im sticking to what i thought before buildings were even introduced, we dont need them, and they only hurt the game... plain and simple.

I was joking about the ship finder ship, if yall noticed

But then it wouldn't matter if people kept on ships.
People can keep on ships.
Building's didn't FIX that problem, they gave incentive to NOT do it.

one building that i do think should be made is a scrap shop, toss old useless ships in it to get a return of half the resources used to build the ship..

Limit the number of h/ws to 5, and introduce a system where the attackers gain a profit for attacking. Those are my only suggestions.

Proof that nagging really does work!

Limit amount of H/W's (we could have a poll for this). Toss out all the old buildings. Keep turrets, and maybe warp generator.

Add a couple of new ones that are sensible and helpful without providing to much of a change to game play. Junkyard to recycle old ships for example (watuppdog).

Create a new leaderboard for most HW's taken. That would be sick.

I suggested limiting to 10 Hws the first day SL 1 was back
Really limiting to 10 HWs I think solves most of the problems...also...making ships die that were produced on the planets...should be reintroduced for anything other then assaults and fighters.

There had been talk prior to the crash about having a partial return on crashed assaults in HW attacks- make it a lil more profitable considering the generally weak non-def state...

me and a couple others had talked about the need to make attacking and building HWs up both attractive-

HW building attraction- decent interest and at least a few good valued buildings- but limit the number of planets that can have buildings/interest to 5 (whether have to select them on planet screen or what, dunno)

Attacking- Some felt a downside to the game is the time it takes to build up for attacks- so we felt that you should be able to increase production using morale- .1% increase in production per 100k damage done to another player (.1% minimum so production planets count and SP/Aliens do not) with a 100% increase max- defending player drops a related % down to a minimum of 0 morale which would be normal production rates. ....

There were a couple other notes on it, such as a bonus for attacking someone in the top 5 for previous round and bonuses for those top five also- as well as neg or pos for attacking newer/older players.

Wow I like Cajin's idea. Using that, 10M points = 100% ? Maybe should be 1M instead.

ohyeah i liked that moral thing we talked about, expecially adding a bonus if you hit anyone that got on top 5 or top 10 last round, that would be nice.

You figured a lil off Pray- it is 1M points for 100%- 100M Damage or 1000 gathering planets (lil more time)- and with 50 20x planets and the 100% bonus you could achieve 90M defensive resources per round reasonably- which makes me think of another question- will all the planets in the reset be 10x... will move my post to a new posting to see comments on it since it isn't strictly buildings....
