Talk:A New Dawn (Galaxy Game)/@comment-25898954-20151203003839

Regarding tonight's Tython bombing fiasco, I have a few issues I'd like to point out.

The first concerns the "message" sent to my faction demanding an explanation. First off, how does the 'Pub know I did it and not the more logical alternative, Byss? How do they know I even exist? This is the Star Wars equivalent of the Dark Ages; that kind of information isn't instantaneously spread, and I've never made contact with the Republic. Heck, I've been sending a fleet around talking to other factions for several turns and I still haven't discovered them all yet.

Second issue: the Republic fielding 12,000 capital ships in a year. Currently, I am the largest faction, twice the size of the Republic, and with more trade partners and allies. My entire Navy consists of fewer than 100 ships. As I said, this is the dark ages. There is no way that the Republic could pull such a fleet from nowhere at turn 14. Turn 14,000 maybe, but not at present.

It seems to me that we are not all playing at the same level of realism here. My suspension of disbelief was not just broken tonight, it was shattered into pieces; 12,000 pieces, specifically. If we want to keep this from getting messy once we all start getting into wars, we need to find a fair way to balance our playing styles equally now.
