Stupid two minutes. A busy day today and i log-in 3-4 annoying minutes after invation. And that was the third time today someone beats me by these few minutes (or 4 seconds)

It's a nice feature (especially for those having lack of time for warp races) although i agree it should be more difficult. In these few days i already boosted pirating numbers, killed or almost killed some transports and few assaults, recaptured planets soon with full resources or valuable nearbies. That makes the game interesting but still it's too easy targets compared with the award. I haven't lost any expensive assault today through deep and when flight changes will be implemented (i'm against them or agree with double U usage only) it will be not ok at all. I also support at least one turret. Don't like stars thingy and higher deffence. We shouldn't start crashing assaults on these targets and turret would bring much more delay than additional assault (i tend to make nasty mistakes while training and must bring 25-100k assault to reduce deffence a bit but that never brings any troubles).

I'm not sure about the non-deffensive resources. I'd say frequency should be reduced maybe twice and hyper loss chance a bit increased instead of reducing it. I captured 10 planets of the first 13, but that's probably because there were not many racers. Today capture timing and number of participants increased a lot and chance to grab many of those planets for one person is not great anymore. And if ships would be lost more frequently with increasingly lower chance to capture that planet as well award might seem to be reasonable.

Stupid minute - at least I got to ram my assault in frustration (and for points)

15:23:13 | Rukna Baisioji Akis planet Aeson has been attacked by Lakamar Sinji, The Swarm.
15:22:15 | Alien Invasion Fleet planet Aeson has been captured by Rukna Baisioji Akis.

I really think that the points should be reduced as well - attacking another player is worth far more than attacking SPC or Aliens who can't defend themselves....

lucky u! i got a failed message pirating 400k T from your assult.

Yeah, server speed has its drawbacks. It is impossible to pirate now a ship moving to target since pirating requires more operations than capturing.

true, wehn i clicked trade u had the 400k T but i only got around 50k and that was the remaining T from the attack not fair!

It does add some excitement to the game - but in my opinion too many resources and too many points for attacking a non player - I believe if the value of the points for attacking was reduced and the amount of non-defensive resources cut in half, that the targets would still be attactive and would create "live" action, without overly rewarding those who capture them....

for me its fine, as long as u can't use the market to transport defensive resources, thats what spoils all the fun

As for award size we could ask Arcanix does he have any profit from aliens thingy

But current awards are really too high. Or risk too low.
