• Add ability to activate piracy mode
  
• Defenders see only a signature of the attacker.
  The signature is a code which changes with every tens attack under piracy mode. This is important to identify pirates later on. Because this open a market for pirate bounty hunters with the help of the signatures.
• Attacks under piracy mode causes less preparation costs. Perhaps 10 – 20% less?
• If you kill fleets or groups in piracy mode you will get bonus credits from the pirates account.

  ...Another interesting idea is for each player present (not attacked, present in square) to have a separate chance to recognize the attacker. That way there's an extra reason for players to talk to each other.

  Sounds cool too!

Hier ist z.B. einer ;-)

Bin ich nicht einer, aber ich muss mein deutsch einueben :p

• Bypass the caps

• It does create more product.
• It 'fills' the universe up more.
• Its also fun.
• It can be used to help self/others.

• Unseen abuse factor:
  - Attack another player which your main not like. If you didnt interact before, no one will realize it. In best case the alt is your guild member.
  - dropping demand on the public market and buying in cheap with the main
  - destroy demand in cities from other player with placing industries and OC the location
  - installing an alt in cities to manipulating the elections
  - even parking of military units in an alt account is critical. Why? If I fought an main and he can easily stock up his military with alt units its a great advantage. Even if hes paying the regularly market price for the units! Hes is ready to fight me again, Iam not.
• Over power: An player with multiple accounts has more units, credits and economy.
• Evasion of the logistics caps which allow for a player to be larger than the intended size.
  
• Frustrating of new players and "nomal one account" players.

The point is: We have strict multi-account rules and arent really able to find easy abusive behaviors. So in fact every person with multi-accounts can really easy take advantage of those. That circumstance makes the rules set completely obsolete! Thats the truth about your fantastic world and Im pretty sure that the multi-account users are knowing this fact very well.

A serious proposal from my side:
How about an automatic multi-account overview on every corp overview? This overview shows who is hardlinked with whom. Hardlinked is: IP, Cookie, Flashcookie and/or Browserfingerprint for example. In addition a tab with the last 100 contracts with that specific corp would be really helpful! Those tools would gave the community much more power to take care of the multi-account rules. Perhaps its possible to convince "normal" players that fair play multi accounting is possible. Somehow. But as long as we are not able to track this down Im absolutely and 100% sure that there are dozens of abusive mutl-accounts are out there. Because? Nobody cares, nobody can proof.

So true. All those tools may at best lead to more speculation.

• Round (session) period: 3 or 6 months (tbd)
• ... or until a given guild goal is reached. For example: Take over a planet full of NPC (as guild)!! Who can build the first industries on that planet... there a plenty of possibilities. Even a simple which guild has the highest net worth at the end would be pretty nice.
• Speed: 2x (tbd)
• Systems: just Sol / depents on the registered players in a round (tbd)
• Cost: 50% paid accounts and 50% free accounts or just only paid accounts (tbd)
• Punishment for PVP: deactivated

• Round base would more entourage players to play as guild for fame (like a football league). Who will be the best guild in economics, diplomacy or in military?
• More strategy...
• Real battles and action
• A kind of goal and competition: Who will know the game best and lead the ranking in the given time? All players are starting with the same...
• PVP forced: Doesn't matter if you lost all in a hard battle about resources because in the next round I learned from it and can choose another strategy.
• Less development costs and effort (time) as completely new features which would makes the endless game more attractive.
• Both versions could be run at the same time. So there would be still gaming fun for every one.

• When a guild member can put all his money into the guild bank before he do a sneaky attack, he can avoid the punishment cost for that.
• Logistics bonus sounds nice too. May you can shift the logistic points to the guild bank too? Or we create a new mega structure which gives guild logistic points. If the guild bank has enough money, the upkeep costs and logistic points will handled by the guild bank / guild logistic center. There we have a nice guild bonus for members. Is't it?

• Drag & drop
  Move single orders via drag & drop into another position in the order list.
  
  
• Simple change order
  Changing the input by clicking (double click) directly in the cell (for order number, amount, move to location, product, and so on...).
  
  
• Check boxes
  With check boxes it would be possible to implement multi delete for specific orders in a list. Or... mark them grey what means "no action" but keep it for later (re-activating) which is useful too.
  "No action" / grey is more in a larger purchase plans. I need some stuff on regular base for the city and it would be nice to have a big order list were I could blend out some buy orders including move to location stuff. 300 turns later I need this buy orders again.... so just clicking for re-activating those. "

Im not sure if a guild megastructure is a good idea, you're putting the guild features behind a paywall of sorts.

However it seems really easy to dump your bank an the last round of combat I can "freeze" banks when they are in combat but that get a little tricky also. (this is why it never got implemented) you would need to declare "In combat" as being there are still units in attack mode at the end of the turn after combat so people cant suicide single level 1 infantry units to force "In Combat"

• If Guild bank megastructure hp >1 the attacker will get 10% (tbd) from the guild bank account automatically transferred. Probably you can use the monster bounty screen / mechanic.

I DO want to make a capture mechanic, as in I take all your standing product and ITEMS from a location, if attack you at a location and wipe you out, all the product and items at that location immediately switch ownership to the highest military power corp. That would be a full blown version of the "Raid" mechanic in place now and it would allow item grabs

The charter is expected to address these following issues:
- The appointment of a moon manager (Someone other than the emperor)

- Max 1 research facility per corporation with HQ on Sol

- Max lv.5 research facility

- Limitations on military presence at the artifact site

- Limitations on production of dangerous artifacts

Other possible additions to the charter, based on community feedback:
- May not own any other research facilities (possible exception to earth mayors)

- Corp must own a certain % of industry on earth
