Settings change himalia

Hello,

The proposal is interesting, but there's one option that bothers me, and that's the DiDF.

The universe is "dead" in military terms, you're in total domination (MANDO), this domination was already pretty well established before you became top1 and it's even truer after you've joined them.

I'm aware that the raiders lack targets and I'm convinced that this option is intended to add things to recycle.

But that would definitely kill the universe, even the miners wouldn't really be able to play anymore.

So I completely understand that we need to find a solution to revive the dynamic of the raiders, but unfortunately I doubt very much that this is the best solution for the universe as a whole.

Perhaps lowering the conso to 0.5 (currently 0.7) and the DF to 80% (currently 70%) would be more appropriate and would allow the miners who are still active to survive a little longer.

In any case, no matter what changes are made, given the current ranking, it's unlikely that the raiders will become very active again.

Wouldn't it be more relevant to try and push GF for a nice merger? I haven't looked at the possibilities by comparing other universes, but it might be a more sustainable option.

The rest of the options seem relevant, but have little impact on my style of play. I'd even be in favour of leaving peaceful fleets at x4 to give hostile fleets the upper hand.

Good proposal on my point of view. all points looks very good, specially the DiDF. to answer to you on this topic L'Arkana, if in anyway the universe is dead, this would bring more fun for the raider, make that player does not hide anymore behind bunker (which is part of killing the game) and also more possibilities for action (take DS on return, defend on DS and so on) so for me would bring more action.

all fleet x5 looks reasonable to me.

big support for these changes

You don't realise that if DiDF is activated, nothing will happen, the stiffs who aren't MANDO will continue to play vmode and the miners will activate it definitively as they will no longer be able to protect their production.

DiDF + Probes with cargo ON

There's no need to draw a picture of what will happen next.

I played already in server that were having the DiDF, there was much more action than in regular server and at the end of the day, miner adapt their way to play. by experience, I can tell it bring more game play

I think all of those changes are good, except maybe the speed, I'm fine with x4 speed. I think also that Ragnar is correct with the statement of the DiDF, I have also experienced it and it was bringing much more gameplay

Changing fleet speed doesn't make sense. Accounts are set up for each indoviduals to fs for 4x speed. Also for attacking, 4x and 5x is no big difference, just messing with fs.

Deut into df - good for fleeters, neutral for miners, overall it doesn't change established playstyle - OK

Probes cargo on - maybe risk for more BOTs, I am not sure how much they are still around. At 4x war speed, probe cargo is not that viable, like on 1x

Ignoring empty/inactive systems - no, this would mess with fs, like changing fleetspeed.

Def to debris - no, players built accs acording to settings they wanted to join.

Overall these settings would lead to more dead uni like it is now. The most active unis are usially with slowest fleet speed an lower df, where players don't get hit so easly, so they don't quit.

Easy answer is NO .. i was forced into this server from a x1... my RL at the time, ment i couldn't put more time into the game .. my game play has had to change yet again from 2 forced mergers ... if it came to a vote i would vote no

Server settings on Himalia.us are just perfect the way they are, I'm against any changes.

ESPECIALLY against defense & Deuterium in debris fields and the weird "Flight time/consumption ignore empty and inactive system" mod - this will make a regular timed fleet save basically impossible in an almost empty universe and screw up daily routine hard for everyone.

Hello,

I am a player who joined your universe a few months ago. I am a member of the rapidly growing SiG alliance. What quickly caught my eye was the vast military superiority of one alliance. Therefore, I decided to refer to the TOP1 player's proposal.

- The speed of the fleets in my opinion does not change anything here completely. This change continues to bonus players who have a huge advantage here. (Because how would it help the weaker ones?).

- Debris field deuterium ON- completely doesn't bother me although it is a convenience/ bonus for flotilla players.

-Probes with cargo ON- to this day I can't understand why this hasn't been introduced yet. Also yes as much as possible!

-Flight time/consumption ignore empty and inactive system ON- I haven't played on such settings, I suppose it will cause some problems so personally I am NO

-50% DiDF well the most important thing here is definitely NOT an option typically for a handful of the best 3-5 players who out of boredom will be able to farm the best miners for a profit and quite a large profit. This is such a biased server setting that I think this setting should not be considered at all on such an old server and such fleets.

Since we're already talking, maybe I'll write something too. I think it's worth considering some changes to prepare ahead for possible mergers. Some of the settings on newer and newer universes are ones we're going to get anyway, so we could get used to them now. Fleet speed I think we have a good one. The changes I would vote be debris field deuterium ON. Spy probe capacity also comes in handy for both economy and flying players. 50% DIDF.

I agree with what the guys above wrote ,changes can improve this uni which is not very popular amongst players,and prepare us for the uni fusion which I think will happen soon. probes with cargo and deuterium from debris field ,absolutely!!!for me,a higher speed would also be ok, but... a lot off people ,however,in my opinion ,will not want it

Okay so I came back from vacation mode and found my universe in hold due to ? a merger ?? anyway going to Himalia now all of a sudden I have :Lifeforms" which I am unfamiliar with. Where is the tutorial on how to play Lifeforms? There is nothing on the gameboard. Nothing on the forums except vague references to lifeforms in other universes. Can anyone direct me to the explanation as to how to play with lifeforms before I bungle it up in my account?
