An arbitrary system like this is a bad way to ensure that weak Factions stay alive. They should be using Mercenaries and increased rewards for that.

We are currently only in Phase 2 of CW. My thoughts on what they can add to Phase 3 is here and it addresses your concerns about using Mercenaries.

Did you vote yet?

Yes completely random times of the day WITHOUT a clock counting down

However i wouldn't like to see 3 planets flipping per day on each front

[Saiphas Cain]

I get about an hour and a half a night to play. Ceasefire happens a few minutes after I get on every single night so if I'm not fast enough getting the drop ready or I'm even a few minutes late I pretty much get no CW that night. Even when the stars align I usually only get 1 drop. A rolling time would be ideal and would silence complaints, not that there's much merit in most of them.
Every victory counts. You're not the only ones fighting for each planet.

Why not keep it 24 hours but just tally all the attacks for the day to make sure that every attack and defense counts? Or do away with the ceasefire time completely and allow planets to be captured based purely on a number of successful attacks? Any ceasefire like we currently have will still cultivate cries of "meaningless" CW time. Keep it simple and just tally a full days worth of attacks and defenses or take away the time frame and make it purely based on the number of successful sectors attacked and held.

I am given to understand that the cease fires are needed by the server so it can update itself. Move the borders, assign the occupying unit, and randomly pick another group of attack/defend worlds. So sadly as of right now the ceasefires are needed from a systems stand point if nothing else.

Still liking the fixed + random timer combo the best 12h + 0-24hr to me seems ideal. Some breathing room, same average number of planet flips (once per day average), much bigger window of opportunity, and of course more war.

I think once a day at a random time is the best option because if its twoice, while I do think its a better option than we have presently, planets will switch to often with a twice aday method

[Yukichi Fukuzawa]

Where is my less than once a day option?

That option has been addressed.

4 times a day sounds good to me.

This allows for much more of a push/pull on planets and you'll have to rely on all time zones to focus and hold planets.
