There's a difference in the size shown for chassis in the Trade/artifact list and in the planet menu / use artifact.

or maybe it's just me

Which one(s)?

I have a #&$# ton of em and I don't see a difference in any of em O_o

crack kills

it also maims

Did I mention that I hated Chassis?

I could make them 0 space and you'd still hate them, lol.

nuh-uh

Psht free points! I could make an insane planet with 20 chassis on it.

lol i try to get some chassis.. i mean usually after building there's leftover space.. so why not put a research/+20 cloaking gchassis on there to fill it.. 2 jobs done

Ooooh zero space would certainly make them worth finding... Would have to be limited though to keep them from being abused. Zero space, but only 1 of each type per planet? Or cap them at 1 per size level of a planet.

I usually have enough room to do 4 Research building that take up 11 space and then 3 or 4 defense buildings. The few extra space that i do have won't be extra when I research the next building size

Persoanlly i think that the chassis as thy are now are fine, the main problem is is finding a planet where its legitimately useful to use them on AKA terras and exotics, but then you have to ask yourself "Should i go all research and get X10Mega? or get X3 and X2 Mega minerals/artifact?" Now until you get +5s on your planets (which most people dont have) chassis are more space efficient but they are lacking for when you have to choose between super awesome specialization and pretty good non specialization. Now if theyre were some more space efficient +2 chassis id feel more inclined to go for spreading the wealth out.

Also if you compare planets with full chassis to 3 specialized planets with full researched buildings the difference is huge. Thats why I've always thought chassis would make a good noob thing but I would rather specialize because you gain more

Exactly, chassis are incredible at low ranks but once you get higher up there just not that nice, now if theyre were to be better chassis that scaled with regular planetary modules (we srsly need a nickname for these things) chassis would also be awsome for higher ranked players.

I guess what I hate about Chassis is the fact that they take up artifact spots. So artifacts that were truly meant to be rare are no longer really findable. Traps/Chassis etc. that were added bog up rare artifacts so instead of finding one or two terraformers a week now I find Chassis, Chassis, Chassis, Subspace Seeker, Chassis, Chassis, HOLY CRAP A ENERGY CUBE AFTER A WEEK, Chassis Chassis. and probes.

I no longer focus on artifacts because after the artifact nerf the minimal boosts do help but I was really after the rare stuff that I would get a few times a week.

Any of them show 1 size less in my Trade menu artifact list than in the "use artifact" menu from any planet colonized /conquered.

for instance a space elevator is size 3 in my trade list ... Size 4 when I want to install on a planet.


Edit: Actually now I see them all at 3 / 4 size ... Btw I think they are pretty cool, I usually use them to feel the gaps, I always use some high tech building for specialisation + some defense / cloack whatever and there's usually a few points remaining that I use with chassis
