New CQ System

[hody]

I must say I am not a fan of the new CQ system. I used to enjoy going to support my allies at CQ's in Sol, I will not longer be able to do this. My clan can not afford a Sol ship to allow us to land. So last night after IGA was done I logged off and watched TV. I have not done that since I started playing this game 9 months ago.

I actually had several guys join my clan just so they could do a CQ. Their clan was unable to afford a ship in Gemini.

I took my time getting done with Sol and was looking forward to attending lots of CQ's waiting for Draconis to open. Not now I guess.

Is it possible to have a mix of new and old CQ systems on the planets? Like OB having the old CQ system and Cosmo having the new? So us players have a choice?

If the problem is that the new conquest system is too expensive for your clan, please understand that we are trying to change this.

Please give the new conquest system a chance.

Cheers,

Well, the end result will be the exacy same thing which happened to the old cq: the winner will be the one who fields an overwelming amount of allies. And those who can't field an acceptable number, will ultimately turn away from cq.

With the proposed system allowing every small clan to participate, you will create situations where a huge group of mom ships will huddle together, obliterating anything in their path, while one of them takes beacons with ease.

Where's the improved alliance system? Or maybe: how about using an alliance mom ship instead of a clan one, because then you'd have to be more considerate when making alliances, dividing planets among allies and where to apply what resources.

This new system is rubbish. Gone are the days when you could go to CQs solo just for fun. This is a backward step. Thumbs down from me :frown: :frown: :frown:

CQ is not meant for solo. We are considering some alternatives for solo or squad based combat.

So, went to Cosmo CQ last night. I usually enjoy this CQ. Can usually get a good fight, win or lose.

Well, last night, my clan showed up at Cosmo and GoA and Hammers were there. Not a red in sight. Never seen that before at Cosmo. There are usually a few reds there for some fun. We agreed that my clan would take Cosmo and the person I assigned the conquest ship to landed and took the bases. Everyone else sat in orbit. Yawn.

The old CQ system had its problems but at least it was usually a good fight. At this point I really do not see any reason to attend CQ anymore.

Well, i agree with Hody.. My clan is finsihed with going to CQ for a while. We did give it a try for a week, it ended up in chaos.. Cq times is bad. If we gona stay at top in that we need to do cq every day for 8 hours. The new cq made a game go from fun to work.. Well i have to much work at home and in real life to make the thing i relax and should have fun with work to..

So. My clan is not doin more than max 2 in week now.. we want to realx with game and do other things than CQ..

So, All other clans.. Have fun with the new system and get busy with it.. I am not..

I agree to. Our alliance did 3 cqs last night and only at one we saw reds(hammers). And because we were with 4 clanships that one was over very quickly.

It is like Oldviking says, cqs are supose to be fun, not work. Cqs start at 15.00 now and go on till the last one at 23.00. This is not doable. The only advantage it has is that all clans have a chance now to take a planet. But with the lake of reds at them you don't stand to make any cry and they are over in 5 minuts.

Furthermore the fact that if you kill the clanship of your opponent they are out is not good. Like on the PTR you should be able to enter again by paying the levy again. This way you feel you have a decent fighting chance or at least some much needed fun.

I hope the old cq times are put back in place and that you allow multible particapation per cq. otherwise cq died with the new system.

I took cosmo on my own whilst on the phone to a relative in New Zealand........................Fun talking to family .......... Not fun doing a CQ !

 

[pbhuh]

Well, I like the CQ now. I stepped over to The Praetorian Guard to help them with Iga. I got out of the jackpot 2450 cryonite. Maybe this is nothing vfor the big players but for me it was much.

That is only because all our allies paid the levy. Not all did at the other cqs and if one clan goes for a planet and no reds show up. no other clan will pay the levy and you dont make anything, except you make a loss, because of the 15% that goes uo in to thin air.

 

[pbhuh]

Ok, that 15% loose is stupid. If that's just given to the clan revunds
