OR ALTERNATIVE IDEA BELOW (replacing the gravity update)
To counter people moaning planets are godlike a simple solution can be made.
*The prices on planet defences and maintanence are just examples.
eg.
planet size: tiny
1 defense = 20mil defense (little planet surface so defense is stronger)
cost per defense = 5mil naq
max defense = 500
planet size: large
1 defense = 10mil defense(more land to defend)
cost per defense = 10mil naq
max defense = 50 000
planet size: monstrous
1 defense = 5mil defense (vast planet surface making defense hard)
cost per defense = 20mil naq
max defense = 1 000 000
Planets should be able to upgrade aswell downgrade at will but at a cost oc.
*One of the key factors in the new idea is to put a maintenance fee on defense facilities and eg. UP facilities, Covert facilities, etc
(1 defense = 10k naq maintenance per turn)
100 defense = 1mil naq maintenance per turn
10 000 defense = 100mil naq maintenance per turn
100 000 defense = 1bil naq maintenance per turn
(1 UP facility = 1k naq per turn to maintain)
100 = 100k naq per turn
10 000 = 10mil naq per turn
100 000 = 100mil naq per turn
So if you have 10 planets each with 100k defense and 100k UP it will cost 11bil naq per turn to maintain them.
And if you don’t have enough naq to maintain them they become non operational until you have enough naq to again maintain them.
*facilities eg. UP production will have priority over defense facilities in terms of maintenance when there is insufficient naq to keep them operational.
*Second key factor is that when someone attacks a planet the defense and facilities are both damaged but not destroyed just like a MS.
(can be repaired just like a mothership)
When a planet is taken the defense and facilities are 30% to 50% damaged (repairable) and 10% to 20% is destroyed (lost in take over).
"War nothing is certain and the future undetermined"
To allow the patch to be implemented (everyone will be placed on ppt) all planets will be shrunk to the smallest size with their defense and facilities removed (a clean planet)
Players will be given all their naq back from the facilities, defense and planet size upgrades.
OR if you really want to go above the call of duty, give people planet upgrade points for the naq they spent on their planets already.(these points are 100% safe and a once off thing)
*This will prevent people from moaning they were away when their naq was stolen.
***I will say this again look at "imperium galactica 2" and "sins of the solar empire" for possible sgw game updates.***
