Just once I'd like to come to...any...section of the forums and see posts actually about the topic. I honestly don't care enough to scroll back through pages of the same whiners with the same whining as every other single thread this time. I have to wonder if Kixeye does anymore, either.

Yup. Half the posts in any official thread are nothing but complaining about what we haven't got.
If I was kixeye I'd tell 'em they ain't getting a second shipyard 'till they can go two weeks without whining about it. They're acting like 5 year olds, and I'd treat them as such.
Which is why I'll probably never work in a service industry.
cool I could travel to mates sector and not have to relocate whole base - GREAT idea - put a ring around usage for so many seconds so one does'nt get slammed using it and let it be - GREAT feature - give some bonus for those using it too - get peeps all over the place - A whole new meaning to smash and dash - lol

Hmm lets see. I think a drydock will be a more REALISTIC addition to the game. In the real world, you can build ships in one dock and refit them in another. You can't just telaport yourself somewhere. Call it whining, but the fact of the matter is this has been something MANY of us have been asking for for a long time. I certainly think its cowardly to be able to instantly telaport yourself to another sector, hit a base, then leave. EARN it by traveling there.
this poll says we dont want this stargate shxt we want shipyard now quit pissing off ur players and making them quit

I greatly respect that your wanting to addon to the game,but there is more important issues that need to be looked at.Like the dry Dock thats been asked for forever we need to be able to repair/refit and build or build/refit and repair or any combo you want to use,repair times on our ships are outa hand over 12 hours just on a thud FF flt,cant even imagine the time on a stocked dread flt.White screens and S.O.S is a huge issue they kill half of my flts a day and cause rediculous repair times that I shouldnt of had,and the biggest issue cause im a "whiny" lvl 43 is a lvl 60 attacking and creaming my base with bearly any damage every other day.They should only be able to attack over 5 lvls below there lvl a certain amount a day/week like maybe 2 a day instead of going around and taking out every lvl 40-45 with barely any damage and nothing gained from it,what did the lower lvls do to deserve that and if thats the case why stop at lvl 40 everyone should be able to do it.Adding on to the game is great thing but there are other addon/issue that need addressed first,Thank you for reading
Or heres a novel idea.. Kixeye should fix the problems with what the game has before adding to it.. Constant SOS/white screens. Having to cycle from base mode to map mode back to base mode to get my fleets unstuck from "docking".... ya know, the stuff thats should have been fixed back before this relay was even a pipe dream? Then lets add some realism and NOT do some world of warcraft crap relay and give us a dry dock.

The only way that any glitches will ever be completely fixed is to move this game away from http/flash based and make it a true client-server application with a client that is downloadable to the local PC. However, doing that will alienate all of the players that don't have a system powerful enough to run the client. Anytime you have an application that transmits data across the Internet you are going to have latency problems and it doesn't matter how good or bad your computer is or how good or bad the application is, you will experience problems from time to time.
When you get an SOS/White Screen/Blue Screen or other issues where you lose connection with the game server, it means that it the process of your data packets traversing the Internet, enough of your data packets either didn't make it all the way to the server, or enough didn't get back to you that your web browser didn't know how to continue. The Internet doesn't have controllable Quality of Service (QOS) like a local LAN does, so when you click on your ship to move it, the data packets with that request get sent out and might hit a router that doesn't have an updated routing table that shows that the link it is forwarding to is actually a dead end due to a problem.
That's why the majority or SOS/Whitescreens etc. are not Application issues, but transport issues. Sometimes there are truly problems at the server end...and that is when EVERYONE is affected. I'm sure that BP is being run on a Server Farm just like Halo and other internet hosted games, so if a single server in the farm has an issue, then only the people currently connected to that server will have an issue, and reloading your webpage connection to the game will connect you to a different server and continue to work normally. If individual people scattered all over the world say they have problems, most likely their issue is related to their computer or internet connection and not the actual application. However, on rare occasions, their user profile within the game can become corrupted and will need to be repaired.
That's why blaming ALL problems on KixEye just isn't realistic. As an example, I play this on a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop running Win7 Enterprise with 4G RAM connected to an Exede satellite internet connection. My latency is VERY high (800-900ms) pinging a server that I should normally get about 60-80ms if I was on a cable connection and I have very little problems while playing the game.
My major concern right now is without any sort of intercept option to stop an attacker in route is either:
We get a immunity period which means people who work quick can move untouched like moving from base to base
or
The network becomes a camper's paradise since it'll become hit on sight
Unless you can stop an enemy fleet in route in some way, I can't see anything other than these two scenarios happening.
{edit in} I just had an idea. Can you guys make the relay towers defensible like a base expect the whole sector can defend it? I think this would be more fair to an attacker since they can choose a relay point that isn't defended very well if they wanted without the feeling like every time they exit a tower without being sniped/camped and give the invaded sector a way to keep out invaders.
I've seen this system in another online game called "Dark Orbit" they put a zone around the area of the jump gate where no one can attack you until you leave the specified area, otherwise it'll be like a killing zone for unwanted fleets from other sector's, there will be lots of fleets converging on the navigation relays waiting for unrecognised fleets to arrive and instant engage and destroy policy then no one will use the relays for fear of losing fleets.
If you want to risk going through a relay then it a RISK
there are 4 so it will require alot of forces to guard them all 24/7 as far as after you hit running for home. Run to next sector then warp. Or go 10 hrs home. Reward w/o risk is never a good thing. To many of youn want to build strictly base fleets w/o worrying about fighting fleets build several fleets or get someone to cover you. I miss old days where you went in with 4 or more players one would be strike fleet others would be to cover withdraW. lET'S USE TATICS AGAIN AND QUIT CRYING FOR IMMUNITY. iF YOU WANT FREE ATTACKS GO PLAY bACKYARD MONSTERS. bUT YOU LOSE WHOEVER YOU SEND IN.
I think this is a great idea. If it goes ahead am sure the Kixeye team will be looking for feed back on this issue to make improvements as they go alone. Give these guys a chance. New ideas require tweaking. I just hate it when people complain from day one. Got an issue or suggestion feel to post but don't moan.. Its not fair to other players. The team are human and they do make mistakes as we all do.
So, reading through some suggestions, my favorite was having set entrance points, and random exit points. To add to that, there could be a 30 second protection, where the travelers are not allowed to move or get hit. This would reduce camping and allow for flash crash/sos screens to be reloaded before they have to move, but also give the would be "campers" and police a small window, after the 30 second timer is up, to defend their sector.
why would make a player able to get hit when coming out of a base there is no delay? kind sound like s double standard to me> But what do I know Only been playing for 19 months/DUH?
if you make nake fleets comiing out od HYPER SPACE or A or a STARGATE open to attack why not base attacks?
Don't care for this. Will it lead to more base attacks? YES. It will also allow the the coiners and cheats to keep more and more lower level players for growing. Now it cost them at least time to travel a few sectors away.
I have to say , I appreciate a new feature . its always good to see developers looking to add new things.
however, i rather see other things done first before you add a new feature, all good adding new features but it better to sort what you have first.
i would prefer to see the the following first;
diagonal land tile placement like a poll i recently saw
ability to refit and build new hull at same time
alliance points awarded for non alliance bases but certainly FVF battles need to offer points. (should increase quota needed each week to accommodate newer ways to gain points)
battle playback extended to attacks you do on bases and FVF
not saying nav relay wouldn't be a good feature, just prefer it was put on hold for now and above done first.
This is an incredibly stupid and wasteful idea. Just make everything 10 sectors away worth 150% points, 20 sectors double points, 30 sect 250%, 40 sect triple points and allow us to carry 1000% 2000% 3000% cargo. That would stop people from griping about it not being worth going far away and it would not require a stupid new feature that won't work.
I dont have an issue in traveling longer, however what would really help is a better map. Entering coords or zooming out much more to see different sector on one screen, that would make it more interesting.
Let's call it Napster!

No, it won't. It'll just mean people go out less, and there will be less anything going on.

Your poll in no way shows that people don't want the Navigation Relay.
