Planet Cracker

A Giant Station equipped with massive Gravity lift, it pulls a chunk of the planet out and extracts all valuable ore before returning the rest of the mass back in into the crater.

- Used Only on your own planets
- Decreases Mining Resources by 1
- Fills your Mining Bar by 75%
- Costs 3% of your total energy to use
- Available Via killing a NPC , Crimson Blade Mothership
- Cannot be used on planets at or under abundant mining

Intended to be used on toxics with 15x megarich or on terras/oceans that have high mining but higher artifact production.

so, does this work exactly the same as in dead space, where once the mineral production reaches zero the planet is destroyed? or are we doin GL rules where youre stuck with a sparse mining planet after ur done?

Lemme fix it up a lil , i knew i was missing a lil something, and yes it works like the one in dead space lolol

lol then i definitly like this arti. might wanna pick a new name for the arti tho cause im pretty sure deadspace copywrited that one. but anything thatll let me get rid of all those crappy planets i first colonized is a definit +1 from me.

Its also in starcraft 2,planet cracker is a protoss mothership abillity, they just fly over a base, with beam blasting the ground like the movie "Independence Day" blowing up anything under it. lolol

Does this cracked planet remain under your control after cracked?

no, its destroyed.

Actually its still there, why would it be destroyed? it just says minus one mining resource.

ah, thats why i asked if when the mining reached zero%, is the planet destroyed, or are you just left with a crappy planet, you had said it was like dead space (so its destroyed)...

I edited it lolol , i knew i was missing something :L
If it just gets destroyed, then purchasing gp to abandon planets is pointless, people would just colonise it, crack it and there you go, starchart purged.

lol thats why i liked the idea. still, itd be useful if you have a 15x toxic and want a 16x toxic. just crack it then purify it.

Yeah sure it will fill your mining bar but than you lose mining production after the fact.This isnt cost productive in the end.

+1 but it should make you lose the planet its for those planets thats like research extremely abundant mining average nobodies going to use the mining onb a planet like that

The only way I will accept a Planet Cracker artifact is if it comes with a Planet Cheese artifact also...

Badum-tish~

Also, I'm glad that I'm not the only one to immediately think Dead Space when I saw this

i did to. lol speaking of which DS 2 was INSANE!

YEEEESSSSS! I LOVE it! I can't wait for the next one!

You can use it on a planet with resources like this :

Mining Very Abundant 12 units/hr
Artifact Sparse 6.6 units/hr
Research Extremely Abundant 159.6 units/hr
(Random planet i own)
The Mining becomes Abundant, i don't really use the Mining part just the research, so i just crack this planet and get lots of mining



LOL , i gotta admit thats funny.

I like this.

How about you can only use a cracker 3 times on a planet then on the 4th it gets destroyed.

Example
1. Large Oceanic -> Large Unstable Oceanic
2. Large Unstable Oceanic -> Large Cracked Oceanic
3. Large Cracked Oceanic -> Large Fractured Oceanic
4. Large Fractured Oceanic -> Poof Planet Destroyed

Also planet fills % of your MP bar depending on size, Say starting at 45% for Very Tiny in 5% increments per size,
