    There are many ways to enjoy the game it just happens that at this point of the universe, fleeting is just not going to be sustainable for very long.

    You are so wrong buddy. Couldn't be more wrong.

    Yeah, I think this is gonna turn into another fleeter circlejerk, so I'm not even going to bother with a thought-out reply anymore, as all I get back is a two liner at best, from which it's quite hard to see any point of view seriously.

    That's a nice way to project from elsewhere, honestly, what a well written and constructive paragraph you wrote. I never personally bitched about someone being too overpowered, it's just ironic, that you want server not to die, but you're literally killing it; I don't really care what you did to become overpowered, in fact, I don't care that you are overpowered, but the fact here is that the style of play is just not healthy for server in the long term.

    Don't want server to support all types of play? Just want to crash fleeters? That's fine, but don't bitch when the server dies, because it didn't die from someone playing farming simulator, there's a reason people were driven off of it; in your proposition it would even strenghten your dominance and impel faster dying of the server; there's no proper way for new players to even start the server since they're just setting themselves to be a farm after 500k honestly, and noone's gonna start on Janice just to fleet at this point as it's futile.

    Plus the point of the game is really debatable, that's like saying point of life is shooting people with AK-47, because there's a war in middle east, or because that is an option for you. If the game's only point was to fleet, then there would be no need for mines, or collector and discoverer class ( which ironically is so broken it's actually used by fleeters anyway). You have to come to terms with fact, that your glory days of sitting on your ass 24/7 crashing fleets is more or less over on Janice, there's gonna be less and less people actually playing. You had your turn, and if the universe continues to support mostly this kind of play, it's going to die, period. There are many ways to enjoy the game it just happens that at this point of the universe, fleeting is just not going to be sustainable for very long.

    There's no compromise to be had. The server's already very favourable to fleeters, only way it could be radically improved for fleeters is didf, but that would kill every single miner on the server, and anyone that has any atleast decent mines whatsoever and isn't online 24/7; because the hyper fleeters will just raid them over and over, cough since some ally already kinda abuses the war-system to bash cough, imagine what they'd do with didf.... Fleeters already don't stand a chance vs artist's fleet alone, not to mention the whole nysm, so what will this server be if it goes this way? Even more dead. It doesn't take a genius to realise that if nothing improves to grant longevity the things will go the way the've been going since the start, or if it were to be more favourable for fleeters it would die even faster. Only way for it to survive is to go into more balanced mode.

    I would propose a lower fleet speed, so we can mine in peace more :]

    No DiDf, unless you want to get bashed into vmode.

    They don't need any defence, they're on 24/7 so this change would've only benefitted them, it's just others that would get bashed, so that last sentence is gonna fall on deaf ears. Likewise I'd propose something like 2x or 3x fleet speed, 90% deut consumption, and non-circular universe. Not that a radical change like this would be made, because let's face it, miners don't insta-buy jump gates etc., but it would certainly revive server. The 10-some remaining fleeters are bound to qq about this proposition tho, but let's face it, high speed unis are a short term thing, and that's it.

    Lmao, why should the uni server change cater to your needs? Whilst it is true that the fleeters with 24/7 expeditions are only people playing left it's because your little nysm rascapallion get-together perpetually drove everyone else away, farming for less and less. Sure, make fleets faster, def in df, what more catering do you desire? Everyone that built defences can just get bent then, everyone that can't really be on at all times can just go to v-mode pretty much same as 90% of server player-base has done already. All so you can profit few mil more. Sure, even make uni smaller, so you can drive the few active people out even faster, genius, that will surely help the server. The audacity to propose such changes here is almost palpable.

    I think you misunderstood. What he meant was he could prove the defender botting, not himself being clear player which would ultimately clear him (and his alliance) as you said; but that's not the point. Now I'm not taking sides, but he burden of proof lies solely on prosecution (the accuser), and for a good reason. Until then it's just hearsay in both cases.

    Damn... Collector or Discoverer??? Just what the hell will I choose? I need more info on Discoverer!!!

    Actually ALL OF US need some formulas and explanations of such.

    if a guide to the formulas and such hasnt been published by tomorrow evening, ill write something up and post it :D

    Does it really matter tho? The class bonusses, their corresponding ships and their bonuses etc. change on the fly withouth any notice or concern for players whatsoever, so the information would probably be outdated by the next day anyway. One would think there would be some kind of testing to balance classes out beforehand ...

    Seems to be problem related to fusion reactors. My slot 15 planets also made only about a third of what they were supposed to overnight. The production is fine when I'm online though. I guess miners can just get bent, having worst ships and now even thwarted production lmao. Way to go gf for bringing this mess to Janice.
