yes ill agree with that...u can only acs defend a player under 10k IF THEY R IN UR ALLAINCE,thats sounds fair...

I think its a unfair way to save your butt if you fleet save to a moon that is under 10k when your a higher player. It just shows how weak and scared you are if your hiding behind the protection that no one can hit you with your fleet there because of the under 10k thing. That rule for no one can attack people under 10k was there to help NEW members get a head without worry that the HIGHER ranks can't mess with them. I think there should be a rule with this. So I am with my guys on this one.

we all know YOU are rag ur in their allaince so u dont have to fear 1000s of rips and 100,000s bc coming at u.....anyway ur allaince has 0 players under 100k points however most of the other allinces does have players under 10k that need to get acs defending in the begining from bigger players to help them grow and to teach them,dont punish all allainces cause 1 or 2 of them dont have 10k and under players....as soon as someone hits 10k points they ussally dont have even 1 rip....but can get hit with 1000s of them...if u change this rule u should make it where u cant attack a certain percent lower then ur rank...o bet u wont like this idea will u....

Players need to protect themselves and not have rank do it for them. Hiding behind 10k noobs is smart but definitely bending the rules imo. As for what lordru said about putting in rules to only attack players within x percent of your score, that would be the worst rule to ever be implemented, 10k is plenty of time to learn the game.

I have to agree with Kick, 10k is long enough to learn the game. Lordru, you would be extremely lucky or have taken forever to get a RIP by the time you reach 10k. Personally, I think all of you big players who get 50,000 points a day have forgotten how long and hard the road to your first 10k points is. Even after that, you are constantly threatened by the Higher Ups.

If this is a matter of Multiplay, then that should be looked into, but for now I think ACS defend should be reformed. Just like you can't ACS Defend a person in V-mode, or attack a player under 1/5 of your points, you shouldn't be able to ACS Defend a player under 1/5 of your points, within standard protection rules.

I know, this would prohibit stronger alliance mates from helping smaller alliance mates from threats near their status. So, now I'm proposing that, along with my previous paragraph, ACS defend should be just that, ALLIANCE COMBAT SYSTEM DEFEND.

To sum it all up, only people within the same alliance should be able to ACS defend players under 10k points, which are also in the alliance.

i think the person that used the acs defend the under 10k person had a good idea. thus allowing him to FS safely.
what i find stupid is posting this in the forums so more people figure it out and do so.
you I.B's can cuss all you want about it and try to say it is a coward thing to do trying to provoke a person out from doing it. but really your just pissed because some one found away around having you guys popping every moon on site to get them on lanx. my hat is off to who ever thought of it.
i'm not to sure if zorg got on to the can't attack some one 1/5 your size yet, but i do know gumppy proved that one wrong many times with these guys that where so happy to finely break 10k points to have 100k BS coming at em

Yeah, that was never a fun part of my Zorg History.

The coward's are the ones that hide behind 10k people. I have not been in IB long. I have never fleetsaved to someone's moon hiding because I know no one can probe them because of their points. It's also like this people under 10k getting attacked and they have a big player ACS them. It's all the same. We ALL have to learn to PROTECT ourselves. Not rely on someone else doing it. Just because I am in IB doesn't mean I hide behind them now does it no. And lordru your not smart at all Just a few weeks ago or when ever it was Pk took my fleet. So yes I know how it is to get attacked. Also the 10k rule is just fine. Gives someone time to get to learn the game. IT's A WAR GAME! How many times do you people have to understand this before it goes in your HEADS? Learn to protect your fleet or get took!

its an empire game. meaning there is more then 1 aspect to it. so there is more approaches to it then just 1. fleeting is a major part of the game due to the profit that can be gained. but if you look around how many fleeter's are actually remain in the server. so some one found a way to dodge being hit. was a savvy move. but now here you are flaming them for thinking of something you didn't because your new alliance members know now they don't stand a chance at getting a taste of it.
now they have to actually utilities their time and be patient. instead of just launching a wake load of RIP's and waiting for something to come up on lanx.

(edit) and that still don't change the fact that posting this on here was a stupid idea since now there is how many people now going to try and use this tactic

Personally I love how much flaming is going on here, but it doesnt change the facts. Having an account created just to give it moons, then deleting everything so its back down to 1.6k points, and allowing people to fleet save to it, just isnt right. You can look at it how you would like but I personally dont believe this should be possible. Sadly most of you just have such a big hatred built up for all of the IB members that you cant look past it and see the facts.

I also think that some mods need to step in here and regulate a bit, these forums have had a lot of flaming and trolling going on and its no wonder that people dont want to say things here. I was going to post this suggestion but I dont like posting things here due to all the flaming. You all need to be a bit more open minded and think of this.

Im awaiting some flames now...
