Hi, so thats the reason for the missing BCs, sounds like a good change.

How long is "long"? I think anyone offline for 2 weeks wont care...

And will the shifter also protect BCs now?

long is:( (4+(popDif/50))<registerDays)

Meaning 4 days + one day for every 50 population difference.
But now is from register time. I'm thinking to do it from last log in.

Modified the troops prices, making them more balanced. (no ships affected. They must be done too)

Ships too, Indeed. but since you are still working on the troops, how bout finishing up the armor barracks upgrades? i mean mecha needs lv25 of each barracks but siege tank only 10 of each. and how about agents? I think the 6-6-6 (yeah, wow) is a great number but no one would be able to upgrade espionage with those numbers. also, i don't know if this is how it is, but maybe when conduction espionage the success rate depends upon the espionage level of the opponent as well as number of Agents between them. I'd like to have some Agents. just increasing cool factor. oh, and maybe agents speed can go up more? since it's mostly used for spying anyway and, again I am not sure about this, they shouldn't be able to be detectable unless if the Agents were exposed somehow.

for some reason i can't attack abandoned outposts i had previously been attacking... it says 7.3 non-aggression days left, even though i had just raided this outpost a mere 20 minutes before. is this a new change?

nevermind, it appeared to be a glitch. also, an abandoned outpost has flat out disappeared... maybe its another glitch i'm not sure.

Player who did not log in for 2 weeks have the colonies automatically removed from the map.

what happens if they log in after that? just wondering.

The account/colony remains intact. They will chose new places on the map.
