no BRs, but ships are gone :: Bug Reports

I have a battle report where it seems that many of my ships simply went up in smoke before the battle.

There has been some controverses in the forum with accusations of multying etc, namely creating new accounts and using their starter fleets to "assist" and then deleting the accounts.

From my alliance battle history, it seems that there were in fact a couple of previous battles, but that these players accounts are now deleted.

The end result seems to be that I get a battle report from a battle where many of my ships are gone, but no battle reports from the previous two battles (I guess, without knowing, that this is where my ships were killed).

Is this a bug, or are battles against accounts that are now deleted removed from my BR list? Could it be that since I did not log in between the times that the battles took place and the accounts were deleted, the BRs never got into my list?
Is there any way that I can see the BRs?

my first thought was that he had a stupid newbie close to him making these attacks. (however unlikely) I checked all people with 2000ly with no match. now we all know noobies who are so dumb never take there fleets of hq or motherships too far which leaves me to 1 conclusion. he has a multi account and is feeding him self hq invadors

so what do you guys think?

I suppose I should keep the community informed.

The 2 alliances of TOC and PSD have been at war for sometimes, even with the extra members PSD has taken much of the grunt of the war. in an unexpected turn of events another alliance, The Firm has joined in the fight, and after promising TOC to back off, back stabbed us and initiated attacks on our members.

so as of now TOC with 5 members is fighting PSD & The Firm with 13 members. Lets see if they do better with the new found member count then they did when they were only 1 or 2 members more than us.

(Note that I have removed the names and locations of both me and my opponents)

The reason I used the ??? and !!! to represent the names of my adversaries is not only to hide their names, but also because they're two different planets. I had launched a pre-emptive strike at ???'s planet, yet I encountered both ??? and !!! fleets.

For the most part, I was able to crush both of their fleets, but the facts that I was unable to destroy ??? industrial power, he has 3 Motherships, I just barely won that last fight (to my understanding at least), and I am vastly outnumbered, is making me a bit nervous. So, that gives me two options:

1) Retreat back to my Base, cut my loses, regroup, and prepare for a second attack. The only problem I see with this is that I will lose the element of surprise and leave myself open to counterattack at the hands of ??? and !!!.

2) Reinforce my Fleet 1 with the Fleet 2 I am mobilizing before my Fleet 1 launches the "next confrentation" , launch a final assult on ???'s Planet, and, in all likelyhood, win the war. The only problem I see with this is that it will take time for Fleet 2 to be fully prepared.

Perhaps I am seeing this war the wrong way, as I am new and not to sure of the workings of battle in this game.

Any advice would be helpful.

I think that profiles should become more like actuall PROFILES. I think they should have the planet description, ruler description and planet picture all on one page, with the player details and a little tiny flag to represent where they come from.

Then, there should be a link to message them, instead of the normal way round. I just think it would make it easier to figure your way round. It just doesn't make sense that when you click on somebodies name that you are sent to a link to message them, instead of seeing their profile. And the profile could contain lots of other exciting stuff! Maybe even like a.. homepage .

I don't know really, but what do you all think?

New Ship Concept: variable manpower :: Suggestions

there should be at least six ships, (1 shared by all races, and 1 exclusive one for each race), where you can change the amount of manpower that you commit to that ship. A change in manpower would change the effects of the ship, and alter its class if needed.

For example:

ship 'A'

e-ray
for 100 mp:

c2
5 AP/ 5 LP and whenever it is hit it increases its LP by 3, up to a maximum of say, 10 increases. (Unless it is destroyed due to that hit, in which case the effect is null and void)

ship 'B'

e-ray
but if you spend 200 mp on that ship...:

c3
100 AP/ 150 LP and it becomes immune to kill/destroy effects and if it is reconstructed then it gets + 150 LP for the rest of the confrontation.

(those are just the first ships i though up, but there would be more of them, with effects appropriate to their respective races, or would be a balance of multiple races)

just an idea, but i figure that its worth the shot of asking.
plus, it adds an additional layer of surprise and tactics when engaging another player: even if you know what ships they have, you still might not know the effects of those ships.

Again, just an idea that i thought i'd post.

gravity bender (probe)

this probe uses a highly concentrated gravitational beam to "pull" its target coordinates of space-time closer and closer, to the point where it can move slightly, and end up at the coords. at this point, it shuts off the gravity beam and space-time returns to normal... except that the probbe is now at its target coordinates. however, given the enormous amounts of energy this requires, it can only scan 5 sectors, and the time needed to build this probe is also lengthened considerably.

scanradius: 5

the grand-unified-theory (g.u.t.) ship enhances the lp of all class 1 ships in both fleets by 9, but if this ship is damaged or destroyed by any effect it loses control over the four fundamental forces (gravity, strong force, weak force, and electromagnetic force) and all class 1 ships in both fleets are recycled.
