i was just wondering, would'nt it be prudent to just go in and fix the map cycle in beta and make the times longer on all large maps and remove small maps, as well as throw some 3 faction maps in the mix to liven things up. also max out resources so we can test things thuroughly. heck maybe even through up a beta MV if possible. the reason i ask this is cause yea tael and shig come in and up the map but thats only once in a while when they are able to see it, and usually im there they up the map and i play for awhile , goto sleep, wake up, goto work, come home and log on and low and behold the maps new cause someone had to go cap it all in the middle of the night. or perhaps this " i believe i heard Backy suggest this" , give everyone a cluster where they can build the shipyard then just put a safezone around that area so its uncappable.
Well thats my 2¢'s worth.....

You can just make the planets unbombable, stick 15 shield gens on it, wont get through it atall.
But yeh, a 4000 GU safe zone works, seeing as how bio's work at 3800gu.
Then have two planets
One for SY.
The other for moding and repair.

um, why was this bumped? if you went into beta you would see the map has a 96 hour times limit and unless you can get close enough to land troops on the stars, you cant end the map.

The maps are unendable for the times we set, the reasons short maps appear indicates atleast 4 days have passed OR there was an update. It helps you notice changes...

Why the hell are you setting stars as flags? Tt DOESNT work....... The star caps to the faction controlling most planets and has done so since 1.481. I really can't believe you are making such a simple mistake. *shakes head*

Here is a idea to add, if its possible..
Edit 2 planets for each faction. 1 is SY planet, one it mod/depo planet. mod/depo either has 6/6 of factory/depo (or whatever), or make the mod planet have like 100 of each gadget in it that can be made, perhaps including cross faction gadgets. This will avoid the 60 minute wait time to mod anything, if we want to. And let us test things faster.
Unless those things are not in the test stage yet..
