interactive planets

[smoky vigil]

Walt said that he will never add bubble shields and planets, so it will be compliated. Though the idea of interacting with a planet similar to a station without actually enter into it would be instersting

Maybe, stations should be placed near the background graphic of planets, and the name of the station could reflect the planet, such as Station of Planet Pandora, of Planet Earth, etc, but realistically speaking they are just stations, "orbiting" the planet

True but i think it would be possible to manage them from orbit with a controllroom or a menu so you dont have to enter the planet

And for the taking over part you dont actually have to sent troops you could just bomb them from orbit

I didnt ment bases orbiting the planet I ment that you could build them on the ground where they can mine some recources for you that you could collect next time you fly by

I know what you mean, but walt doesn't want planets

[obsidian dew]

Maybe an orbital laser drill would be better?

[tepid owl]

I just dont understand why
You dont even have to enter atmosphere

[tepid owl]

This is a good idea

Though I don't think Walt has said a hard no to things like planet interactions, it's very unlikely, kinda steps away from the whole point of the game being building and commanding a spaceship, besides trading with planets makes no sense as the trade is physical, meaning crew actually have to pick up and drop off the respurses so stations are the only way too trade

As for the player owning things, it would make more sense to own stations the planets anyways, aside from what I said above about respurses being physical, it would be a lot more interesting to have to build your own minning ships and cargo ships and send them out to do missions, this could then also involve you in the way of doing escor missions for your own fleet or maybe they get attacked by pirates and you need to rescue them, maybe your station gets attacked and you need to defend it ect

Landing on planets and trading with planets are two very diffrent things

[smoky vigil]

Are you going to add landing on planets ? İ mean , not landing for real . when we are over a planet a button saying "land" can pop up and when we press it , a tab can open up whic says "start mining , shop , diplomacy " etc

Ah lol
