With all the talk of ship updates i was wondering when this project will be brought into line, and could offer a new lease of life to many old empires who are bored and would appreciate a change
A one off project that will enable you to change your research and is IRREVERSIBLE, much like the Capsule lab, enabling you to change all your resarch from one thing to the other, e.g Terran swith to Agri from Commercial
I remember this was piloted about 2 years ago, but since then has dissapeared
Any ideas when ?
And do people still want this ?
Also when will Virals be allowed the one time opportunity to re RE their ships after the ship updates ? or if they make a mistake ( apologies if this has already been done, bit out of touch) lol

99+ day(s) ago | I know several old viral players that can still build G class ships. For them it is totally legal due to them being captured and RE`ed before the ship update ages ago |

99+ day(s) ago | G.class was captureable before the othhr ship update if thats what he means. |

99+ day(s) ago | Countercrazy you saw virals using g. class? I`m pretty sure they would have that taken away or be punished for cheating if they used abilities that no longer exist within the rules @.@ |

99+ day(s) ago | I spoke to stephen on chat last weekend, he does come on occasionally...He will do simple things if everyone will agree, it`s all planned out, etc...We gotta do most of the work first. Which is what maraudian is trying to do here. He can edit ships at least now, or Julatsa can, almost as good =p
Currently hes putting UC into open source sometime over the next year or two...Would be sweet if he`d do the same for gc after. |

99+ day(s) ago | lol. ya. what are we gona do after we get bored of the ship updates.
A thought came to mind about the itech thing. it would be interesting if people could keep their infastructure lvls "Only" if they`ve maxed their research or got to a certain point. somewhat something. so people arent always restarting and continuing the research. unlike that uc cr4p
Im not maxed. too much vm obviously. lol, but just a thought. |

99+ day(s) ago | I got an idea for the RE ships for viral
Reset the ships once a month. Makes virals work for their ships sorta like collective but not on a daily bases. Plus we still got some old virals with G class & ships that cant be Re`d anymore.
plus with the ship updates & the talk about resetting the RE`d ships for viral has taken long enough talk but no action.
----------
Admit us GC players are bored as heck, but i dont think we should start asking for new Projects cause thats just asking for to much at one time. Wait for the ship updates to be done first |

99+ day(s) ago | It is obvious GC is not going to get new idea, though talk of D.Maru is exiting , GC already has a large fan base, who are hardcore and loyal, but we are bored... very... very bored, and therefore improving on the game format we have already, would be much better
Than the usual dreamy ideas of new projects, wars etc
I know I-Tech is p[art of UC, i hate it, i believe it is designed to enable people to spend as much money as possible, this doesn;t mean good things don;t come out of it, and no i do not think people should keep their infra when they restart, or everyone would just restart all the time , knowing we don;t have to get to the holy 256
And i think virals have been waiting yonks to be able to re RE old and ineffective ships, as usual it is always the older and loyal member of the community who are c.rapped on
I`m not sure how far reaching Maraudians new powers are, but it would be pleasing to see someone else but Stephen to have creative capability, seeing as he has done jack for over a year now
Anyone actually seen or spoke to him from GC in the last year ?
*sigh |

99+ day(s) ago | Hmm, an i-tech library will never really be implemented into GC although its a nice idea stephen just doesnt have the time (wont make the time) to ensure the updates remain bug free.
I think really could do with a few new projects especially since cluster colony and capsule lab get rather boring.
I was thionking along the lines of projects that can attack an empire but from the safety of DP and completely destroy another empires outermost planet (not capture for yourself)
i think GC needs some new and ingenuitive things to keep it alive. |
Exule
99+ day(s) ago | Well, I was suggesting that we work on fixing the outdated RE condition first before we get carried away with side things. Change can be good, but we need to iron out the minor details before moving on to make big newer ones. :) |
ThEpAkIsTaNIeMpIrE
99+ day(s) ago | as a project suggestion, because i know many vets hate uc, and if we work gc own project they will like it too, because atleast its not uc ! |
Exule
99+ day(s) ago | As in project suggestions or as an in-game feature? As an in-game feature, that would totally change game play :O |
ThEpAkIsTaNIeMpIrE
99+ day(s) ago | exule, why dont we make our own projects? |
Exule
99+ day(s) ago | Well, I can agree on the i-tech counter arguement, but I think it would only be fair to allow virals with empire ages of X amount of days to be able to re-do their RE list if they desire to. It would only be fair...
of course this would be a one time thing. I`m not talking about instituting a ship list reset button for all players, just the ones that need it to fix any disadvantage that they might be at due to outside factors beyond their control. (i.e. ship tweaks.)
If they like the way their ship list is, then they should opt to not change it. All virals that started their viral empire after the said date (referred to as X days old) of course would not have the option to revise their list. (restated for clarity.)

99+ day(s) ago | Ideas thought up for GC should not just be "ooh ohh, I know what GC can copy from UC"... because yeh, it would start to become a UC clone =S
What it needs is some good fresh and original ideas =] |

99+ day(s) ago | Bleh, None of that keeping infra crab, next thing you know heill up the infra cap like uc, and we`ill all be justlike uc`ers =p |
Exule
99+ day(s) ago | I`d say keep it simple for now. Lets just work on what needs to be worked on first, then worry about details like that later. I-tech and RE revision are the more pressing one right now with all the new tweaks being made. |
ThEpAkIsTaNIeMpIrE
99+ day(s) ago | i would too exule, how about some projects like some secret planets, or a ship thats high cost low upkeep. something that causes interest. |
Exule
99+ day(s) ago | I would agree most with the RE change. Some virals have been around for a while and ships have definitely been tweaked since then. |
StormofBladeZ
99+ day(s) ago | lmao. oo oo oo GREAT IDEA!!. |
Om3gaBlack
99+ day(s) ago | Or better still, how about making it so you keep you infra lvls when you restart like on UC... that way older players with high infra won`t feel as restricted to stay as the one race they may have stayed as for so long... =P |
