Attacking other players

ok well no offence but when my friend recruited me to play this game i thought the whole thing is great so far except one thing, the attack system. you can only attack 5 times, upon the 6th attack u get a slap on the wrist? really? :wall:

i used to play a game online much like this one (honestly this one is far better thought threw/build :ugeek: ) and in this game you had something called attack points(im prolly totally wrong on what it was called) but lets say you had 10 attack points, every time you attacked it took up so many attack points, 5 for example, meaning you can only attack twice before you had to get more attack points. in that game u just built them up over time.

what this does is prevent the player with the highest stats(the OPed ones) from raping the weaker players and keeps the power in check :naughty: . just a suggestion let me know what you think. :D

Well, first of all you have the whole attack system wrong. You can each target (planet) five times a day, not just five times and then you're done for the day. Personally, I don't like the idea. Fleeters attack, at least this is what I've heard, and correct me if I'm wrong, about 40 times a day. Limiting us to attack points is not a good idea.

Look at the rates of some people attacking, Thorr has over 40k raids. Several others have over 10k raids. That is their style, attack attack attack. Limiting it in any way besides the bashing rule + player protection is unnecessary.

meh just seems OPed to me. i got school&work so i got maybe an hour or two to actually play this game so i cant get near as much done as someone who isnt doing anything. just seemed like it would help balance things out. like in world of warcraft(im not saying this to start a bash fest on wow) they recently(in cata) made it so u can only do so much in a day, like raiding and crafting things, to keep the balance of power under controll. so one player isnt all powerfull.

There are different playstyles you can choose from to suit your tastes and activity.

You have to understand that this game is all about time invested. If you can't play for at least a few hours a day then don't try getting your hopes up on attaining a high rank. It might seem harsh, but that's the way it goes.

The only playstyle that will give you a decent rank with minimal gameplay time is mining, it will take a while to see to benefits and point jumps, but once you have it warmed up it's quite a big points giver, even if you can only log in for 30 minutes a day.

On the attacking thing, the rules are you can attack any given planet or moon up to 5 times in each 24 hour period. Considering how many planets/moons there are in the game you can have attack missions running 24/7 and never break the rules.

Yes, you need to spend hours each day. If you have planets on different locations it means you have wide array of targets.

If you cluster everything in 1 spot you will most probably become someone's farm.
