Multiple planets stolen in 24 hour period

ok, i was just wondering, why does it penalize us for having multiple planets with the 1 planet per day rule?

I lost 3 planets last night while i was sleeping, and because i had taken a planet that day i'm not able to attack any of them to retake. I think the way the rule stands now is a little bit unfair to people with good planets, and that you should be able to attack every planet taken from you at least once, if you're the original owner.

MIRITE?

not sure if i get your point but: in my opinion we have never been able (beside first weeks of the planet feature) to take more then 1 planets per day.

so regardless to the latest updates, if several ppl attack and take your planets within 1 day you can only take back 1 planet (!) or - if you already used your MS- none.
dont see why the recent updates have changed something here, so it would rather be an suggestion to allow "multiple retaking actions".

and i dont think this would be an good idea, quite useless to be honest. there is only one way to keep your planets anyway. dont mess with the highest fleets-count players and/or build up heavy def on em!

Okay, no clue about your suggestion but going off the title of the thread I will say the following:

Your MS can only move one planet at a time and has to focus on that while doing it.

I think it would be cool if you could build a MS for each planet and they could also attack planets and such but that is another thing all together, lol.

i think what he is saying is this

he had 3 planets stolen at once (and he cant attack them all back in the 24 hour period they are in limbo)

he feels that if he has multiple planets stolen by mulitple people, he should be able to respond to each of those threats and stolen planets regardless if he has stolen his 1 planet for the day or not ....but even if he hadnt he is saying that in that situation he could only respond to one of the planet stealers and he wants to be able to respond to them all at once during that 24 hour limbo

i am not really giving my opinon, but i think this is what he is saying.....

As far as I know, you can already strike back against any planet that is stolen from you. Problem likely is that your mothership was already out before your planets were stolen. It's just clever timing on the planet thieves part. This just means that in order for you to be able to reclaim planets, you need to keep your mothership on standby. If you choose to send it out, you risk losing the chance to reclaim your planets if they happen to get stolen that day.

i never read that the 1 planey per day rule was taken away

and it brings up a good debate

how could your mothership tow back 10 planets from oppisite ends of the galaxy all at the same time, if one cunning group of people stole them all at the same time

well then, what if your ms hasnt been sent out, and it is a time limit, say 30 minutes from planet thefts to send your ms to beat down their mses and abort the orbit shift?

Forum wrote:ok - the one planet per 24hours ONLY applies to planets in stable orbit... ie - you can attack as many of 'your own' planets as you fee like....
this should address the 'take more than one planet at once' scenario...


That's where I got that. Anyway, now you're concerned about realism? We've got spies that are better hidden when their numbers are greater. We've got friggin spaceships tugging planets accross the galaxy. We've got all matter of nonsense going on. If they can tug 1 planet, they can bloody well tug them all. :-D

currently if a group of people stole all your planets u can only respond to 1 of them on taking it back from what i understand

yup its a bug that needs adressing...

while Forum's at it he should stop the ability for people to abandon planets while its in transit too :)

I think taking only 1planet per day is spot on, however, I think retaking your planet while it is traveling to another persons realm should be unlimited, to truly stop thievs.
