Legate

What I'm thinking of when I look at this is some planets having a hostile atmosphere to them, like full of either C02 or methane. and on a clean planet, any WMD will have an area of contamination where if you don't have certain protection, you get damaged in some way when entering the contaminated area.

Give that idea to Steven, he drove off to a sun to research it. Still haven't heard from him. Thought I sent one of you to find the poor guy.

You 2 are in the same faction xD

I'm not too sure about asking this or which subforum it might fit under, but I have to ask. Will there be a version of this for Steam? Some of us wish not to leave our comfort zone. I'm a bit concerned about leaving my safe place. Please, I'm scared to ask.

I assume it will be a Global Amazon. It would put use to their drones to ship from planet to planet. A small delay while your package is being delivered.

A high amount of effort went into this and it seems to be a great option!

I'd love to hear your ship making noises as you pilot it through the void, but thought I heard Dan screaming out in space for a second. Maybe was just the airlock or something...

Well, last time I checked. Steven went to see if the sun was achievable, didn't hear from him for over 4 months. Can someone check on him?

I meant the original

Thought of that and Independence Day when making this.

Hello, Legate here. I've been thinking of an idea for miners or invaders. A giant mining laser meant to mine from surface to bottom. It will consume a ton of power for the Planet Cracker to work. A grand amount of resources to craft this laser. Since there is seemingly infinite planets, there will always be a planet to mine. Things I can see is with at least 6 Planet Cracker Lasers, it will be able to cause a planet to rupture and collapse in on itself, basically deleting the planet from records. The only places where these Planet Crackers can be used to start the collapsing process is on BARON planets. As in no players, Ark-ships, or civilizations. To prevent complete civilization annihilation (that rhymed). When the Planet Collapse is activated, a signal is sent to everyone on the planet warning them that it has been activated. This will continue charging even if you start a city or an Arkship lands during the charging phase. The Planet Cracker will take up to 30 mintues to 1 hour to charge, +10 minutes for each other laser. So for the Planetary Collapse to make a planet turn inside out it would be: (30 + 6 x 10 = 90 minutes, or 1 hour and 30 minutes until Planetary Collapse). It can be charged while you are away from your ship, but can only be activated from the ship where the lasers are on. Once activated, a 2:30 minute count down will begin, sending a distress signal to all players on the planet to leave. If they don't leave, the concussive wave of the Planet Crackers when it his the Inner Core of a planet will cause a bodily shutdown to the player and an atmospheric deterioration, killing the player if they are not exitted the planet's atmosphere. When the laser is activated, it will carve out a big hole in the affected area. The minerals within the affected area will be exposed and will fall to the bottom. When the process is complete, the ship will have a power surge, stopping all processes for 2 minutes (+2 minutes per laser). Once the process is complete, the lasers will need to be repaired due to the amount of energy they consumed and the heat damage afflicted to them. The lasers themselves are quite durable, mostly to keep the energy from being released and causing the ship to melt down. The lasers themselves won't completely break, but they can be rendered unusable when a set amount of damage is taken. If reached to this state, the only way to repair it is to salvage it and make a new one (You will get the majority of the components, but not all of them.). If the Planet Cracker is charging, the lower the health is. Allowing players to stop either a Planet Cracker or a Planetary Collapse. This idea seems extremely far fetched, just felt like throwing it out there. -Legate P.S. I'm hungry, someone bring me some chips over by Alpha Centauri please.

Space whales! That should be a thing...

Since I plan to revolve my job around this system, I like it.

"Side Jobs: Miner, Bank Manager, Legate, even more stuff" -MasteredRed First off, found my name. I would probably be a bounty/pirate hunter (if there are bounties), a researcher, possibly just a guy who builds stations around the universe. or an explorer

I have to agree here, players can probably research their way through with tech. Upgrading to better items.

Hello, most people usually refer to my as Legate. I've always been one for space sims that involve building to this level. I thought it would be nice to introduce myself so I get a feel for this forum. Usually, I try to stay away from forums, but for some reason I'm getting good signs from this game that it will be awesome. This, however, comes with a bunch of questions. Will there be a life time subscription? I'm not too eager to pay monthy to play this game (which I'm honestly hyped for). I know that I can earn enough in-game currency to get more time, but sometimes I might take a break and lose my progress. Will Arkships be randomly scattered, 1 on each planet, or one on the player's orders? Are there going to be a limit on how many ships you can have? I tend to get carried away with creations. What kind of weapons will be there for us. I get carried away with this too, got to protect myself with at least 30 pulse turrets. Will we need to worry about food, water, and that stuff. Discounting oxygen because thats a necessary for ANY travel. Unlexx you're a Martian, then you can go around in a baron planet without worrying about the third factor. Hope that I get answers and get to meet you all -Legate
