I have finished resetting the server. The server is open for account creation but I will not open the game until tomorrow morning so that everyone has an equal chance to get signed up.

The major changes are as follows:

1. The universe is now 150,000 light years as opposed to the previous 15,000 light years. This means that you will have to warp through space much longer because it will take engine levels of at least 25 to be able to realspace in 1 or 2 turns. This was done to slow player's ability to map out the universe and find everyone else.

2. The bounty system is back on.

3. The IGB is on with a max deposit amount of 500 billion credits. This will give you the ability to build a little nest egg, but you will still have to keep a lot of money on your planets so that eventually attacking will be worthwhile.

4. Planetary apocolypse and independant takeovers will occur only every 1440 minutes.

The rest of the settings are whatever the standard game settings were, except for turns which are still at 35 every 5 minutes, with a max of 20,000.

I hope we can attract more players and have a much better game experience.
