Chapter 2. Def VFR, you're resilient. Credit to M_Gruby for spotting.

Started looking around recently and it paid off. Defender, FR if you choose.

You can hire the remaining 3 individually--it is not necessary to buy them all as a single DM purchase if you already have some of them active.

This is odd. My ally and I were playing in U1, a lifeforms uni, and my ally did not wait nearly that long I am sure, before he went to the graveyard. It sounds like there really is no organized system for going to the graveyard now. I hope at least they will answer my ticket and move my account.

It sounds really bad to have to let an account rot for that long when you just want to move it.

I have also been waiting for an account in US to move to the the graveyard, it's been 64 days. Recently, one of my allies' accounts moved there. I have no idea why some accounts are delayed and others seem to not be-I have submitted a ticket.

If I had to guess, the way the FAQ reads, a particular graveyard server admits only 100 accounts per day, so there may be a waitlist, but I am not sure.

Hello,

An ally of mine recently had a medium-sized account move to the graveyard from Universe 1 and wants to move this account back to U1. However, the only merge options on their graveyard server are .us universes.

Support replied in a ticket stating the account cannot be returned to its original universe. However, according to the graveyard FAQ,

Quote from kewlness

You can always merge back to your original universe.

At this point, submitting a ticket to resolve this issue has not helped my ally. Escalating the ticket and sending a complaint also have not helped. I would like some input, please, on how my ally can return his account to U1.

Thank you for reading.

I check the board now and again for hits like this. Wp attacker, fr defender.

Hello,

I am seeking a small account in u1 with at least 2-3 planets. I may have a small account elsewhere to trade depending on the account value. TIA.

I guess the endless probing occasionally pays off...good work attacker, FR defender

Excellent work. Def, drop in the bucket

Congratulations to LAW for winning the war against TRA

I don't know if we are on the same page but just misunderstanding. If you've been sending expeditions with AGR, it remembers and automatically sets your mission to expo for the next fleet, and AGR has an expo preset although it is inadequate for most universes. I am loath to scrap my system selection idea because not every player has enough planets to run expos all day purely in system without losses.

My personal preference is that I get all my resource and ship finds in one place however and the loss is not that great in the speed uni I am in, but I acknowledge that if you have jump gates or just fleet stationed at different moons and planets you can run expos that way for less deut and better use of time.

Quote from Xenomorph

Gameforge should implement some kind of default button that would autofill fleet slot and automatically sets expedition mission.

I for one am not fully understanding your suggestion since you seem to be against automatic ship and mission selection here:

Quote from Xenomorph

Bigger leap is automation in ship and mission selection

I am not proposing that the game decides what your mission and ships will be. That is why I mentioned standard fleets before. You could tell the game with one or two clicks to use the standard fleet that you specify and default to expo mission like AGR already does. Maybe include a box to specify the number of expos sent. And use an arrow button or key to change system +/- 1 as you suggested.

Edit: I think I figured out your argument. It sounds like you just want less typing, and more clicking to achieve the same result. I am not opposed to that. I just said the same thing in roundabout fashion above. The thing is, if you do all your expos in system, and use the standard fleet option each time to choose your composition, we're back at square one. Maybe I'm just blabbering because I choose to do most my expos out of system. The system seems clunky to me, however, since it's how I sent expeditions when I first started this game 15 or so years ago.

Quote from AGFS

Whats the point of customization fleet setting as there is only 1 combo for max gain?

Also you can do that but you have to own Commander

Cheers

I agree, I am thinking it would be more for players who don't yet have enough fleet to max out their gains, but this is just in the idea stage now anyway.

Quote from Xenomorph

this is debatable

I understand your concern. It's one thing when, like for example, you have a new planet, and you need to babysit it to get your mines and other buildings off the ground, or even when you're raiding inactives, and you have to probe each location and send a different number of ships to each target. It is different, however, in my eyes when you are doing the same exact thing, over a dozen times, to fill your expedition slots. And, if you don't like the automation, I propose a feature that you can activate to auto-select a different (or the same) system after each expedition that you send. I think mobile users would be thankful.

Quote from Cathedral

they have illegal add-ons and scripts

I think GF would find fewer scripters if, like you said, they implemented features that players must currently obtain illegally, but which can really improve QOL with hindering the engagement of the game.

I don't understand why you have to click so much in this day and age on a game, especially when adding new features like lifeforms will cause players to click even more. I think there should be a balance over time that as you introduce new features the old ones get easier to use, else the game in general gets harder to play, that is, more time consuming. It is even harder for mobile players.

It was likely suggested before, but I think it's very important. The game largely revolves around expeditions now. I think this feature can be much more streamlined.

Players should be able to fill all their expedition slots, with appropriate customization of systems and fleet settings, with the same/similar effort that it currently takes to send one expedition. Maybe we can also allow this system interact with the "Standard fleets" feature. I think the active player base might noticeably expand with just this one change.

Thanks for reading.

Good find. GG me.

Here's a wiki link, there's a table in there that explains it. I don't recommend crystal bonus slots. For the best metal production, slot 8 yields 35% more production and for the best deuterium production slot 15 offers the highest boost.

After I merged an account into a target universe, I made sure no fleet, building or research missions were happening then started some relocations on my planets, only to find a day later that one of my relocations failed.

I noticed that colo missions don't work on slots reserved for relocation, but I believe either new accounts merging into the universe, or new players starting an account in the universe can interfere with the relocation.

Can/will this be patched?

Say I merge to a uni early in the window (like on day 1) and schedule some relocations to another system, I receive a message saying that each slot is reserved for my relocation 24 hours later.

Will new accounts merging into the universe in that 24 hour window be able to merge into the slots I chose for my relocations? TIA.

^ That hardly matters, large short term purchases are highly damaging to the balance of a young universe, hence the rapid drop off of active players after only a few months. Even if players can regain a competitive edge with gradual purchases and subscriptions, it's often too discouraging in the short term to face top players with 10x to 100x your points which were mostly bought.

Add a universe in to the mix every 45 days and you have a recipe for dead universes all over the place. We should be getting merges at least every year with that trend.

Yes, either combine all the DM perks into a relatively cheap subscription or introduce some universes where the only DM options are those long-term, gradual subscriptions you speak of.
