I'll get right to it; the Alien spawns are incredibly insane we can't keep up what is the point in trying to be the strongest alliance with the most sectors  and members when you can't watch over all the sectors because of these Aliens its bad enough with the alt attacks on Zeta 1 but the Aliens just worsen the problem especially when they are level 7 and above. We can't keep us anymore while also fighting off multiple alliances who are after us. One person [Mikeyboy] on Zeta 1 turned a hive of ours into literal Swiss Cheese which we are still repairing then the alts came in on ZOMB lands in the holes destroying it even more and costing us sectors. We have Aliens adding even more to our plate and we just can't fight them when we are fighting a kid with 200m power because of his credit card. Each time I fill a hole when I'm going to sleep I'll wake up with six more holes patched since I have 6 dropships currently but just more Aliens in the hive it's absolutely infuriating. I've even had sectors I'm contesting or even heading to contesting get filled with an Alien and my ship arriving then coming back because I can't watch it to make sure it doesn't happen. I'm sure everyone on Zeta 1 can agree with me on this seeing as we all have the same exact problem. I see three simple solutions: make it so Aliens don't take land like Dark Activites and Downed Dropships, add something to make it so they don't spawn on Alliance land, or lower the spawn rate and make it only below level 6. It'd be nice to have some breathing room for once in this game.

 

Just please we can't watch over all our sectors while fighting against our enemies

i already made a request to the admins about a month ago to have aliens stop making holes,as it is a huge security risk to alliances,and they destroy what you have claimed

Hi there. Thanks for the feedback about the mechanics of Alien sectors, we always appreciate constructive criticism.

 

It's worth pointing out that Aliens have always been intended to be a method of making alliances continue maintaining their territory. It's not supposed to be "claim and forget", you need to go back occasionally and make sure everything's still as it should be. As far as we can tell, this seems to be working well. You need to go back and patch holes to make sure your enemies don't have a foothold in your territory.

 

I'd also like to point out that in one of our next patches we're intending to let you rally against higher level alien targets. This should give alliances a chance to remove them quickly and patch up their territory.

I understand the aliens being a part of the game. But I agree that once you have certain amount of sectors claimed it is impossible to keep it even remotely clear. Best you can do is keep a buffer area around each base.

as you get bigger it gets harder to maintain(occasionally becomes a daily thing),and when ur not the power alliance and the big guns keep killing aliens in your land and not their own,it becomes impossible,not to mention it makes it waaaaay to easy for them to zero your whole alliance in minutes,so unfair,but i do see your point....

 

also it isn't working as well as it may seem,i'm pretty sure you've heard about the multiple noob accounts being used to break up land.

on this note,how will rewards be given out when rallys fight these higher level targets ?

So many problems with balance in this game. One player at 40M power can continually harrass an alliance with 200M power and there is nothing the alliance can do to stop it. The alt accounts abuse and overpowered aliens just help the tools ruin it for everyone else.

The usual response to use rallies really shows how little the admins/devs understand the game economics or even how the game is being played, despite how it might have been designed. They are not effective against bigger players and I doubt they will be effective against aliens.

Even four or five L22 players making a rally against a strong L22 player just makes for big losses on the attackers.

I understand the Aliens being used to keep the alliance maintaining the land but could the spawns be lowered for them? It is insane how many I see on our land a day.

kind of a catch 22,many aliens are needed for the upgrading of buildings,so yea =/

This x1000 entire alliances killed daily by 3-4 level 22 players with way to much time. Im never going to hit 22 cause i get zeroed daily, send a ship in the middle of the night to kill 1 alien open a hole kill all other aliens and the level 22's port in and destroy everything with ZERO loses. Again Level 22 players do not attack level 22 players so they feed off the low levels everyone keeps quiting.

correct,i would say the population in bravo has halved over the last 5-6 months,purely because of the undefeatable,overpowered  level 22 players

We have one player in Zeta who has an impenetrable defense of fricking specials and even has T4s there is currently at this time one other person on Zeta with T4S. They can't add a system where they can't attack lower level players though because that would make destroying players to expand difficult but they can at least maybe make it so specials can only be used in base defenses I can't fend off a special attack. He also reinforces his members with Titan Tanks so we can't get them and they can just camp our hives and attack us without us being able to hit back. He nearly always teleports in with Alien holes
