" Points should not be awarded for any resources stored on planets. 16 21.62%

The current system is good; don't change it. 23 31.08%"


That is no where near a strong enough majority in either direction for there to be a decision on this issue, the best solution here would probably be to reopen the vote, but only with these two options.

lAs for interest... meh there are many different types of players on this game, the attacking clans such as TS and LTC may find it incredibly boring because HWs are being built bigger and bigger by interest on resources. However for the gathering clans that do not want to attack a HW and want to feel safe in the galaxy, it is possibly a good option.

This is not me forgetting that SL is a war game, because plain and simple it is. But it's also a strategy game and there is more than one way to fight a war. You don't take the stronghold, you don't win the war. Therefore HW building is a viable strategy of war.

And in a war game - hw captures should also be important and possible...

HW captures are possible, but when you have 10 HWs, loosing of one is not so important

Lol and attacker does not wish to lose the res that could be gaining intrest

so in effect hw caps are impossible since noone wants to do one

I felling after all Prof's changes SL will be need full restart .. cause damage will be to much and impossible repair.

IM beggining to agree
Although a reset will keep us busy for a about 5 rounds then the intrest problem will hit in again so that needs to be sorted.

However a full reset of everything should soon be an option

Indded. I just don't want a reset as long as people secretely buy their points and until we have this interest, disqualifying newbies from the competition.

Ah yes thats my other anoyance, intrest is bias towards those who have been playing longest. The importance of skill and hard work is less important than jsut keeping around 50 planets for 4 months...

The points for for resources vote over all of the 3 options for points to stay or increase was a greater majority than no points so majority has that one.
Interest for defensive certainly has the majority, though I disagree with it.
Interest for non-def has a greater majority for higher percentage though, so would be nice to see it increased a little even if to 1.5%.
LVL 4 buildings has good majority, that is my one problem, do people not completely realize what a lvl 4 building/planet would entail. Keeping same characteristics as other buildings a lvl 4 would add 4 or 6 points and make a planet with full buildings have 60 or 72x points while capable of maintaining full shields.
Adding on the troop building would bump it up to 70-84x.

edit by prof: level 4 building adds 4 points, just as level 3 building adds 3 points. So, not 6 points more.

The survey was not anonomous in terms of who voted, and I can assure you that more than 80% of the people who voted have been with the game for a while. They were not newbies who had nothing to lose.

As for points for resources on planets, I agree that the results were mixed there, as I stated.

My bias is towards not changing things if the results are mixed. However, given the uproar over this issue for some players, and the mixed results, I am inclined to make this change effective with April round. No more points for resources on planets. Just points for killing ships or capturing planets. So, no more information available about how many resources someone has.

As for the interest issue, we will have another vote in early April on this issue once again. I would like to ask Filas and Hope and others who feel strongly about this issue to write the survey question to be given to the SL community this time. I do not want to overrule majority vote, but I am open to the suggestion that the options I have provided might not have been the best way to address the issues we need to have voted on here.

So, no changes on interest during April, but possibility in May round of changes if you can ask questions in a way that most people will vote in favor of some option other than staying with the status quo position of no change.
