this won't go done too well but here it goes

in the game planets can only add upto 50% of your raw stats (each)
so why is it a 500 bil def planet will only add to your def what it is?

what im saying is why can planets have platforms on them and have 0 def them
surly it would make sense a planet must first have a natural defence fr a plat form to add to it (plats being like planets to account)

im not suggesting you need 50% you could only need 30% and all 3 plats could be added to it giving 330 bil def from a raw def of 30 bil


i know this might not go down too well but think about it, it makes no sence why an attribute planet can only add a limited % where as a plat can give infinate

But why should it? It's a separate entity that is even engaged before planet defences. Yet planet attributes are limited, since they add power at the same time, and are not engaged separate.

If we assume a stargate universe (game based on it and all) then simple. If that 2T comes from planets, then planets are obviously NOT going to be placed on the home world are they? So they'd provide defence against incoming space attacks. What is to stop people coming through the stargate (remember, you have NOTHING trained, so nothing is stopping them) take what they want from your world, and retreat back vis the stargate, without alerting your planets to their presence

see now your getting the point

there is no def on a planet therefore nothing to defend it. and nothing to use the platform so it will be un-manned

you say space attack well my planets should still add to that then killing the first 2 trill of your strike

But that IS the point. You say there's no defence on the planet, but who says there's a stargaze there as well? And that being in a local system, you don't just fly there and back. Thus the only stargate in the system, is on the home world.

where ever a stargate is it takes the exact same time to pass trough it

nothing on you planets absolute no defences why have it so you can add to the defence when theres no defence to be added to

1 million % of 0 is 0


my point is (in this arguement) that

a platform is like a planet to your home world
planets can on add to your homeworld if somthing there exists
plats at this moment ignore that and add anyway
planets can't add to somthing thats not there so neither should a plat

That is not correct. You can have a 50B naq planet, and have 0 miners or UU and STILL get 50B/day.

I would have to agree with what Sarevok said earlier.
It's a separate entity that is even engaged before planet defences.

A platform is not tied to nor controlled by the planet it protects. A platform also doesnt att/def/do any damage at all to ground troops. It only works against attacks that are against a planet itself, and these attacks do not come on a ground level from a stargate, they come from a MS outside its atmosphere, thus the platform works even with no ground forces.
