PLEASE NO, just make an extra 3 month server or 2, that'll spice things up enough :) (make them bang with 1 month between them for time frame advantages thx :))

Lol, no one knows how toonces' mind works, so there is no point in asking.
My guess they'll wait a bit before launching a new perma this time and work on the big patch.

Originally I had dreams of what permas would be like... there would be 3, one with 3 corp size, 1 with 4/5, and one with 10 or so. I never dreamed of pollution though and in these awesome permas were constant wars between giant megacorps while further down were small corps battling with each other. It wasn't supposed to be like this... =(

i agree each new perma leaches off the player base. I was lucky to have started on a perma that maintained a player base of over 30 people for over 2 months. But these days its gettin alot worse.

We don't need more permas...we need more active players. Adding another perm will only weaken the player base in each existing perm. No more perms should be made. Improvements to existing perms should be added to allow for growth.

Their have been plenty of suggestions to improve current perms that would inspire people to want to play.

~New ships or revamp a few of the existing ones
~New planet layouts
~Exp for finished buildings equal to the rep/exp gains that invaders get
~Corporate apprenticeships
~Expandable galaxies

These are just a tiny portion of things that could be implimented to bring more players back to the game. I won't even mention anything concerning the "current patch". :roll:

I hear the guy who did the ship art and them quit PTT, so they dont have a guy workin on the art team... Also heard the guy took the software he used to make the ships and stuff with him... Toonces would need to hire an art guy for dev team..

No new permas mean the older ones get revitalised, there was 25users online on new hope today, a couple of months ago it was 1-3max :)

No, but my response was explaining why we cant have new ships.. yes there are other art devs, but none of them specialize in ships.

In response to the poll:
No, unless there's mass rampage and more server space, and Toonces has time to kill, and people to annoy.

In response to Talek's ship post dealy:
I don't suppose there will be new ships, simply modifications on the existing ones, I believe that would be better instead of having a list of 6000 ships to choose from just because some people say we need "variety:" we already have [some] good ships, and only need to rebalance some of them.
