I guess the reason is that those melees were meant for fast fun and action without much thinking. But in fact this is not how Planets is played - especially not in games which count for something (awards, leaderboard). The current setup emphasizes a quite unbalanced part of the game - the leisure time each player can spend for his turn.
You have more planets and ships from the start, you have more neighbours and find them earlier, ship limit hits earlier, decisive battles happen earlier ... means the early turns are even more important and time consuming than in standard games.
I'd support to reduce the daily hosts for melees to 10 or 15 turns instead of 30. In my opinion it's more fun overall if missed / hurried turns and therefore drops are reduced and players have time to think about their decisions. |
