I would looove it
But you must have a sector limit.
Maybe not to close to the scoreplanets.
And maybe between the 800/800/80 and the 600/600/60

a bit of a cheat isnt it

For example Mr X has a alliance

Mr Xs alliance is intrested in taking over the blackhole

so Mr X tells his alliance too respawn and be the coordinates right next too the blackhole eg 500/500/49 or something

we need too make sure that this system is not abused

hows about we have a think of it for a while non of the good players will be on too September anyway so its pretty quite

....Scenerio #2....someone sets up multi's (or even non-multi new players he introduces to st) all around someone he does not like and proceeds to rat-pack...

I think that this is a brilliant idea, but as has been suggested before there must be some restrictions.
Such as:

1. No planet may be under 10 sectors away from the black hole.

2. All planets must spawn within 400/400/40 and 600/600/60

3. Players should have a choice. They can either start off at a point that they choose, or else they can randomly spawnlike the system now.

Scenerio #3: an alliance respawns all members on OPPOSSING sides of the black hole, chrono, grav....the alliance then has the ability to "hyper-drop" on the locations relentlessly....using it's new "MTWG's"....

I don't know about choosing where your planet is created. You don't get to choose where you're born, do you? I think the realism of the game would take a hit if this was instituted. You would get clusters of alliances, and god forbid you're a player without an alliance next to that cluster. You'd end up being the victem of Sunday Pillage Fests...

DavAlan got it. The mTWG would be used to alliance wars only...

and the alliance clusters i wouldnt like as well...

I think the curent random selection is the best possible method.

I agree that the idea can be fun, but the way it goes now is much more fair. This new option is way to easy for cheaters.

Like DavAlan said Rat-packing can take place very often, that reduces the fun of the game.

Let it all be fair and respawn randomly

To be honest the Pioneer Ship i think is a bit shitty... Because you move your ship-yard etc... To designated prewarp world. Then you have to return to your planet to recylce it!

noone complained - it was just an idea i had and i wanted to see the pros and cons.

i think the cons outbalance the pros. so there will be no change

Admin, I think that Admins and players alike should start focussing on an idea for pre-warp planets instead of where you start off in the game.
When last I posted a topic about pre-warpplanetsthere was a huge response, and I knowthat 95% of spacetrace would like to see something interesting happen with them.
And before someone says something, NO MANPOWER

The last time, I beleive that you said you were working on an idea for the pre-warp planets?

Regards,
Methi.

you were a bit drunk, anyway i am happy that it wouldnt be a change;)

Prome, it's not for bother you, but I DID READ your post and i didnt like it, sorry.
A half of me wants something in the pre-warps and te other half dosnt want, but all my fucking body is asking for rounds, never mind what happens to the pre-wap. Let the game be easier, like it was before!
