There are several other threads discussing game changes and what the players would like to see.
If you search this forum you will find discussions from years ago with similar suggestions and requests.
The GM's have made a lot of changes, to me it seems it's always make it bigger or cheaper but it's still the same.

The concept of this game is great and could be truly awesome if a two things were different.
(This would be a massive undertaking so I doubt it would ever be implemented.)

First, I believe the universe is too large.
No offense intended to any active players but KB is dead. Just look at the top 10's and the number of GM CEO's there and you'll see what I mean. A CEO that started within the week is poised for an award. There are less than 20 Coal corps in an extreme shortage while on WG there are over 120 with a surplus.
Let any active players emigrate then call in the Death Star

I would agree that the game would be great with something like this.

While I'm not sure exactly what the split would be - "Warlike" "Optional" and "peaceful" makes a lot of sense to me

The size of the "universe" can become too small if we succeed in getting in many new players.
If we do not, there are other issues that will decide what we do.

The 3 types of worlds, maybe, we now have two and they can gradually change without major rewrites.

We listened too good and created a competition world.
3 players joined.
I was one of them.

The 4 non war planets, can have more war.
Maybe not all, but there could be a harder line between people who fight and those who do not.
we will get to it.

what we need is more players who dare fight a war.
this is what we had in the past and it worked fine.

Now, FB was moved a long way and we are now doing a next step that will make it even more inviting to wage war, also PvP wars.

Big players with a huge power obviously do not agree but as I see it,
we need to give smaller players a fighting chance.

I will post a query to all the players I've been in contact with and see if I can get some more opinions about the status quo.

Our discord is filled with a good mix of large veteran players and smaller, newer powers. Most of them are on White Giant and are interested in at least some level of conflict.

I for instance would like better access to war on White Giant - before I kicked around the idea of having secured mode limited to the 'Empire Leader', requiring you to defend if you expand
