Well, we got plenty a planet now, great job! Going to use your mod in my mod. What about any future uncolonizable planets? Like better plasma storms or electrical storms?

Uzzi, i like the old naval base idea, will it have some hefty defense forces?

Awesome cant wait for those new planets. I def like the ideas of a paradise and toxic planets. Just my opinion but i would keep it the way it is now with a chance of getting some bounuses even if you have the chance to get the same one twice.Keep up the great work

Uzii:

I've successfully installed your Mod and have played 2 medium random games with your mod enabled. Some of the features have been present - colonizable gas giants, additional research options - but none of the new planet types have appeared. Not once. In 40 planets.

I'll create a few more random maps and crank out a ton of scout ships just to see, but is there any reason why this might be happening?

Thanks for all of your hard work, to say nothing of the support you have provided for the community for your mod.

What about some bonus that inproves your ships HP and weapons? You could only have it on your homeworld or something,would mean that the homeworld is harder to take over then any other world! As it should be as your homeworld would be more important then some backwater planet lol. But at moment there just as easy to defend(if there both terran that is).Just a suggestion! Great mod Uzii!!!!  

yeah you might want to remove the "sins plus" that is added to the main menu whether you are running the mod or not. had to reinstall to remove that....

Uzzi, i didnt see it. Can you post the list of possible planetary bonuses? I would like to give some feedback on additional ones.

Thanks

Yes, there's too many to name, I can post all the their file names, but some of them are not very 'readable'.

I can't increase Artifact Bonuses at present, nor should I in the future. If anything, I would make them better, but decrease their chance. However, this is all in the .Galaxy files, and so different for each map.

Conquered Natives, interesting, but why free them, when they would already be slaves to the superior race on the planet, and so be covered by the 'Slaves' Bonus.

Rebel Forces, now, I like this one. I am going to add two bonuses in 1.2 that are similar, but one is a positive, the other a negative. This would be a nice thing to use alongside the Planetary Insurgency at the moment, as they are a negative effect, but your idea could be the positive of the same bonus. I'll keep it in mind, thank you.

All can be included I think, but finding out how to and incorporating them successfully would be worthy of a mod in itself.

All Galaxy Wide things would take some time to investigate. The only thing I can think of, would be to have a look in the Artifact files and see what makes abilities global. Even then though, it would be very difficult to get working.

I'm not sure either on how to include random events. Scripting I assume, but I wouldn't know where to start.

Abandoned depots is a good idea, and might make it into 1.3, depending on how hard they are to incorporate. I have something similar lined up, so it may make your idea slightly easier for me.

Much as I like the random ship loss idea, I think its just one step too far. Money and Resources can be easily replaced, but if a Capital ship, or a scout went down, it could really effect the game. Also, I won't know where to start on this either, events are a bit out of my league at present.

A good idea and one that has also crossed my mind. Making it possible and incorporating it could take some work, but once 1.2 is out, I will investigate.

Thanks for the input

Hmm, how about allowing Wormholes to have a new object built arround them that can shut the wormhole down (based on autocast, so it woudl be reversable)? This would be an expensive, high tier structure (cheaper and earlier for Vasari).

I was going to suggest Laboratories also, if there could be a multiplier for the number of labs arround certain types. It would be neat if a Wormhole orbiting laboratory offered science bonuses.

Perhaps also replace Green Stars (which don't exist in reality) with Brown Dwarfs- sort of super Jupiters with very little fusion going on, but probably with lots of moons and harvestable resources- once your tech is high enough.

It would be interesting to be able to build tactical bases arround standard stars also. So long as the technology to do so were very expensive.

Something that would be REALLY cool would be a planet or site that had phase lanes that changed randomly. Don't know how possible this is currently, it could really make strategy interesting near one.

In addition, planets that had faster or slower phase lanes could make some routes better than others for both trade and for war.

A Corporate Planet, this would be a planet that is entirely owned by a corporation. It would have a low population total (the corporate population is separate from your empires administrative population), but a very high income and trade multiplier, and high Logistic, but very low tactical numbers (War is bad for business.) in addition it would have a cultural penalty (these guys don't care whose empire they're a part of really) It would look similiar to an Urban or Industrial planet). Finally Trade Ports would be cheaper and faster to build arround these planets.

Would it be possible to have the Naval Base to give Capital Ships built arround it an experience bonus, but a time penalty for construction? If the bonus were enough, but the time penalty signifigant, it might encourage some players to build multiple Capital shipyards arround naval bases...

For the Industrial Planet, perhaps have Antimatter researves in ships and structures about the planet double their refill speed? (Allied only of course)

Enemy of my Enemy- This would be a planetary condition, if you captured this planet, the diplomatic disposition of one of the other races would gain 100 as you eliminate an ancient enemy of that race. This would be a one time setting.

Ancient Monolith-A free superweapon appears about this planet after capture, it costs nothing, and could possibly be split into three conditions, one for each races superweapon.

Young Empire-This planet immediately rebels and forms a new, expansive empire (spawns a new Pirate base)

Tried to look through all 200 or so comments for some info on how i would go about using these new planets in forge. If possible could you explain how to do that, I already know about editing galaxy files in notepad,would I have to add these planets to a map after I use forge?
