You seem to be missing the point of the War Games.  Part of the fun is finding targets to hit and getting hit unexpectedly.  I wish to see people increase in skill. Not lazily do battles though some like this could be arranged if two parties agree.   

They can consider it whatever they want. Fact is large scale combat is so tedious and not worth it that I am worried about it. Without any major installations any damage done would be miniscule. Didn't we learn this with Raph?  I doubt that coding will be used. Siremi is notoriously slow and bad about providing updates. Not a thing has changed since I quit. 

I welcome everyone's input on The War Games.

We have those as well.

No surprise he hasn't replied back yet. lol

I had to make sure people knew you were except from my attacks old timer.  Kinda got carried away there with the speech.  Also been smoking some of that grass I keep in my hydroponics bay.  lol

This is an official Galactic Empire transmission.

Greetings everyone. This is Emperor Jam-Jul Lison. First let me say I have been gone for too long.  From what I can tell there isn't much that can change. For example you would think my technological experts would have figured out how to at least tell us when systems are gone. You would think after all that time that be possible by now. But anyways I am back. I have a big announcement as well. As some of you already know I have hit some targets within Sol.  I still have a few more planets to do it.  I am still tweaking my raiding ships to lower power levels.  Why you might ask. For the first annual Galactic War Games.  Things seem as dull as ever.  So I have returned to cause some excitement  Soon the War Games will begin.  I will be attacking all lower powered targets though stronger Captains are also not exempt.  I already removed some science stations in Sol belonging to SPQNR. Corporations we already have a NAP with are except from my attacks  So at this time EOS will not be hit as we already have a NAP with them and I have already verified it is still intact  Now on to these War Games.  I want to give these newer Captains a chance to see how it was for us in the early days.  I am talking way before Raph ever appeared. I am sure Sargas and Mata remember. So I got an idea. Why not turn this into an organized event.  Lets design ships for low combat power battles. Battles that don't take forever to prepare for.   This would also put us on more even terms in combat so they might even surprise us a little.  It will help them to become better captains as long as they don't take it personal. Cause in the end isn't life just a game.  Perhaps we can even come up with some rules on ship power limits and stuff. I would even be willing to discuss some untouchable targets. Maybe some could be set up for the war games special games. I am open for discussion on this.  I imagine EOS might have some fun with this.  Especially larger corporations setting up bases for combat games.  Like I said working with a set of rules could make this fun.  That said if people don't want this to happen I am still going to go ahead with the war games. Just less rules.  EOS of course being exempt unless apon request. No one Captain in my empire is required to participate in this unless they want to except to those flying my private ships.

I have another big announcement and this is about recruitment. Effectively immanently The Galactic Empire is offering recruitment to any Captain that wishes to join my empire. It doesn't matter if we had any problems in the past and I don't care if you have problems with other players. All are welcome to join.

End of transmission.

He just joined The Galactic Empire.  By the way stay tooned for a big announcement.

TGE will not go after him unless he comes after us. I may not be a pirate anymore, but I won't go hunting one unless provoked.

I will just limit the clean up to Sol Corp, no corp and people in corps that clearly aren't very active. I can tell for the most part which ones are active. 

I am not really surprised.  lol

My pirate days are behind me. Also if I run into any of your boys I will check with you to see if they are active.  I will do the same for other active corps as well.

I have decided to do some activity checks as I am doing COMs.  I will be messaging owners of mines, stations and science labs if I see them. I will also start the attack timer. Which most of you know are pretty large.  If they haven't replied back before my COM is up I will assume they are inactive players and clear out the space for more active players.  I don't wish to set any players back or hurt them. But stuff left by inactives aren't being used and are wasting space.  I wouldn't have been mad if someone had cleared out all my trash I left laying around when I left the game. lol

I am surprised Novas finally got added in.   lol

The Galactic Empire is now recruiting again. I left the game and I am now back.  While we currently no longer have a lot of members we do have corp ships to help out those who may need help.
