1. Extend the max level of ship reinforcement to level 13. Level 13 Ships have 35% boosts to armor. From level 10, upgrading ships to higher level costs rare resources and dark matters which can be acquired from planet domination wars. Reinforcement failure after level 10 downgrades ships to level 100 n: n7 r% U; E
This sounds like something that will just increase the gap between the powerful and newer players, providing another disincentive for new players to stick around, and not really accomplishing anything for old players. Since the dark matter, etc. is unknown, as is what domination wars will be since nodes can't be captured, it's hard to tell what the effect will be. Additionally, the maintenance costs are unknown, so again it's hard to tell if this is good or not. But my initial reaction is that it is not an improvement as I'm guessing it will not relieve the boredom of old players for long and will discourage new players.

% c9 J+ T7 R* g" K0 ^I somewhat like having there be a cost to make additional improvements, so from that perspective this might not be bad. But I'm not on the test server, and things may be changed before implementation anyway, so it's hard to tell. Not enough detail to have an opinion. An option to get rid of the reinforcement on a ship should be provided. Or maybe an option, if you've done reinforcement on a chasis, to build ships with or without the reinforcement - kinda like an armor module, but just a checkbox to use the reinforced hulls (at whatever level you've gotten it to, or the standard hull.

) Z! O! t3 Q. T3 ]7 LI don't know what domination wars will be now that nodes aren't able to be captured. If it's anything like the old version, it's just for the top few alliances anyway. If that's the case, I oppose adding more things that increase the power of players that essentially only members of the top alliances can get. In my opinion, this is the major reason this game is losing players.

, m; v0 ^# N) z% r" Q4 z0 WThis sounds like another game I played a few years ago - their "nodes" could be used for raiding, but it took them awhile to build up the resources. You could raid them for xp as much as you wanted, but it was something like once every 8 hours for full resources. If someone else had raided them recently you wouldn't get enough to pay for your losses in the raid. Not enough detail to know exactly how this will work, but if there are no resources available for awhile, it's not much better than not having nodes.
