I am Master Blaster. I played this game for many years, just recently I was hounded to come play a game. At first, I thought the many new advances had made the game much more stable and more configurable. But after playing a while I realized something. This game is nothing like the game we used to play. It really makes no sense anymore. The evils are not against the goods anymore, there are HUGE megacorps with evils and goods on the same corps. There are planets that can reach L6 in one day. There are ships that have ridiculous new names and can be reconfigured in all different manners. Colts with Holo scanners, Flags that can carry Ptorps. 150,000 fig ISS's, etc etc etc. What I want to know is whats the point? Used to be that everyone knew what was and was not possible in the game. The ships were always the same, the sectors were always the same, and it took a month or more to get your planets to L6. You could go from game to game and with a basic knowledge, perform pretty well. Now, if you dont have 150 hours per week to discuss, test or create new scenarios, you will never be able to compete. You have to have a college degree to manage the corporations now possible within this game. I am disheartened. Well, for those of you that remember me, I was always the thorn in everyones butt when it came to playing this game. I am going to be that thorn again. I am assembling a new website devoted to the OLD way of playing this game. I am going to see just how configurable this new arrangement can be. I am going to see if I can set it back to the old values as closely as possible. This means that when you come to MY HOUSE. you will know what to expect. You will NOT be able to make an L6 planet and acquire 150,000 figs on the first day.
Watch for me, I am back, and I am pissed...
