New action against enemy planets - Planetary Blockade

Uses your ship to blockade an enemy planet, when that players resource tick occurs you get the resources that planet would otherwise produce.

- Only able to use on a planet that is not being guarded.
- Can use on a planet that is already blockaded, resouces are shared.
- Planet Owner will receive an alert that planet xyz is being menaced.
- Planet will defend itself, blockading player(s) will take '25%' hull dmg
(unattended players will eventually get disabled and stop menacing the planet)
- Planet Owner will be able to remove you from the planet by warping or disabling (if planet is shared legion will be able to assist)

ok, this is a good idea, even though its been suggested before... however the only point i really disagree with on this one is the 25% hull damage thing. planets do VERY little damage to me, and for it to instantly take away 25% of my health i feel is unfair. and for some of the bigger players this can literally be tens of thousands of health. so, imo, the planet should 'attack' you every hour that resources are gained, doing double damage to you than normal cause ur in a blockade. this will still be no more than a minor annoyance, but it seems more likely than having 25% of your hull stripped away. the rest of it looks good, and i was hoping this woulda been put in the game by now, but a revive of the idea is good too...

This would be a fun new mechanic. Add some more depth the gameplay.

Instead of automatically taking all the resources, how about a ratio of your invasion attack vs. the planet's invasion defense?
If the planet is equal to you, you get 50% of the resources stolen.
If the planet has no defenses, you get all of the resources.
If the planet is twice yours, you can't blockade it.
