Changing Econonmy Speed to 4x

  • In an effort to make Universe Hyperion more active we are asking to up economy from 2x to 4x.
    This will put us in line with many of the other universes.


    For clarification the fleet speed would be the same.



    This post is to assess support for a proposed economy change.

  • * I will support u, but I think what we need is merge with some uni.


    * In that merge we can get economy boost and some othere stuff what we need alot here.
    So we will all win and get what we need in that, miners will get better economy, fleeter will get more targets, small players will get more room to become stronger.

    * Its stupid from me to ask for this because I am no.1 fleeter and there are no one who can destroy me here, and after merge i could end up at rank 100 and get destroyed next day but I think about every person in this uni and because of that I would like to we get merge.

  • I agree with Rip's proposal of taking economy speed in Hyperion to 4x. My alliance (Zentraedi) has been told about this idea via circular message and they are OK with the idea. I read both positive and neutral comments from the people who answered, but none negative.


    I also agree with Deadpool. Certainly, a merger would be even more effective in keeping the universe alive. It's many of us who have a reasonable score in Hyperion because, well.... it's only 452 people as of today, many of which are inactive, but it's already clear who are the survivors and the strongest, the ones who "won the game". We're willing to play a "second game" in Hyperion if we have the chance.


    Uhm... a separate comment in case anybody knows the answer... what happens if universe A merges with universe B and a certain player has an account on both A and B? My guess is that they can keep the one they choose and the other can be either deleted or given to somebody else.

  • I agree a merge is needed at some point, however if upping the economy can increase activity and hopefully get some accounts out of V mode that would be a win in my books. We should try to make Hyperion as active as possible before a merge.


    The problem with our universe is what uni's would we get merged with as there are not many more 2x unis left (and the ones that are left are significantly stronger), I honestly think 4x economy would give us the option to merge with many more unis when the time comes.

    I believe that there are different target universes you can choose, if you have two accounts they must be in separate target unis. However i think that issue would be addressed more clearly if a merge is ever proposed.

  • @piink


    would we be able to have a poll, it would appear we do have support, i have spoken to players in game who have not wrote on the boards who also agree,
    also by the sounds of it Zentradi are on board and they have 34 members which would make up a big majority of the universe.

  • I also support Deadpool's request to merge uni's.


    But before that - depending on which uni we merge with - we should get some head start.
    Meaning: if we merge with a uni that has 2x our fleet speed and 2x our economy, we should get some weeks before the merge to 'adapt'.


    One thing is for sure: something has to happen because most people are just doing nothing now.
    So thanks RIP for bringing this up!

  • The poll is over.
    To the question: Would you like to increase the economy speed of Hyperion to x4?
    17 people voted yes and 8 no.


    Unfortunately that doesn't reach the requirement to proceed with the change.

  • Its just sad, I told u we need merge but who give a f* about what we need right?


    When 8 "new" people can decide fate of uni, u know u need to pack your bags and leave that uni.

  • 25 players is actually ridiculous, at least if we had 4x it might tempt newer players to join and old players to come out of V mode.



    What is the point of actually playing with 25 players,

  • Well, yes. I actually started playing Aquarius when it came up because it's clear that Hyperion is dead. I do come back to Hyperion from time to time because of the mates there that have not come to Aquarius. It's sad because the configuration of Hyperion was very suitable for me. Aquarius is... uhm... "much wilder", though still interesting.


    With such a large number of universes, none really gets many people. Maybe OGame should consider giving some units an "expiration date" from the beginning or maybe unis should be sorted in two lists: stable and experimental, the second being wilder and ephimerous. I don't know. It's just ideas. But all in all, I agree with the guys that things being like they are now, many people end up seeing their universes completely dead pretty quickly.
