Display MoreDisplay MoreVega has always been x2 uni, and it should remain as such. Deployment speed is essential part of how the uni works, both in terms of own fleetsave, and catching other players. Change that, and you've changed the real life balance many players have. It's a proven case that faster universes die quicker so let's not go down that path. If it's expo speed you want, then ask for speed boost only on expo missions, perhaps it can be done. But don't touch fleetsave patterns.
Then the argument goes both ways. If it suits 70% of people to go 4x peaceful, then it should should change.
And servers dying faster has nothing to do with fast peaceful fleets, if anything, as long as you can cover your FS patterns, it is better to have faster peaceful because gathering res takes less time overall.The real killer of servers is fast war because people bruteforce spy and fly with extremely short attacks and catch guys that went to the toilet without their phone.
You actively chose a server you knew had 2x fleet speed instead of Lacerta/Thuban which you knew had higher fleet speeds, there is no arguing about that. Most players choose Vega for those speeds because it works better with real life, I think a lot of players will consider quitting Vega if the fleet speeds are changed.
This is not an argument, I'm not joining a dead server without ACS or a 5x war server coming from x1 with ACS. And please don't mention uni 1, that's wasn't a reasonable option either.
People were forced to merge, if your opinion is outnumbered, then you will have to deal with it.
EDIT: and you should blame GF for it, trust me, we would have prefered to merge somewhere closer in terms of settings and overall player lvl to our original uni.
Why not join Lacerta (the dead server as you call it) and change the settings from ACS OFF to ACS ON? Probably easier to get that vote through there (it's already been suggested).
You're right, yet again GF's merge options were terrible....we were asked for feedback and nothing changed apart from deciding not to add extra galaxies.
Maybe feed this back through the relevant channels, and you won't see players already discussing settings changes on 50% of the merge universes...I know you're not a GF employee and you can only do so much, but they certainly don't listen to the players so maybe, just maybe they might listen to you....but knowing GF, nah
The vote needs 70% to go through, if you're so sure it would get rejected then what's the issue? The sort of attitude "go to Lacerta and change their settings instead" is absurd......A lot of players have had to change their habits and how they play here, me included....because we were forced to merge with 4 terrible options....at least you'd get a vote.
This 100%. To call the merge logic brain-dead would be a compliment. If random servers were pulled out of a hat it would have been better than the options given. Rather the aim of the merge seems to be to piss off as much of the player base as possible. I don't see why a vote hurts here.
Mods may be correct that it will not pass but why leave it to chance? Either it passes and the majority are happy or it fails and the majority are happy.
