the round is nearing its end and as usual we find "most boring round ever e.g." galnames and threats on the boards even we all know that such critc wont help at all. The general purpose of this thread is to collect some ideas what we could possibly change or what we want to see to be changed.

I think we gonna have to face the facts that the PACom is getting smaller and smaller and thus can "owned" by less ppl than ever. Its a fact, that makes it a lot harder for medi-active ppl to enjoy the game.
In general i think there are two motivation to play PA and ofc a mixture inbetween. The first is to just orga some stuff, hang out with m8ts and have a webpage to klick on when you're online. The second is more like orga stuff and enjoy teh triumph. I guess it was never different - just that its harder now to play teh first way which makes it less enjoyable and thus ppl quit.

So how could we increase the ammount of ppl next round??
- free accounts are a nice option but honestly too limited to have success
what about:
+leting them manage population and select goverment,
+keep the resource boni the way it is (its tolerable

)
+restricting scans to news or incomming scans (that you can't make an scan acc. of it but newsis are enuff to play on your own)
+"re"introducing a limit, I'd suggest a roid limit as real active player who spent that much time gaming could afford 3Pf for their hobby
+random planet

- community
is the fact why PA exists and the reason most ppl play it. The larger a community is, the less dense it normally is. Thus (at least for me), the galaxy was the most important community i got (exept my BG of cause :P). The current system seem to be splitting galaxys and made a some ppl quit (even with the exile option) as they are stuck inbetween ally and gal. Thus i think and intermediate between a 5ppl buddypack and random gals should exist. A good galaxy, is the easiest way to motivate "n00bs" to start the game and bring back old m8ts to play a round with.
+bringing back priv gals
+extending buddy packs (to about10)
+keep random planets (to about5)
+increas exile coasts

What I like
just the other side *G
- covops (yeh they can be nasty)
gives small planets a posibility slow the bigs ones (if only by binding their pop.)
- no eta-1 for attackers in custer (universe is to small)

cheers
