About planet 1-0:
1.It bugged a lot, because not everyone can reach it and perform tests, new and raw content and so on.
2.Idea described here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33463014 is good, but not included some features and possibilites.
2.1 How to manage players, who stay landed and grab loot? Planet's owners can evict ships from planet. If 1-0 "Have own mind" which ship to constract, it could evict ships until def.grid reached some point... 500/1000(?) At least some protection from unleashed robery
2.2 You can (?) set order in which modules appears? Something like:
2.2.1 Biodome + Wharf (start building Dday),
2.2.2 In next 6h - Refinery and Factories (Dday ready at 30%?),
2.2.3 Then Defense Grid (maybe Shields too), few Warehouse modules with some 'reward' appears at 30-50% (?) and at this point ships could be evicted (Dday is ready for 50-60%?), of course other modules rise up,
2.2.4 Defence Grid (and Shields (?)) at 100%, all modules built, Dday construction almost finished, warehouse contain lots of good goods (not those 40nm pcb! last time), I mean at least 1/3 components (armor, distributors, emmiters, gems) 1/3 circuits (CPUs and MBs) 1/3 platings any kind or somewhere could appear equipment/ammo, imagine yourself.
Idea of "Danger from outer space" is good when it is not so bugged. At least I want some compensation for evereone who took part in this, already known failed operation. Any way, it works in right way, enemies united against greater enemy
About Mauler:
It is useless, at all. It expencive to buy, to upgrade and did dramaticaly fleet overhead. I think those who came with maulers to 1-0 agree with me.
What is Mauler? Ship, which can have 4 another ships docked. And what? Mauler it is not ship for fighting, it just carrier for others, very expensive carrier. It useful only for evading skill gaining.. after upgrades
Orbital Cannon is almost useless because it disruption for ~5-10 minutes, Mass Driver work only once on planet and could be shotdown by everyone. (bug? last time I throw asteroid toward pirate in orange system and became criminal!)
Well, maybe it is make sence upgrade Mauler's cargo to get some loot at least? of course for greateater cost, as usual.
Maulers not useful anymore at this speed zoom.
But at this energy consumption and equipment cooldown, game should act as common, speed zoom should devide in half nowadays stances.
About Ubik:
Did it applied? Did someone of developers or moderators got it? It is cool that zaiusz found roots of it, I'm still reading, understand 2/3 or less words, but can figure out what is going on
Very interesting, Thank you zaiusz!
Two Admirals lured and killed, but no Ubik. Someone got it in your, developer's. team?
