I think that'd scare a lot of people out of trying it, having to manually estimate/calculate the moment of arrival, return etc. Let alone slowing an attack by ACS without AGO:D

Maybe true the first part, but that was something everyone did back then. Always calculating. Damn, my math skills went away with the old design lol. Seriously tho, we had other addons to help us out, and they were GREAT. Even today I still have hard times slowing downs attacks with ACS, but back then it was so easy (for me). And it was fast loading those slim webpages. Maybe it's just the nostalgia of talking about it, but I do miss those times. People here on the board were different, more players, more rl friends.

OLD DESIGN UNIVERSE!! Sorry for the hype... But, I mean... Just the possibility

Quote from Asto Vidatu

so lets put it this way
if a RIP dies on MD
that attack wont count?

It will count as one hit. So you would still have 5 more hits do, until the 6 hits of the bashing rule.

Quote

All Moon Destruction missions count towards bashing, regardless of the battle or moon destruction outcome.

Quote from Asto Vidatu

one question
does moonshots count as bashing?

No. They don't count as bashing.

Quote

Attacking fleets that are completely destroyed do not count towards bashing.

Invisible debris fields are deleted at the daily server reset, 02:00 server time for .org, on Monday morning.

The DF will not be deleted if there is a fleet currently flying either to or from the DF when the reset happens.

For a thread that says "NO DM DISCUSSION" in the title, I find it interesting that people have suggested the change of removing certain DM features.

From what I've read no one here was discussing about the DM usage, or abuse for that manner. In my case, since I did actually suggested two DM features being removed, I did it in no means against the DM usage, or the right GF has to make money, I'm fully in favor of that. It's a company, it has to make money, or else it's charity. What I meant with my suggestion is, those two features I believe unscale the balance by providing a lot of power that undermines the basis of this game. The Merchant, the Officers, yeah nothing against them, by themselves they don't give a power too great. Even the halve/finish button could be ok in resources buildings and researches, other situations they my tip the scale too much. I believe GF should introduce new ways for them to make money, giving an advantage to the buyer, just not something far too great, and something that changes the basis of the game. I mean, it should be in the company's best interest to give a small edge to it's buyers, and yet not send away the potential buyers by not being able to compete without it. Now I am pushing it, and that would be DM discussion, so I apologise. I wrote this trying to give a little clarity on why my suggestion, but I assure you it has nothing against the use of DM

Typical of you to oldies to discredit the opinions of new players.
There's just no need for that.

If there's no way to spot a ninja then it becomes too easy to ninja IMO.

Typical of you newbies do discredit something, that has been done successfully, but you believe will be too easy just because YOU never did it.

Quote

You mean board-users opinion.

No! I mean players lol! GameForge, aside from very few situations, doesn't ask the opinion of the players, board wise or ingame wise. Since when have you been asked about your opinion ingame anyway? Lol.

Then don't go for slot 15, miner.

I don't! If you had any intelligence what so ever you might have read what I said in previous posts before saying that. That is why I believe the field size in broken, because aside from relocation no one will go for a colonization on slot 15. And remember the people who go for slot 15 are deut mine seekers, why else do you go for slot 15?

And a smart ass comment like that, is the same as me saying: Don't like something about this game? Then don't play it.

You come to this thread criticizing other peoples comments, about THEIR opinions and you still think you're the one's that right. Please go troll another thread. The game for you is Tetris, with no changing and no social interaction, since obviously you don't know how to relate with other people.

Did you even played in that time to say something like that? People still attacked moons, and bigger players attacking weaker ones still had much to watch out for, because a very possible ninja could occur. And FYI weaker players did in fact attack bigger ones successfully. They just had to know where to look.

And yes, the activity was changed, but much of the implementations on Ogame goes without players opinion.

So you know, back then, first no activity was showed on moons at all. Then they changed it that no activity was showed at all on planets and moons, you only got it by spy report, and later they changed so that when you were online every planet and moon had activity, this later was the fleeters golden age as it was just plain easy to know if the target was online or not, no activity offline, activity online. And then it was changed into what we have now.

I have no quarrel with you BubbleBeam, but it just hurts when people say it does not work, when in fact it did very well and those that were here in that time know it. Today much of that panache is lost, people do spy & fly attacks and don't even look for signs of activity and get crashed. People no longer know the strategy that involves in ogame.

About the planet fields, you're wrong. You think just because it suits your play style that it's fine for everyone else. A medium miners account, with 35 Metal, 30 Crystal, 30 Deut, 10 Shipyard, 10 Robot, 4 Nanite, 16 Research, 10/8/7 storages, 4 Missile, with NO Solar Plants, and it's already 164 fields. Hardly an accomplishment, and still more than your 140 fields minimum. And unless you want to get stuck later on with a planet that you can't no longer build anything you'll find yourself in a bad position. Do remember that the Homeworld gets 167 fields, and the possibility to leave it was one of the good decisions GF made, because even 167 is just plain bad, even if it suits your playstyle.

BubbleBeam For a moment there I thought this was the trollers thread, then I looked above your post.

Why would you even say something as this? "without activity and stuff, no decent fleeter will ever bother attacking someone with bigger fleet and gates."
Ogame didn't had activity markers on moons before, and we did just fine. The difference is that today you see a fleet on a moon and you launch, you don't even check other planets for activity, you don't check alteration on the resources, or even in the fleet. That's why you get ninja'ed. There are many ways to spot a ninja, and it doesn't get too easy, it just makes you learn about this game.

Of course not, my bad. Actually we just need 10 fields, maybe 5. LOL would love to see a planet of yours
Just because you probably just build fleet, try, just try to look on everyone else's planet. You might learn a thing or two.

I get baffled every time you open your mouth. When I think you just can't say anything worse, you just puke a load of

The things I would ask GF would be:

1. - No activity showed on moons! For those that don't know, there was a time (back on the good old days) that no activity would appear on moons. That was fun. People would attack and get ninja'd, then they would learn or do the same mistake again. Today, even with activity on moons (and by that I don't just mean the * but fleet changing and resources changing) and still people attack thinking I'm not online. I think now is just too easy, and a lot of that "skill" was lost in the past.

2. - No relocations! That is just bad, back then you would always have a free planet slot for something called mobile colony. For those that don't know, that was the way to move to the same ss as the defender, and that toke a lot of time and planing. Because after a new colony was made you would still have to make a moon, and build a JG and only then could you actually move your whole fleet without that huge deut cost, or start to MD. This toke skill because the defenders ally would attack the new comer to try and prevent him from getting a moon, that was a lot of fun to watch.

3. - Colonization on every ss slot, should give a minimum of 220 planet slots. Let's face it, less than 200 planet slots is a bad planet (not an impossible one). Why even go for slot15 (without relocation of course) if the max are 75 planet slots?! No point. Then temperature would be a factor, and people could try to get a good cold planet, or a good hot planet, or just stay in the middle but not limited by planet slots.

4. - I get it that GF HAS to make money, no objection! But please find new ways of earning money, not screwing the game basis. People buying "WIN" (relo/insta-build) buttons really hurts the game.

5. - Please, a new ship/defense/building/research every 6 months would be great.

6. - The old design, as the game was. Even if it's a feature for commander subscribers only, that would bring joy

I very much doubt this will take you anywhere else than what Crimson King has already told you in the other thread. And... They'll probably close this thread too.

"Normal" procedure for pushing bans? There probably isn't as every situation in unique, and specific. And that isn't allowed to be talked on the boards.

Crimson has already answered your second question before:

Quote

While we don't usually ban without proof there is nothing that says that we can't. GOs also cannot reveal any evidence they have or how they obtained that evidence in public.

Talking about a specific ban case, in a non specific manner on the boards will take nowhere.

Quote from BombHead1987

i know off these posts i was asking for something new dude

Asto Vidatu was answering MikeGrinder6. Don't think that was for you.

Why make a "guide" about something you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Really dude, until now your posts have been nothing but trolling...

No disrespect, but since that other player is constantly on v-mode, why would lifting the bashing rules in you case uni35 give you anything to gain? (Universe 35, Electra and Quantum: 20 times in a single 24 hours period.)

As I see it, if you can't do anything about it right know, being able to bash him more than 20 times will not resolve your problem... What you need is to be online when he sends his rips, or maybe have a friend to acs defend.

I think this More ships built than ordered might have been what happened to you. It is a known but, and happens sometimes.

Quote from Christ

Profit wise its ALL About moon size and amount of profit

Could you be more vague? lol :p

Humor me, 8.600 km moon. How much profit would you need to go for it?

Quote from Woutiex

Don't know why people that don't like the idea even taking the time to comment.And to all the others thanks for the support.

So, you just want people to come here just to give support to this idea? That's a great thought on your part. "Exclusivity: Only people who like and support this suggestion may post". Dude, are you for real?

When will people understand that EVERYONE has the right to post here, and if you make a suggestion then you HAVE to expect people who like it, and people who don't! Simple. And if the idea is bad (I'm not saying it is), they may as well say it, and if you don't like it, don't respond.

As for the idea itself I've already said what I had to say. Irrelevant, for me you could play a x50 for all I care, as hell I'm not gonna. I think this is just the flavor of the month, but after the hype it would be as any other universe.

Edit: Sniped

Quote from Kub1n4sh1

U don't have to come here and put this idea down.

Actually he has as much right to post his opinion as any of us, whether he likes the suggestion or not... If you don't like it, just don't respond

And about gameforge listening to their customers, well, I won't even name the officers thing back then, but just the redesign speaks for itself. I know it was a thing that had to be done, same as officers. They need a shiny game to be more appealing to new gamers, and officers for their income. But 90%, maybe, of their costumers didn't want it, and still... Here we are.

The board was much more active back then, and much more people around. Many quit because of that, and yet still here we are.

I think it's good that you express you opinion, and make your suggestions, but maybe some of us that know gameforge for that "long" just know that in the end they do as they want, not based on players/costumers opinions. Having said that, good luck with the suggestion, I hope you can get what you want, and maybe what everyone wants, but for me, I wouldn't play it!

Quote from revol

thx for reply but neither of you has answered the question I've ave added a couple of points for clarification.

I'd like an official and simple yes or no please.

thx

Yes, that is correct. Even if you did not pay for the coupon, it is still a GF coupon you received. Reclaiming it would be as reclaiming any other coupon as if you would have spent any money.

I asked the exact same question once directly to GF, exacly for the very same situation.

This was the answer:

Hello,

unfortunately redeem coupons are considered orders. So if you order now you will only get 25% bonus.
