That's fine, but perhaps it'd be good to review the planet defense order then?

As long as I've been playing Tradewars, photons have NEVER allowed you to bypass fighters on a planet. That would be pretty neat to have a super photon like that, however, I'm pretty sure I'd never build a planet under such circumstances. I would just buy myself a good photon ship and take everyone else's planets at the cost of a torp. LOL

And what version did you start playing D? I spent 2 years manually playing v1.xxx - v2.xxx. I'm not a programer, but I do have a pretty good eye for things not behaving as expedted. You all have had a pretty much static game to play for the past 7 years (since last update in 2004). That's a lot of time for new facts to replace old ones in your memory. I left in 2002 so my memories of older versions are more prominant.

Perhaps a hot place has frozen over, and there are very few things upon which I'll agree w/ D, but he's probably right about that.

You Know this is really a moot point, You have already made it clear your going to do what your going to do even after Stating that you had NO plans to make changes to in game play, If I recall me speaking up about that last time is why I got banned by you about a year ago and my point then has is becoming more true today. To late now to do anything about it and that is why my post was not directed to you. Again the facts are the facts. I don’t have a positive attitude about it and that’s not going to change, Your threatening me does what now? Make me want to be happy there are less player, less servers and now more script issues?


I was Originally addressing Cruncher, to bad your sensitive about it.

Your ridiculous, making threats that whether you follow threw or not again doesn’t matter only lose one more of your ever growing player base. You’re the one addressing me for stating facts from the point of view of a player that is out here playing, server hopping to what servers are left, and making a comment that is factual whether you knew it or not. You want some constructive criticism then accept what I stated and stop trying to defend your self when I’m not even talking to you.

You are (at least what left of them) and you don’t have to read what I write.

Again I wasn’t even post to you or even for you originally, but not insulting you after what you have done and as sensitive as you seem to be is hard. Again games where it is and going where it’s going nothing I could say is going to change that… Also why I get to say “I told you so”

Seems you also have a poor memory as SG was the one that urban me after my time out for telling you how changing game play was going to a negative impact in the community and a bad Idea for TW.

Kewl, it has nothing to do with memory. Whether or not you were back in when SG passed away, I asked Thrawn to allow you and any others back in at that time. I don't keep tabs on you.

If he makes a different game available, why on earth would that bother you? This sounds like someone from a fundamentalist medieval religious sect - "if they dont play my way, burn them at the stake/cut their head off/stone them." How can any change affect your game? Unless (here is the rub) it attracts the player base. Is that the concern?

It is my goal to continue to work with you and others to tweak the timings to the extent that we can in order to retain current gameplay.

Give me a toggle to turn the bots off, and allow open public multi-player games and we'll see what happens.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to do that, but the way you're approaching it will have the exact opposite effect.

Maybe so, but the sysop will be able to locate the shark in the guppy pond much easier and ban their IP should they care to. Right now, they can’t.
