They've done that before too!



I find myself feeling that a 7 week round is a tad short too - but clearly a round should not last longer than it was originally announced to be. I wouldnt mind trying a 9 week round, especially given the much faster start-ups that this round experienced, as that could liven things up quite alot.

Another thing with longer rounds and roids is that for most planets, they loose ships and resources in the process of capping roids - if a normal landing takes say 72 ticks for those roids to repay, then you need to hold onto them for that long to make it (value-wise) breakeven. When 72 hours is 6% of a round, that doesnt give alot of space for all that many landings to repay themselves. So, i think its a valid consideration.
