			<title>Villain declares war!</title>
			<link>http://villain.forumotion.net/news-f12/villain-declares-war-t199.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Doom</dc:creator>
			<description>On Friday night, Villain began initial strikes against Cut Throats, a guild of comparable size located primarily in E53.



As of now, Villain continues to make hits against [CT] fleets and bases, using this training exercise as a way to gauge individual members and their combat expertise as well as training newer members in AE combat tactics.



[CT] has been kind enough to return fire (in most cases) and continues to struggle despite Villain's obvious tactical superiority. </description>

			<dc:creator>Doom</dc:creator>
			<description>AE Developers have posted new rules for Fighter Swarms to the AE forums. These rules are modified from what was initially proposed after a massively negative response from players. The new rules can be found at http://forum.astroempires.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=70020 and are quoted below:

			<title>New Protection Rules</title>
			<link>http://villain.forumotion.net/news-f12/new-protection-rules-t149.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Doom</dc:creator>
			<description>AE Developers have posted the following new protection rules at http://forum.astroempires.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=69110



Quote:Beside the normal protection rules to new players that protect them just until level 30, a new rule will be implemented to protect them by giving less incentive to high level players to attack much lower level players.



Rule:



If a player attacks/occupy a player less that 2/3 of his level:

- He only gets x% of the pillage/trade routes plunder/occupation  ...</description>

			<title>Debris Formula Adjustment</title>
			<link>http://villain.forumotion.net/news-f12/debris-formula-adjustment-t76.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Doom</dc:creator>
			<description>According to the Developer board at the Astro Empires forum, a new debris formula will be implemented next week sometime. Currently, the formula gives debris at Unit Cost X 2% per armor level. The new formula will give debris at Unit Cost X 10% + 1.5% per armor level. What does this mean for us? It means anyone with Armor level 20 or higher will see less debris than before, while new players will see more debris.
