With no end in sight after months of fighting, the warring factions of the galaxy are either unwilling or unable to continue. Infighting and internal political struggles are now the norm, as various figures dissatisfied with the current leadership attempt to take power for themselves. An effective "cold war" state has developed between the various factions, particularly the dominant Cybernetic Front and Empire Reborn, as overt fighting dies down. It remains to be seen how long this tenuous peace will last, however, as new political systems and technological advances begin to change the face of the galaxy. (PlanetWars? is closed for the time being. Stay tuned for new developments.)

Fair enough. I never really undertood PlanetWars as much as I wanted to. What are dropships and what do they do? Why can faction members sometimes be on the attacking team when the same faction owns the planet? Why does it seem to be so Clan based and not Faction based?

Dropships: Increase influence from victory and help determine battle location. Faction members on both sides: Balance issue being dealt with next season. As for why it seems to be clan based, mostly thats due to player numbers. Right now most factions are basically made of 2-3 large clans that activly play and keep up with the PW map. More people however would create more clans per faction and thus more variability in things like planetary control.

Not if you dont specialise your planets in that. I mean you kinda miss alot of starship factories while we put millions in eco. Like willk said earlier: Dropships: Increase influence from victory and help determine battle location. you never attacked me with craploads of ships most ships i saw was a fleet of 20...With over 60 planets i would have expected fleets of 100 ships.

Solution to IP buyers: buff everything else. Double, triple, or maybe even quatruple IP won through battles and ships (increase IP lost too). Buff defenses too. Balance is relative. If something is OP, it could be nerfed by buffing everything else. If everything seems OP, nothing is OP. Why not nerf IP buying? Simple, because its the only way to increase your economy once you have all lvl3 mines, and increasing eco that way is anything but fun or OP easy.

Adding new level mines would be appreciated (at least by me), but it wouldn't solve problem, hence you would max them out eventually (unless you could infinitively increase efficiency) Forget adding new mines, adding many new levels to old pw units would be nice in my opinion (like nerfing lvl2 wormhole and adding lvl3 one that is or better than current lvl2, or lvl2 jumpgate)

I make so many typos. I meant infinitely, not infinitively. And when I said that, I wasn't joking. If it could be done, I would like it, though I would still like IP buying, as it is a safe place to go when your high level mines are becoming border worlds:.

Why was PW closed down? I prefer standard games myself, but PW is a nice distraction to keep people playing, and I support anything that will help this community thrive. So why'd it have to go down? Too difficult/costly to maintain? Not happy with the gameplay?

It is only down until they finish the new version.

Fair enough, thanks for the info.

now that I think about it, why couldn't they keep PW running until new version was finished?

People wanted to end it. I told them this wouldn't bring about the new version any faster, but they still wanted the season to end...

It wont take longer than year or two tops.

My Idea: leave PW running, then stop it when new version is out. Lets unfreze PW, and stop it when new verison is out. Better than waiting.
