Well, this game is really good. But i'm a bit bored with just jumping into the MV with a dread or doing engi in scenario. sure, I can make around 400 prestige doing either of the above. And it's quite productive. but i really like team play and feel there is alot of the game that i'm missing out on.
So could some UGTO players please contact through privrate messages or this post so we can organize a raid or whatever you call it.
This game has a lot of potential, and if we can get a decent fleet together, we could have alot of fun.
P.S. could any UGTO players who live in the UK please tell me what time of day they are on so I can come on and play with you 
Jacen

Unfortunately the playerbase of DS is very small, and it is indeed true that it is much more fun when you play with other people, but the problem is that those people just aren't there. Usually there are enough on between all servers at any given time to have a good couple of flying partners, but gone are the days that the number of those players is very high. The best thing for you to do is to go attack the MI: they are tough as crap, always there, and provide an acceptable menace to be interesting. A K'luth group a while ago called the Portugese Space Invaders successfully captured most of the MI territory on their own, so it is possible. For this you should probably make a clan with the express intention of going to mess around with the MI.
If you want to do "raids" against players you won't have much luck. More likely that not you will be faced by long times spent invading home servers and either totally dominating the defenders, or getting likewise dominated yourselves.

I just want to address this point for a moment...
And I really, really hope everyone reads this because its pretty damn valid.
Every single time this topic comes up, eventually the team gets around to trimming down the MV to make it smaller.
And every single time it gets made smaller, the next day there are million posts about how they want a big huge MV to play in.
And then a big huge MV is made and then are a bunch of posts about how its too big and you can't find anyone.
I've come to the conclusion that not a single person has a clue as to what they really want.
Personally, yes the MV should be smaller. Smaller MV means people are more focused in one place and combat occurs more frequently.
But every time this happens, suddenly its a bad thing and we don't want to find each other in a big vast MV for whatever reason tends to come out (I want more planets to build on even though they're already built! I want to bomb planets without being harassed!) Or whatever.
If you want a smaller MV be prepared to stick with it, but Im sure certain Devs get tired of changing the map every month or two because of an indecisive playerbase.

Somehow agree with Ent.
The MV is too big? The devs put in controllable AI. Then the QQ begins with some ppl complaining that some dude with an AI fleet took over a planet, or managed to fight off him and his 3 buddies. Then someone else complains that AI are stupid and don't do anything. Or another dude says that he can't do anything when he's alone in the MV and needs AI support. And then the MV is too big. And then the MV is too small. And then this, and then that. And then whatever.
And so, to paraphrase the boys from Boston.

"If you don't like what you see here, get the funk out"

Hey to all
Im one of the Portuguese Space Invaders , and back then we cap and keep almost all MI territory for about 1 week or 2 .....
Fisrt of all , only Kluth can do that because of the cloack
(any other faction would have to destroy everything)
secondlly , In home systems , dont spawn our faction AI ships , so everyday we caped all MI AI ships to help mantain the territory
In procyon , we mostlly worked with trannies and engis only ...
My dream was to fly an MI LongHead or Node =)

i never got to see this "smaller MV" but yeai do get your point. The MV shoudl be according to what the game should be, not the players want it to be
Reasons like wanting to bomb planets without beign harrased kills the whole point of the game, cmon yur not in there to farm points , yur in there to fight with your team and win,
you wanan buuild planet,s ahve the teamates bomb an enemy oen and build, rinse and repeat
So is it for the game? or for the players?
at this point im almost on the verge of aksing, "Whats the goal of the game anyway now?"
