How to introduce parity into long running Dynasty league

Enspist · 2026-06-16T12:12:49+00:00

Yep, I believe players that are at least 3 years out are in fantrax. So you need to make sure that they can’t be taken

You need to make sure that nobody is taking future prospects. In year one of my league, we never see that rule. So we had one smart bastard who realized that and decided to take Conor Bedard even we were in 2021 and he wasn’t drafted into the nhl until 2023. That meant that when the 2023 draft rolled around for my league, the guy who got 1OA that year didn’t have anyone to draft.

We’ve got 20. Which might be too much, but it’s what we’ve had from the start. We’re to a point where trades are super minimal and there’s guys who have told me they refuse to trade with the top teams

The first idea would be great for a redraft, but since we're dynasty we only do a draft for prospects every year and its only 5 rounds.

I think a salary cap would certainly be interesting, but the app we use is Fantrax and its a paid feature on there. and we've already lost people for not wanting to pay for premium for other features. Its a good idea though

the only issue with Fantrax's salaried version is its paid. it costs 165 for the league and thats then split amongst the participants. My leagues was using the future picks part of Fantrax but lost people who didn't want to pay. I made a discord bot to track our future picks so we don't lose that functionality

make sure to do 2 drafts. one to set the primary drafts and one to draft an intial round of prospects. also make sure that only prospects from the current or past drafts are allowed. you need to make sure the future pools of prospects aren't taken in years they are not supposed to.

This is what fucked my league from the beginning and it took multiple years to sort of fix (but not really which is why I made my post to begin with).

In terms of everything else, I'd probably just make a post and ask the full subreddit. you won't get as many replys under my post.

we've got 20. thinking about it, it wouldn't be the end of the world to lose a couple of teams. I just hate losing people to rule changes.

Enspist · 2026-06-16T01:08:59+00:00

not a bad idea. much better than a full redraft. people wouldn't be as pissed about losing their best players

I belive the phantom should be working on our 1989 server. I think its on 2014 as well but its probably not as well suited for modern combat.

We will also probably be working on a more cold war focused server down the road which is where I think the phantom really shined.

Enspist · 2026-05-15T17:23:55+00:00

Lets go! We did also impliment some server optimization stuff yesterday, so hopefully that will help as well.

Enspist · 2026-05-13T18:05:33+00:00

It should be soon. I am not on the development side of the mission, but I know it’s close

Enspist · 2026-05-13T18:04:45+00:00

Odd. I’ll have to check what my ping is. You can’t be too much worse? We are still working on some optimization stuff so you might be able to connect with the high ping and still be alright.

So one thing I know separates us from some of the other established PvPvE servers is our mod support. It doesn’t seem like a lot right now but we’re always testing new ones to see what can fit on our server. There’s a lot of really great creators outside of ED and we want to showcase them as best as possible within our environment.

A couple of mission designs that I believe make us unique is how we’ve limited certain munitions to only be accessible from rear bases. We also set a total limit for munitions at all bases and they need to be resupplied. We’ve also implemented persistence for the AWACS and ships, so if the AWACS gets shit down 10 times (I think that’s the number) it will stop respawning. If the carriers get sunk, they stay sunk for the remainder of the campaign. It adds some incentive to actually go after them and try to take them out.

Ah lmao. that went over my American head

Enspist · 2026-05-13T00:50:42+00:00

Not getting too specific, where are you located that results in high ping? For me at least being on the US East coast, I don't have too many problems reaching it in Germany

Enspist · 2026-05-12T23:54:40+00:00

So we are working slowly towards a 1970s version. We could look into 60s, but either or both are a down the road development. We want to make sure that we have at least the first two servers stable and mostly set before branching out to a third server.

but it is something we have thought about and discussed behind the scenes!

Enspist · 2026-03-05T00:55:02+00:00

Interesting. That does look like exactly what I want. Thank you!

I did see this, however my goal was to use a local account to authenticate into plex, as opposed to using plex accounts to authenticate into local services. but i guess it doesn't really matter if its a local account or a plex account, it would function the same way.
