would it be cinsidered against the rules for the runners to be packin nukes? I'm not sure how you would enforce a no-nuke law, but if a runner in a merchant ship is taking time to stop and fight an IGS, he probably won't win the race anyway. It would be legal to have as many friends with nukes esco...

[IDEA] 1st annual Death Race!

1st annual Death Race The basic idea: “Runners” will start in Sol with a merchant ship. The first ship to reach a pre-determined star base wins the race (gawkers can loiter in UN space at the finish line this way). Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers. Non runners will be all...

Getting a balance through trial and error is not the way to go about this, I think. I'm not trying to be a smart alec, but that's the only way fine tuning ever works. Yes, what you said is correct about a puzzle type layout with no one perfect build. But you will still have builds that are more pow...

Rare event....i agree with you. This is a wonderful idea but keeping it balanced would be tricky. Balancing it would require taking a best guess at what will work, implementing it, and taking feedback from hundreds of players over months of playtime. That also happens to be what successful game com...

I think there should be a pod rescue career option. It could be something that alerts you where a pod S.O.S beacon has been activated and rewards you xp and money for hauling it somewhere. Killing a pod if you have this technology would lose a ton of XP though, kind of like a UN membership, but diff...

[IDEA] Real Life Invasion Alerts

How cool would it be to get a Real Life email, text message, or page when one of your colonies was captured? The email would be the easiest of the three to implement. Don't know about the others.

On the probability suggestion by Zoliax, here is a math formula that might work well to add some fun to the game: ((CA - CD) * 0.05) + 0.5 = ODDS OF INVADER SUCCESSFULLY CAPPING COLONY UPON ENTERING ENEMY DOME (The invader gets all the cash and resources he can carry regardless, plus maybe can sell ...

As you update ships you should put the latest version up above in the original posts, so people don't make off-base or confusing remarks. Good idea! Doing it now!

Barge is perfect. Flagship is good. Speedstar looks a little bit like a X-wing, but I still like this better than the other design. It's good. Whale is OK but a little puzzling. Maybe needs fins? Someone else said it should look more organic. I'm not really sure what to recommend on this one, but so...

When I get a chance, I'll add a scale for how wisdom affects abilities and weapons. This SHOULD help balance things. I'll just have to take time to delineate it. Gathering information will be sort of like how people find artifacts now. It would involve tipping for information and a probability, as w...
