Want to kill botting? 3 hour time limits. And you stop that grid wars crap too.

Actually, that kind of has the opposite effect. Because
people have limited times at keys, and all bots now
(more or less) support time management, you end up
with people that bot all of their time because they can't
be at keys with everyone else. Bots now have the
ability to log in and out on command.

It does reduce grid defense (assuming a time penalty
is in place too), but it increases the amount of gridding.
I have bot-based gridding scripts, all I'd have to do is
tie them into the TL monitor and grid every few hours
when nobody else is online. I could automate most of
it, and it would be tough to stop me. This turns TL
games into script war games. I see that a lot.

What we really need is a way to enforce uptime hours
on a game. We will have the capability do that in the
beta.

Well here my 2cents after the way the last one went and what I’ve seen posted so far.

1) Don’t do a death limit that will discourage most people for doing risky things like mothing and girding to some existent.

2)yes have a big bad invader that can photon and land .

3)but I’d say the main thing with the “tiebreaker” point system would be to award points for kills and offensive girding. 1 point per sec girded and 1 point for a ship to ship kill/pod. And none of this subtraction of points.

Don't get me wrong. I love bots they have their purpose. But I have GREAT keytime. There is no reason to bot me constantly. How can anyone learn if they are botted ALL the time

i think its time for a draft with ancients edits
