Well, what did you think would happen if you take off with their money gabeux?

Anyway: For those who want to see a little preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ5NgJi9Ovw
Implemented this afternoon, will be in there with the next update

[ductape]

vicious!

[Neonivek]

Wow, you don't play around

[magellan]

... and i think it's kinda pretty too
still undecided on 2 things though:
Should it damage the awayteam, or be a complete "Eye of the storm" kinda thing.
And:
Should it come in different sizes, like, some leveling only half a planet or even less...

But i gotta confess i had quite some fun today, hopping from planet to planet and watching it leveling mountain ranges and evaporating oceans

[ductape]

different sizes would be great, expecially since they would probably have different costs.

Also, you above comment gives me ideas, such as different effects. Some bombs might only evaporate oceans, or maybe freeze the whole planet. Maybe some would simply nuke all life, or maybe like genesis device, create it.

[magellan]

Nah, something like this has got to be an alien artifact, not buyable.
But some of them might be very, very old and only barely functional.
Hmmm.. but a "neutron bomb" variant sounds fun...

[BishopX]

It needs a timer. And it needs to kill the away team as well.

I can think of just the planet I want to use this on.

[Neonivek]

I DO suggest you reveal the whole planet after the bomb goes off. If ONLY because it is rather ugly that the animation does it, only for the map to suddenly superimpose itself on you once again.

[magellan]

The map coming back is just caused by the "show all"-debugging flag. Won't be in the finished product
thanks for the input guys!

Different companies give different rates. Also, biodata is the most farm-able type of resource in the game. Find a cave which produces lots of large predators and go hunting. Rinse. Repeat.

[magellan]

Actually i have been fiddling with that one a little, and been keen on some feedback:
Thing is they have become a lot less farmable in 0.1.9. (you get biodata/number of critters of the same breed you killed) Life specimen on the other hand are always worth the same, wether its the first or the 100th.
While the system is sound, i think, the question is wether the values are.

Having a pleasant time with this, the game has a metric shit ton of potential. Bloody hard, but this one is on my watch list now.

Btw that bomb thing was awesome, I want to do that in a robots' planet
GIAHAHAH

[Ampersand]

Looks like an awesome addition to the game to me. Also, if you want to add variants, Neutron bombs, if I'm thinking of the same thing you're thinking of, would simply kill every living thing on the planet, without the whole evaporating the oceans and leveling mountain ranges effect, which may be nice to have if you plan on mining the planet out for everything it's worth.

How do I remove people from my awayteam? the "A" screen says enter, but that doesn't work. I don't have money for 50 jetpacks!
