I know I am going to get smacked over the head for this, so I am putting on my helmet right now...

I feel so empty fighting for a war that I know will never end. I understand the whole 'play 2 play' thing, and EXP is supposed to be some kind of incentive (right), but it leaves a lot to be desired. I think most of us hear are a bunch of competitive freaks, who want to win (sometimes). Anyway, here are some thoughts...

What if the game were to end after all continents are ruled by an empire?

Games could last a week, 2 weeks, a month? Thats a big goal, I think people would really get into fighting in a war like that.

Either keep the current exp system, or bring it back to beta exp, and have it reset after each game?

I dunno, just some thoughts. The obvious problems are exp, and when one empire is really kicking the shit out of the others, is it still gonna be fun? Alliance maybe? Ok you can start beating me to a pulp now.

If you reset gamestate at any time it is no longer a persistant game..

Sanctuary strikes will become something to work for, we should be seeing those soon. While we are chasing that down there will be new things in the works im sure :p

I have found that there is an end of game every time I log off. It suprised me the first time, but now I figure it out right away. ;)

Simplest thing to do is simply create different server modes, like in many other games with CTF servers, DM servers, TDM servers, etc.

Not saying PS should have a CTF mode, but just make servers for those who want the win situation available.

ya know if one empire starts owning and locks down all continents, they could just reset the servers

if one side was dominating like that, theres a check or a balance missing somewhere. the sides are supposed to be fairly even on the playing field, and with two-on-one odds, even if enemies arent allied, a full planetary lockdown would be nearly impossible.
