planetary defense

I thought about the possibility to set up a defense for your home planet, so one cannot simply land and go crazy but needs your permission (that would be adaptable for housing too). This can go from a simple "you can not land here"-message to a more complex system (roll your ships characteristics like weapons, defense etc. against the planetary defense system) or a "real" gameplay feature.

This could also be interesting if multiple clans play on one server and try to capture enemy bases. Or maybe to defend yourself against space pirates (random event?).

This would be high tier technology (maybe limited in quantity) and very expensive. Just a thought

 

They already have a planet claiming system.

 

Thanks, did not find it, do you have a link?

 

Finding a link for stuff like that is very difficult, but I can back it up and say yes it has been said it shall be made (if it hasn't already).

 

Thank you Zeklo! I only would have been interested how their solution works

 

They never said how it works, just that it exists.

I assume it will have something to do with dungeons though.

 

I am curious how would dungeons have to do with claiming a planet?

 

I think claiming a planet will be simple as being the person there and getting the option to pay pixels to claim. Something along those lines.

It would be neat to have a planetary defense system, but I don't know if they are going to take space far enough that you could use your ship to take it down.

Maybe have it where you can infiltrate the defense facilities and take it out.

I read a book once where a great galactic civilization was wiped out by a virus. There where lots of planets that setup defense systems around their planets to fend off infected refugees, in the end it didn't help anyone because the virus had a long sleep period and had infected almost every planet. When the human race finally got into the exploration phase they started discovering these planets and had to figure out ways to get around their defenses.

That would be neat to run into.

In the book they had to trick their way past the defense system and disable it from the ground, that could be a neat idea for a kind of dungeon.

 

While paying to protect your planet isn't really immersive it is doable but I hope it is you build certain buildings that do something then once all of them are built you can change the name of the Planet as well as setting what group owns and thus making it your and preventing those who shouldn't be on your planet getting to your planet

 

It would be great to have it that way, I'm all for a more complicated and immersive way of doing it.
