Topic: Which Map do you like better?

 - SB's are not destructibe by mission. Only by Scorched Earth. Bats and BS are.

So planets can be blown ups but not starbases?   Seems a bit silly.

(Personally I think we should move away from this.)

Why?

I think it's too easy when peeps can switch back and forth between PvP and hexx-flipping races. There should be some hard choices to be made there.

e.g. If you want to flip in a DF, your PvP's will be in an NCC. etc etc.

You should really read that thread in the link I posted above. Yes, SB and Planets can be destroyed. New SB's can be 'allocated' not bought, and placed (edited) on the map and Planets can be terraformed. Can be. That's why that thread you hijackers are corrupting was posted... to talk about this stuff. You're hijacking this thread now.

I'm not going to be the one to tell players they must fly one race for an entire server. Most players like the option of flying a variety of races and ships. It adds to their gaming experience.

Unlike your issue, I have a different gripe about multiple accounts. I'd like to see players not use pseudo names for multiple accounts. I like knowing who players are when they switch races for more than a few reasons.

This one, on a much smaller scale with less neurtal space, but the same idea of irregular borders and such.  nice straight borders and uniform DVs are for the unimaginative

Custom Map DV's by RM's throw out uniform DV's.

Problem with articfire was it took forever to get from one front to the other. That map, PvP players aside, with 2-5 DV's per hex would still work today. But to appease the PvP players... it's just too much a hex flippers dream. Sorry.

You can still do it on a smaller scale with less neutral space and although RMs can customize DVs you can have hex DV maximums aand starting values different for the various hexes of an empire, not just a uniform number.  This will give an RM more options to work with when customizing.  You can make some very low DV outlying area which while not neutral space can server as buffer zones within an empire.  A similar style map to the AF one can be done with the lower DV as you stated and with the map being 25% of the size of AF, maybe less, and still capture much of the same effect.

Make your own map then. Assigning 400 DV's the RM's can place in their own space is a lot of work for the map maker. Dont ask too much of them.

EDIT: The starting values are 10, the max are 20 and then you have 400 DV's + or - to place.

Voice coms Thurday, pick a time, PM me, and show me how to use tha mapmaker and I'll do it.  Not one to ask somebody to do something I wouldn't be willing to do myself if it is possible.

Catch u late that night. Best way to work out map ideas is to trade them back and forth. I look forward to it.

I'm there.
