| Post subject: | Idea for a CT Lab Item |
An artifact that can be used on an enemy ship. When used, it copies the location of whatever planet that player is guarding to your planet database. If that planet happens to be a "contested" planet (exotica, for example) or if the player is not guarding a planet, then the artifact will still get used, but will return a message that no planet was found. |

-1 As great as that sounds... Far overpowered, needs more limitations or one heck of an insane building cost. |

Well, i would at least double the numbers. I know people who could make 3-4 of those in a week. Double the amount, and add an energy cost of maybe 500 to make it, and another 500 to use it, and you've got something. |

The minute these become available everyone will just start guarding very tiny sparse planets to block other people. I like the idea, but once they become available they immediately become useless. Best I could see would be something that knocks them off their planet and stops them from defending it again for x time, but that would render exotica indefensible. |

Like Perillios that invented the Brazen Bull, and was then executed in it With an insane building cost and a few more limitations, it's a nice idea. Potential for actual strategy in the guarding mechanism. Just needs more details laid out. With that, +0.5 |

It's really hard to design a good CTL item right?  I was going to +1 this, until I see that planet trading So... basically anything that gives the location of a SPECIFIC planet that the owner can SELECT it, is practically abusable and not will be implemented... Too bad though, I would like see this implemented if not because the planet trading issue ~ |

Kinda like how critical hacks work. |

Then you couldn't guard your best planet to keep people away from it because that's the first one the most powerful players would find. How do you then go about protecting your home planet? |
