Exploration
Dec 9th 2008, 07:30:41 AM

Exploration has been rebalanced. While it is still much more likely for lower strength players to discover things it is less likely that they will find planets than it has been. Also the bugs preventing the alien ships should now be corrected and any alien ships that you discover should show up immediately at your capital planet.

Admin e-mail
Nov 25th 2008, 07:49:31 AM

You will notice that at the bottom of the page there is now a contact us link. You can now send e-mail to the Admin team directly admin@novapowers.com. This should make it easier for those who want to dispute deleted accounts to do so.

This is your last warning. I will begin deleting accounts that are obviously 1 person using two accounts somtime in the next 24 hours. You have until I begin the deletions to tell me about your accounts and pick which one I get rid of, otherwise I get to pick.

New Sheriff in town
Nov 13th 2008, 02:16:11 PM

Since WW is spending most of his time on Seapowers these days I will be taking over alot of the new development and bug fixing in Nova Powers. For those who have joined in the last couple of months and were not seapowers users, I am a programmer with a full time job and a family but I help out as much as I can.

I will be working my way down the list of bugs and the wishlist of changes and additions to the game. Just be patient and with luck I will get most of it done.

I will also be dealing with all of you with more than one account. You all know who you are. You have until Monday to pm me with the names of the extra accounts that you want deleted. After that I am going to start deleting duplicate accounts and I may not leave you the accounts that you want me too.

Alliance banking is in. Both Leaders and Staffers are capable of distributing funds, so choose carefully who you give such powers to.

Updates
Nov 7th 2008, 09:10:02 PM

A few days ago I removed the minimum gains part of the explorations system. Tonight I greatly reduced the rate at which your strength lowers your discovery odds though, so depending on your rating another go may be worth the attempt. the new point of diminishing returns is something like 30 or 40 billion people. But your ships still gain experience from these runs, so it's not a total waste at high levels.

Also, SP style ribbons went in just now. There's a bunch of them, though I'll leave discovering the specifics up to you guys. If you haven't gotten it in a few days, I'll start dropping hints.

Reset?
Nov 5th 2008, 03:47:47 PM

So I've had a few people come forward to me and ask me for a server reset, over the past little while. While it was my overall intent to build such a game as to make this unnecessary, there's been enough that I put it to poll in the forums as to if I should do this or not.

So vote. The yanks in the game ought to have a pretty good idea of how it's done, after all.
