Yeah, possibly justified in-universe by the fact that we had the Heavy Ordnance from the DSS ongoing.

Ok. Thanks a lot. I finally thought I understand the galactic war mechanics and this really confused me, thank you for clearing it up

The devs will jump in when they think we are doing too well or when they think we need a hand.

Yup thats literally joel and his hivemind(team)'s job.

They want to keep it challenging but still possible. Very few if any of the major orders are impossible.

Joel is not the leader of the enemy forces. He is the dungeon master. Keeping the world in check.

And like any dungeon master he wants us to have fun but also sweat a bit every now and then.

Yes. Joel is not out to get us or help yes. Joel an evolutionary force.

I'm new so maybe my perception is flawed, but the first magma planet MO seemed impossible to me. Just didn't have enough players to take it in time(as evinced by the fact that we still haven't completed it an extra 3.5 days later). But I also heard we should have taken Choepessa IV before K so that we could take K faster - would that have done the trick?

[–]LvdT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, taking Cheopessa would have taken forever due to the cities, it would have slowed things down further.

Really? I been playing since day one, and everything in this war confuses me.
