this idea just came into my head i do not no if it has been posted before but maybe a new planet could be made to store (well my idea was naq) but maybe also uu's there would be a set limit to the amount you could hold on each planet e.g level 1 holds 10 bill naq and 10k uu's and the next level cost lets say 20 bill to upgrade to and its holds 20bill naq and 20k uu's so on and so forth but the catch is these are not just extra banks etc the only way you can get the resources onto the planet is by sending ur mothership on a mission to that planet with the resources on board taking lets say 1 hour to get there 1 hour to unload and refuel and another hour to return back with or without resources or even have it so the ammount of cargo onboard the ms affect the time taken to travel well just an idea please post what you think = ]

nice constructive reply there deathguard...

i'm against the idea just because i think it isn't worth it and you already have a bank, i seen not much point in it

I think the idea has potential, but as repli has stated, we already have a bank and introducing multiple banks can be a little much.

I think the idea would be great though, cause if you steal the planet you would get the resources on it :-D But i dont like the idea of using the mothership to transfer the resources, it would be a logistical nightmare!

Overall, I would like to see this implemented, as if people were storing resources on planets it would encourage more planet thefts and therefore more wars would happen... which i would like to see 8)

It'd lead to the same imbalance as seen in assencion when trained UUs were raidable.


Don't we want to have more updates that make people whine?

i get what your saying but surely if u didnt want to risk loosing the resources on the planet you would just build up a good deffence on it before storing any resources on it or even i no this idea is a lil bit more extreme but maybe instead of just stealing the planet you could attack or raid it using your ms so u dont get all the uu's or naq on the planet by just stealing it

as a player i ask

Why would i store uu on planets rather then in as my miners (not like many mind the 10% loss)

and 2 why would i use a ms to transport it. WE HAVE STARGATES

I like the idea for storeing NAQ on it and have to agree UU would be pointless since there are miner's (and for thoughs who don't want to use miners there are anti's) only use I could see in storeing UU's would be anouther transport method (player A puts 100K uu on planet player B steals planet unloads planet player A takes planet back)

as for the transport system, I think it would add a nice extera feature for MS's (and posibly if done a new thing on MS's to upgrade cargo bays :D ) also I think since the planets are all in the same solar system the "we have a stargate" would be pushing the use of stargates a bit (since I don't think it is posible to operate 2 stargates in the same solar system) :D

I know I would go hunting for a storage planet for my solar system if they are put in to play :D

You guys are right...
Except that apparantly, according the the game, we're all playing in our own galaxies, not solar systems (which I always thought was a little silly).
So yes, stargates are fine.
