Random planet scan of guaranteed quality.

Ex: 50 badges gets you a planet guaranteed to be at least average and very rich.

100 badges gets you a planet guaranteed to be at least very large and mega rich.

150 badges gets you a planet guaranteed to be at least massive and 4x mega rich.

Mostly because green badges are so hard to find. The planets can be enemy owned or occupied (perhaps it generates a new planet, perhaps it simply gives you a scan of one, if it gave a scan that could make people angry).

Of course these would all just replace the QSE/Terraformer spot on the wheel, and the badges would only grant a shot at one as a reward.

The stats could also be off, but what do I know? I'm a noob.

Anyone had any new ideas for the badge wheel???

If this idea is implemented and that weapon gets put in the wheel,then if it's weaker than the radiant surge cannon then it should have a triggered effect since Dan is working on that, or give it a % boost on something.

+1 awesome ideas

why was this necro'd? its a good idea... but the rewards arnt particularly appealing. with some tweaking and creative ideas, this could be a really good idea. but right now, i probably would never use this if it was implemented.

What would you suggest in the way of tweaking and creative ideas?

Here are my thoughts on this let me know what you guys think. I am going off a general wheel regardless of rank just so you know.

* You can get more of the % bonus's so two of the attack bonus would just give you 10% bonus but they they would be considered different bonus so they run out at the right time.

** or roll the die. New feature in game for items like these that give hourly production. You can either take what it is offering or you can roll the die which is a normal die with six sides. Each number on it is an hour so you have a chance to roll a one and only getting one our of production all the way up to a six where you get 6 hours of production. Just depends on how much of a risk you want to take.

Great Idea Mojo! Nothing Wrong with them...

This is a great suggestion mojo311.........Can we please get it in the February update thank you Dan

I'm glad this suggestion is evolving in to something players with different ranks, play styles and experience in GL can find useful.
+1 mojo

@Mojo311 - +1 i love it .

+1 to Mojo!

Also a friend has just let me know how this idea could get hugely abused by players who reset and then hold on to their badges till they get to a much higher rank then use them all to get really good rewards because of their productions and such. So to fix that I suggest that Dan put a cap on each badge type to force lower ranking players to use them or lose out on more badges. Something like 500 badges for the red, blue, and yellow. And like 100 for the greens while letting you have up to 1000 darks. Just to keep things more even and this to not be to over powered.

fun idea

+1

Mojo's idea sounds great.

lol, please dont put the cap into place until we have a week or so to use up our current badge stockpiles... otherwise i'd be losing out. but awesome ideas for the wheel. i'd definitely use it with the updates.

I would hope if he did put the cap on it that anyone who all ready has over the cap would keep them and I'm pretty sure they would spin the wheel enough times before they try to get more. lol

If he puts the cap on, I really do hope that it's higher than 500 - maybe 750. I'll have over 500 red badges waiting for Rank 100.
