Cloaker: adds 250 passive cloak to a planet(can’t be used on planets with 4k+ passive cloak)
5 interspacial fold generators, 25 dark pyramids, 25 positron clouders
Each IFG adds 100, it seems this would be quite a waste of them (not to mention the other artifacts) just to push beyond their set max. + passive cloak is already near 4k, would this push it over 4k?
it would push it lets say from 3856 to 4106 passive cloak(cloak caps so that 250 extra isn't possible to get right now)

Recycler: size: 5: Grants 1 t.o. for red badge aquired
500 red badges, 100 ancient crystal foci, 100 crimson obelisk
so this trades 500 badges for 500 TOs?
no it doesn't give any boost to start off with and would slowly increase without having a limit
Defender: adds 500 passive defense to a planet(can’t be used on planets with 4k+ passive defense)
50 alarm sentries, 5 gravitic amplifiers, 2 domain walkers
Better ratio, but similar questions as passive cloak above
it would push it over(up tp 4499) as long as the defense is <4000

Crimson spurt: Ability: increases attack by 10% for one hour with a 20 hour cooldown(1/player)
1000 ancient crystal foci, 1000 crimson obelisk, 1000 dark void foci
1k each!! that's 33x a crux amp (not including the dark foci) for the same benefit???
might change the costs but it's an ability without it running out(an extra 10% attack on top of the other effects)

DM 85 Data center: upgrades an existing Dm 79 Data center doubling its production
100 spy uplink chasis, 5 shadin hypergrid networks, 4 Dm 79 Data Centers
Would this then be used on a planet with a Data center to upgrade it or would it be a replacement?
upgades an existing one
Tri-phase upgrade- triples the mining/attack of a tri phase
100 phase cutter chassis, 25 warp gates, 5 tri phases
Would this then be used on a planet with a Tri Phase to upgrade it or would it be a replacement?

CTLII: special space 2: cost to build 10B cr, 1m e.m.(can only be built on level 8+ bases)

Battle Extender: gives one more npc slot(limit 2 per player)
50 dark void ACFs, 30 dark anti-beacons, 250 ship bots
I think we have enough NPC slots (at least until it is fixed so that they spawn from the top)
he might consider fixing this or have another tab just for npc's(10 npc's and 10 enemy players)

Repair Ally: 1% chance to repair 5% of hull while attacking, and a 5% hull bonus(1/player)
500 nanodrones, 250 nanite swarms, 100 ship bots, We already have a % hull booster. Chance to repair seems insignificant, I'd rather just use a nano
I'll rework this one later

Cloaker: adds 250 passive cloak to a planet(can’t be used on planets with 4k+ passive cloak)
5 interspacial fold generators, 25 dark pyramids, 25 positron clouders Ummm.... no. Wasteful
increase passive cloak a bit lets say adds 500?

Hidden power: size: 1: 4 artifact, 10% cloak bonus(limit 1/planet)
100 void shells, 5 magnetosphere charger, 4 adumbrate stations I wish... overpowered
600 dark badges and having to raid 4 level 6+ bases
Quasmitate: Expands a planets size by 1 up to massive
100 ship bots, 50 tesseract containers, 2 terraformers, This makes dan lose money from QSE's. Plus colossal planets would be everywhere in no time

Make it max at vl and only use 1 terraformer(or 2?) increase ship bots required?

Time stopper: ability that allows you to raid/hack without the use of a Time manipulator(2 hours)
500 time manipulators, 100 containment missles, 10 krionite torpedos I cant see any problems with this

decrease the time to 1 hour or less?

Recycler: size: 5: Grants 1 t.o. for red badge aquired
500 red badges, 100 ancient crystal foci, 100 crimson obelisk No... just no
496 badges give 600 attack, an additional 784 give 360 extra attack, 1k would give 500 extra since many players have 2.5k+ kills and would probably use it. they keep the red badges after the initial 500.

Styrll informer: informs you on the traps the enemy has
10 stryll trap probes, 10 containment missles, 5 subspace seekers This one sounds ok

Defender: adds 500 passive defense to a planet(can’t be used on planets with 4k+ passive defense)
50 alarm sentries, 5 gravtiv amplifiers, 2 domain walkers Wasteful
change the walkers to 50 sentry guards

Crimson spurt: Ability: increases attack by 10% for one hour with a 20 hour cooldown(1/player)
1000 ancient crystal foci, 1000 crimson obelisk, 1000 dark void foci No more attack buffs are needed, we already have a bunch
probably decrease the time and only certain players would want it

DM 85 Data center: upgrades an existing Dm 79 Data center doubling its production
100 spy uplink chasis, 5 shadin hypergrid networks, 4 Dm 79 Data Centers This must be a joke... Its already a very high powered structure and you want to double it?

not very op since it provides 100 extra research on a 17x plasma and research isn't that great

Tri-phase upgrade- triples the mining/attack of a tri phase
100 phase cutter chassis, 25 warp gates, 5 tri phases 9 mining for 1 space? Overpowered
double the bonus so 6 and you would only have a few since this one requires 5 raids of a level 5 base.

I started running out of ideas and was thinking of whether it should cost research points or e.m. to use
1. research points: same way and it gets harder as is continues
2. exotic matter: same way but 25% of the cost. 8k research point attempt= 2k e.m.
