Research Project Ideas ( Any)

DOn`t be trying to give me a X class Dead GOM \**/

@Arch love it

All these idea is pretty exciting. Potentially allow player more things to spend their turns and resources sink. People who love to exchange huge resources in exchange for small temporary advantage would be good for the overall economy of the server.

Here`s one idea which I have:
( All races, RT only)

Research Project Name :
- Terraquakes

Research Project description :
Switch colonies position.

Switch selected planet one position down/up
- turns required 300
- credits required 10,000,000

Switch selected C1 one position down/up
- turns required 3000
- credits required 1,000,000,000

Switch selected C2 one position down/up
- turns required 10000
- credits required 10,000,000,000

Switch selected C3 one position down/up
- turns required 30000
- credits required 200,000,000,000

Condition: Empire must choose the planet/colony to switch position first before initiating the research of the project. This is to prevent empire completing the project first, attack another empire to capture a good colony, and protect that colony through shifting the colony downward by activating this project. This project purpose is to allow player some flexibility in managing their colonies set-up. Eg when an empire explore and got an x-class planet, and he would need to explore another 4 planets to form a C1 in order to plunder the x-class planet. But he might explored a decent land size planets during the process. Hence will be nice to have the ability to shift planet position.

+2 If people want to play UC play it, don`t remake GC into UC or what little player base GC has will die off like UC

@DrKsTgUaRdIaN go play uc for that

( all except coll and viral )

Stolen/Adapted from UC - All projects are all races
_____

Administrative Recon Center
Must invest turns every time you activate, no cool down time between activates

Allow you to see one empires planet page (planet setup / land size)
_____

Military Recon Center
Must invest turns every time you activate, no cool down time between activates

Shows 5 random stacks in empires fleet (guaranteed 1 stack in top 2)
_____

Sabotage Center
Must invest turns every time you activate, no cool down time between activates

Unassign land on one planet - creates an empire events record in impacted empires records
_____

Temple

Invest something (UC uses ore) to build temple taller. Tallest temple any given day gets artifacts, cool ships etc.
Temple loses x% height daily so constant investment is required to maintain height.
_____

Caymans Account

Store X amount of credits for later withdrawal. Credits are safe from artifact bombardment. Can only use 1x / 24 hours
_____

Caymans Time bank

Store X amount of turns for later use.
_____

Deep Space Radar

View last 20-30 battle events across game speed
_____

Library

Allow you to reshuffle infra levels

And I`m totally serious here, all of these should be considered. I like them all.

Race: All

Research Project:
Doomsday Clock

Research Project Description:
Extends a UW countdown by ___ hours depending on investment. This may only be used twice per UW attempt and is stacking. Meaning a 48hr UW may last as long as 64 hours.

2 hours.
500 turns
500B credits

4 hours
750 turns
750B credits

8 hours
1500 turns
1.5T credits

I remember the project idea that was around years ago that changed weapons stats

EG more range less hull, or more weapon damage in A minus in B but that is complicated to do and would make battles way more interesting too
