Compared to other Universes, much less Lifeform Universes, Zenith is **SLOW**. I mean the latest Universe in Cetus that debuts in 2 days has slower Peaceful fleet but every other Server setting dwarfs ours in every respect. Their Economy and Research are substantially higher, Deuterium consumption cut in half(which benefits everyone but Fleeters especially since Generals effectively have 62.5% reduction), DF% is the same as ours along with +25 fields and DM bonus. Virtually everything Cetus has is effectively what our Universe ought to move towards. Maybe not **exactly** like Cetus but I was thinking along the lines of the following:
Peaceful: x 3
Hold: x 2
War: x 2
Economy: x 6
Research: x 12
I'm less inclined to boost Fleet speed but more inclined to boost Economic output because ultimately that determines how quickly our accounts advance. Economy dictates Mine output and what we get via Expeditions. Through that dictates how large our fleets become and hence how many ships our fleeters can put into Recyclers. Keeping Fleet speed as is would mean I could step away from the screen and not be crashed in 30 minutes(45 and that's pushing it with Cruisers/Pathfinders) and although lowering fuel consumption would be nice, I feel we shouldn't change things drastically. This is a 100% Universe, and it should stay that way. Doubling Economy and Research speed would be a big change as I see it. What do you all think?
