Invasion 3042 goes to the USA! Yes that right, thus far we have had a fantastic response to the planned move to the usa, raising over four thousand dollars thus far! We are now over 1/3 of the way there!!! Amazing support from the community! But there is still a long way to go.
Please read the 2.62 update for the INCREDIBLE bonuses that you as a player get by donating to the server move.
Also a big thanks to splurch for his mech icon of the uber Uncle Sam mech thats given to donators who donate over $250 dollars
Again thank you to every one has donated thus far your names are up on the honor roll.
So guys please help support this move, and tell your friends they need to support this too!
DONATE HERE!
A HUGE reminder on donations, right now, its incredible value, the Aussie dollar is worth as much as toilet paper, with the exchange rate being .66 us cents = 1 Aussie dollar!!!!! Great for players, even more value for your money! - the down side of this is of course the USA move is now about 30% more expensive than planned, but we will see once we have reached our goal figure where the rate is at.
Ok this is a huge update lots in it, mostly bug fixes and the like but there is one large new addition:
The War Planet!
Here are the rules.
1. There are no rules.
Just joking! There are more rules than you can poke a stick at.
The war planet is to be used for any player to fight any player, you can be of the same alliance, same house etc, it doesn’t matter, however be aware that the AI will not shoot or move if you are on the same side! However if you are enemies it will still spit in your general direction.
Any player can claim one of the 9 available sectors on the planet (1 belongs to Comstar and you may never attack it, HA!), you don’t have to have jump routes to it, just like the pirate worlds.
You can unclaim a sector on here at any stage provided you are not in a military operation against that sector.
This sector does not count towards your sector cap, nor do you need to have a planetary command and control facility to claim a sector.
The zones on the war planet have ZERO buildables. Therefore some raids and theft missions may not be a wise choice as they will yield zero returns.
Attacking someone on the war planet does NOT restrict them in any way, they can be attacked in other zones they own without any issues. Likewise when a player loses/wins a sector on the war planet they are not restricted at all.
Normal war rules apply, in terms of attacks, lead times to attacks, cease fires etc. However for invasions the lead time is based on a 1 hex jump.
The main design goal of the war planet is to allow players to fight each other no matter their affiliations, they can perform “Trials” per se and generally blow the crap out of each other without having to trapse half way across the galaxy
Wins and losses from the war world count as per normal wars, likewise BV killed etc.
So enjoy the war planet!
Battle maps.
Every zone map in the game has been recreated, we have tweaked some terrains around a bit, and also made changes to maps so that water and buildings do not occupy the first few rows.
I’d like to thank players for their input about the battle maps, great stuff.
Battles stalled/ending.
Thanks to a player deciding that it would be best to stall out a battle until an invasion timed out there will be a new rule in place, upon reaching the 250’th battle phase all combat shall cease until I could be assed to getting online, in which case ill move units to a random distance and they will shoot each other, or ill delete all of the units, and depending on how im feeling about who stalled out the battle ill probably perform a nasty action on your empire.
Again, id like to stress, YOU the playerbase dictate 99% of what happens in the game. So stop blaming others, grow some nuts and play how it should be played.
Recons now give you the ability to store and see the lz maps.
You can now view your own LZ map from the maps page.
Marik and CSA ranks are now in, Leaders may modify their ranks to meet these new images.
Cheers
