You are not a large alliance.  You are a few people holding way too many bases.

That is what you dont understand. The game wasnt meant to be 1 person per island.

Now, it is gettng fixed and it is going to suck for everyone but it is the way it should be.

and yes, a side effect of this is I get to laugh at your decisions to spread yourselves out so thin

What you talking about? Sparks are just fine the way they are. I need them to easy-mode active SAPs

Sparks have nothing to do with controlling Beta. It's just the numbers. Whoever has the most ewar wins.

Nerf ERP and gives us more sparks. It's the only sensible thing to do. It will help me gather more assets to distribute to steam noobs.

Rex you said not posting isnt it?

If not needed I would stay for sparks, but a bit nerf wouldnt be too bad.

But not to 2 point for gammas

4 guys should not control 6 Gammas. All you needed was 6 guys to change that. Not a mechanic change.
They didnt control it because of SpT, they controlled it because they only had 2 guys opposing them.

You guys have the numbers, now you are starting to control things. You are proving what we have said this entire thread.

So since we no longer control things, and the SpT hasn't even been implemented, what was the whole point of this thread?

It's starting to look just like the minority who were upset, trying to change things via a forums because they couldn't in game.  And they wanted to mess up the power that was. Easy mode, for you guys.

Ville wins forum PvP. Game loses, and you guys rub it in the face of the Devs, here, that you are just trolling. Not the brightest strategy imo, but I'm not a Dev.

Also, congrats Rex. You are officially a forum troll.

Yes my last couple posts in this thread were light troll. But my opinion is same for SpT. STC and numbers were never the argument.

SpT needs power projection nerf BEFORE steam. Current proposal not enough.

Would be nice to see other transportation network upgrades.

And Cassius, you still don't get SpT problem. Nor do you see passed corp dialogue on issue.

The problem is really this: What is there to do on Beta so the small corp should even be bothered to try and hold an outpost?

Alpha islands, hands down the best(by multifunctionality) islands in the game. Gamma is only for those who wish to be production power-houses.

Thats a diffrent problem.

How is a small/bigger corp supose to even trye to take a beta if they get swarmed by the holders of all betas that sparks in?

The SAP loot and control/easy access of Epitron is enught for any one to own 1! beta.  Problem is most corps/players have it alredy mined when gamma had epitron. a nother is Sparks

Id like to see maybe 6 beta 3s whit no outposts/terminals on them when steam hits

Seriously Ville? No *** its obvious and sarcastic. But hey, clearly you think your trolling is sublime and got a result. I wont shatter your own little Nirvana.

The impending change is not "better than nothing". Its not "better for the game". It does nothing to fix the problem, and it limits transportation in a game that has transportation issues to begin with.

If I thought it was an improvement, I wouldn't complain. Your sides biggest and most legitimate "non troll" reason for this campaign was instant power projection anywhere is OP. There is some truth to this.

What change would have greater influence to this problem? A 10 minute cooldown, or reduction in number of SpT? I think the cooldown.  SpT, no matter what, could have used a cooldown. It still needs one. The current proposed change will have such little probable affect on current dynamics its simply a waste of time. At the same time it will negatively affect other areas of the game far greater.

And I bolded the last word in your post, for a reason. Resistance. You could not have done what you have done if we had the NUMBERS to prevent you. SpT had nothing to do with it other than making the logistics quicker. But the end results, who owns what Outposts, who controls what, is primarily dependant on NUMBERS. And please, what fantasy MMO exists where a noob corp can simply go and live in any PvP region, among Established corps and alliances, soley on their own? It doesn't happen in any game, its not going to happen here. It never has it never will. And it shouldn't.

Don't waste your breath. The man is a brick.

Only true solution is removal from game. Gone. Zero sparks. Reintroduce them when there are 100 islands.

You are correct, in a world where there are 10 sparks to 10 locations, who owns Nia is dependant on NUMBERS.  This is what we have been saying all along, I'm glad you have come to our reasoning.

But as you will find out once the spark patch goes in, NUMBERS will have less of an impact.  Which is the point of the patch.
