new server stratagy petition (opening up on existing server)

[Benard]

Id like to start a petition to make the game more interesting and potentially more challenging:

on existing servers I think the game-makers should open up new galaxies that do not exist. have that 'area' be a speed server for a certain amount of time while restricting fleet movement so existing level 100's don't bull doze them over and then after an amount of time open up the flood gates.

dead servers would be revived.

existing players couldn't join the speed server If they were already apart of the 'attached' server

the idea:
(hopefully in simple terms)

alpha, beta...etc would have a second speed server attachment. which would add on 30 or more galaxies to the existing galaxies.

they would not 'attach' for a set amount of time, and would allow new power, old feuds and old friends to potentially clash once again. on similar fighting ground.

This wouldn't work, there would be too many people spread out

and speed server, so I go build a base there, build fleet quicker then send it back to the normal time zone, so a level 100's prod would rape the smaller guys,

building a few bases there (upgraded) would also give others an advantage greater

This is an FR, and a low quality one.

You got some people who refuse to learn how to play the game. AE is brutal and getting ziffed can be a severe blow to the ego. Rather than learn from the battles, the whingers tend to quit after one or two bad battles.

In real life, if the Romans did that, Carthage would have been the world empire of the iron age.

Look it up, battle of Cannae. Worst loss by the Romans in a single battle, delivered by Hannibal in the second Punic War. Instead of surrendering, the Romans built another army, played to stalemate Hannibal to deny him a war victory. 5 years later were able to defeat Hannibal when he tried to siege Rome.

Carthage was eventually exterminated, and Rome became the world empire.

too bad the modern AE generals are too fragile to bounce back from a severe defeat.

Or would rather jump from the burning ship to join the winning group.

What you wrote above is what happened on kappa after the so called fragile AE generals ( known as farms at the time ) on helion bounced back and defeated its foes the royals.

This is the only proper reply to anything by Ace Rimjob.

You don't have to be a military strategist to be good on this game, spotting a mistake and exploiting it is what usually brings home the bacon. Of course that takes balls as well which some folks just don't have.
Too many 'Let's be friends' amongst the less aggressive and experienced players. One look at a players level, econ and account age usually tells you all you need to know about your foe.

This post was made by SilverKnight who is currently not here hes posting on the my little brony site.

[ashtraynaut]

the strategy is to pay for 5 accounts, play on them and make more ppl do the same.

then you have a guild like MOE.


tactic = win.

game devs support this just as long they pay for the accounts.

The game designers are busy making pretty pictures of ae ships and far to busy to redesign the game. The ae community will have to do it themselves. There are various server pacts within the game. Alpha as far as i know works to a certain extent but people still claim that it can be boring. Kappa have just started a new server pact that will hopefully make the game interesting for new and old players.

Take a look at this thread and bare in mind that the pact will need tweaking to make sure it works and remains fun for all ae members that play that server. viewtopic.php?f=113&t=114773

its pritty much pointless to try to get "solution" for anciante servers...
AE has its flaws and the old servers are here to show where the mistakes are ... besides that, they are defected servers that are only for maintaining the simming players paying some upgrades from time to time... just a waist of hardware, that sooner or later have to be putten down, to guive space to the next version of AE ...

[RobbStark]

we should seriously consider random spawn only and restarts in the same cluster- kills moe, cripples royal

We can't have nice things because we have to many cheaters in here, though this should really be in the Tavern. I don't see any shi in your post related to politics and war, also I think your idea is horrible.

However, since we are on the topic of what AE should do with dead servers....

Make them Free to play with no need to upgrade...Or merge them some how, which that could be a process.

A Vs B
C Vs D
E Vs F
G Vs H

have a black hole or something, where Alpha can now travel to the beta vs or some shi..

Bigger blob stares.
I guess the 60 bil stare in alpha isn't big enough for you

here is a better idea.

[reethok]

This should be in the tavern, and your idea is not reallistic at all. AE is a strategy game, not an RPG game so it's natural that old servers die.

Merging servers is something that several games do and it works pretty well.

About the 60bill blobstares, AE should put in random events in the game, i.e. "P40:55:99 went supernova, everything within was destroyed",that'd fix it /
