yep, I agree with thunder

Bottom line - don't be a worthwhile target and most players (including Strong) won't attack you. No sitting fleets, no juicy piles of res, no problem.

terrible idea, I was the one who pushed and got extreme to 100k for noob protection, and it has basically ruined the server in my opinion. Players hide under 100k and build big fleets and less and less players attempt to even break 100k. The only thing that would do it force all the larger players to leave.

i think the noob thing is great in X. but fr speed, its too small at the moment

I think everyone should just suck it up and take it, like the good old days in Xtreme. Be lucky we have player protection at all.

Well said

@Choke: The only time I had left my fleet without save was when I had blackout & don't-remember-who from strong recycled all ... Sh*t happens, but 10k is less than it needs to be ... A newbie who just starts will need 2-3 weeks to get 10k points ... He wont be attacked till 10k and when he became like 11k he'll be recycled from someone with like 500k+ points ... WHATS THE POINT? That way the game suffers player loss... 100k maybe too much, but how about 50k ? That way newbies will have more time to see that the game is worthing and maybe buy some rubies...

Or if you dont like the 10k noob protection, join extreme where its 100k and problem solved!!!

Wimps

I'm playing both ... So? If the boarder is moved, then quit if you don't like it!

Plenty of time to learn about fleet saving, resource saving, and getting some sort of shell and logistics together to protect and move resources. If they spend those first 10K points just building away without learning these [extremely over-emphasized and dogmatic) basics of the game, then it is their own fault. Build your empire and learn to protect it.

And to further push the point, I'll quote a good friend:
