Re: My Concerns & the State of the Game

Greetings, Tafoid
Sounds like you could use a "war" as part of PM Academy sometime. PMA could most definitely benefit from your august presence, when we are hopefully able to be active again in the future. Yours respectfully, Yoda

Re: My Concerns & the State of the Game

I feel partially responsible for negatively influencing the current state of Stellar Emperor with the re-activation of PM Academy in Beta War 6, and especially again in Beta War 7. PMA seemed to stifle game activity, even though at the same time it did afford a group of players in BW6 a vehicle to p...

Agriculture/Hydroponics

AGRICULTURE/HYDROPONICS The following babblings are simply my personal thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints, (many of which are probably incorrect or viewed as foolish), developed over the time I have enjoyed the priviledge of playing Stellar Emperor (SE). I am not recommending any particular approach...

Planetary Management Academy History

PMA HISTORY The following history is to the best of my notes recollection. If there are errors, they are entirely my responsibility. If a war is not referenced, PMA was not active. First PMA Appearance - Andromeda 10/02/98 - 10/31/98 4th Place Yoda, Hetulik, Kahnn Andromeda 11/01/98 - 12/01/98 2nd P...

Planetary Management Academy

Greetings, Stellar Emperor Community, Recently, some interest has been expressed to me relative to the possibilty of the reactivation of the PM Academy Alliance in SE. I had considered the idea of re-activating PMA, but haven't for several reasons: First, time constraints - an issue I am sure we all...

Re: Thoughts on gameplay

Dear Caleb, In the spirit of your previous remark: "No harm has every come from an idea being brought up and rejected, but loss can come when ideas are never presented in the first place." The following thoughts are tweaks to SE that might change certain dynamics of game play. I don't prop...

Re: Thoughts on gameplay

Greetings, Caleb,
I, of course, bow to your SE wisdom - I am even honored you took the time to consider my babblings at all. I do appreciate your comments, and will not hesitate to put forth any other dumb ideas I might come up with, as I still enjoy all aspects of SE. Yoda

Re: Thoughts on gameplay

Greetings, As this BW3 is coming to it's merciful end this Thursday, had some additional thoughts; thanks to Tafoid for starting this thread. First, on a personal level, this is the first war since early 1999 where I have been even semi-active on an alliance at war. Back last century, time constrain...

Re: Thoughts on gameplay

Greetings, Tafoid - First of all, your posting is an excellent essay - absolutely no need to be sorry about posting it. It is interesting, insightful, and thought-provoking. You astutely and accurately point out the tremendous attraction of Stellar Emperor(SE): that there are many ways to play and e...

Re: Beta War 3 Rule Changes

Very excited about the extra planet - One more planet to PM! - love the flexibility and additional possibilities it can give to a player's strategies. Just a thought - perhaps you should consider keeping the gun/fighter costs the same as present until the effects of the return ratios adjustment are ...

Re: Next Beta War (War 3) will be enforced as mule-free.

Have no issue with this ruling - never had a mule account myself, and when PMA was active last century, never knowingly permitted mule accounts on PMA - but, at the same time you enforce this rule, would maybe like to see the availability of additional planets - say 7,8, or 9 planets, with 6 scoring...

Re: Alpha War 3 Feedback

Dear Caleb, Appreciate reply to items I noted. As I think about item 2, I like it; the randomness of space flight is reflected in the game. It should not be changed; overflights and adjusting for them are part of the game. As for item 3, the blue box glitch - it occurred once more in my continued sc...
