Question of planets

[Midnight]

I sent my mothership out, and it returned with a planet with a significant covert bonus on it. Now the bonus remained the same for a period of about 5 turns (roughly, not 100% sure), and then I crashed for the night.

When I got up this morning I noticed that I had lost nearly 1/4 of the total bonus of the planet.

What I would like to know if possible, is if this is a natural part of the mothership claiming of the planet, or if it needs to be classed as a bug (hence why I have posted here first.)

by you sent the mothership out do u mean planet finding or you actaully stole it? if u stole it then it should decrease by about 25% but that wont happen until u build something on it or the turn changes. im not sure about if you send it out because...i never found one.

Was it the power level of the planet that fell or was it the power it added to your covert?

[Midnight]

The planets bonus went from 17bil down to 12.8bil.

Just remember this was a discovered planet not a stolen one.

I've seen the same thing many times, though I'm not sure what causes it, you're not alone.

It could have been a delayed reaction to it being massed prior to it be dropped. It could also be that when you first received it the bonus was greater then the 1/2 allowed per planet based on your actual stat.

Not sure though but as Xeno stated it does happen frequently so you're not alone.

this seems like a bug by the sound of it

Yeah, being a covert planet it was well within the bonus allowable by my stats.I can't imagine that the carry over of it being massed would be such an effect.


However, perhaps I was thinking that some of these "particular" situations come about because it applies to any planet that arrives at your location. I have noticed it before, and will likely notice it again, so perhaps regardless of how you gain a planet (with the exception of market made) all planets that come into your realm suffer the damage to it's facilities.

[chargin]

that's pretty reasonable i suppose...stops u from passing planets...
