    maybe they mean, trade post is the place where credits are produced. If automatically establishing routes, i think this will help newbies, just like me

Colony occupying will be almost impossible now ... but that only means you'll have to chain-raid a colony to get the ressources instead of linking it. If you had the node chainge you'll get a perfect gameplay for bots ...

For the credit crunch of the end of captured node I'll just say that's not a big deal. Link all your colony together that will perfectly do the job. That's what happened to me with the last update and I make enough gold that way.

I assume the ressource production of node will be aligned to the present trade rate. Not a bad thing imao.

The great side effect is that noobs will be able to attack on lesser lvl nodes and that you will have far more chance to see corsairs on nodes. That's a great point.+ I! h( ]0 d( _  B+ a5 E

As far as the trade post is concerned I can farsee that it will end up exactly the same way nodes and SF are distributied now ...

You mean that already built fleet won't have maintenance fee?

This doesn't answer any of the reinforce or upkeep issues but for those of you interested in this upcoming changes they have it on the test server.  To keep from having to post again I will link to my evaluation of it and explanation of the changes:: t& q# k% [! P7 o" D- B2 r

Again, new changes that benefit only the strongest players and alliances and make it harder for new players to develop. This is a great way to keep new people from joining. How do you expect new players to come to your server if you make all the new stuff not available to them? You have to provide incentives to new players to join, or the game will have a slow death.2 E+ ~5 g! `+ t/ L& l) m

My suggestions:$ m4 A0 B4 b7 E" U2 l. ]
- Put a goddamn level protection for new players.6 x8 V$ T' a& i; u% K; G
- Rewrite from scratch the "adv. resources" thing. They are being hoarded and a new player has no way to ever accessing them without paying.  And no, don't even dream of new players paying if they can't enjoy the game for a while first.
2 N( }+ `4 E# h* A- Don't add more stuff that new players can't enjoy. I know you're thinking of the veterans, but if you don't bring new people, this won't work out.
5 j/ E( R3 b3 y- Stop changing your mind on everything. That's not a gameplay, it's like a bipolar girlfriend. We need some continuity: it's frustrating to design your planets or ships one way, and then BAM, rules change completely.+ y: ^( n. U9 J) v9 _$ q" x( r
