Battle of influence

Firstly well done on improving this over last time but.....
The fairness of this is still out of balance, as things are now a player can sit afk with their pet in their own x2 map and amass huge points, where as a player can go to the uppe maps and do just kristalins all day and struggle to match what another players pet can manage in just an hour of them effectively not doing anything but clicking the screen once every 5 minutes to keep from auto logging. Please take this on board when you plan this event again, perhaps using the npc shot points as a guideline for what the scoring is judged on.

I agree, as someone who is just going to farm points in the x-2 map until I have 20k points it's a bit pointless, I'm hardly doing anything to get these points x).
I think a nice solution would be to make it so that players with ships over a certain level can't get influence points from killing strueners or lordakia.

 

The battle for influence, in its current state may as well be renamed to "The hunt for Lordakia and Streuners", since killing a Kristallon gives 2 influence points, but a Streuner give 2 points as well!

Basically, this is the X-2 map wars.

I'd suggest giving it a system similar to how much uridium you get per alien kill.

For example: Killing a Kristallon gives 126 points, just as much as the uridium given from a Kristallon, while killing a Lordakia gives 2 points, equal to the uri given.

This would make the event far more interesting than it is in its current state.

 

you should get more points the stronger the alien its a pain that all give 2 points

 

SolarBurn oh nice, 1 Kristallon would give 126 Points, but the win in Sector Control or completing the gate would give you much less points..
And just think about this more. For Streuner and Lordakia, (as for any other NPC, but let's focus just on these two types..), you get 2 points. How much time would you spend flying around x-2 with masses of other 'hunters', until you collect 20.000 Influence points? I don't thing that doing this would make you be the best in Influence ranking.

 

thats why i went to enemy x-2 map and i was killing all day afk ships or just collectors and i was collecting kills alone there

 

I think you all might be thinking to highly about darkorbit development team. i mean they didn't do anything about this issue, since last time. This is problem, witch shouldn't have been there from start, and it seems they haven't noticed it so far.
They probably get this fixed 2025.

Now darkorbit development team is probably rolling their thumbs, and humming happily, waiting for money dropping their pockets.
I havent seen much good- or even moderate work done for darkodbit since 2009, not to mention swift work done. Every good update is late or defective, until it has been repaired dozen times. And then comes lags, old bugs, and of course cheats, but thats of topick already.

I don't know where is problem, but i think it's most likely somewhere darkorbits development team staff. They just can't do it right. It seems so at least. This is my assumption, based on other browser games i have played during 2013, and 2014. Those games work, darkorbit wont.

My statement is, that your idea is perfect. ​
