ENY review...............

[Dadsguns]

This was posted in another topic and would like it to be considered officially in the wishlist for review.  







This is a good example of how hording is exasperated since eny IMO is not stringent enough.  These "extra" 40 players had no affect from eny and were able to up with 51D's with ords and freely move about the map.

There is no give and take, it appears to promote unbalanced sides, if a side chooses to stick together and fight primarily one side "horde a side", thats all well and good, but it should also mean that it would leave their other side open for attack and thus would spread the fight out on both fronts since they would have to defend that now exposed side.  That does not happen since there is plenty to thwart any counter attack made by either side they are up against.

HiTech, this 40 player difference is a huge advantage in an of itself let alone the little impact eny really has, I request that eny be reviewed or adjusted and reconsidered to be more stringent in cases like this or eliminated altogether and having chess piece arena caps in place.

I hate the ENY and it's not very realistic. Quite often the country that is loosing is the one that has the most people and a high ENY.
But I just don't see anything that could substitute the ENY, just removing it would be bad as well.

So if numbers were even and you had the same screen shot would it make a difference?

That looks like a typical =V-tard= mission. They're just going to drop all the hangers so there's no one to fight anyhow but even if they didn't, would you take off from that base?

Bring back the 20 mile dar ring maybe? You could at least see the hoard inbound and take off. Although everyone will still ignore the "alert A#" until the nme is five miles away.

It really has little to do with ENY.

The only change I could think of is base ENY modifiers on the smallest numbers rather than the largest?

The thing is, my idea is NOT to change anyones way of how they play, just how many your forced to fly against.  No side should have that amount of an advantage.  Even having 40+ mediocre players is an advantage not to mention even more seasoned players in that same advantage. 

If the numbers were even and I took a screen shot like that, the outcome would have been the same right after I took it, dive down and took some pelts, yet that is what we are bound to, defending and very little offense. 

There are times when there is such a massive amount of players on a side that an inbound mission with already the advantage of being noe and having the suprise can steam roll bases with very little effort and certainly very little resistance the already strained defense of the side they are attacking can muster. 

The only difference by having more even numbers in the arena is to afford the other side the ability to attack instead of defend against overwhelming numbers all the time as it is now.

What are you doing so high in a N1k

What are you doing so high in a N1k

I launched out of a 5K base next door, there was a 3 sector full nme dar bar, the airfield south of this vbase was flat as well as this vbase, and when I arrived it was me and the poor guy down low until at least a couple of minutes before any help got there......   the run before this several cons were well above this alt looking for the pick, not this time.

I think a review of the current ENY system, and possible adjustment, is a perfectly reasonable idea.  I personally feel that getting pushed into the non-uber rides is a good thing.

Is your frame rate always that low Dads?

[Dadsguns]

Not usually, she is an older machine and sometimes when I run into a alot of cons it takes a moment for her to think about it......

The solution would be to double the number, range and lethality of base ack.  They can still steamroll the town and take the base, but at least they can't steamroll and vulch the field too.

[Hector]

If they did that then it would make it impossible for a smaller force to even think about attacking a field.

What are you doing so low in a P-51D?

MAX eny is 29.0   But good fake nonetheless.
