    INFORMATIVE POLL, THE OFFICIAL POLL WILL TAKE PLACE IG.


    I think it is best we open a new thread for the request of server settings after the merge. It might still be a little bit early, but we can already discuss our options maybe :)


    What I observed from previous polls in different uni's is that the votes usually fail because the voting options are very one-sided, i.e. very much oriented towards the fleeters. Fleeters are usually a minority in a uni, so getting the other playstyles on your side while getting 70% of the votes is a difficult task.


    So my proposal would be to include votes for multiple playstyles in one vote. This way more people will vote in favour hopefully. For Lacerta I would like to propose:


    ACS ON + friendly speed x8


    ACS ON for obvious reasons, as this will suit fleeters mostly (but also ACS defence for miners for example). Friendly x8 will make transporting your resources faster and will also benefit the expo speeds for discoverers. Fleetsave times will change, but in my experience you can still do a 24h fleetsave even if your planets are relatively close together.


    Additionally we could include a separate vote for Deut in Debris for example.


    I would love to hear your opinions on the topic, please share below :)

  • ACS off as it was meant to be like this from the start when people were signing up but thats just the way I see it.

    Didf won`t go through and its probably the worst thing that can happen to Lacerta due to certain wallet warriors but sure an option can be given and let the people choose.

    If you want to change friendly speed its only fair for war speed to be changed too, doesnt have to be anything major but bumping it from 2 to 3 would already do just fine.

    We have to include in the poll as many choices as we possibly can cause we get 1 shot at this.



    1. ACS on/off

    2.Didf yes/no

    3.Deut df yes/no

    4.Holding/War speed 2>>>>3

    5.peaceful speed 4>>>>8


    Just the way I see it,if anyone has other ideas throw it out there,just saying we should name them all,let all be poll included and people can vote!

  • Would say, even tho I prefer acs ON and was forced here, it would be nice to keep that off. DiDf will never happen in a voting.

    I suggest getting deut into df instead.


    even tho I don’t like the playstyle Ella has, I strongly agree that we would need warspeed changed if we get 8x friendly - because otherwise it would never be beneficial to play vm at all.


    I do know that certain people will vote against polls here, just to mess with Lacerta, so either way it will be rough to get anything through unless all of the active Lacerta players agree in advance.


    that’s my stance on the situation

  • I am against all changes, Lacerta is unique universe. Very nice and friendly place. We choose Lacerta for its settings. And again change of settings requested ... i dont understand this..))

  • You'd have to pair peaceful speed and war speed into one option to increase both, or increase neither. There's multiple exodus with x1 war speed that most likely have chosen, or will choose Lacerta as their target. If speed changes are two options, then a war speed change will not pass. I don't know about a peaceful speed change, but I find it more likely to pass. If speed changes are paired, then it's probably not going to get 70% votes.


    If you were to vote to decrease war speed (x2 war speed --> x1 war speed), then I say it's 50/50 if it gets 70% votes. It would be tyranny by the majority, and it would be VERY unpopular amongst a minority of the players.


    Defense into debris is a waste of time, it will never pass. If it's an option It'll only make people more hostile towards changes, because they fear DiDF might happen.


    I suggest these options:




    - ACS OFF --> ON.


    - Deuterium into debris OFF --> ON.


    - Peaceful x4 --> x8 AND War/Hold x2 --> x3.



    OR



    - ACS OFF --> ON.


    - Deuterium into debris OFF --> ON.


    - Peaceful x4 --> x8 AND Consumption 60% --> 50%.

    I believe you said the opposite on discord?

  • is it possible to have an extra galaxy added to a universe? kinda lame i just bought relocations on yin couple months ago to have all my planets in 8 slot in neighboring systems just to be forced out of your active universe into one that has almost all the slot 8 spots taken, half of em by inactive accounts

  • ACS OFF

    No deuterium to debrie

    8x eco

    70 % debrie

    50 percent deut consumption


    Keep in mind the game team will most likely make us wait about 6 months or so before letting us have a pole on the topic. from past experience .

  • I'd prefer to see ACS enabled, as it promotes more teamplay and strategic variety.
    The only players who might oppose this are solo gamers who mostly play in VMode – and they're in the minority ;)

    Also, I suggest these updated uni settings:
    Deuterium in DF (ON)

    Increased deut consumption reduction (from 40% to 50%)

    As compensation, we could reduce the DF percentage from 60% to 50%

  • Hello,


    I would like to inform you that polls requests cannot be processed at this time.

    This means that even though you can discuss your options here, the usual poll process (sending the topic link IG, sending the poll) will not take place until September.

    Furthermore, the activation of the ACS can no longer be voted on.

    You will find the topic here, which indicates the options that are and are not possible:

    Possible Universe Settings


    I would also like to remind you that you can ask for informative polls on the forum if you wish, to help you in your discussions.

  • And thats fine since usually ya`ll demand a longer discussion and more players commenting, this way by the time we can get a poll going discussion will be done and you can just opet the poll without prolonging it.

  • As said by others, ACS being off should remain and that will be the case anyway.


    As someone who has merged here I haven't been here long enough to judge anyway, but any changes should be balanced so miners/fleeters are both getting some kind of benefit.


    I am not against deut in debris or reducing deut consumption, the change to fixed 3:2:1 trade rates will hurt some so might be a small help to those who have/had deut traders?

    I apologise in advance for everything

  • its a mining server...... sure its a poor one, thuban the "balanced" server has higher economy and research. i dont get why anyones complaining about a mining server having miner settings


    is it possible to add new galaxies to the server? alot of slots taken up by inactive and vacationers. or just taken since they decided to close active servers to stuff people here. and some of us spent money to have a close line of 8 slot planets to be more efficient back on our perfectly good active servers with better settings , this server sucks enough without being able to place planets efficiently

  • Late to the party, but I’ll rant anyway.
    The benefits of strategic planning we had in our original universes have been completely nullified. All the slot 8 positions are already taken - old Lacerta players, inactives or by those who were quicker to relocate after the merge.
    Why weren’t additional galaxies added prior to the merge? This would have been a logical step, knowing that most players prefer slot 8 planets. Is there any chance Lacerta could be expanded now by one or two galaxies? That would open up new slot 8 positions and give everyone a fair shot at rebuilding their layouts the way they had them before.

  • If there is to be no vote on ACS then i would like to vote to make Lacerta an exodus uni at the next merge as we can no longer move by graveyard.

    twice now Lacerta have been on the receivivg end of merges and the uni dies a little each time, players merge here then v mode and stay gone the numbers rise a little after each merge then die off. one way or another give us the chance to leave and go where we want
