Welcome to a new world... the recent release of ACS attack has just changed the course of the extreme universe forever. The hits will get bigger and the ACS defense will be ten times more important. Fleets will be flying like never before. Turtles will be being smashed all the more often and, furthermore, alliances will be given greater power than before. Soon hordes will be polluting the skies and planets will be cover by swarms of battleships that are larger than ever before. In war, the name of mercanaries will be come more well known and, who knows, maybe it will become a profession.

And to all of you that fear that ACS attack will destroy you. Be not afraid. This game has just made alliances, official or not, more important. You want to make as many allies as you can, especially those who can protect you. There are many ways gain allies. First off, the most simple of such ways is joining an alliance. This is probably the easiest, and maybe the best, way to find people to help protect you. But still, you should also hold connetions with those beyond your alliance, they too might be able to help you in a time of need. Especially if you have helped them in the past.

I hope that ACS attack will prove its worth and will carry out as a good addition to our gameplay.

That does not exist. Regardless of opinions, nobody can protect you. People who think IB are protected by Myr, Gozar and GWD are wrong. Those players are all there because they are all very skilled and belong at the top. Allies cannot protect you if you screw up. And that is why they are all there, they have not screwed up.

Personally I think ACS attack will make the strong stronger and the weak weaker. Either way, its definetly been a while coming and will be well enjoyed. Lets all go out and have some fun

i eat people! now lets see how acs attack works *reads chinese manual*
yea that makes perfect sense ^^

regardless those who are equals can still work to protect each other.ACS attack will make allies more important on both sides.

ive never looked to anyone for protection, i never needed it and never will.

but im looking forward to all the fun

Now let's see some CRs, shall we?

What I am saying is actually more of a basis for turtles... seeing as they will be smashed all the more often.

I have always said that no defense can keep you safe indefinitely. If turtles don't want to get hit, then they should just stay unprofitable.

Why would turtles get hit more now then before?There was only 1 i couldn't touch when i was playing and he is the same place i am now ..perma VM.Now Gozar is near my RiP count so the turtles are in the same boat they was before acs attack.For this reason i will never understand why it took so long to come out.

Time has proven people will not use tools already in place for them to use.Asc defend has been one of the least utilized tool in this game bar none.ASC attack will be no different,and 99.9% of the time fleeters are after 2 things profit,and your deut.Yes there is going to be that attack by some that will do it because they can.

I was sent the e-mail telling me it has been added to game finally..my initial response..how did that help me? it didn't would be the answer...cause we all know the battle engine is perfect and a couple thousand RiPs can't steamroll your empires regardless what defense you put there right?

Speaking of that i still await that person smart enough to know how to stop a MD mission without sending 1 ship and posting it in forums...the result would be 100% destruction of every RiP sent..maybe someday i'll get to congratulate that person for their boldness

So anyhow i don't forsee any new world now..at least not until people actually utilize what they have to stop fleeters and MD's now.

I am sad to say that you are right on that one, but nonetheless it has been used recently several times and is one of the most important features of the game and one that must always be considered. Just the other day I did one to help a mate from a player in ZEFA.

Agreed about the flaws in the engine in my opinion.
