The bad Thing that didnt:
- Bush Still there

Re: So whats Changed?
Three players still playing the game.
Jolt not caring.
PA team being inactive
nothing really happening.

Re: So whats Changed?
Ex-players still stick around to troll or post generally useless complaints about PA.

Re: So whats Changed?
Well, allthough the game got slightly more than 3 players, the rounds numbers is like lowest ever, barely 1500 planets. Winner decided 3 weeks ago (although cant blame the pa team for that)
Both Kal and Appoco being away (ergo the inactive claim)
And seriously, Jolt isn't doing much and there are no news about any new things coming next round (most likely means there wont be any)
Besides, who are those ex players you keep referring to?

Re: So whats Changed?
Clearly I was talking about those guys you mentioned, the ones who're winning the round.

Re: So whats Changed?
Well i signed up for free account and it might just be me but it looks a hell of a lot worse, as in graphically speaking. I might be looking back with rose tinted glasses though and im always willing to give things a chance

Re: So whats Changed?
Right been playing for a bit had mucho fun but still getting used to all the changes. Im still of the opinion that the graphics are dire and anyone new coming to the game would probably think so to, they used to be better why the change? Still bit confused by one or two things, is cov ops actually worth it seems to be more of annoyance but i might be wrong not having played for long. Also i am greatly missing military scans makes things a bit more awkward, or am i missing something?
Am really looking forward to next round and enjoying havoc atm will hopefully be quite a few old timers joining up with me. Another thing thats bugging me is whats with all the vitriol on these forums, seems to be filled with a lot of nobs posting crap and generally being rude to every post they take a dislike to (more so than most forums).
Sad to see most ppl i knew are gone, i do recognize a few names but no one i knew well hopefully will get to know more ppl when the rounds underway.

It's a way to insert complexity into the combat engine. Without military scans, you'll have to work out the incomings with other scans (news, incoming analysis, advanced unit scan), and you can never be 100% sure what's coming. With military scans, it easily becomes very trivial (whether this is desired or not is debateable).

It's the reminders of the old playerbase, who are bitter for still being around. The elitistic attitude has spawned in a few years, and it's probably here to stay. Until F-Crew wins a round and everyone vanishes.

Re: So whats Changed?
Military scans don't exist any more.
For most players, cov ops is a little bonus, something to use to get some extra res, to annoy a few people. If you've picked a government that gives a stealth increase, you can use cov ops to get a buttload of resources, and annoy a whole lot of people, at the price of not being able to play PA the old fashioned way.

Yeah i had guessed as much, but i was just getting my whinge on for it not being easier lol. I still had a lot of fun last night attacking with a friend, i guess things are lax with the quicker ticks and ppl not caring as much. I'm assuming its much harder to roid succesfully now with a smaller/more active player base than it was back pre round 10?
Edit: is there any substantial archive of the old planets/gals about for rounds 3-7? Finished top 10 gal in round 7 but cant for the life of me remember any coords i had except for rd 3
