Interesting concept although I would actually expect them to either all be created at one time, or create Atlas first and Cygnus last.

Your idea centers on the "strong" accounts being sent to the uni with the slowest base growth speed which basically keeps giving the other two unis a chance to catch up and play with the stronger accounts in Atlas. Eventually the players who are actually strong and talented will be bounced back and forth between Atlas and Belinda and the newer/not skilled players will be in Cygnus. Someone would have to be absolutely crushing everyone to consistently stay in Atlas.

The last one I can can think of that everyone forgot: Steal a DF

Edit: I almost forgot, rewards from events

Do not complain about free stuff. Before these events started we got nothing. There were times before we had faster research days, cheaper DM days, etc. too so please take the free stuff we do get and be happy instead of always wanting a hand out for more.

If you really do not like the items then I propose GF just change the res amounts to 4500001 metal and leave everything the same. Next event we can go back to 4500000. Not the same as before, so no issue

Slot 8.

i wonder how to get AM for free

Sleep. Set your clocks to standard time instead of military time

Taking down over 8K RIPS with 34kk profits is really impressive. Congratz, enjoy the spoils, and defender, FR if you choose.

Quote from Shinjite

Looting paid DM is a no go in my opinion aswell as it could be considered stealing.

GF separates bought DM and free DM already so it should be easy to implement i would say.

You could also go for a new moon structure that mines Dark matter (at low quantities as not to disturb the $$$ for GF)

Not sure yet how this DM can be looted however. If you can loot the DM you should also be able to fleet safe it. It would become a 4th resource to fleetsafe. (this is fine with me)

I'm all for the moon DM mine. That would actually be an interesting idea and mechanic in the game.

Quote from kewlness

I am not opposed to the idea.

However, how would this work for new universes where an honorable fight could be two digits worth of HP.

Would the player get 1 DM then?

Haven't exactly thought that through, but minimum 1 DM could be an idea. I think it might be a good encouragement for upping your game. Again, my suggestion to add ways of earning DM isn't supposed to break the premium nature and it's not supposed to make people stop paying. Earning 1 DM (in the new universes or old) isn't going to give you any way of spending it (right?), but hopefully that would make players aim higher and keep playing.

More to stealing DM: will it be better if you can only steal if, again, it's an honorable fight? I'm thinking of protecting the lower ranked players who pay from super high ranking players as well as inactive players.

- high ranking players are less likely to attack players at a super low ranking in comparison, due to limited profit. If said lower ranking player pays a lot, that just gives the higher ranking players a new reason to attack them up to 6x (standard bashing universes) per day; and possibly per planet too. Seeing you can't bring DM when you fleetsave, I don't think this is a good idea

- I don't know what your thoughts are on protecting inactive players from losing DM, I'm thinking of legal issues since we are, afterall, talking about stealing money. I know the game already tracks the amount of DM you bought and the amount you found, deducting paid DM first - could this be used to avoid legal issues? So maybe the only DM you can have stolen from you is the value you have found

Quote from Road Runner

Would be fun to see a big spender getting crashed and losing money at the same time :)))

Of course the game can't let that happen - people would stop paying. That's why when you steal DM, it has to be a very small, symbolic, amount. Alternatively, you use your DM if you're paying for it

Honorable fights yes. Stealing no. Absolutely no. As a f2p player every expo dm find is a treasure and it takes forever to have enough to do something with the dm. Halving astro or another large tech takes over 200 DM finds as a collector so I do not care how "symbolic" the amount is considered, it is still a lot if I've been building dm up for a long time and getting it the free but very hard way.

Huge profits! Enjoy the spoils! Defender, FR if you choose.

In .de they put out a message about mergers that included this:

"The following universes will NOT be touched during the fusion round due to age and user feedback:"

How is GF collecting "user feedback" before mergers are announced here in .org so we can have a say? Because I really don't want to lose Dorado as it's the only true 1x legacy setting uni left on this server...

Display More

Your feedback has been noted and forwarded.

Display More

If we can feedback like this, can I ask that you take it into consideration and pass on that others and myself do not want to see Uni1 merged into another universe.

The settings should stay as they are.

Reason being it is the oldest surviving universe in .org and is one of the most balanced and stable universes to play in.

I'm sure many uni1 players would agree.

Display More

Not every universe is going to be able to be saved from the merges when they do happen.

Just because I am forwarding the information does not mean the universe will be saved.

Make no mistake, this is Gameforge's show and they can do whatever they want.

Somebody is going to leave the merges disappointed.

That is the nature of merges.

Display More

Ultimately I know someone will get disappointed but my feedback is also that Dorado players should not get disappointed #savedorado indeed

Alright, as the resident German Admin and also .de Admin You can of course post CRs there. Nobody does anymore because they use another platform where they can openly flame and insult - and not slight banter, plain outright insults and other stuff that most people frown upon.

https://ogmem.com/ is so f'n boring...and I was told you can only post CRs on the .de forums if you go through the board mod first.

There is no hate on the .de forums, it's...horrible, everyone loves everyone there, it's icky. Hell, no one even complains about the staff.

All they talk about is how much they love their damn mines...

Well, I mean, mines are pretty great but at the same time, I'm sure they make for an incredibly exciting reading experience

Quote from esio trot

[align='center']Looks like he forgot about this one fleet, but sure as shit I didn't.

I think that makes the score something like

Jay 1 : 17 esio

lol. Another nice smash on your favorite revenge target. Jay is probably wondering when that score will be considered settled Nice profits, great humor, and FR Jay. Better luck another day

Awesome hit chocy! Keep up the nice work. Defender, FR.

Nice profits on a gutsy launch. That is a lot of res to leave lying around even for #1. War Machine, FR although I'm sure you'll have it all back in no time.

Also, I know you do not have a lot of posts, but this post hurts to read. Just a side note to clean things up some if you plan on posting more hits.

Congtats everyone on the hit! Insane profits and what a huge smash in a legacy setting uni. Glad you were able to finally get him after all of the hard work! Looking at the rankings it is just bonkers to see an account that large lose over 60% of the account in an instant. He went all the way down to rank 15 and way down there in fleet to like 45. Enjoy the spoils and maybe next time I'll get in on the action Or just probe in the middle of the hit for real to spice things up like Valeyard wanted

Quote from Godiva

Now that the events have been running for some time I would like to see some more variety in the types of rewards.

Example:

Typical one is a platinum planet booster for +20 fields. Almost every event has one of these.

Why not 5 bronze for an event?

My reasoning: I have put platinum boosters on the planets I need them on. I can't stack the same level of booster so any additional ones either just stay in my inventory or go to planets that already have plenty of fields. It also means that players have more options to spread out the reward.

Same could be said for many other boosters. I would accept 4 bronze boosters in the place of 1 platinum every now and then to have some variety. It could be argued unless you putting boosters on every planet, splitting up a single 40% worth of boost is safer from a production standpoint because you don't have one outlying planet that needs to be resourced saved on a different schedule then the rest.

Thoughts?

Display More

A few more cargos, a little more defense and viola! FS problem solved

On a serious note though, some bronze boosters every now and again are not a bad idea, but honestly GF usually offers gold and platinum for fields so just pick one or the other. Not sure how big your account is, but we have not had enough rewards events yet for me to put a platinum on all of my planets. If you still have issues, pick the gold option every now and again. The rewards picks are a balance like everything else in the game. Just a point of brutal honesty, if you need >35 fields from a platinum and a gold and have already cranked terraforming >6, did you really manage your account well and keep a large enough colony? With all of the bonus fields unis and the previously mentioned ways to get a ton of fields, I'm thinking probably not. Just my two cents.

Nice hit and great profits guys! Enjoy the spoils! Defender, FR.

Hello players,

As we get closer to the end of 2021, I would the community to reflect on this last year in OGame.

Tell me who you would place in these categories looking back over this last year:

Top 5 fleeters

Top 5 miners

Most feared player

Most improved player

Top alliance

Most feared alliance

What you believe to be the best hit

Remember, board rules apply so no bashing/trolling/flaming/ etc.

I made this a spam thread so the rules will be more lax, but keep the banter friendly please.

Display More

Top 5 fleeters

Pagan

Lucky

Vale

Algo

Bala (When the account was not in v-mode)

Top 5 miners

NoName

Zoltan

Gullcsi

Yan Haiqin - The guy keeps chugging along quietly at a really nice pace. Hard to catch. lol.

Zoom

Most feared player

PAGAN - Not really close here. As soon as you see him you better batten down the hatches and change everything you do because apparently you already messed up.

Most improved player

NoName - This is a tough choice because I agree with Pagan that what Vale has done is incredible. Pagan is also a good choice because he ground his way to rank 1 and made/is still making huge gains. I picked NoName because the guy scrapped billions in fleet to become a miner and has been wildly successful. Not a lot of players can make the transition and thrive better than before.

Top alliance

Wicked - Not really very close here

Most feared alliance

Wicked - Also not close. Top 2 individual fleets and another at #5. The alliance is also closing in on more military than the rest of the uni's alliances combined. (Still a ways to go, but that gap is closing.)

What you believe to be the best hit

Solo Top 03 - [TOT: 16.927.294.000] PAGAN [WCKD] vs. Pies (A: 2.198.029.000, D: 14.729.265.000) TP: 2.518.804.359 Because who doesn't love pie? Also, the story was really good with everyone getting a few slices. Some more than others.....Looking at you Cathedral

Quote from Klaatu

I don’t understand the Bombers ?

Fodder I guess.

Slow ships to save fuel probably. Congratz on such a huge smash. 18 bil profit is awesome! Defender, FR.

Quote from Shepherd

Quote from kewlness

In my proposed way it would be a simple 1-6x fleet meaning all fleet speed types would be set to 1x, 2x, 3x, etc. for each target.
The initial settings poll would lock the war fleet type at 1x, 2x, 3x, etc. but would allow alteration of the peaceful and holding fleet speed types with a simple majority poll.

Subsequent server polls would allow the ability to change any of the currently allowed server setting changes using the server settings rules.

Can you ask GF people for Dorado to stay isolated of merges ?

Those who want can transfer via graveyard there. Or can we have suggestion of Dorado type universe. Either here or some other community if possible.

Everything else you are suggesting sounds good. Maybe you could ask for opinions on discord as well, since few people voice their opinions here.

Thank you for conveying suggestions

kewlness I agree and I feel there are a number of players who would like to keep at least one server at the legacy settings. This is also great if there are community merges because then other communities will have a legacy server to merge to!.
