Well when all 3 or 4 remaining Alliance-only players have their perfect world and perfect server, they can do what they want. I just wish that TPTB would have the nuts to tell the non-Alliance player base that they really don't give a rat's ass about the other servers and that if they don't like these Alliance-Based changes, they can just suck it.

The abject lack of Administration response to this thread tells all of us on the FFA Server everything we need to know. There's been no "we're reviewing the situation", no "we are looking for ways to separate the servers in terms of programming", no "maybe what's best for Alliance is not best for the game overall", and not even "deal with it or quit cause we say so".

Yeah they really do need to stop making changes in places were it wasn't asked for
<~qzjul> it gives you a good introduction to orbital mechanics and a good appreciation for how central delta-V is and thrust to weight ratio
<RaTSFYA>The only thrust to weight ratio I'm worried about involves the women I pick up at bars

My lack of response to this and other threads recently has more to do with the fine bicycling weather and the long days =D I just logged into 126(120) =( 17 hours of daylight today! Sun set at 10:08 PM :)

I'll address this thread & stuff soon; I'd hoped to adjust FFA with martian quickly as the resets happened, but then it got bumped back and back... anyway, I will get to it; all next week looks like pretty fluffty weather =( thunderstorms...

qz should move to finland, then he could say bye bye to bicycling weather.

past 2 days weather: +5-10 celsius degrees, rain and hails.

I don't see anything to the contrary, so I'm assuming this is still active as initially laid out for FFA. Anyone have any interesting land trading feedback?

i have already missed a large number of turns due to not really feeling like keeping up with the set to set major changes. you all are changing so much fluff it is almost like homework to fluffin keep up


a lot of people play this game because it is easy, and familiar. bastardizing it because a few people yell louder about things they dont like than people that keep quiet because they are satisfied is stupid, and a good way to kill the game faster imo.

take that for what you will.

I have no clue what to do besides explore build buy some tech and logout currently... changes can be good and keep things lively. changes that suppress ingame interaction are terrible

FFA needs to bring forth the mighty 80% land rape!

Country A)

NW 1,000,000
Land 10,000

Country B)

NW 100,000
Land 1,000

Country B hits Country A with max military strategy, as Tyranny in a PS, Country B gains 8,000 land. Weeeee, death to land trading scum!!!

Who needs ghost acres when you can rape!

I just made a lot of suggestions here:
http://www.earthempires.com/...hanges-32078?t=1403879186

i like the first suggestion in there the best. make people hit each other or they face penalty. all-x shouldn't be encouraged!

"- Reasoning for this change: Makes land trading slightly more expensive, cracks down on obvious abuse; should boost military kept on hand, thus reducing suiciders; may boost troop market slightly."

I don't see it. All jetter is still the way to go for me, so military is boosted but not defense. The logistics of keeping equal amounts of troops and then breaking those amounts is a pain, don't have the time. Maybe as I get up above 20k a combination of troops and jets will be the only feasible way to continue. PS is completely out of the question now. These limitations set by amount of military attacking are applied after military strat correct? So if I don't have the military to max my ghost acres then strat tech is useless?

Don't think this is needed in FFA. The limitations set last year keep land trading in check to a point, as do all the war clans and suiciders on the server

I was geared for a netting set, but because of the changes I don't even want to login to the server and have lost tons of turns. I am also all ex now lol

Are you kidding me? It's already a server where 1200 or so players in 8 major clans or so NOW can't effectively land trade, Ghost Acres are set on reset-long DR's, and you have to have a bazillion god damn jets to GET GA's, and you want to PENALIZE players for going All-Ex?

Are they fluffing retarded or just joking?!?!?
