why such low turns if you are trying to test it under modern conditions? almost every board runs multiple unlim turn games... i for one wont play in games with under several thousand turns, and realistically prolly wont come off of the unlims im in to play a turnlimited game.

I have modified the topic to reflex it is Classic TW TWGS and not the actual Beta server to prevent any confusion.

I am also moving this to Open Discussion. The TWGS Beta section is specific for posts related to the Beta server and test-related posts, not other TWGS running the new revision.

Sg,
No fig decay? Do you mean it will be off or the standard 1440?

20k is really high for a 900 turn solo, consider maybe half that?

If not can we have victory conditions?

I would like to see at least 1200 turns per day in the solo, anything less in a 20k universe is a heart-breaker to me. Besides I like having turns come back in a nice round number

I think that there should be a death limit to solo summer game (assuming it works). And that the solo should be lower sector, even in a Basic Merf at 900 turns thats 450grid a day add a Time Limit (Again assuming it works) and you have players only gridding when others are offline. Even as the game progresses and TL Bot's that login when certain end game players enter you have a much lower tpw cycle for each grid sector taken assuming they do nothing but grid/defend. More turns would help rectify the 20k sector issue if you wanted to go the opposite was with it 1500/+ imo.

My Suggestion:
10k
900turns
ISP = On
10 Death Limit (Allows for much more depth in the game imo, especially a TL game ((Think offensive figs,mines, anti-grid techniques in general when player is offline))
Fig Decay = 1440
1/2 Cit /w your CFS ship edit

No need for victory conditions as assuming death-limit works it will self moderate and 900turns is a max 900sectors in a scout assuming no obstacles see death limit.

Please look at the post in TWGS Beta about the death limit test I did today.

how does the relog penalty work? i havnt been in enough TL games to notice.. everytime you relog in the same day you lose the penalty amount?

Not quite. Every time you log in, your time will be debited at least the relog penalty. If the penalty is 5 minutes, and you log in for 6 minutes, 6 minutes will be debited, but if you log in for 30 seconds it will be 5 minutes. This really effects limpet clearing scripts, and similar.
