Useless Item Feature And Adding back Time speedups (for Probes)
Overclocking is completely useless as using it past terraforming is just not worth it at all. not much to say after that
time speeds up would be a great addition to add again mostly because of probe times being 56 days. instead of calling them time speed ups it should be Probe Drive Fuel so that it can go faster maybe like 1 or 2 hours, the cost should be expensive as it would be a late game item. Probe Drive Fuel should not appear on the shop menu until late game as it would cramp up the already tight shop menu.
I wanted to follow up on the whole people thing as i like the idea and what to talk a little more about and explain more of it.
(for helixteus "lore") The helix's should be a universal enemy in all universes the reason there lost ships is that the "people" on the ship died from helix's, the people on the planets are "before interplanetary" so that's why they are not getting attacked by the helix's
(for the actual idea lol) Like i said with the people thing with city lights. there should be 3 stages of lights
1. Primitive (Dim)
2. Industrial (Brighter)
3. Future (Brightest(Possibility to see but should be extremely low chance to find due to helix's destroying planets with space age technology))
This idea should only be cosmetic and for exploration purpose and should not effect gameplay due to actual planets having people and then destroying it lowering Ur reputation and a bunch of other mechanics.
i think another planet design would be a bombarded planet, basically a planet with a bunch of craters on its surface making the exploration a little more realistic as that planet might of have had space tech on it but has been destroyed.
bombarded planets, and planets with life should work like this, number x universe age = lower chance of finding planets with people, higher chance for planets with a mix of industrial and future, higher chance for bombarded planets.
i think this is a great idea (even tho what I'm saying right now is purely cosmetic) and in the future it can be used as game function to add people, reputation, and maybe even factions.
We have mega-structures and giga-structures but what about cluster-structures? it feels tiring to go into a cluster and conquer the entire cluster especially for there to be 1000+ galaxies.
now it wouldn't be necessary to "progress" but, it would be beneficial when your trying to get more DR points for the next dimension.
It should be expensive and the cost and production should vary by Galaxy, and Ferromagnetic Material, dark matter should increase production (i don't know how you would implement systems and planets tho)
The look for it should be just the giga-structure there's not much to say about it as a giant sphere or dome around it wouldn't make sense (Scientifically)
Cluster killers should be a thing but it should warn the player before doing it because u can do a galaxy and it would be fine but losing a cluster and u lose 1000 galaxy's+ (for those have stuff that's saved in there they don't want to destroy)
Found A Bug When Searching for clusters if u press the send all button repeatedly (if u have no probes) it goes into the "negatives" and sends phantom probes. (it still uses plutonium so its not crazy broken)
Habitable Planets Should Exist in the next update as it would add to the exploration and be more enticing to find one.
They should only appear if they have earth-like conditions and are in safe pressure and temperature zone
u should also make it that its not guaranteed to find a earth-like planet based on the above more like a 50/50 (its on you) and that the earth-like planet is either fully vegetated, half vegetated, or very little vegetation (kinda like if it was starting to grow vegetation on the planet or it was already finished)
Kinda of a side thing would be cool to see is city lights on a very rare occasion when zooming into or shift-clicking on a planet to see people living there it would make the game more "alive" because were the only one zooming around in 4 ships blowing up green, red, blue blobs
(oh and before i end this off when u shift-click it should open a little "interplanetary system" in which you can find moons and whatever you can think, also adding moons would add a bit more to gas giants as there entire purpose is just existing to be gold mined :'( if u want some crazy ideas about moons or something i can talk about it)
Atom manipulation is overpowered. game gets boring too fast at the end game with entering Universes. nothing to do with galaxy's feels more like a click and enter.
things i think would personally improve the game.
fixing atom manipulation and making it a mid game item (i still like how it is now its just too overpowered). end game is too boring with the last basic thing to do is to grow and grow which is not bad its just when you do it enough it gets repetitive. add more buildings and options like atom manipulator galaxy (personally game breaker but none the less awesome). exploration is good but becomes really annoying (if your on browser especially) with the lag when opening a 11k stars galaxy (which is understandable for the lag). research panel is to bland and to easy i can zoom pass all research. that's basically the basics of what in my opinion should be changed.
great game just needs fine tuning. hit me up if you want some cool ideas for the game.
(EDIT): add a way to change the entire cluster into a specific task such as with galaxy's.
I don't know actually. this game is unique with its own sense of style and balance even tho its a very slow updating game it still brings charm to its self by showing how and what i space game can be if done right.
i have been off and on 3~ years and for a very long time this is one the Top 5 best space games (in my opinion) to exist today. if it wasn't for the creator and sole developer making this game (same person) then this game wouldn't exist.
To start off this all my opinion don't take it to heart. I love space exploration, the mining, and the fighting in this game!
the things i don't like is the lack of progression, space tech.
but for a sole person making this game out-ways tho bads and makes this game something that can be much more then this now.
SO i love this game (even if i cant get my downloads working haha) its a fun unique game that has a LOT of potential to be more keep going bro.
