actually in the beginning we had the idea of making it more difficult to talk to other races than your own.
when you start playing it should be impossible to read a message that is sent from someone other than your race.
there should be special basic researches that let you learn the other races languages. and after some research you can read half of the sent words.
this way the races would stick more to their own.
another idea was, that it could be impossible to fight someone of your own race. on the other hand this would erase some possible battle-constellations that could still be interesting |

I think these are great ideas. It would allow the gameplay to have continuity with the story. I like the idea of having race rivalries, and alliances with mainly the same race. Races should stick together.
As far as the different languages are concerned, would not this be defeated by the same method you proposed when declaring my Communication Interception Device impossible? Friends will just use instant messaging or E-Mail. I dont see it as a problem, but I understand that you do. |

The main problem with this would be that some races appear weaker, and have fewer players, this would tend to make those races even less desirable as you will quickly find your self out numbered by the other races and more frequently attacked.

bad idea admin, a good structure of the alliance if player with different races, because u can have more experience, and u can do a little change in the battles but inside the comunication i think is stupid, because now the game is more of alliances, dosnt player... The comunication is too important, maybe can be good. if u agroupe a sector of player with the same race. or player of diferent races... totally |

Dont like that idea...It is good like it is.
I have a lot of friends on this game and some of them like different races than me so this would mean that we cant message each other.

@admins: Have you implemented a language-scrambler in the forum?
Half of the replies in this thread donĀ“t make any sense to me.
I share Achilles opinion because I was a little disappointed when I started st and realized that the story has nothing to do with the actual game. Now that I understand the basic principles of st I support your decision not to restrict the alliance possibilities, or else the allocation of the players has to be changed (a random allocation of the planets would be strange like rubens stated before).
I think its good as it is and consistent to the principles of st. |

I think that a round where it is race specific factions against others (maybe with inter-racial & iner-factional truces when it is helpful to both sides) would be cool just to see how it would go. I mean when you think about it, the Kazuuula supposedly tried to invade Earth, that should make any friendly Human-Kazuuula relationships impossible. In my opinion two races who supposedly have a bad history should not be able to be in the same alliance. Though every race should have two other races that it is on good terms with that it should be able to work with. Or maybe certqain combinations of races are not possible unless you have a race that can form a middle ground between different species. If this were to happen it should be one member for each set of hostile races (ex. say there is 1 human member in an alliance and 3 Kazuuula members, there should be 3 mycilloid and/or E-ray members to hold the relationship together) if one of the relationship holding members then one of the kazuuula races should be automatically removed from the alliance or the Human member should be removed. Whichever has the lowest number of points. This way alliances would be harder to get up to the 12's and 14's I saw in the last round. |
