Post Tals

I mentioned this already, but heres a start to the idea:

Either create a new area after tals, or rework tals as so:

War of the Outlands

Before entering, players must choose a side in the war. Could be 2-5 'teams'.
Once you choose a path, there is no turning back. Each team has a strength and a weakness, but all sides are equal. There is a unique and focused goal for players of each team. 

During the last days of the set the teams receive bonuses for how well they achieved their goals and the war begins. Players will compete squad vs squad until all squads are eliminated. Last man standing wins the war for their team. Some sort of award is given to top player/top team.

Base Bug

One of the bugs that needs to be fixed for basing is the bug that makes new bases wait 2 minutes before attacking others... I'm not sure if this was intentional or a bug, but either way I think it should be revised. The only way I see this as being fair is if we go with Rays idea of making bases harder to break. Otherwise it gives the other clans who already have a base a chance to raze you before you even get a chance to attack.

Firebase exp multiplier

it should increase multiplier instead of keeping it @ x2

Temporal vet rank

Instead of resetting vetrank there should be another vetranking system.

Instead of alltime vetrank this system works for the last 10-20 sets (not sure on the precise amount but a years history would prolly work quite nicely)

The points you get are the same as normal vet rank but the vet rank you had from a year ago would fall of the scale.

Hence keeping this list with rather new vets

you could prolly call it a "top-player-rank"

It should also have it's own colour sceme just as veterans etc.

top 25 top-players should for instance have a yellow colour and the top one gold

/Krog

Another superweapon (or maybe another ravager)

Right now there is nothing you can do with accolades when you got all techs and 3 oblits. There is no use for getting more oblits etc.

How about a superweapon you can buy in talsia
costing 10.000 accs and 500 Trps

It should be a cranked up oblit, probably similar to the ravager.

The cost of the weapon is soo expensive that you can hardly get more than 1. Further more it will make sure people do more missions, so safe acc's.

my 3 cts

Muting

I got muted today for a single offence blablabla

but I feel the 10 hours is way to long for a mute. Surely for something as "harmless" as a single curse of anoyance.

Further more mutes should be for public chat only, private messages and clan chat should be available for the player.
Or at least there should be some way to appeal to the mute to an admin. Preferably the admin who placed the mute.

To make mutes "better" I also suggest to put them on player ip's not on player-accounts.

Now most people who get muted just change accounts instead of sitting out their mute.

but those are my 2 cents

Buying of uplink

What I would like to see is that you can buy percentages of mod uplink in your squad. For instance, you buy 10% energy efficiency for 1000 trp (dunno about the amount or the prize). By doing that you can make your own decision to go for trp or for a squad fully boosted because of the mod uplink without use that many modules in your seers.
Well, I hope this makes sense.

And on a different note, I don't like to reset Vet ranking, therefore it is vet ranking.

Fixes that have to be done

The history in basing must be fixed... I miss the info that gave you

imo the chat is shitty, there should be a irc server with a java chat box below :p but that's just ma 2 cents

Ranking

No matter what, under the current scheme the top players will set into boredom once they get amfds etc, and this is what drove many people away. A way to counter that is reinstate tourney, or maybe new areas in which players can battle each other - eg. having different criteria for entering a squad for different arenas other than BM (bot types, no. of bots in squad, weapon bm limit), and of course change basing :p

Something else which should change ranks is having a score for other areas of cybots which affects your rank score (so it's not based purely on exp which is boring) although only slightly ofc. If some 'drastic' changes are made then this would level the playing field I think.

There needs to be more equipment types added (new tech could also give excuse for introducing a new outlands area) instead of just changing BMs around, because the stuff we have now has been done to death - bases should be much harder to kill, instead of each and every setup being HS'able. Basically we need an element that will allow lower level bots to be somewhat effective at basing as well as the higher level ones (perhaps patrol/basing/tourney/arena-only equipment?) so that people can keep bases up without being on 24/7.

Some people are missing out because they feel it would take too long to get blue, or w/e. An old Hall of Fame list could be kept for the top vets/clans, and then reset everyone's vet points, make everyone equal again.

And if changes ever get implemented, would be a good idea to send a newsletter to every email ever used to sign up for cybots :)

Not really specific there ^, just for others to chew on.

Faster KC recharge

I miss the good old days where you could click much faster...

I'm not sure bout p2p (pay to play)

but the current system is working ok I guess and this way the new buyer will prolly want to invest
