My stance is to keep existing uni and make a new steemnova 2.0 with all the great features you created and then some. @sarmaticus surely you put in some effort to establish steemnova and don't want to lose any of the most dedicated players on the platform by restarting?

The new features look great but that is always apart of the tech innovations. It doesn't look into the human side of things. Some of us although few love the platform the way it is now and enjoying the game. I am one of those who appreciate the time it took to built an empire and hate to see it all gone.

On the other hand I certainly agree lack of players derive from difficulties in smaller players building an empire safely. I propose making a threshold setting that considers the player a newbie and can not be attack. Threshold as in having more than lvl 10 refineries or handful of planets and so on. Threshold gets adjusted higher as more players level up with higher stats.

Creating a new token is a must. Main element is you or controller of the game gets to reward players fairly. The current system lacks that because sbd earnings are small. Giving out daily rewards for top daily players keeps the interest going. Having sbd as a reward is fixed to how much you can give versus your own token it is limitless.

The end game feature is interesting but doubt it will help in the long run. One of the main themes of the original ogame is the 24/7 play time. To somehow make it where any player once achieve a long time to achieve goal defeats the purpose of playing the game at all. Look at the irony of that? Build something so great it will cause a game over?

Last point if people truly love to play the game it is not because of the money or wealth they gain. It is from the friendships and social interactions they have gained.
