it could be a planet we can discover or an upgrade from metallic planets

i got the idea from looking at planet cybertron from transformers

Now i like that, +1 becos we need some new looking planets...as these are growing old...new is better..

and what would a robotic planet give?
obviously there wont be any minerals or artifacts to dig up because its made out of robots
research... i think we have enough research planets

artifacts can be robotic
ex: ship bots
and most artifacts in the game are kinda techy.
and i was thinking that this could be an upgrade for metallic planets which do have all the traditional resources in stock.

i ment production
if its made out of robots then there would not be artifacts from previous civilizations because there were none , just like gas planets dont have minerals or artifacts


an upgrade from metallics would be good

lol so did i. sorry if i wasn't clear. but yeah it could be a former home robotic civilization like the transformers, vygoids, zolazin,etc

yeah well planet upgrades arent so hard to make up but new planets are a bit

like a gas could be turned into a red giant , giving it more passive cloak because of interference or into a blue giant giving it more attack of its insane heat

and a volcanic planet into a magma planet , giving it more invasion defense because the ships can only land on a few selected spots that arent magma wich would melt the ship

and there are rifts , maybe a follow up mission to turn a massive aphotic into a black hole , making it mega collosal . and increasing its resources by 25 (max you can make a planet yourself is 20x and you can only make 2 so you could get a 45x mega rich , mega colossal out of a simple planet)



and alot more...

Exhibit A. Phasic Chain Ionizer
Turns a gas planet into a plasma planet, increasing research by 1 and size by 1.


Exhibit B. thermionic Intensifier
Turns a volcanic planet into a Demon planet


Exhibit C.

How would you mine a black for minerals or artifacts?
You could use one for research, but you can't gain anything materialistic out of it, and it is scientifically impossible.

i was throwing random ideas

and it is scientifically possible

You can harness energy from the black hole to run production (minerals could be like the base though asteroid extractors) Artifacts would be kind of impossible I think, research would be great since you would have a lot of stuff to monitor the black hole. You wouldn't be able to cloak it much if it was near a start but then if it wasn't it wouldn't be worth as much.

I read somewhere that black holes release x-rays. and that is one of the dangers of them is if a planet is in the line of the jet of the expulsion it could get taken out.



As for the main idea: Robotic Planet it would be nice to have more planets that players could upgrade themselves instead of the limited mission and other ones that take a long time. As for the Robotic Planet why can't it be a bit like a base in that you bring resources to it for it to work on. Who is to say artifacts can't be found in asteroids? Think of it like a cleaner for the universe, it takes in the junk and puts out some decent stuff. It would be interesting also if different races got bonuses from certain planet types.

black holes would have some big defense and attack bonuses as ships cant come to close wich wil make their weapon fire less effective and if they do come closer to deal more damage they would get some hard backfire of the gravitational pull

Exhibit A. Phasic Chain Ionizer
Turns a gas planet into a plasma planet, increasing research by 1 and size by 2.

As for the main idea, I'd love something that can transform metallics.

thanks epic i'm glad you like the idea

I like any idea that means you can upgrade a metallic simply because my first ever planet makes the perfect project planet .

haha thats good. was thinking that the item that upgrades the planet could be from a mission like the mass surface melters.

got it backwards. +2 research and +1 size


"Phasic Chain-Ionizer
Transforms a gas planet into a Plasma world,
enhancing its size by 1, research by 2, and defense by 300."

The kryon tried to harness energy from the black hole in their storyline. It almost killed their civilization.

Dyson = Robotic looking planet?

dysons are the brothers of the metallic planets

Then idk why they would need more metallic planet upgrade, dyson already does that.
Metallic becomes Dyson, that's one transformation per player. I would suggest to just have more planet artworks add in the game. Atleast 3-4 more?
