2008-11-15 |  | U Class planetary upgrade |  |
Okay granted we all know U class cant be clustered for reasons concerning game balance among other things...
but suppose that a u class cluster upgrade was included to make the game a bit more interesting.
for instance, the upgrade could only be done on U class of one type only. ( can cluster 5 each of u large in one cluster, and in another cluster you can ONLY cluster Edens or Fertiles... and so on)
But researching this upgrade would take a considerable amount of time say... 5000 turns for any race...
Cluster benefits: (can vary for each server)
U Large cluster: land... and nothing but. mods stay the same
U Eden cluster: land... and population mod +10%
U Fertile cluster: land... and agri mod +10%
U Spazial: Not so much land, as the cluster would be incredibly small, but the benefits of digging would be +10%
U Rich: Again, land issue. Mining mod +10% Some really good mining
Idk... would be nice since getting 5 of each if hard work anyways, plus you cant mix n match so it may be worth it...
Guides, Admins, begin the bashing |

99+ day(s) ago | agree with aba |
Hiigarans
99+ day(s) ago | this was against the original idea of U class; it suppose cant be cluster-able |

99+ day(s) ago | I would prefer if they made collectives assimilated bases just capable of using ag and mining... Seriously... *we made you a part of us.. so you forgot how to make food* how could we be so great at makign food, yet can`t do it, just cause we have someone else to do it?.... and personally.. since your Getting such a huge bonus, Anyways, merely from having such a large land base, I think the benefit should be something like -10 -20, rather then +10.. merely for teh sake of game balance... except for perhaps the U.spaz |

99+ day(s) ago | well ye, gorodos will be useless and people will remain unpaid forever probably so bad idea . |
EvilAbadayos
99+ day(s) ago | so in that case for the larges.....
E.7300 U.Large 1,875,100 970,640 5000 0 11,030 41 Composite
E.0351 U.Large 907,280 907,280 5000 0 10,310 47 Composite
E.6361 U.Large 1,343,760 1,343,760 5000 0 15,270 36 Terran Metal
E.4811 U.Large 812,152 812,152 5000 0 9,229 0 Strafez Organism
E.4026 U.Large 748,352 748,352 5000 0 8,504 47 Strafez Organism
I would have what? a 50k land roughly U Large C1?
Just a tad overkill cos I could make several more even whilst keeping my C2`s and still be able to explore for more.
Horrid idea, sorry. |

99+ day(s) ago | What I think would be a good idea is a U. Class planet with 2000-5000 land and a +250% (or maybe higher) modifier for industry... and while i have been here long enough to know better, these types of threads are made for daydreams.... |

99+ day(s) ago | sry Mate but Some players that are terrible at stacking (Me) enjoy playing the game for other reasons. Clustering U Class makes my months of digging to make gordos a waste of time and money (Some of us pay for the 45 turns). I am close to getting my little Terran C2 to 40k and had been planning on gordoing a Fert afterward. As far as Ferts being tough to get, sometimes true sometimes not. On my Ultra account I landed 5 Ferts in one hour while exploring for Barrens. landed two Ferts on RT back to back two days ago too. I`m all for game improvements but please remember that some of us play the game differently. |

99+ day(s) ago | that would be awesome! except for virals and collectives. i say nay. |
WhatIsTheMatrix
99+ day(s) ago | well being that collectives and virals have outstanding clustering options, planet count rarely gets above 400 and thats at least 3 C3 clusters for people who cant infect or assimilate.
Excluding larges is good but a big fertile is a nice thing to have anyway.
And there is nothing wrong with the way it is. but GC changes anyway so its just an idea. makes it more fun and maybe add more ppl |
Macbeth
99+ day(s) ago | personally I didn`t see anything wrong with the Collective c5. |
OttOmaNS
99+ day(s) ago | lol macbeth why not have the c5 back then too lol. |
Macbeth
99+ day(s) ago | How about clustering regular C3s into C4s aswell? Heck why not =) |
OttOmaNS
99+ day(s) ago | exclude u.larges, then its good, i would love to have a 10k fertile . |
EvilDP
99+ day(s) ago | I want a popsicle too ! |
Islander
99+ day(s) ago | I suppose it would be interesting, but you would need to exclude U. Larges. |
Macbeth
99+ day(s) ago | So you can have a 5 planet cluster, with a potential of 50k+ land? And 10k+ Ferts? What`s up with the way it is? |
