Shorter Universe Length
The last universe was way too long. This is mostly my fault because I had so much that I wanted to do before the new universe that I kept pushing it back. But the age of the universe contributed greatly to the lag and rollbacks at the end, so I plan to make this universe much shorter. Expect this one to last something like 2.5 months.

2.5 months or 3 months, the difference is 2 weeks. That wont really matter much.

Perhaps not to you, but for each player thats several billions lost.

Too easy to earn those billions anyway, only good for the economy if they earn a little less.
Considering the lag and rollbacks I would think everyone would be ok with a shorter uni.

Try using colonies and you will make a lot more then that. You'll make more then 1-3 bil per uni just killing tech 20 AIs

Its aimed at those with colonies. You can make 1b+ a day quite easily. So just shortening the uni length by 2 weeks is cutting off around 15b per player. I bet theres like 50 players who earn that quite easily. 750b removed from the economy

In that case, 2 weeks shorter wont have a big impact on you.

Pretty sure there is some guide somewhere on how to make money with colonies.
It's not that hard to kill the weaker tech 20 AIs, with a decent setup Im sure you could do it.
