Hey, its me again! I bet you're already getting tired of me and my cheesy mission ideas. Here is another one.
So, as you all know, the BioShip mission chain will be over soon. The chain was good, but it didn't really have anything that made you absolutely need to complete it's individual missions. Also, it's been a while since a new planet type has been added. Thus are my motives for writing this.

The Solaris Saga (part 1) Solaris Discovery.
*Mysterious representative*
"I am sorry to approach you under such circumstances, (insert race name here), but this required the utmost secrecy."
"I represent an... organization that is very keen on researching and cataloging information. Recently, a very unusual energy signature was detected near the center of the Galaxy. Long range scanners indicate large machines that appear to be of Drannik origin scattered around a rather unusual solar system. Due to the obvious risk posed by anything Drannik related, we thought it wise to enlist the service of one as powerful as yourself to investigate. Search the solar system and report back anything unusual that you discover."


Per Round Requirements: Energy 50
Per Round Rewards: 110 exp
Per Completion Rewards: Location of Solaris Planet. (Size: very large-very massive. Research: rich-ultra rich. Mining: none-average. Artifact:none-average.)
50 rounds/completion.
5 completions/finish

Part 2. Solaris Investigation
*Mysterious representative*
"Incredible, the original Drannik were actually trying to create suns out of gas planets! They must have used these machines to increase the size of the core, giving the planet enough mass to create sustained nuclear fusion. The possibilities of this discovery are nearly limitless."
"If you would be so kind, please analyze the machines used to transport the material and report any further findings to us immediately."
Requirements: Energy 45
Per round rewards: 105 exp
Completion Rewards: Drannik Matter creator. (Planet artifact. Cost in energy to use: 200. Effect: Transforms a gas/plasma planet into a Solaris planet. All resources +2, defense + 1000)
30 rounds/completion
3 completions/finish

Part 3. The Terran Moons
*Ship Engineer* "Captain?"
*You* Yes?
*Ship Engineer* "Our scan sweeps of the solar system report several planet-sized objects orbiting the planet. They are heavily cloaked, but I believe that if we fire enough material at them, the shields will deteriorate, and we will be analyse the objects."
*You* "I will give the orders immediately."

Requirements: Energy 65, exotic material 1000
Per round rewards: 180
Completion Rewards: Location of Terra Planet. (Size: Tiny-large. Resources: Standard.)
20 rounds/completion
8 completions/finish

Note: These Terra planets were specifically created for this mission, so the planets are guaranteed not be to scanned or occupied by other players until after you discover the planet.

This is only the first third of the quest chain. I will write the rest of it if you guys like what you're seeing so far. The rest of the quest chain will feature a native sentient species on the moons, and an assault by the Terran Outsiders.

pretty good but the solaris planets are not really appealing , neither is the drannik matter as a colossal gas will pump out more than a large 17x

edit , did mot read "gas/plasma", that is pretty appealing actually , but we need more types of planets instead of transformers tho

To those that are finished most of the research tiers, are not looking for more. Planets cost me a fortune to colonise or invade so why would I want to spend on a resource that I don't need much more of.

If this were to happen make the planet equal in all 3 resources.

None of the rewards appeal to me sorry.

I'm certain a Mega Colossal 19x Solaris with some 4-5k (the cap escapes me) passive defence would sell for more than your invasion cost.

Hmm. I suppose, though it would make very little sense for a sun-like planet to offer heavy artifact rewards. Mining is a little less unbelievable.

If the planet that this mission chin is based around (gas) were changed to Aphotic, would that be more acceptable? (It would make sense, since it mentions that Aphotic planets already have a high core temperature.)

3892 cloak
4192 defense
3892 attack
Those are the passive stats on a plasma max i believe so adding 1k defense to that would be pretty good for most people who are mid to low level such as myself but i don't see how higher ranked player would benefit from this mission series. Maybe research contract could bring in more money? im not entirely sure.
