Low number of active players, piggy all over the place, no real tactic involved, bashing lowbies gets you in the top10, alliances try to exploit every grey zone in the rules... isn't it time for some drastic mesures ?
- introduce non playing planets to increase the universe size (defended with PDS, no attack fleet). Place them in the galaxies with an incentive to defend them (NPP host Platinum roids giving + x % to the whole gal - cumulative if you steal those of other gals)
- change the races for a branched tech tree (see Gates test), with multiple targeting
- raise the bash limit
- place all the planets out of tag in autogenerated alliances (good for noobs)
- hardcode a treaty system between alliances (War-Neutral-Allied)
- re-introduce quests
ah, now i feel better
