To vote on the arena rules, you have to be a guru for the game, which means that you are in the top 100 or so active players during a given period. Given how popular Space Base is, I think you'll have to play a lot of games.

Lol well I don't know about the secret play alot, become a guru, then vote in a player count route - but I guess that is an option

Was hoping there could be both 2p and 4p arena, but after being on this site a bit more it seems they prefer to only choose one player count for arena games. If that is the case I think 3p is preferable as some of the other people here mentioned.

I prefer 4 player. I do not like 2 player at all.

Not exactly. It's one configuration per season, but it can change each season, and in some games it changes frequently. A season lasts 3 months.

Season 8 was 3 players without light speed. Seasons 9 to 16 inclusive were 4 players with light speed, and the arena format rolled over each time because no-one proposed a change so there wasn't even a vote. The voting for season 17 was between keeping the same format again (9 votes for, 8 against) and switching to 3 players, light speed, Gordon removed (15 for, 8 against). We are currently in season 17.

I'm currently a guru for Space Base because I play a lot, but I don't play arena. My personal opinion from when I did play a couple of seasons of arena in some games is that, given the way it works, playing arena only makes sense for two-player games which are much more weighted towards skill than luck. I wonder whether most of the gurus are similarly completely indifferent to arena: that might explain why the format rolled over without any proposals to change for two years. Maybe you could try to persuade the devs to add an "opt out" flag where a guru can choose to resign their position so that it's mainly people who play a lot and care about the arena format who get to vote on it.

I strongly dislike 2 player in space base its not balanced
