Just curious what game improvement ideas people had to fix the game.
1.) Anti-Spam System, this is good for 2 reason, stacking is more fun battling challenge & 2 it helps balance out the higher ranking empires(no cheap fleets).
2.) Evening out ship build rates to be all even & level. This will reduce build time & help balance out even build rates accross the board. |

99+ day(s) ago | When Mara & others started editing the ships we lost some of the natural characteristics of the ships.
Collective new ships were well deservered.
Guard improvements were long over due, however they are overpowering period now in days.
Viral, nothing new there except take away D class which isnt that big.
Terran, long overduel overhaul, havent seen much done but they are happy with the T.Emp improvement & the added paid T.Fernir.
A.miner, G.Livid was the only nice improvement i saw, along with the G.Spa which heck i cant even get the staff to give me even though i have a paid account on slow server. Other than that A.miner was balanced before the updates, before the started changing ships starting with the G.Lictor back in the day when it had awsome modifiers. |

99+ day(s) ago | PistolPete viral are already evil, what is there to actually balance out the game for viral, there arent any income / upkeep / build rate / hull / modifiers reduction for viral anywhere.
heck the least stephen could of done was add 1.25% increase in upkeep per ship for viral, would of been better than nothing OR reduce the ship hull by 10%. probably the way stephen coded things he would have to do a re-write which face it he probably to rusty for it.
but simply put it this way, its as simple as
IF( race = "viral" ){upkeep * 1.25}
IF( race = "viral" ){hull * .90}
Plus i think what ships viral should be able to capture alot of ships, but not be able to RE them all. Plus when you get viral vs viral or viral vs collective battles you get ship capture issues in the battle system. sorry but how lame, plus you can capture the other guys ships even if you did capture some normal terran or A.miner ships in the battle.
the point of Juggernaughts / Dreadnaughts / Special like ships was they were special cause they had race defensive / offensive weapons / modifiers / but in general had the same weakness of Queen / Runner / 1 normal weapon that can damage them badly.
Destoryer were meant as ranged weapons with barely any hull.
Cruisers were meant for range, but more less weapons & more hull, so its a trade.
Frigate were another balanced ship between Hull / firepower, but with less range they are easily flanked by everyship nearly or have a massive weakness or high upkeep to balance them out.
Corvette really god only C.Aries is any good out of most of those type of ships, along with Guard / Collective Corvette, put of this ship is a HULL ship with slight modifers to give some defensive advanage to 1 or 2 weapon types.
Fighter they have become obsolete nearly, at one point of time they massive modifiers & firepower of these little ships were able to challenge the bigger ships, however i remember how they failed to starbases all the time back in the days lol. |

99+ day(s) ago | I suggested this ones and was told that it was a job for anfit.
CMT: BR is among the most important characteristics of a ship?! Man you could make virals evil, if they had pikes, Cuda, tiger, borrs, Cronus, chlor, Chlorite, epidote, thor, herc and garudas at a BR of 50k!! lol. |
Aacra
99+ day(s) ago | i would like to suggest a filter that is similar to the retal filter that lets you see who you have retals against. but this one would let you know who has retals against you, rather than having to look thru your battle logs. and a day counter, so you know how long you have to collect that retal, or when a retal against you wears off. |

99+ day(s) ago | No matter what, if there are spamming penalties / power ratio penalties. Your moderating the set of stacks required per power. so in other words your forcing either a 10 stack or should i say 6 stack to make this game like UC.
UrbanSprawl i`ll agree with you on better ships should build slower, but really what should build slower is defensive ships, not the offensive ones. Heck spammers wouldnt spam if queen build at 50 per turn, easy countering a spammer. Plus Queen & Runner are weak ships so no point in have a spam of them around after you counter someone with them. I suggested this years ago for Queen & Runner to reduce spamming of captial ships.
really what has been done to control spam, seriously that 1 event with the D.Maru / Race wars was the funniest thing in GC i`ve done since GC pretty much started up.
PistolPete there are many ships to pick from, just because they all build 50k power in 1 turn doesnt mean there is any advanaged or disadvanage there. |
UrbanSprawl
99+ day(s) ago | 1) Need to have battle penalties for spamming. Keep them moderate though so as to not eliminate them entirely, but spamming should not be the most successful strategy.
2) The idea is "better" ships build slower (not entirely the case right now). Don`t say all ships will be equally good. |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | that`s true, don`t take away the ability to spam. I like balanced fleets, I hate that spams beat me fairly often, but I don`t advocate removing the ability from the game, it`s all about finding your own way to play. |
PistolPete
99+ day(s) ago | Ohh.. And i forgot to say what i originally wanted to say. I like to build spams, and fight spams. How boring would it be, if you could only build one type of fleet. |
PistolPete
99+ day(s) ago | 1. making an antospam system would make it nearly impossible to fight guards. Evening out the BR may be a good idea, but then you need to make whole new ships, as the quality of the ships depends very much on the BR of the ships for most races. |

99+ day(s) ago | Ragnarok the idea is reversible, requires no turns either.
Also limiting counter attacks to +200% range seems reasonible. No limit to attacks from under power though. |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | That`s a good idea if the disable feature doesn`t transfer to another player. Otherwise the server would be filled with unplunderable C3s, which would kinda suck if you destroyed all infrastructure on a c3 lol. |
CrazyMaverickTNM
99+ day(s) ago | Disable Plunder-ablity of a planet.... helps with not plundering a 25k C2, while trying to make another haha. or plundering a big barren by mistake. |

99+ day(s) ago | Kurvinykas the fed war idea of keeping score of wins / loses againist each other is possible to do. Ya i also thought about removing the 2x fed war ablity.
Raistilin your such a negative person. |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | A record of wars won and lost would be nice too. Or at least a war history, kind of like the battle logs, except for fed wars.
Along that note, fed wars would become something more than a fed leader`s ability to change fed wars, just so he can 2X someone, if they were more important, such as the point system, and lasted for a set duration, then fed wars would begin to mean something, not just be a tool to attack people from higher prs. |
Kurvinykas
99+ day(s) ago | One of the reasons behind ships having different build rates is so that they have advantages over others.
A suggestion I always wanted to see was for fed wars to mean more than they do now, i.e. when a fed enters into war with another they accrue points for how many wins they score against the other fed`s members and having federations organised by points rather than planets. Fed wars could then be won when a fed reaches a certain number. |
Raistilin
99+ day(s) ago | i`d be cool with wild ideas, but your ideas are the ones that can`t happen. looks like you contradicted yourself with your post. |
EnderWiggin
99+ day(s) ago | how is GC`s twin coming crazy?? If you intend to complete it, people who would be interested in playing it should organize now... Because if GC goes dark, we will have no way to find you... |
CrazyMaverickTNM
99+ day(s) ago | This is for wild ideas board im looking for,
not the can`t do ideas board Raistilin. |
Raistilin
99+ day(s) ago | 1.) would take stephen, not happening
2.) would be boring, why not just give everyone just one ship and call it uc ? |
