Asteroids

[A380]

Do asteroids actually hit our planets, or do they just change their direction all the time?

[Th1eF]

Nothing like that. Consider them moving depots full of gas.

Exactly. See this post (item # 3) for more info:

Ok I have read that last link, but that is for W3 not World 2 where i am in. How can I get the gas contained in the asteroids in world 2?

Would be a good game concept if a asteroid can hit planets

Can create a new Mission to destroy the asteroid before it hits a planet.

If it did hit it could Change the amount of fields on the planet Destroy X amount of buildings (i would say everything as not much survives a asteroid hit)

It would be very cool if an asteroid destroys your planet just after you register 0 points, no fleet, no nothing and account too

Hurray, now I will have to get up at 2 o'clock AM just to make sure that an asteroid that has appeared during the night near my planet won't destroy all my buildings. Even if I catch the attack earlier, i have to have ships to stop it. Oh, no, my shipyard is full during the night! What a problem- i cannot defend myself if am a fleeter. It's not a good idea in my opinion.

WoW aient you bright you can express your Criticism with Sarcasm!

Firstly it was a rough idea yes of course how i explained it would be final way it would work in the game fight fire with fire

Here are a number of ways things could work with this "IDEA"

Your Orbital Defence could attack it as well

Asteroids (NOT Comets) generally move slow though space so it would take days weeks till it hit

After being destroyed it there could be a recycle field there’s your reward

New Buildings Ideas
observatory could detect things like asteroids and enemy fleets
Uber mass driver on a planet to destroy asteroids

hell that last one is even a scientific theory on how we would destroys one coming at earth


Try and be less Sarcastic and think about the Idea and HOW IT COULD WORK not why it wont that comes later.

Also no dev is gonna be interested in any idea until its been bashed out though the community first and then there’s if it can be done code wise

Ok, lets think for a moment. An Asteroid jumps out of nowhere, why should it hit a planet 10 systems away instead of the first one on its way? That's why I asked about what would happen just after you create an account. And what if you create a new account, log in with it and 5 mins later an asteroid is going to destroy ur fresh and clean planet?

I know this is only an idea, but in my opinion there are ideas that need to be discussed and such that don't cause they will break the game balance.

Cheers.

ok repost from your first point just more explained

but could it be written so this event would not happen to New people to the game

Also could bring the community were players team up to defeat the astroid alliance members can help each other
it 's not hard or inexpensive to get a new planet
