could you please implement some sort of planet hostility rating for planets that belong to those who are NOT on your friends list, but have X amount of friends in common.

0x =hostile
1x = neutral
2x = non hostile
3x(or more) = Allied

im assuming there are markers on friendly planets like the shield on owned planets? if not please add.

Good idea. I know players would be interested in knowing whether a shared planet was a "ally of an ally" which can sometimes appear hostile in that sense. If they knew for sure that the planet belonged to someone far removed from someone's loyalty, they would be more inclined to take it over.

I'll put this to more thought on a good solution.

Wow, excellent point.

In fact just 5 minutes ago I got an alert to attack an ally's planet that I'm currently guarding. (Sorry Kenneth, can't help you!)

WOAH! O.O

ya this would be awsome.

OH! LOL! that terra planet was meant to be given away lmao. xD

when i posted this originally, this preceded the planet messaging system. all i knew was that a planet was shared and there was a hostile on it. the planet was really nice and I WANTED IT. i ended up attacking it (unsuccessfully -- weakened to 10hp but kept failing invade). turns out this planet belonged to a friend of a friend. when i eventually checked my friends list i saw that the current owner was the GF of the sender. boy would he have been pissed if i took that!

BUMP #2

legion drama! a friend of a friend had a very nice terra shared with message reserved do not colonize, but the player mistakenly found it in their planets list and invade/ fuxxed the planet AFTER the rightful recipient already colonized + invested millions in structures. the attacker was killed and im assuming hacked. what a mess.

we also need special markers to identify the shared planets with symbols that match the message sent with the scan.
