So ppl in my CW can be in a different fed than I am. Not sure that makes sense. It's completely opposite to the concept / structure of Federations we have had for nearly two years. Where it's commonwealths and their members forming an alliance.

@Vyryn the vote is 3 days OR once the person gets over 50% of voters to approve. The problem is probably the newly accepted colony not getting the notice that they were approved. Signing out/in of their colony again should reflect the new status.

you can only join a federation if you are independent, so there is little chance someone in your commonwealth would join a different fed.

Not only independent but as it stands right now having built a hall of congress. This closes feds off for the midgame, though perhaps it is a good reason for people to hold off on their independence until they can afford a hall of congress.

how do you turn on the gbt / gdp ticker?

I confirm the duplicated ballots bug.

Now, can we have a federations api ? :) or alternatively a field in the colony info api

Edit : you should also force clients to upgrade to latest version, or disallow obsolete versions, so that people won't stay in older versions to get trillions gdp or not having the data fetched from the server on loading (allowing cheats)

On the GBT screen, the top option on the left sidebar is something like "Galactic News Service"

There will be an API eventually.

For the duplicate ballots, on the "bright side" the server will absolutely not allow voting twice on the same petition, so the fix should be simple.

Clients are somewhat forced to upgrade, in that the server API only allows stats to be published from the last few recent versions of the game. So right now, anything before v0.72.0 gets rejected from the server. I can't totally cut the older versions off right at release, since there is lag time between release and when people get the updates, especially on mobile.

GDP will be normalized soon enough. And I guess if somebody wants to never update to keep their old fake number on the 'top colonies' list, their colony will eventually get scrubbed due to inactivity once the API stops accepting their version.

Just to clarify, I did check on the server, and none of these ballots are actually being duplicated on the server. What it looks like is happening is that I forgot to clear out the old balloting list whenever it parses the new ballots from the server, so all of the old ones keep piling up on the list until you reload the game.

Some suggestions and ideas
I think that zolarg and draconian starships when on map should look different. Also, PVP should have rewards. Maybe different lvls of starship! Ability to name starship!
I think these are some good ideas also how do you get starships?
