Ok I have two small things I'd like two point out... but I don't think one of them alone warents a post... so here I go....
First of all, if you look at the top of the forum, you can a picture, that is kind of the Icon for sins. It is a Kol with a volcanic planet behind it..... I have a tiny problem with this, as the Kol no longer looks like that. So id the icon going to be changed? or will it be left like that?
...Or will one of the Major missions in the scenario's be where you ahve to protect a brand new Kol Prototype around a volcanic planet? and then later the New Kol comes gets introduced?
My other one is a little more interesting.......given it concerns the Novalith Cannon. The Novalith cannon is defently Vassari, for three reasons:
1. Architecrure: The Novalith Cannon LOOKS Vassari, look at the swoopy things on it.
2. Surrounding Technoligy: If you find the picture of the Novalith and look at it, surounding the novalith are ships and structures such as the Phase Gare, clearly Vassari technoligy.
3. Novalith Technoligy: The T.E.C. can barly send one ship through phase space, only the Vassari have the technoligy to send pure energy through phase space not once, but twice.
That is not the point I am getting too, it is simply a warm-up, think about this. Imagine the Novalith coupled with phase gates, it would be unstopable.
It could be placed in the back of your empire, and shoot through phase gates to get to the frontier of your empire. Then one more jump to the ememy's planet. Unstopable.
Couple it further with the Vassari Supper scout capitol ships ability to make a temporary phase gate.... any planet in a solar system is now in reach of the Novalith.
Now, I want a diffenitive answer from the devs (that probably wont get) You have already discoverd this tact havnt you? That is why you have planitary shields, and that they are approximently the same tech leval as phase gates!!!
Am I just insane, or do these two things actully make sence?
