THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!! ADMINS!!!! MAKE THIS UPDATE NOW!!!!
It is logic, useful, and will bring some ballance against all the recent updates that so far only had use for the stronger ones...I totally agree with Edweirdo,
we must give something to the weaker ones...the path is just getting smoother for them, while imposible to walk for the recent players or the bullied players. The 2 hours period after taking a planet is already too unfair.
Why wouldn't be MS to be docked....or maybe cloaked...or fased out with a merlin stuff?...it must remain just as a sitting duck to be massed?
DONT YOU REALIZE THAT THIS WAY MAKES ONLY THE STRONGER TO BE ABLE TO HOLD PLANETS?....make them work a little for their planets...the most you have..the harder it should be to mantain it...just like taxes should be. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!

Well...thank you for your opinions!

@ utherrex: I realize you are attempting to steal as many Omegan planets as you can, but Zerathul's right when he says the lack of delay will merely fuel multis. The MS needs to guide the planet back to your system.

Suggestions: Actually, an interesting idea would be the MS being forced to stay with a newly captured planet for 12 hours as it changes systems. Then, when the player who lost the planet attempts to retake the planet, the MS's fight it out in orbit (with defenses helping out if you can build them in under 12 hours).

Also, if the MS is docked, then you can spy its stats. After all, the reason you can't see its stats normally is because it's out flying about.

Tech should cost 100% of bank. That way, people have to save and work for it, but 1 bil seems a little high for most newbs.

Finally, docking names for Tauri and Tollan:
Tauri- Epsilon Underground Docking Bay (Tauri's seem obssessed with Greek letters, so I added one here)
Tollan- Ion Cannon Protected Hanger (Not nearly as cool as the Tauri name, but Tollana was protected by ion turrets for a while, wasn't it?)

Ok...i don't like or want to feed the multies...but surely are other ways of sweeping them without prevent the planet stealing...
I agree that it might be the hardest admin work to chase all multies...and that we should not give them tools to ruin the game...but preventing planets from geting stealed can't be the way.
With the last updates it went high difficult...and now should came a good mothership update that ballance it a little and give these amazing ships some protagonism.....or at least the importance they should have...because now...they are very week for planet stealing.
You threw couple good ideas btw...It is a must anyway for the sake of this game to improve the MS participation in thei game....being able to hit the big ones has a purpose...to keep the game alive!!!

Now that I think about it, if the MS stays with the planet for 12 hours, it should be unable to participate in attacks or the defence of your base. Therefor, the moment it comes back to port you could immediately dock it. Then, you can repair it or what not.

So, then you only have to worry about the other person's MS trying to resteal the planet in route, but because it is trying to catch up, it should only do around 50% total damage.

Also, once a planet is stolen, you can't upgrade your MS for 12 hours (because it's out protecting your new planet and not at home and available for repairs).

These are some good ideas. I like the cost being the bank size, makes it more equal for the newer players. I really like this dock idea.
