Planet Threat Levels?

Discussion in 'Starbound Discussion' started by Chakat Blackstripe, Dec 10, 2013.

  1. Since the new patch I've been playing on my starter planet until I got steady food supply and my first weapon upgrade from the Iron...

    I head to my ship, pop open the nav system, and what do I find?

    Every Single Planet is listed as Threat Level: 1.

    How am I going to know which planets are going to be harder now? Or which ones are the higher grade for ores? I understand the mechanics have changed slightly, but the threat indicator for the planets was, in my opinion, a necessary bit of information.

    1-10, each sector is increasingly difficult.
    Currently in Delta sector (4) myself. Seems like the end for this patch

    Just looks like something they broke by mistake

    try raise it in the bug forums but im sure it will be fixed next update

    funny how the first "bug update" breaks something quite important

    It was intentional change. it is explained in the front page news.

    1-100 threat level was too confusing and broad scale. 1-10 divided between sectores is perfect.

    It's a little too vague now though. You can go to a level 1 planet and think that it's just as "idyllic" as your starter and wind having mobs that whomp you for 100 damage a pop.

    Maybe add in an additional signifier as well, like "Level 1 - Class : A" And have be three different levels beyond that, for easy, medium, and hard.

    i see so really its threat lvl 1 means 1-10 ad id assume threat lvl 2 would be 10-20 ?
    if so i like that ALLOT more since well a threat lvl should be a threat lvl seems more immersive

    Correction
    Correction: Now that i killed the 4th boss and got to X-sector (5th) there are planets with threat leves from 5 to 10

    They were saying that thats essentially what they will do. My guess is that the ui part of it just didn't make it in this patch.
