ok so im 99.999999999451% sure this suggestion will not be listened to but im trying anyways... wouldn't it be better if we had a wider variety of planets?


I was just thinking how much cooler it would be if we had a "Death Star" planet or "Toxic Planet" etc


they could add strategy for example:

Toxic Planet
Toxic atmosphere discourages enemy forces to fight in the open.

+85% colonists combat bonus, -30% capacity / level for Toxic Planet


Metro Planet
Planet Filled with advanced technology and banking system

+5% colonists combat bonus, +50% capacity, +20% credits / level for Metro Planet




Those are just two examples of what could be added... please comment on this idea and tell me if they should/should not be added


NOTE: the aboce planets types would follow the Habitat Improvement tech

that would be pretty cool, but of course its a lot to implement. bring it up with emi  :yawn:

meh

Well Mobius I have to agree with you on this one, it would be interesting if emi could program automatic planet changes, for example if the planets pollution reaches 100% the planet is changed into a toxic planet, and the pollution resets, if a planet passes 100% again it suffers a large drop in the max amount of people it can take, until eventually everyone dies :D

if pollution is at 100% for 48 hours, then the planet is converted to a toxic planet.

it will have -100% creds, meaning it makes no credits, +100% combat and will take 24 hours to clean up and revert to its old planet type.

this could also be used as a last resort way to defend your planet ;)

How does pollution work anyway?

well what happens, is people pump lots of toxic gases into the atmosphere and the air seems to reduce in quality there after

You have no idea how ridiculous a minus capacity, plus combat planet would be, do you?
-------
I really like the idea of a no credits planet.

This seems like a fair addition:

Toxic Soup Planet:
per level : +40% mining, -150% credits, +50% combat, +5% capacity
and some kind of negation of polluition tax.

----This would probably help fix the fact that mining on a planet blows.

Um, does -150% mean you have to pay it money? -100% is max....or min for this case :P

que2que... nighty or chikn or whoever you are, i never said reduced capacity so get your facts straight. by -100% creds, i mean all. on main server u can have more than +100% creds, but i should have said all. ALL of the colonists work will be spent cleaning the planet.

if its thought through well enough it should be an interesting update... but hell, dont expect anything...

new planet types would be cool. I'll make a list and see if we can add some more on the SO Main new round  :)

Feel free to suggest more planet types in this topic.

oh yay!


like jessie said, a planet kind could change if say it gets attacked too much it becomes "War Ravaged" and gets an extra combat bonus

great idea mob  :) maybe if it isn't attacked much it gets a - combat bonus?

Planets really skew the game - they should be more attackable in general, e.g., upgrades to attack.

here are a few ideas courtesy of Pof


Tundra Planet

+20% combat +15% creds +5% pop -5% mining

+50% mining +10% combat 60% population -30% credits

Volcanic Planet:
+30% mining +50% combat -5% population
