Back in July of 2013, I proposed that some of the planetary upgrades and special planets get passives boosts that were more inline with their 'story'. Thread for those interested. They did have their passives boosted but in the end, they are the same as any other planet. There is no difference between a Aphotic and a Terra with passive cloak added.

This second update would make these planets special. July was before there were planetary events and % boost passives. I think now would be a good time to revisit this topic and actually make these planets special; not just in looks.

I put forth the following upgrades:

Passive Abilities:
Aphotic: Scan Absorbing: 15% Cloak
Ecumenopolis: Technological Wonder: 3% Production
Gaia: Ultra-Habitable: 5% Population, Morale boost: +1% Attack, Defense, Production
Sentient: Alive: 2% Cloak, Attack, Defense, Production, Population
Irradiated: Hostile Landscape: 5% invasion defense

Activated Abilities:
Plasma: Surge: 10% defense bonus, lasts 2 days
Demon: Firestorm: 10% attack bonus, lasts 2 days
