Emperor Runs
Since some people have been asking, here is what we have planned for emperor runs.
Starting next universe, there will be a new galaxy where the palace is located. You will not be able to build any additional bases in this galaxy, though you will be able to deploy permanent drones to help defend. The Palace has also been upgraded to a T20 kit, so you can put some decent defenses on it. Once the universe has reached a sufficient level to support an emperor, King Midas will spawn. To claim the palace as your own, you must first defeat King Midas and you must be ranked in the top 3 teams.
After claiming the palace, you will have to build a crown ship and wait a few days for the coronation ceremony, during which time other teams can try to stop you by destroying the palace.* To be crowned emperor of the universe, the director of your team will have to make the trip to Sol in the crown ship and dock at Earth Central.
As the reigning emperor of the universe, you will gain several benefits. The director and councilors of the reigning team will get beneficial auras that slightly improve stats of nearby team mates. Your team will also get a small tithe on all scooped credits that will be deposited directly into team funds. Additionally, the Palace will have a built in (sticky) Imperial Mint that can be used to create unclean imperial seals if you supply the materials to it. Of course, at any time other teams can challenge your reign by assaulting the palace.
* Note - The palace is never actually destroyed, but by reducing its shields to zero you can halt any emperor run in progress, and can then claim it as your own by docking there (if you are in one of the top teams).
There have also been some revisions to team score calculations that should (hopefully) make them more accurately reflect the strength of a team.

Will the Emperor run still initiate the end of the current universe?
If so, I hope the universe will have sufficient longevity so there will be time for colonies to give an adequate return. With the high cost of building good gear, and the long build times of recent stuff (such as the S-sphere) we need longer unis

Other players can still attack the palace to stop the emperor run or dethrone the current emperor, they just can't claim it and start a run of their own.

If the top 3 teams are colluding to control the throne and keeping teams 4 and 5 from claiming it, we can always extend the emperor availability to the top 5 teams, or more.

With the bonuses of being Emperor octopus, I think all 3 of the top teams will want it, therefor, not allying, it would be a hard alliance to keep too...
Sounds great Hal!!!!
Yeah, make Battle Thatches NO MORE!!! Make 0 weapon slots on em like octopus said. And i think any team should be able to be Emperor, I am thinking if they can defend it, why should they not be aloud to claim emperor?
