Hi there,
I was wondering if this topic has been raised in the past or not. After quite some time of not playing planets i decided to restart my intergalactically career and have some fun.

Unfortunately, my skills have suffered a lot (and i was never a super experienced player) and now i found myself in a situation where in all new games 80% of the players are highly skilled.

For a noob like me it's therefore pretty hard to play good games and to get more experience.

Rookies have basically two choices, ally with one of the big guys and do what they tell you or get crushed in the first quarter of the game.

Therefore my question.


What do you think about a 'Max rank to join' for new games similar to what planets.nu has.

Looking at the number of players i could think of cutting a line at Lieutenant Commander level for lower experienced players (rank ~<10K).

The big guys still have enough other games where they can dominate.

Hi,

I would appreciate that as well!

And if there not enough players joining I would suggest to keep time for registration limited. If let’s say after 4 weeks not all races are filled then though luck but game will start without them.
Killrace would be good here also to wipe out open slots.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
