rest. I have 6 mil planets on RT and i had to fight very hard for them. Even if you puy ever project possible, and have your max 10 systems, you still have to get youtr planets somehow.

I will say you can get tons of cash and food buy selling dps and stuff which can get you the planets and ships and crab, but you still have to know how to fight with your race and win planets.

having alot of active players fricken rocks. Theres actually tons of people to fight against in the lower prs. What is there here? Maybe 3- 6? You have to fight for planets there, you have to fight for them here. So whats the difference , besides the stacking and battles being a ton better on here?

I await the flaming, insults, attacks on my character ,and my ability to understand and play this game. I expect to be called not only a newb, but a super newb. I expect insults of every kind. I expect the harshest language known to man to be directed at me. I expect utter hostility, anger, and death threats. I expect threats on my family, and threats on everyone i know. I expect to be told that i dont deserve to talk, breath , or speak. I expect to be told to return to UC, so please dont disappoint me...

UC has those active players because they can buy a good empire, don`t have to build it like you do on GC.

Here is a thing that does suck about UC:

People buy their empires, spend hundred/thousands getting systems and millions of planets, were the people that play the game right or don`t have the money get screwed?

Yeah that sucks about UC.

Being Pay2Win sucks for customers that cannot/will not pay2win

Infernal stephen did that on UC, and everything about UC sucks, therefore that`s not a good way to fix it

-.- fixable by simple math, but since its stephen i wont trust him with math.
if stack PR is > than a certain % of total pr, effectiveness of all stats drop by %
degree of change depending on the % of total pr, bigger % more drop, makes bigger stacks less effective.
then again, knowing stephen, better that he dont try

In some ways i wish GC was still 6 stacks instead of 10. People spammed a bit less then. But would it make a difference? Dont really know.

Theres got to be some way to reduce viral spamming, without hurting the parent ship`s race, but that would require stephen, so its not going to happen. We need to get stephen to sell this bloody game, or get active in working on it again, or any kind of "good" progress or updates, wont happen.

I have a better idea, but neither your idea nor mine has the capacity of EVER being implemented because Stephen won`t touch this game.

A far better idea would just to make the damage delt by the defending stack carry over to the next stack if it destroys the first, and so on until it has used all its potential damage...

So the stack `fires through` the dummies and the rest of the damage they can deal that round gets layed on the Nirv in your example...

for example you have this situation

Sword--------------------Nirvana
Garuda-------------------dummy
broadsword-------------dummy
Kalliem--------------------dummy
ryu------------------------dummy

On the first wave, the sword dies. The second wave, the garuda dies.

However, in the 2nd wave, some of the other ship stacks suffer losses along with the enemy, even though they are getting "free hits". If it was made in such a way that the other stacks didn`t suffer losses, then spammers wouldn`t win as much.
