fighting a war costs to much, that's why there are not many wars

Land crafts, DOWs, attack costs on the same empire level, mobilisation cost
you can't tell me you cannot fix those problems quick by adjusting some base values :/

mobbing cost on non-jump mechs should be reduced at the very least.
Also give newbies a bonus by giving them an extra 25K-50K in Small Empire Subsidy to play around with.

Yes, makes it kind of hard to be an activer attacker - recently i was warring with another empire the same size as me i went after one of his cities and was told was going to cost me 500m - WITH declaration, 500m is not much if your L10+.. but for a mid sized empire.. this is a fortune and then you add transport costs, the mobilization costs following such attacks.. plus plus plus.. so that 500 has come close to a billion dollars.. for what.. a 10k pop city plus your lose a sniper or two and a mech or two..
In short yes, you want us more war active ? then make the price of warring more reasonable - ESPECIALLY for small to mid sized empires.
Perhaps look at the costs of an average raid from a LevelX player vs the LevelX player's nev income - if you want them to make attacks per nev year then the total costs involved should not exceed thier annual [nev] income, allow also for general improvements and replacement of lost units..
As it stands now, I have found that the only way to stay war active is to keep pumping DPs into your empire and converting them to nev$ on the black market ($50m each, which is 5x the regular donation amount per DP)

It appears that Admin is not interested in the opinion of the player base on how LWing can be improved , they just want us to do it . The fact that it takes a mid level empire a RL year to save up enough money for a campaign of any length is besides the point .
I think that your comment about DP is more what it is all about . Starve the players for nevcash , change the rules so their empires are screwed up if they do not LW , sit and wait for the money they will send in for DP so they can keep their empires running .
While the cost of LWing is a major point I think another one is the fact that ABR is .... how do I put it ..... SCREWED . (as pointed out in several other threads)
