The Hackers/Cheaters do cost the game company monetary damage in sales and lost revenue, and therefore I would love to see a trend by game publishers/developers to file civil lawsuits against these hackers/cheaters...……..and ultimately possibly criminal investigations since it is a crime in every civilized country of the world to hack 3rd party servers.

Yeah, I think it's mostly mid-size and large-size company members on this forum and they're praying I'll stay quiet on this idea, but I can assure you I won't be. I'll make it the #1 biggest topic.

Yeah, I think large companies fear it, for sure. What will happen without my idea is Stagnation, dull boring stagnation.

Large companies fear this idea?

What does anyone else think?

It's Genius and you know it!

When a company loses its Capital Flag, a notice will flash up at the top of EVEYRONE's screen saying "so-and-so lost their capital flag in sector A6, 78 flags lost". This way everyone would know they can run there for some land grab and would create a mini-game within a game as everyone tries to fight for some newly-available land. It would effectively annihilate a large company and truly force them to start over. This is exactly what Atlas needs. A Capital Flag System (PvP) is the perfect solution for countering very large companies and freeing up land. Essentially, every company would have to designate 1 flag as their Capital. If this Capital Flag ever falls into the hands of the enemy the company loses ALL their flags and all their territory instantly becomes neutral free for the taking (the Dynamic Atlas Map would certainly be monitored more frequently for potentially-neutral lands as one would look for previous large clan territory which no longer exist). It could also open the door to allowing a well coordinated large company to take over the world in a relatively short time period thus ending the game to start a new game (servers reset). Atlas would officially feel like a game for once by having an end game and a new-start game. Now, imagine 20 smaller companies (or 3 semi-large companies) in an allied attempt with a coordinated attack on a VERY large company. They succeed at destroying the enemy capital making all of its land instantly neutral, then these 20 smaller companies and whoever else might be around have lots of land to share in a land grab. Now THAT's an exciting game. (Is this the solution to the China problem!?) It will also make Large Company outer-region lands easier to capture since it will be a bit paranoid of losing its capital it will be hesitant and less reactive in defending its distant lesser-important non-capital lands. It'll also open the door to a wide array of strategies and tactics both offensively and defensively, and promotes alliances of smaller companies even more so.

Perhaps someone in the dev office knows and realizes there is truth in what I'm saying...

.

So therefore I'm waiting for the mass reset for the servers.... ping me when that happens and I'll change the review.

The game is kind of like a beautiful brand new 2018 Ferrari, and you jump in for a test spin only to discover that it has no gas.

Oh, here's a link to the review. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198287032457/recommended/834910

Percieval - I've seen you before. You live on this forum and are a hired public relations hand bought and paid for by Grapshot Games - it's 100% true.

This review is on Steam. Is it true? "Whoever gives this game a 'thumbs up' is lying to you. - probably written by staff members and their family of the game developer and publisher. The game is 100% completely unplayable because there is no land to build on. ALL of the land is completely taken by other players. It literally WILL NOT allow you to build anything, nothing. WARNING - you will be wasting your money if you buy this game - there is NO land to build on, and I explored almost every island in the game - look at my hours played - all of that was exploring the seas on a raft only to discover that there's zero land to build on - super boring. Also, if you're lucky enough to find a small patch of land or able to steal a piece of land from someone then trust me when I tell you that someone 60 levels higher than you will take your land away from you within minutes or a few hours - a complete waste of time - find a better game to play."

Wall of text, no way am I reading all of that. If you get attacked by a ghost ship then you're not paying attention to where you're going. That's a load of crap. This so-called "game" will be in early access for the next 4 years, and that's no excuse. ….

I'm about to leave so do as you will, but just an fyi - I don't really care what you want.

Any man, woman, or even child who supports the banning of "hate speech" is indeed treasonous to the concept of free speech. Especially if so-called "hate speech" is "truth speech".

If I were the ruling power, I too, would ban your "hate speech" and only allow "love speech".

In fact, "love speech" has never needed anyone to fight for it, nor die for it, as it has never been necessary. "love speech"has never needed special legislation or a special government to protect it, as such has never been necessary.

Why would anyone care to fight a war of freedom to protect "love speech", I don't think anyone ever has.

Don't worry, you're already witnessing it and don't even know it. Atlas moderators have already begun their abuse upon non-Chinese players and because of it hundreds of players have already quit and soon it may be thousands.

I witnessed a game called Robocraft abuse its players with so much strict chat control by abusive moderators that it is now almost out of business.

The beautiful thing about that is we can choose to boycott the "private company" from any future purchases. It's called "voting with your dollars".

Besides, it's all temporary anyway. As soon as society collapses, and it will, everything will fall back to its natural state. No pen and ink will save it at that point. Political correctness is a very temporary thing - I give it another 50 years at most in the time tables of history.

I could care less what some treasonous politician wants to pen in ink. Could care less.
