Wowowowowowo, lets not put this one in.

how about the trade slaves/extractors/bases, etc. get deactivated a few days after the sub expires?

That way, one can have some leeway if one isn't able to sub back immediately.

Aw nice, appreciate this...

Also like seeing UrQa Vazuk Qii shoot him self in the foot every time something that devalues the game that happens or is suggested.

Don't know why we don't go back to a windows 98 server where its ran from Jeff house, I'm sure the game will run smooth on it!

Also like to know wtf is making JeffL think this way, where all players should be caged and charged the same amount for less things.

umm could you give that like a 3 day cooldown Jeff, so if the account has not been subbed for 3 days? I mean I would hate to see my galaxy fucked up due to my ration supply system getting screwed over because i had one of my accounts unsubbed for a day.

Honestly, I don't see this as a big deal at all. How many people actually do this? Sounds like it could just have negative effects rather then fixing a percieved problem.

Just give it a week cooldown if you insist on putting it through.

A few days should be fine, pay attention if you want the benefits. The less afk the game is, the better.

Planning ahead means I have no life, Radia?

Hmm...because your mother/father/grandmom/dad has medical issues and you have to leave RIGHT AWAY, your team gets crippled?

And dont tell me it wont happen, on my team it HAS happened. If the person had gone unsubbed, and this had happened, our whole team would have been screwed over.

A week at least.

Yeah, and I haven't made a colony in over a year now

It shouldn't matter, you don't have to physically log in, you just have to pay the bill! The people most affected by this aren't they casual gamer that is going to rage quit, they'll have their slave systems and colonies set up and know what they are doing. It's pretty simple, if you expect to benefit in game, pay the sub - you can subscribe, pay up to a year in advance, arrange a teamie to cover it, etc. So set something up - there is no excuse.

You can't expect to take something for nothing, just pay the damn bills on time and you can keep your colonies running, afk or not.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about, and are not even bothering to try to understand our perspective.

I'm out.

Well re-reading what you said above shawn, I think a week is agreeable. I might be trigger happy on the flame button when shawn is around
