This have been annoying me for quite some time is that when you construct cloak satalites It somehows takes up space on the planet yet the satalite is in space as well as some others building. (I think)

What I propose is 2 planes of building. One is on the surface of the planet and the second is in space.
There should be less space to build in the space plane because the buildings must be far apart.

If you're gonna go this route it would just be better to do what Noc said and have 2 structure zones. One only for resource structures and another only for defensive structures.

I do like this idea.

Which would actually balance out because the space plane is going to be a significantly larger sphere than the planet.



Where would Population constructs fit?

That counts as planet defense, so in the defensive zone.

technically the minefields and cloak satellites are in space, and the shield generators are on the planet. i like this idea.

I say:
+1 to surface and space zones
-1 to production and defense zones

yes

I like the idea ,
really ticks me off that satellites and mine fields take up planetary spaces

Realism and technicalities aren't all that important in a game like this; having them take up space on a planet despite technically not being on the planet is for balancing purposes. If they did what you're suggesting they'd just need to decrease the space on the planet and make that space be in orbit (such as a planet going from 51 space to 15 on the planet and 16 in orbit, for example) which would just force you to get those structures and not have as many planet-based structures as you want.

-1

So basically you want to even more overpower planets. By giving them more space. Or you're saying you want to reduce space you can put production and have some of the space dedicated to cloaking and mines, and nothing other than cloaking and mines.

Ok, -1.

2 planes of construction would make the planet more complex is a nice way.

Scan easily overpowers cloak, And planets are still very easy to take.

the space is already there, we just cant use it. this will let us build structures around our planet, making more space available. i do not see how this will overpower our planets.

Planets are only still easy to take if people have bad tech or don't bother protecting them; for 4 space you can significantly counter someone with a similar tech level, and if it's a planet really care about and put a couple artifacts on it'll be fine.

That's what he said, you'd be giving them more space, which could easily overpower a planet because they're balanced for the amount of space they have now.

From what I see currently, Players overpower legions More space would balance it out. It would only mainly add more cloak which the planets desperately needs. But if 2 planes are suggested the minefields and shields need to revert back to their orginal construction space.

I propose that the amount of construction space in space is equal to 50% of the maxium construction space on the planet itself.

No, I do not want versatility to be taken away from the planet. And I do not want any more space to be added to the planet even if seperate.

How about putting the larger size back on the defense and attack modules and then adding the size in orbit? And also for this to ever be implemented we need to think through what goes in orbit and what goes on the surface.

Moon tab: only allows weapons/defense/cloak buildings to be built, make it easy no artifact buildings either.

i really hope they implement the moon idea. it seemed like a really good one.
