I would like to see something coming from the Collective Theory Labs that is other than blue prints. Maybe some credits, or a scan of an NPC. Maybe CTL can have something that really seem collective in purpose; players depositing RPs towards certain specialized objectives.
e.g.
1) You have made discoveries in the research of Supercollider! - Supercollider is now at 13%.
2) You have made discoveries in the study of Quantum Mechanics! - Quantum Lab is now at 13%.
3) Minor breakthrough at the Quantum Lab - +1% base research production.
4) Minor breakthrough at the Biogenetic Lab! - your earned 1 million credits.
5) Deep Space Satellite has located an alien vessel! - a new NPC is now at your battle tab.
6) Increased efficiency at the Biogenetic Lab! - 50 Cloning Pods have been deposited to the legion base. (btw, is there going to be some sort of artifact storage/market in the legion base?)

How about this:
Planet Breaker: The planet is broken apart into innumerable pieces and becomes a Cluster planet. +1 Size, +2 Mining, -2 artifact, cannot have population structures built on it, and cannot be used on Irradiated, Demon, Sentient, Gaia, or Dyson planets.
It could require some number of Processing Core Chassis, Grav-Whip Traps, and Phase Cutter Chassis plus 150 energy.

Paradox generator would be a great addition to the collective theory lab.

Unless Time Manipulators are changed back to being sendable, they should be used for something in the CT Lab as well (maybe even if they are changed back, but definitely if they aren't). Haven't thought of an artifact they could be used for yet, but something.

Time Bomb (needs better name)

40 Disarming Bombs
30 Containment missiles
Sets all timers on an enemy ship to 60mins. Not reversible by a time manipulator.

I was mentioning a day or so back to my legion that Dan should make some sort of race changing artifact for the CT lab
figured everyone would like to change every so often and I for one can't do it more then 3 more times (I will be out then)
30 Time manips.
20 Planet time vortex.
20 Neural interfaces.
100 Energy
The time things would be to go back to your last choice and redo it and the neurals allow you to keep memory of what has happened in the universe, thus making this logically plausible.
I also wanted (before I knew about this page) to have a trap that raises the defenders stats by maybe 1000 each for 4 hours instead of trying to disarm the attacker for 30 min. or an hour. This way would allow the attacker to continue at a disadvantage or give up. mmm, choices!
it might need to use some Crimson obelisks (30?), nanite swarms(10?), and grid consoles (10?). a trap shouldn't cost much as a one time effect but think of how nice it would be to come back to that boost and get revenge.

Personally I think there needs to be an adjustment to the current labs. As we add discoveries the chance for the next one gets more difficult too fast. I would suggest we decrease the difficulty based on the level of the base. I am not sure what the numbers are in the game currently but something like a 1-5% increase in chance of discovery per level of the base would be beneficial. There would need to be a cap of like 25% bonus to keep this from getting out of hand though.

If we make it easier for the higher base levels then only those able to spend the resources would benefit. instead maybe a % bonus for players under a certain rank for spending what could be 4 hours research for 1 attempt? (like me! I refuse to take 7k/hr and wait 3 hours to TRY at 1%)

Flux Alarm: lasts 2-4 weeks on planet, warns like an alarm sentry but on planet being scanned. Does not alert the scanning person that it got set off.

I like that idea, in fact I came online today with something somewhat similar in mind: a week or two week long trap that reinstates the planet location if the planet is fluxed, bear in mind that knowing someone will flux means you should have done it yourself but say you just want to keep it safe just in case someone goes after your dyson while your at work. Even with a somewhat high cost it has potential to waste an enemy flux and give you a chance to retake it with surprise from those who believed it fluxed! The odds of knowing in advance someone was after it are slim however so it would be as you say like an alarm trap, precautionary but most often useless. (cept against ranks under 100)

i was thinking while npc farming and it got to me, what are the odds of someone attacking me while i was waiting to repair. so i thought about ways to stop them from doing so and i came up with the idea of another trap that could be usefull to those that like to npc farm. i have yet to come up with a name for it but what it does is if your hull is below 50% and you are attacked the trap will fully recharge your shields and maybe your hull if it doesnt seem to unbalanced. feel free to comment or give ides for a name or changes.  _________________

Continuity Slip Panel
100 Tachyon Cylinders, 100 dark pyramids 10-50 duratanium brackets (not sure what's fair.) energy 100
Creates a continuity slip panel that adds a permanent 100-500 hull (based on bracket cost) plus ten scan and cloak.
All permanent.
I figure it's a minimal addition but over the course of several of them and several months it can add up to a few hundred scan or cloak.

I was thinking of a planet expander based on rarity in the CT lab
Something like:
Common planets can be expanded to Average
Uncommon up to Large
Rare to Very Large
Extremely Rare to Massive
or maybe it only works on rare or higher
Rare can be expanded to Large
Extremely Rare to Very Large
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? Unless I'm mistaken, the only extremely rares are Gaias and Exotics, meaning that the chance of being able to make good use of this artifact is slim indeed. I would also scale it higher: Common: Large Uncommon: Very Large Rare: Massive Extremely Rare: Colossal

Here is an idea.
How about a truce effect that can't be removed by containment missiles!

I would also scale it higher: Common: Large Uncommon: Very Large Rare: Massive Extremely Rare: Colossal Exotics are the only planet I would personally use this on, since they can vary in size so much. I am already going to have a colossal gaia very soon, and anyone persistent enough can do the same.
