CURRENT
a) Firewall trap. Instead of 8 hours on the enemy,
1) why not 8 hours on the hacked ship with the trap (+25% anti-hack defense 95%->70%)
OR
2) Hack timer for the hacker increases to 8 hours due to technical difficulties
(TM doesn't help as it is an active effect)OR both
NEW
b) Planet trap artifact Cloning labs trap- +50% population for 24 hours - automatically filled and triggered upon first attack
(something like alarm sentry which acts like sentry guard but is only half the amount of time)
c) Planet trap artifact Krionus-like trap - (same effect like the krionus but for planets)
Artifact replenishment
d) Artifact effects timers should be resettable. For example: Using a sentry guard on a planet with 2 mins of sentry guard effect will yield a message and it won't be used. Perhaps replace it with -->
Similiar effect active, Replace it? [Yes] [No]
Getting sick of waiting for the effect to wear off before it can be replenished. (When artifacts finishes their time, Shield amps = you lose half your shields that was regenerated, ship traps/planet traps could leave them vulnerable as their effects could wear off when you are away from the game.
EXCESSIVE ARTIFACT STOCKS:
e)
Cloning pods
Containment cages
Unstable wormhole
And possibly:
Spy Probe (cargo/defense/attack)
Do find a way to reduce these artifact stocks if a lot of people is continuously scrapping them. (Missions)
Suggested missions
Unstable wormholes + containment cage =
Scientist are working on finding how to contain wormhole --> Reward = Stable wormhole, uses no energy
cloning pods = Gains longevity serum
Spy Probe - Missions to get research points.
