To start my thread, i would like to discuss the topic of tournaments. They are very unfrequent, but a lot of fun when they are on. I would like to request more tournaments (still staying with normal tech only, no ancient as it has always been) appearing in askone server. The rewards do not have to be a tournament ship or 1 month top cry booster etc. Just some of the smaller items, maybe the lowest cry booster or a cry vault, 1 month 50% membership or a few graviton packs etc. It will bring some more fun to the game as a lot have quit due to tau ceti being rubbish (you did a bang up job of losing paying customers there by the way) and all we seem to do is sit in sirius as was before. The tournaments are the only real pvp aspect of the game that i deem fair. Strong long tech saw to rubbish pvp's that last 2-3 seconds. So pleease bring more tournaments out for players to join, have some fun and maybe win small prizes (i wouldnt even want anything, i buy all my boosters but just want the pvp side of the game revived!)
Second, Colossus. I have barely seen in the last few months more than 10 people turning up for colossus. I believe the reason for this is if it is solo play, people still end up teaming up on you. How to solve? 1-2 GM's online during the event to check history, if killed by 2+ people on a none-squad based event the ones that broke the rules get orbited and kicked from the system. Another BIG reason many do not turn up for colossus pvp events is due to the loss of cry whilst fighting. Maybe a global cry protector on colossus would do the trick and no "gifts" for the winners are needed at all?
A seperate issue for colossus, is the fact that if you pvp a friend you give them your tech, i.e. speed actuator, protector (sq based battles usually a prot you dont want the enemy to have due to being on your friends list), buff's and whatever else there is.
Now, to entice more people to turn up to colossus. I think a cry protection for 1 month or a 3 hour cry booster for top 3-5 finishers (or some other cheap booster/grav pack or two) would do the game good in its pvp aspect.
I had told previously the old GM team and they had said they would forward it and try make something happen to liven the game up. But i never heard anything back and now they all got sacked.
Hopefully people take the time to read this post, maybe even give constructive criticism and their own ideas of how to bring more pvp into the game.
Thanks, cs
