Having a weekly chain mission lead up to finding a bunch of artifacts, or having a serious long mission chain in which have the ability to melt planets together. how awesome would that be? The Artifact ability: could combined two planets of any choice into one. Its a rough draft of an idea but i think it is pretty cool.
There would have to be limitations though such as not being able to combined any mission planets and any planet above the size of very large could not be combined.
As for positives: it would combined the sizes,resources, and add it into one.

There could even be an next heavy duty mission after that that would allow you to combined up to 3 planets of any choice. That would be cool. But the mission would have to be extremely hard.

As i said this is just a rough draft so it would need work upon. So any suggestions would be cool.
Anything non related Please don't post.

cool idea! there have been several spinoff threads that have been similar. pretty much the ideas that have come with manipulating planets have been

Artifact Name
Merges 2 Planets that are not Mission , Already Collided, or Very Large.
Size goes to Very Massive only,Resources can only go up to 15x Mega Rich.
Would be kinda fair

Thats cool! If we could combined ideas of everyone and toy with it for a while until its good.
Hopefully something happens..
