Immunity

[freeico]

Sorry for this matter. There are many different points of view.
1. If he is attacked by someone who is twice his points, he will turn to attack, these that are with less points to recover...
2. Of course this case and others alike, when the protection is used only to play protected to spped the player..., are something that we dislike too. There is a process of trying to change this way of game, and to find the right path...

This can be easily balanced by adding protection from receiving certain damage rate.
For example you have 1000 points and the attacker makes you a 30% of damage so now you should have 700 points left and then it would give you protection for like 48 hours or so. In addition the attacking range should be decreased to have better balance, like 70%-200% or so. I am just pulling this up from the old web based strategy game ASTRONEST which had this thing and worked perfectly...

Too bad that game is gone

2.Can I suggest that immunity should be allowed to stay, but that while you have immunity you are not allowed to attack anyone except players marked with (i)? This would allow you to rebuild, using your mines and harvesting resources from disused planets, but would prevent you from attacking others unfairly.

Thank you!

Well, you've got a point there, but...

1. Even if you have enough money you can't stay under protection forever. First, a protection lasts only 72 hours, second- you can activate only a limited number of protections in one round.

2. That won't be fair either. There are players that have low mine levels and only count on their fleets. If they can attack only inactive players they won't gain enough resources for anything.

1. How many times can you buy immunity? I didn't know there was a limit. Oh, and how long does each round last for? I haven't been able to find that out, either.

2. I don't agree with you. Provided everyone knows that immunity buys you a period with restricted attack capabilities before the round starts, then they can choose what to do. I suspect that many more people would invest a bit more in their mines, but that would be up to them. I agree that changing the rules part way through a round would be unfair, though.

For what it's worth, I've managed to climb the stats table quite well by living off my mines and harvesting from inactive planets - and I only came in several weeks into the current round in universe 1. Had I started at the beginning of the round, I would have been much higher in the table. You can do well without having to attack "live" planets (who might just attack you back), you know...

1.Five times in one round.This makes 15 days in a round(every immunity lasts 72 hours = 3 days).One round is 6 months for Universes 1, 2 and 3, and 3 months for the Speed Universe

2.Not everyone plays like you.In Universe 1 for example, the stats are WP and SRP combined(War Points + 1/3*Spent Resources Points) - I for that matter have 0/0/0 mines and all of my points are spent for ships and research.So I count on stealing and recycling other`s fleets.
