I think it whould be better if the turns were more faster, like 1min/turn so the game will speed up a little... to make a long story short... stau prea mult frate sa construiesc cateva cladiri

1 minute turns would be rediculous, you wouldn't be able to do anything. i think the turn ratios are pretty good, imagine going to sleep and asuming you get 8 hours, 480 turns pass, in this time your entire empire could be wiped out before you wake up. I wouldn't be against if a faster galaxy was in place like it TG, i doubt i would join it that much just because it would consume too much time, but if enough players agree to it admins may be all for it.

if the turns were faster you whould be able to make a stronger defence in a shorter time and be able to defend your plantes when not online, even if you are online and someone stronger than you and has aggresive intentions even if you are online you'll get whiped out

if you could build defences faster, they would be able to build offense faster which makes it equivalent. The stronger players generally sign on quite frequently anyways so would this really help things? I would think it would make things worse, all i can suggest to you is to place defensive things in queue and wait for them to finish. Imagine getting wiped out from the peak of your game in 8 hours while you were sleeping. Max i say would be 10 minute turns, but i prefer the 20-30 minute turns they currently run the galaxies at. This isn't a game that you install on your computer and quickly beat, it's a game that's supposed to entertain you for a longer period of time and doesn't give too much of an advantage to the ones that are on 24/7.

just my thoughts

build transports and move them but automatic may give humans an unfair advantage.

i agree, lets not turn dq unto a game which makes the people who dont bother to spend time on stuff be able to get away from a planet that by all rights should have been wiped from the game by the forse that was sent to it

i like ur suggestions m8 u should consider getting som coders n making a game like this, but it just doesnt really fit for dq

I agree with you on the fact that while your sleeping, you could be killed. Also you'd have to think about Block holes. There Isn't any sort of defeces ageinst them, and someone In a different time zone could easly litter the place with them.

But, what may appeal to the rest of you Is different realms for British, U.S, Russian etc. This would solve the problem of having to worry about someone half way across the work annihilating you, I know DQ empires may be a tad short of as many players from different parts of the world, but If we don't now, feel free to use this suggestion In the future maybe.

My other idea Is that 1minute proably Is a little fast... Maybe a new Galaxy could be every 5 minutes, or maybe change one of the existing Galaxys to 5 minutes (Eg; Training Grounds)

The problem is the demands fast turns would put on the server, turn calculations can be quite long, expecialy when lots of players and fleets are active...player numbers are quite low now, but if you look after a turn ticks how long it takes new BH and WH to display on the galaxy map...sevaral mins some times...and you can notice the slow responce times when this happens...

Also remember that its not just one galaxy that is competing for processing time, having other galaxys that change turns at the same time would cause longer delays...and may get too much...
