Changes compared with the other SI Classic universes


    Dear Space Pilots


    It is time to explore new worlds. During the past 3 years, there has been no new SpaceInvasion Classic universe. That's why we would like to welcome you to the new INT-universe "GeNeSIS" (Generation Next - Spaceinvasion Speed). This new universe will not only offer you our new configuration changes, but also a lot of exciting and new strategies as well as further additional features and challenges.


    As if that were not enough, this new universe is even running with 3x speed.


    The following parameters apply to the new GeNeSIS universe:


    Start: September 18th, 2015 (18:00 CET)
    Duration: 2 years, until September 17th, 2017 (23:59:59) (Effective runtime of 6 years!)
    Speed: 3-fold (both buildings/production and fleet/flight)


    Planets: 17 (+3 optionally purchasable)
    Planet size: 250 static fields
    Astro size: 15 static fields


    Adjustments:

    • Get 1 Urplasma daily for your first login
    • Scanner: 10.000 Spice/usage; Range: 2/level
    • All ships/defense units are available
    • Amount of galaxies is reduced to 6
    • Reducing the possible number Astros per account 3

      • It is no longer necessary to apply for astro shots
    • 2 new attack zones

      • AZ 16: 2,000,000 points
      • AZ 17: 5,000,000 points
    • Change of rule "3 attacks in a 24":

      • 2 AZ: 1 Attack / 24
      • 1 AZ: 2 attacks / 24
      • Same AZ: 3 attacks / 24
      • +1 AZ: 4 attacks / 24
      • +2 AZ: 5 attacks / 24
    • Upgrades for all mines, blast furnace and fusion plant

      • Optionally unlock 3 slots (with 10% more production each) with Urplasma
    • Instant building completion: Optionally finish your building construction with Urplasma when 20% of building is complete

      • Each hour that your building needs to be completed costs you 1 Urplasma
    • The Interdimensional Transmitter and the resources/fleet start packages won’t be available during the first 2 months

      • After the IDT has been activated activated, you’ll also get your free daily spin as usual


    Finally, we would like to point out that we do not intend to apply the parameters used in the GeNeSIS Uni to the existing universes.



    Have Fun and Best Regards


    Your SI Team

    Hi Space Pilots!


    Not quite a week to wait until we go to new galaxies in the GeNeSIS universe! We got a lot of feedback from you containing praise and criticism or concerns.
    So again the team has met again to make a few changes to GeNeSIS which we now present to you here, while also want to clarify a few things from the last announcement.


    Changes to the Genesis universe:

    • the planets per system were limited to 3
    • there were changes made in the building upgrade feature (see below)
    • for the completion of assingments in the construction queue a development center of level 12 is now necessary in addition to the already completed 20% of building assignments
    • There were now prizes defined for the winners and participants of the GeNeSIS universe (see below)
    • The possible attacks per 24 hours on a planet were doubled. You can now attack 2 AZ above your own 10 times instead of 5 times a day, for example
    • Inactive (yellow) players can now be attacked only after the bashing-limitation. That means, an AZ 15 player can attack an AZ 3 yellow player, but only twice a day

    The building upgrade feature:

    This feature is designed to enable you to earn multiple productions for your mines, the blast furnace or the fusion power plant partly for free.



    We now want you to explain this system in more detail:



    Each building (pig iron mine, blast furnace, kryptonit mine, spice mine and fusion power plant) will have 5 possible "slots" for which you can purchase or unlock each 3% more efficiency.



    Each of these 3 slots can be unlocked by you with Urplasma:
    Here there are 3 different running times:

    • 3 days: 1 Urplasma
    • 14 days: 4 Urplasma
    • 30 days: 8 Urplasma

    The Urplasma you can buy in the shop as usual, earn it with the daily login bonus, or earn it with the Urplasma research.
    Furthermore startig from AZ 5 you will get the opportunity to permanently activate slots for free. In AZ 5 you get the opportunity to permanently activate one slot, in AZ 10 two slots and in AZ 15 three slots.



    Prices for participation in the GeNeSIS universe:



    We have increasingly heard from the community's desire to maintain the accounts permanently after the GeNeSIS universe. The integration of these accounts in an existing universe is not possible. We also want the endless universes, as they exist now, not depreciate, when a round-based universe actually mutates into an endless universe.
    Therefore please mind that all the game data from the GeNeSIS can not be accessed after it’s end.
    However, we want you to have a large incentive to participate and earn also for your existing accounts global Urplasma.



    The following system we have developed togeher with you, the SpaceInvasion community. We would like to thank you for the participating votes and opinions!



    Now we want to introduce to you the main prizes of the GeNeSIS universe. As in the current speed universe, the highest ranking counts as a win. No player can win more than once! After being checked by our team, all following players move up 1 place accordingly.



    In advance: all player and alliance rankings from 1-10 will be published in our planned Hall of Fame!



    Overall ranking 1st place:

    • a GeNeSIS Trophy for 1st place
    • a SpaceInvasion Merchandise Package
    • 1,000 global Urplasma
    • get the chance to create your own weekend speed universe (with deactivated pay options):

      • pick out the start date (in consultation with the team)
      • pick out the name (if it is legally acceptable)
      • pick out the speed (from 50x to 300x)
      • pick out how many planets will be available (from 3-25)
      • pick out the configuration parameters such as

        • Size of the astros / planets
        • ships / defense
        • gala scanner
        • gala size
        • AZ distribution
        • depending on the development of the game in the meantime possibly other parameters


    Overall ranking 2nd place:


    • a GeNeSIS Trophy for 2nd place
    • a SpaceInvasion Merchandise Package
    • 1,000 global Urplasma

    Overall ranking 3rd place:


    • a GeNeSIS Trophy for 3rd place
    • a SpaceInvasion Merchandise Package
    • 1,000 global Urplasma

    Building, fleet and research rank 1-10:


    • a SpaceInvasion Merchandise Package

    All players (except the places 1, 2 and 3 in the overall ranking) receive (in addition to the eventual Merchendise Package) Urplasma, which is calculated based on the activity and points scored.



    How much Urplasma you will exactly get it, will be shown in the command center below your planet overview.



    Here we would like you to explain how the Urplasma reward calculation will be composed after 2 years. For this purpose we have prepared a sample image:



    [Blocked Image: http://presse.spaceinvasion.de/board/genesis.png]



    Decisive for the calculation are your earned points in the 3 categories fleet, building and research. Here, an average value of the points of each category will be formed in comparison with the winners of the category.



    That means for the example above:
    Building 100%; Fleet: 4%; Research 75%
    The mean value is thus 59%



    It should be noted that if you have "only" earned less than 1% in one of the 3 categories, you do not participate at the urplasma payout.



    In the 4th line you now see an activity value.
    This value indicates how long you have acively been playing in the GeNeSIS universe and it will be the smaller, the later you’ve joined the universe or when you’ve set vacation mode.
    If you participated from the beginning and did not set vacation mode, you will have 100% here. Then the value, that is calculated as an average of the 3 rankings, is your final value.
    Otherwise, the ranking average is adjusted proportionally. If you’ve been active for only 50% of the runtime, you’ll get 29% instead of 59% at the end.



    The final percentage of 50% in our example is taken from our maximum amount (800 Urplasma).
    This means that the player with these ranking values could earn 400 Urplasma as global Urplasma until the end of 2 years!
    Well, how does that sound? [Blocked Image: http://board.spaceinvasion.info/wcf/images/smilies/smile.png]



    We hope these changes to inspire some more players for the GeNeSIS universe and also to be able to dispel some concerns about the new purchase options.



    Many greetings and a good start with the GeNeSIS universe!



    Best Regards
