In that case I guess I'll try to repair it but destroy it if the other empire gets close to it.

On the other hand, the planet destroyer is extremely overpowered, right? War for it might be worth it in that case. Difficult. Considering that I'm militarily the strongest atm I guess it's better to deny it to the enemy than take a chance on it.

Missile is used because it's the stripped down miniature design of spaceship.  Its advantage over direct energy system always is range, accuracy, and payload. Since the games never assign mass or space to missiles, obviously it's overpowered.

The planet destroyer is hilariously fun.

Get it and watch it tear through entire fleets like they're wet tissue paper.

I've yet to get a planet destroyer. I always have other construction ships coming by before im done and starting repairs too, then they wind up getting it even though I started repairs a year before them and have a fleet of ships sitting beside it. This happened twice so far.

One time I even declared war on 3 empires because they were actively sending construction ship after construction ship after it, and yet I still lost it to a totally different neighbor who showed up last second with a construction ship while I was busy fighting off the others.

I'm not sure why my ships never claim it once its done, the AI always seems to nab it faster.

The last few times I found the planet destroyer I just destroyed it.

I'm also having the distribution collapse problem. Everyone's running out of fuel, my ships barely can refuel themselves at planets and underloaded cargo ships... Hope a patch comes out soon.

Actually it just came out. Yipee.

Wow, I haven't played it yet but reading the notes they addressed pretty much every problem I've had with the game. Properly edit planets in edit mode (quality, resources, etc), prevents other empire military ships refueling in my stations, fixed the resource distribution (hopefully, I'll have to play to see if that works ), a button to auto upgrade all fighters, and even a separator for currency so I can quickly see the number without counting zeros.

This is why I love those guys. They love their game, and they work very hard to get it patched. I can't imagine the work that went into getting that to us before xmas.

Yeah game behaves quite nicely with the update. I don't seem to be having those freaky undersupply issues anymore.

On unrelated news the game's wreckage generator still is a bit silly...

(those diagonal lines on the upper left part of the cluster are the planet destroyer)

Looking for a nearby clonizable planet to set up as an operational hook for reclaiming this motherlode.

What is silly about it? The planet destroyer is only partially constructed, and as you build it the model slowly grows to the full massive size.

the idea that you can construct something the size of a  moon from a few little fragments is silly.

I mean the fact the game clustered both two starship graveyards AND the planet destroyer on a single system.

Presumably the construction information and plans are available there as well, else how could we repair/reconstruct ANY abandoned ships with superior tech?

Ahh yeah that is funny, yet pretty awesome. Important system!

I dont know, how did the russians build B-29 bomber clones from damaged planes left behind after bombing Japan, and making emergency landing in russia? They didnt have the plans or anything ^_^

Also a majority of the other ships generally are "mostly" there just seem to need patch work atliest thats what i like to think.
however the planet destroyer is like 5 lines of metal on the map that you miraculously begin constructing as soon as you find it no matter your tech level.

The only thing I don't like in this game, at least when comes to AI, is fleet refueling. Not that it's really long and inefficient, but because your ships tend to prioritize getting some fuel even before defending themselves. I have lost two fleets this way, when half of the ships waited in the queue to planetary dock.

[Djohaal]

If ships have no fuel weapons get turned off and shields stop regenning.
What bothers me is the fact the game has fuzzy frontiers. Securans always are entering my uncolonizing systems and colonizing them instead of me
