I know you want to fix first all bugs but i have some suggestions, which i dont want to forget so i write them here. Perhaps some of them are so nice that you like to implement them anyway.

general things
I got a first impression of GW yesterday. I am impressed by the work so far. If i saw it right at the moment winning / loosing is affecting planet ownership by 10%. For an attack you have to wait 1h. You can initiate more than one attack but if you are in game / fighting your attack is not carried out.

I know how much work is done and surely there is so much more to do. I think the attack / defend planet mechanism need a slight different design. So here are my suggestions:

You must move your ACU from Planet to Planet with a delay (formula same for attacks) of 4-8 minutes depending on the distance. You can queue all orders so you dont have to be logged in. If an order is impossible the order queue gets deleted. Your ACU could get moved because the planet he stays is lost or because a general orders it. For a regular attack you have to spend at least some of your resource points like its now. You can spend more points so potentially if you win you get more control. You


ranking
uef could have theese ranks: other faction perhaps have a flat hierarchy with just 4 ranks
Rank Number Title
10 1 General ***** King / President / can do everything (promote to ....general)
9 1-3 General **** can do everything except promote to ... General and making treaties beween factions
8 0-np Lieutenant General responsible for one planet
7 0-npy Major General can assign home planet and give move orders to acu
6 0-npy Brigadier General can give move orders
5 0-npy Colonel
4 0-npy Major
3 0-npy Captain
2 0-npy First Lieutenant
1 0-npy Second Lieutenant
0 0-npy Private

np = number of planets
npy = number of players


The General of the Army can do everything, but makes mostly the big decisions. He can overrule the decisions of every one
To gain ranks you have too fight against each other. You normally dont die in ranking games only if both are willing to fight a battle to death.

Up to colonel you must have won at least 50% of the last 10 games on the target rank or higher, to get promoted automatically. from then on only the general***** can promote you to a minor general. Only a general**** can challange the highest general to gain the full power. This would be a fight to death. the five star general (king/queen/president whatever) is allowed resign and give the power to another general****. they are switching positions.


if your ACU is destroyed in war battles you die. The one with a lower rank and the highest prestige gets promoted automatically so there is one promoted on every rank under the dying one.

planet ownership
The ownership of planet should be adjusted / recalculated over time perhaps once per day or so. I think this would add some dynamic to the galaxy. A planet could turn completely to one faction automatically. The formula could use a slight progression factor.

defownerpercentage = dop
attackerownerpercentage = aop
dop = dop+10/(100/dop)-5
aop = 100-dop

Not bad ideas but too complicated for now.

Also the map will be way bigger so it probably won't fit well.
