General Game Discussion

[Astax]

I like that ports are raidable with 5-6 people. Makes for more action. I don't like that two races don't have a ship that can raid well, this places artificial constraints on already low population. I think this would also translate into smaller alliances, where some alliances would find themselves with 6 people on, but two of the wrong race to conduct an OP without taking :D load of pods.

Anyway, to keep game going we should focus on two fronts:
Add new players
Add new things to keep older players interested

However when adding new things we need to make sure the game stays simple at its core. I think that will keep new players from being totally bamboozled. I recently tried ME and I was totally confused by the amount of :D I saw. They added things left and right and it just creates huge barrier of entry. I was left not even knowing what to do at the start of the game.
