Planet size...all the way UP

    This is more a suggestion how far up the planet space should go.

    Very much...up till space.

    We could build little space stations up there with defences. Oh well..who knows how many additional stuff could be in the game by allready making enough space for expansion. Just saying but it would be a logical step for any civilization of space travelling race to build orbital stuff at some point.

    There could also be derelict stuff up there in orbit that could be used and maybe hold some ancient artifacts or blueprints ;)

    I thought the game happened from your space station?
    Buildings that are in the upper atmosphere of a planet sound intresting! Things like satalites?

    That's true about the space station but i assumed it was a space station somewhere in the middle of space.

    Yeah that was my idea. This could really add even more to the game :)

    Great idea. Planets shoul have moons too. Imagine "That metal is NOT inthe planet, but it's on the moon of the planet!" Would be cool. ^^

    Sure would be really nice to be able to go way up till space where you have 1 or more moons floating around.

    It also wouldn't be false to have one or more moons with resources on it similar to those found on the planet. From what i know even earth and moon are related in their origin.

    Hey, love the idea! Imagine being able to place a defensive satellite way up there that could keep track of your movement and shoot nearby enemies with limited ammo (and repairs needed and all). There're actually lots of possibilities for this, I support the idea to the 100%!

    That's a cool idea. May be a little hard to code in if they hadn't thought of it already, but we'll see!

    Nah I don't really think it's hard to code, they just need to increase the height of every planet and make the background become all dark and spacey when you reach the outer layers ^^

    This sounds like a really cool idea,
    a suggestion would be that you need a space helmet to get up there, since, of course, there is no air in space.
    So imagine you would get like a drown effect while going higher up, but in a rate that rise the higher up you go. And to remove that "drowning" effect you need to have space equipment on.

    I believe I may have explained this poorly but I hope you understand :)

    You actually made yourself clear, and the idea is of course required. I like it :D

    Sounds very good and very understandable. The proper Equipment should be needed. But because we can change our armor and weapons only at the space station from what i have read, it would be good to have such equipment in the "mechanics" slots or somewhere special where it can be put in or taken out at any time.

    Hmmh maybe, never heard about that you can only change armor & weapons at the space station but that could be fun with planning stuff! like for example you find a new planet you should think like "What kind of equipment do I need?" and "Should I have strong weapons and ammo with me to defend myself or should I leave empty space for stuff I find?"
    and with the case of this suggestions you could get the equipment you need for building the space defense system or so and such.

    But now that I think about it, it could be rather inconvenient to only be able to change armor at the space station... there should be another way right? Portable wardrobe?

    Oh I see, thats a pretty neat idea and I think I will be able to live with that :) Thought at first that it would be inconvenient but now that I think about it its a pretty balanced and interesting idea.

    It just hit me that this game probably will be the spiritual successor of Megaman Universe, BY COINCIDENCE. :eek:

    Just please, if there can be things SO HIGH, if something start falling from the sky, and it can hit me, i want to sort of arrow pointing to it and showing more or less how much distance it has to hit myself. Because walking through a planet and then dying suddenly BECAUSE A SATTELITE just felt is something we don't have even in Dwarf Fortress .-. (okay, in DF bandits CAN kill you once they find you but at least you have a chance to fight back!)

    My whole life i looked up in the sky and wondered what's up there and suddenly it struck me....directly on my head..a gigantic meteor :giggle:

    Being able to live on a space station would be amazing!
