Defending

Seeing as there is lots of talk about defplanets/multiplanets whatever...

Why not make a solution for it? Personally i was thinking something along the lines of this:

If you are a member of an alliance then only following people can defend you
Alliance mates
Galaxy mates
Cluster mates
Which is basically the thing you would need anyways

If you are a new person who just started playing and is trying to make friends but you haven't got an alliance yet:
Everyone can defend you. A multi won't defend his multi account anyways as it's not important really for them and people can help you if they are friends.

Obviously use the same eta advantages as there are currently in the game

I think by using this alot of people wouldn't be able to use multi accounts then anymore and it will become alot harder for them to use them regardless.

Re: Defending

Dont you ever send defence to your mates, who may or may not be in your allaince?

occasionally someone needs def and i know them through #strategy etc, so as a lemming def h0e i will help them.

i must admit, its not all that frequent (once last round :\).

Re: Defending

I do that aswell UN but i won't mind giving that priviledge up if that means a 50% cutback in total multi accounts.

Re: Defending

Well since the game is so much focused on working with allies, and not with non-allies like it used to (unfortunatly imho) I can't see why this would be a bad idea. It's not clear to me however how much this will actually help. So in that sense it may not be worth the effort.

Re: Defending

i doubt the big guys defend the little guys alot in all honesty.

and the little guys don't have the friends that do it everywhere anyways. but something has to be done with the current situation

Re: Defending

i agree with the idea as that is what you do anyway - maybe would encourage cluster alliances instead of multi def planets again

Re: Defending

Very much dislike this idea. Back in the beggining of PA one of hte perks when alliances were not hard coded in, was that you could defend anyone. I, like Sovey, do occasionally defend a mate of mine if they ask for it.

Plus, this idea doesn't stop cheating at all. Multi planets would still exist for those who do fleet donations, top player scan planets, and other various things.

Re: Defending

Doesn't help all of it obviously but it's a start. and tbh you are exi, i doubt your hc likes it when you use your fleet constantly to defend non members.

If by doing this we can solve a BIG part of the multi problem i don't see how it can be bad?

Obviously some small changes might be ok?
For example you can use this rule for the first 400/500 ticks only maybe, which means you can't use it early on when multi planets are most often used anyways.

Note that that was only an example and i'm sure others can think of much better options to refine it.

And what do you find more important nitina? stopping multiing or a few defencefleets that you can send to someone else? To be honest i am quite surprised you don't like this idea seeing as you are a member of #support and should be happy to stop anything that makes multiing easy.

Re: Defending

Seems a ver y sensible suggestion to me. As well as making life harder for multi accounts it also enforces the alliance membership maximum much better.

From a 1up perspective it'd mean than some of our scanners who arent currently in the ingame alliance would have to be brought ingame or would be unable to send defence (or receive it). That seems a small loss given that all other alliances would have the same thing - and any alliances whose members use multi planets to defend would suffer far more than us.
