| Summary | 0014743: Federation points need to go away. | ||||
| Description | Thread here: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,15450.0.html Basically, they do not add and will not add anything to the game. Everything they can add can be molded into the relation / credit gains of the game. It's also going to be a major pain to balance, as both mechanics (relations between races & this) will ultimately need to more or less rise at about the same rate, so a federation can be formed. | ||||

I agree that they should just be deleted, either permanently or until the system can be fleshed out to actually add something to the game. |

Bear in mind that you're looking at the earliest form of this, and it's not properly balanced yet. The nature of a beta branch version, at first in particular. The reason why federation points are absolutely needed: 1. Influence and attitude can both be randomly high very early in the game for various reasons, and can even be farmed to some degree. This can make for extremely quick and exploitable games. 2. Influence and attitude need to be able to work like they currently do because they affect all sorts of things like the availability of deals, the wars between races, and other things. Changes here are not advisable. 3. Having a mechanism for reflecting not just how races feel about each other and about you, but how they feel about the idea of a federation in general, makes a goodly amount of sense and is distinct from the other two things, as well as being something that can be balanced without impacting 0000002. TLDR: It is something that is in serious need of balance, and I can see why it annoys you with it building up too slowly right now among other things, but trust me the core idea is very much needed based on my observations of player reports with what is happening in games, etc. |

Changing my mind on this, thinking about it more. On reflection, you are right. ;) |
