Mining Vessel:
You don't need mineral storage, since whatever is remote mined goes directly to the empire, just like all production. I'm not sure if the storage ability would even increase your empire-wide storage capacity.

Fuel Station:
I don't believe you can fleet with a sat. And sats already have infinite supplies, just like bases. This would make the fuelstation useless.
If you were to use a fighter hull, with no room for engines, you could get what you want.
Players will have to beware of launching fighters in the same sector, since they will all form a group with zero movement.

If you want supplies to be a critical resource, I would remove all trace of quantum reactor like effects. Give it a solar supply generation ability of 2500, but not infinite.
Also watch out for bases and fighters (when fighters are launched, they max out the supplies of the group they join. Fleeting with fighters can get you infinite supplies over a few turns)

Default Re: Some of my ideas and questions

they are not a critical resource but as i said earlier,between monsters,nomads,pirates,mercs,and gods and the fact that some systems are toataly empty you will need gas stations along the way.


Ships

BOmber:bigger fighter more accurate.

Assualt carrier:a realy big big carrier

Gunship: in between a battlship and battlecruiser,more acurate,and speedier.

Scoutightly smaller then a escort,engine bonus,weapon minus.

Warscout:like above but withut the minus weapon thingie.

probe:10kt,engine bonus.

Marauder:a slightly smaller dreadnough,for pirates.

Blackhole ship:for pirates only,highly expensive they probably only will have one.built in weapon bonuses,blackhile maker,quantem reactor,and

Planetary assualt cruiser:built in cargo bays,and(is this possible i havent checked my windows cpu is down)a planet hit ratio bonus.

Striker:a pirates light cruiser

But using the blackhole maker will kill the ship. (Or is that what you had in mind -a kamikazi ship?)

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Planet sizes

Meteor:a smaller then tiny planet,always no atmosphere

Moonightly bgger then tiny planets

Default Re: Some of my ideas and questions

here is how cloaking should work in v1.0 and will definitly work in v 1.1

Religous and psy scanners detect any ship that has a crew ie no master computer(spirit crew qaurters cant be seen by psys)

regular detect anything using a regular cloaking device.

Temporal detect temporal.

Racial traits:

Quick learners:exp bonus

Tiny speciesmll crew quart and stuff

No atmophere:if you breath no atmophere you dont need life support.

God emporer:the peeps worship you,so they are more productive and,happy.

COmponents

Atomic bLaster retty powerfull,can be lethal at close range.

Atomic MIssle:for use agianst ship,very powerfull,short range,and high in rad cost

Atomic Bomb:Severely,damages,plauges,a planet,but same downside as above.

Atomic reactor:generates supplys in ships,not a qr!

Heart:i alreayd mentioned it but i just wanna say that the heart and lungs generate supplys as well for bugs

Planetary assualt cruiser:built in cargo bays,and(is this possible i havent checked my windows cpu is down)a planet hit ratio bonus.

Planets have a natural -200% defense "bonus", so any ship in the game can hit planets with 99% accuracy no matter what.


No atmophere:if you breath no atmophere you dont need life support.
I don't see how you can detect whether the player has chosen "none" as thier home atmosphere, but even then, ships with zero lifesupport and no MC will be reduced in movement (even if they require zero). You'll have to make a zero-KT lifesupport component.
