For some reason I started thinking about Planetarion the other day. I've been injuried and im not working atm, so I decided to play this round for fun.
Some decent changes has been made, and a new race might be a good addition to the game. However I still feel that the galaxies could get some functions to unite the players within them.
I was thinking something similiar to the engineering each (paid) planet has.
The GC could have an option that would affect all the planets in the galaxy. Should be able to change it every now and then(72h?)
Theese options could be stuff like;
Economy - All planets in the galaxy gain 5% more resources from mining and salvage. The galaxy fund has an interest of 1% each day. Trading with the fund is free. Deep core drilling researches reduced by 20%. Covertops stealing resources are 5% more effective. Finance centres cost 20% less.
Asteroids - All planets in the galaxy gains 3% more roids on attack and looses 3% less roids when attacked. Initiating cost is reduced by 10%. Cargo researches reduced by 10%. Asteroidstealing ships(pods) are 10% cheaper.
Combat - Some boost in combat, not sure exactly how this should be done. Ship researches reduced by 10%. Productiontime reduced by 1 tick. Salvage increased by 10%.
Traveltime - In galaxy eta is reduced by 1(2?) ticks Traveltime reseraches reduced by 10%. All fleets have -1(2?) eta on return.
Science - Research time reduced by 10%. Scans research reduced by 20% and Scans cost reduced by 20%. Scan efficiency inreased by 20%. Researchlabs cost 50% less.
Construction - Construction time reduced by 1 tick. Construtions in gal is 50% harder to kill. Constructions cost 25% less. Production reduced by 1(2?) ticks.
Espionage - Scans an Covert Ops efficiency increased by 20%. Scans and Covert ops research reduced by 20%. Resistance towards Scans and Covertops increased by 20%. Security Centres cost 25% less.
You get the point. Theres alot of possebilities and I think anything we can do to bring back that good old gal spirit will help the game
Stuff like this could also be done for alliances in some way.
Also Id love to see the ministers actually getting more to do. Id especially like to see a galaxy defence fleet which the MoW would control. The MoD would give him amount of resources he could spend on ships. Maybe only 1 ship from each race and class, but could still be a good thing using for tactics. Should probably be 1 fleet spot to begin with, then the gal could pay an amount from the galfund to get a second. Shouldnt be cheap tho
Not knowing wether I am gonna play next round, this would certainly make me want to try
Discuss o_O
