hello together, because I had an idea that game to make...Write Reply
hello together,

because I had an idea that game to make things even more interesting. Unfortunately I have no idea how to program it and embed into planets.nu.

my idea is:
an additional menu for espionage or diplomacy. it is intended to obtain information which is obtainable by the individual players are not be shared or. we commissioned an external consultant to obtain the information.

interesting missions would, for example,
1) armament of ships of a certain race.
2) Locations of the respective Fleet - Battle ships / freighters.
3) the starting point of every race
4) planet with Natives
5) etc. ...

with continued playing time there is plenty of money for each player. the missions can be bought. the cost I would 15000 - set mc, it should just be something special 20000.

I would like your opinion to it and if it is more interesting suggestions.

1. why you may need that? torpedos and fighters are main weapon and you can simply simulate the outcome.
2. this can already be seen unless fleet is on the planets.
3. use sensor sweep and brains - it is easy to get that from usual data. plus after 20 turns it is not really important
4. bioscanner. get one from fed, colonies or robots.

in the begginng of the game such amount of money (equal to 150 fighters) will simply kill your development. In the end of the game it is not needed at all.

because I had also thought of the possibility to buy enemy ships. a large combat ship that suddenly belongs to someone else, the game does make more interesting.

if anyone knows civ4, there is also the opportunity to gather more information, thanks to bonus points for espionage.

I had been thinking about the possibility to gather information without having to ask other players, without Share intelligence and so on. from 20 defense post is obtained and so only limited information.

You have a clone mission to buy enemy ships :)
If you will make the shiplist of other races available you will completely loose balance. Just imagine lizard stocked up with gorbies - he can buy or even clone them with less problem than Evil Empire have building them. And what will be the reason to play Evil Empire than?
The intelligence here is not of much need - sensor sweep, dark sense and bioscan gives you basic info about planets, watching for others ships gives you idea of their whereabouts. Than just go ahead and attack if you are stronger or defend if you are weaker.

a ship clone can, you have to have at least one, and the limit may not be reached. if you can spend a bunch of mc in the later game running now, to buy a Gorbie or can bring to the crew crowded, it makes the game more interesting and unpredictable yet.

with enough defense post, you see only Which race the planet own. you see nothing about the fleet, cloak ships or someone else.

my idea is to be able to buy the necessary information, without contact with other players to take. if you want to plan a war, you get everything you need here.

if you can get all the necessary information so easy, why do the states of this world then secret services. shout it out in to Merkel, Obama or Putin and ask them where they have set up your troops and in what strength, and with what equipment.

We already have races with special information gathering skills (secret services).

Some races have cloakers to spy.
Some races have HYP ships to look around.
Some Races have bio scanners to find natives.
Some races have nebula scanners.
Empire has Dark Sense and Dark Detection.
Some races have Lokis.
Birds have Superspy and Diplomatic spies.

There are also other ways clever races can gather more information.

If you can purchase these skills, many races are crippled.

For example, spying on an enemy fleet is a great help to cloakers. If you can just pay money to do this, the cloakers lose an important ability and are weakened. You would need to give all the cloakers Gorbies to balance things out.

And, you would need to reduce the games to 10 players leaving the Birds out of all games. The Bird Secret Service is what makes them viable.

Because different races have different language and currency :)
they are not selling for US Dollars. You suggestion will ruin the game as a race shiplist corresponds its abilities. stong ships come with some disadvantages.
