Only recover Tenacity score if the player has an active game
The current Tenacity system recovers the Tenacity at a rate of approximately 0.5% per day. This happens whether or not the player is active. I suggest that, for players with a positive Tenacity, this only occur if the player has an active game with other players (public or private).
Training games and Private games against the AI should not count for this.
3 votesOne of the main ideas of tenacity recovery over time is that a player who needs to quit and be away from the game for a while for whatever reason can come back at a later date and not be too harshly punished for it. Tenacity is mainly intended to stop serial droppers.

Introduce rotating game types for Senior Officer games
Senior Officer game offer a different experience from regular games as players are stronger, don't resign often and use diplomacy (something new players often avoid).
At the moment, the only Senior officer game that is available is Max Ally 0. As fills up, new one starts.
Max ally 0 games feel like a championship game. I am enjoying it a lot however mentally you can only handle a one or maybe two such games at a time as they are very stressful.
I suggest the we introduce a rotating win/game type condition for Senior Officer games as experienced players really…
25 votesDeclining this, as I feel it has been addressed by the game “Interest” feature. There you can easily create any of these types of games and make them publicly available.

Improve homeworld allocation on mentor games, so mentors fight mentors.
It seems the home order is sequencial mentor1-mentee1-mentor2-mentee2
So mentors are alwayts between their mentee and someone elses mentee. In my first mentor game, to my east is my mentee to my west another mentee. So i have to attack him. I took out his Hw and he quit. i am bird, he is fed. it was mean but it is war ;)
My mentee is learning mountains and the others learned the mistake of not hiding his ship traffic.
My suggestion is to have mentor1-mentee1-mentee2-memtor2 so that mentor fight a mentor and we mentors can advice the mentees on…

Adjust ship build que
Ship build should create a que number base on when ship is setup to be built. During that turn the PBP could be used to decide which bases pick up first option in the que but this could also be done by date time stamp of when player submitted turn. This allows everyone to build and the one with most bases of course gets better position by building more ships. This should help races like the crystals who may rely on cunning to capture but does have powerful ships to kill. So they cant just get PBP to easily thus…
2 votesThis is actually a duplicate. We’ll be trying the new PP system for now but this suggestion is noted.

BUG: Tow doesn't work the second.
54847: Part Ofyour World Sector
I think there is something going wrong with the tow order.
Now in this turn i stand in a warpwell with a meteor and a biocide on the same location. Both ships are uncloaked. ;-)
Both at warp1.Meteor ID 233 , Bio ID 107.
I try to tow the biocide with warp 9 65 ly away.
He tows me at warp1 1 ly away.
He wins the tow and destroys the Meteor!
WHY!!!!
Donovan:
If two ships in one position are using tractor beams on each other, the ship with the higher warp factor will…1 vote -
put Asteroids documentation under "How to Play"
Saw asteroids in a single-player game.
Clicked on "How to Play" at the top of each page.
Lots of info (debri disks, nebulas, star clusters, and much more), but not on Asteroids.I am fairly sure there must be documentation somewhere, so it can probably just be moved (or copied, but then you'd have to maintain it twice).

Bug: duplicate planet name
In game http://planets.nu/#/sector/72791 planets #155 and #375 are both named "Taulus"

make Ion Storms move AFTER ship movement.
I accept Ion Storms add a random element, and needed advantage to Birdmen, but they shouldn't be so devasting. If they can't be shrunk or made less damaging, then at LEAST set them to move AFTER ship movement. It would at least save us time trying to guess 2 moves in advance as to where the storm will be.

Make the game completely free.
I would like it if the game were completely free, where winners would get points for winning, and spend those points to make games that payers get, and to
I feel the need for this because the ability to get better starbase tech in game by paying money, imbalances the game to those who spend more money.
Currently the bonuses received for paying are:
Ability to raise any starbase tech levels past 7
Ability to join more than 3 games at a time
Access to "Inner Quadrant" games with special add-ons, features, team play and private games

Ship travelling at Warp 1 outside planet into a gravity well should be pulled in
They don't now, you can do a warp 1 outside the planet to the gravity well and stay in the gravity well indefinitely. I assume this is a bug.
0 votesThis is part of the original game and adds greatly to the depth of the strategy. It won’t be changed. Use the warp well to your advantage! :)

Give a "Planets holiday" between December 25 and January 1
Since people tend to get really busy during the holidays, I would like to propose a "holiday" between December 25 and January 1 during which host only runs if all turns are submitted. Those dates are just a proposal. I am in the USA, and it may be appropriate to offset those dates a bit for those who have different holidays in other countries.
This would give welcome respite for a week during a time when people are very likely to be traveling. But if all players are able to play, the game would still run when all submit their…
40 votesObviously,we didn’t give a holiday during this time. Even though other host sites have done this in the past Nu has always followed the policy of no shut downs. We’ve got the simple holiday mode button if you need to miss a turn.
I know there are quite a few supporters of this, but we wont’ be implementing this in the future, so I’ll return these votes.
Nu will continue to be an “always on” service so that everyone can get their fix whenever they need it. :)

Bug Report: Ship not firing all beams
Bug Report. In game 48908 (Kobol Sector) I just watched a VCR where my Little Joe Escort fired only 3 of its beam weapons against oncoming fighters. This is turn 52, battle between Colonies (caelarch) and Rebels (anaconda).
