upkeep is only natural as it adds some reality to the game.

Reality?!! Are you saying my lasers shouldn't be making pew pew noises? :O

on the side of reality, no your lasers can make pew pew noises, but that doesn't mean we can't get interesting interactions - interesting play - from realistic systems - if they are designed to be fun.

Could the percentage of income that upkeep takes be lowered, by like 50 to 100 percent...to make it more manageable...

well everyone would have bigger fleets, so that would be different.

but befor it was, log in hit max, and you're done for the day, now you need to plan accordingly, and with ally docks you can have massive surprise fleets

i really can't see any cons of upkeep.

FYI, i think i have two old versions of CW, gold and classic.

from about 2004/5 (before the first dark age) and around R2.5 i think.

not promising anything, but i may be able to let you run your own games (ie setup a server with the code base you want and play to your hearts content...) It just needs some tonne of work...
