Move Leaderboard updates to being at the end of the reset rather than every day for attacks, missiles and the like.

1) it will depend on server load (we don't want to crash the server when it updates)
2) will depend what version of "resets" list the script uses.

Bare with us while we attempt to bring the change online.

Thank you, may I suggest creating a 2nd node server just to handle the updates to take the load off the game server?

I don't think its needed at the moment.. but it could be on the cards if needed.

Yep, that was in response to your stated concern about crushing the server when it updates.

This is mostly for Req. Because yes this needs to happen before profiles are forced open. Which has already been suggested.

Agreed, open profiles, I've been advocating this for years.

How about a noticeable bonus for players who have an open profile?

An extra 10% for explore rates or turns or whatever

I don't think netters need incentives for opening up their profile, the incentive should be more missiles or spal boost.

Fewer earthquakes for users with open profiles.

I don't think suiciders care if they get earthquakes or not, their goal is to be pests, and I was being sarcastic about the missiles and spal 😉
