'''Round 16''' was the 18th round of Planetarion (there was a Round 9.5 and a Round 10.5) and in an attempt to draw more players to the game, accounts are free.
The round was named 'The End Of An Era', a name submitted by [[Emperor Alan|KingAlan]]. This name is a reference to the end of the [[PAX]] system. The next round was to be based on the [[PAN]] engine, although the changes to [[Round 17]] were eventually too subtle to say that the game engine had been changed.

The [[Round 16:Ship Stats|ship stats]] featured the return of several classic ship names, including the '[[Interceptor]]'. (now a Zik FI-FI ship)

Ticks started at 21:00 GMT on Friday 27th January, with a shuffle at tick 36 (9:00 GMT Sunday 29th January), and continued until 21:00 GMT on the 25th March, due to some server stoppages late on. 

Round 16 began with [[1up]], [[NewDawn]], [[Angels]] taking up all the running. After [[1up]] gained a lead after skirmishes between [[NewDawn]] and [[Angels]], the universe quickly changed focus on them and a long, drawn out painful war ensued. [[1up]] although heavily pegged back managed to hold out but despite this considerable achievement were to be denied a round victory. [[Ascendancy]], who after spending the majority of the round rising up to 9th place, shot up to a 40 million score lead by adding all their members into their tag due to their non-reliance on defence allowing them to go without members in tag. [[Ascendancy]] held out for a remarkable victory, their instant rise to 1st pretty much knocking the wind out of their opposition's sails.

3:9 won the galaxy race having led for large chunks of the round and the eventual winner of the biggest planet was the moderator of Alliance Discussions, [[JonnyBGood]] who held on despite the efforts of [[rain]] who was gaining fast on him by the closing stages of the round.

Tick 98 and [[Round 17]] of Planetarion begins in earnest with the first few launches as the round is in its infancy. My choice of favourites would be [[NewDawn]], [[Omen]], [[1up]] (currently untagged) and [[Angels]]. However, [[Insomnia]] and [[Howling Rain]] have also got off to a strong start, although we're still at early doors. Last round's winners, [[Ascendancy]] have got off to a slow start but as we all know to them success is a journey, so why bother running. Time will tell if they're to repeat their feats of last round.

It's tick 430 and the round has been going for 2 and a half weeks. [[1up]] are first, followed by an energised [[Subh]] and [[NewDawn]]. By far the most exciting news has been [[Angels]] purging itself of 19 members in an effort to clear inactives; in so doing, they have dropped from 3rd to 9th. Taking the greatest advantage of this are [[Vengeance]] and [[TGV]] who cement places in the top 5, although [[LCH]] are hot on [[TGV|TGV's]] tail. The other suprise is [[Dingo|Dingo's]] holding of the #1 planet rank for a few days, based on a [[XP]]-whoring tactic.

With protection drawing to an end, [[Alliance Discussions]] rejoices at the [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=189537 return of Quha]. [[XtoTheZ]] has also made a [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=189517 highly surprising and totally unexpected announcement] stating that [[Elysium]] have returned to play round 16. With a dozen alliances closing on the limit of 50 planets, it looks like there will be a competitive playing field with many outsiders looking to take on the favorites, [[1up]] and [[Angels]].

* [[User:Furball|Furball]] 00:15, 3 January 2006 (GMT)
eXilition wins Round 15, defeating NewDawn who take second. Angels unsuprisingly end 3rd, while LCH pip 1up to fourth. Subh, VGN, TGV and F-Crew bring up the rear.
