Yeah, booby traps would cost a fair bit..

Ummm if you destroy their MS would they sab and mass you? hmmm let me think....
Player A deceides to steal someones planet (their choice, they are being the agressor)
Player A gets their ass blown off in the process...
Player A gets upset because of it....

Why is that any different from Player A attacking someone, and then getting upset because they couldnt get past the defence and got their ass kicked in the process and lose a few thousand supers?

If you stuck your finger in a powerpoint and got zapped, would you then decide to get pissed off with the guy that built your house and got around to his place and kick his dog?

this is definitely a suggestion that has future.
remember, you booby trap your planet and you can't do anything with it then. nor are you getting any benefits (so basically you got a dead planet on your shoulders and no possibility of gettgin a new one)

i'd say it should cost a few (3-5) bil to booby trap it and not more.

No, you wouldnt be angry, you would be stupid...

Ok, lets do a test to prove your theory... On the main game page there is a button called DELETE ACCOUNT Why dont you go push that buton. and go through all the confirmations. After your account is deleted, create a new one and ask if anyone will help you mass someone because they told you to delete your account, even after that same person advised you that deleting your account would delete your account. and yes, warning - pressing that button will delete your account...

Anyway, its all in jest - I see your point. Some people would get annoyed, but I doubt that many people would come to their aid.

So, back on topic.... how much should this cost? the problem is, you dont want to make it so expensive the small players cant afford it... It needs to be around the same cost of a mothership (so if you can afford a mothership, you can afford a bomb) - how about this, It takes 4 bombs to destroy a MS, and you can install 4 on a planet. they each do 25% damage each. (so if someone only has 2, it will only take out half the mothership)
I think that each bomb should cost $450 million (same price as MS) and you need 1 holographic generator for each size incrcease in the planet which also costs $450 million
so to take out a mothership on a very small planet, it would be 5 x $450million 6x for the next size and so on.... hows that?

I like the idea. It would give a chance to some player to actually keep a planet for a while.

But there are big time loser who don't like to get their A** kicked so they form an alliance. I think those are the probleme, if one of them lose his ms then rest of the alliance will mass...

Maybe if when a major event like this occur in a solar system, it could distured hyperspace and make any ms unable to approach since gravitanional shift would be unstable for a few hours. This would mean also that MS couldn't leave the solar system. Two side effects but that would let thing cool down a little....

Everyone says they like the idea, but then wants to water it down... guys... come on...

its like saying, gee, if I attack someone and lose, I lose a lot of men, and get weapon damage. Instead of the men diying, can they just go to hospital and get better and then come back again? And can the weapons have some sort of auto repair system? errr..... NO
