Dear players,
Today I want to introduce two major changings which will be updated probably during the next two weeks. This will be a new payment feature, the relocation of planets, and some changings in the prices of our payment feature.
* Relocation
With the relocation feature it will be possible to relocate your planet (home planet as well) and the related moon. All resources, buildings and defense will move directly, the fleet will go after the target without deut costs but with it´s usual flight time (so it can be better to move it via jump gate later on, ships NOT shown in phalanx). The jump gate on the relocated moon will be deactivated for the next 24h.
Between activation of the feature and the movement is a delay of 24h. The planet / moon can only be moved if there is no building / research / defense or ship in queue and no own fleet on the way. Incoming attacks won´t block the relocation, they return after reaching the empty positon (they won´t "beam" back). Supporting fleets of other users will return at the moment the planet is moved.
You can only move to an empty position. After activation the position is blocked for other relocations and colony ships. If an other colony ship was already on the way and reach the position earlier it has priority and the relocation is blocked. Also you only can move to a similar position, e.g. from position 1 only onto 1-3 (range is 1-3, 4-12, 13-15). Temperature and planet picture will be changed, size stays as it is.
You only can relocate your planet ones in 24h, even if the relocation was unsuccessful (exceptions: blocked my a new colony). The necessary dark matter (around 240k) will only be deducted if the relocation is successful.
* Payment changes
Based on the usage we change the necessary dark matter for our payment features a bit.
Merchant: 2.500 -> 3.500
Geologist: 10.000 -> 12.500 (100k -> 125k)
Admiral: 10.000-> 5.000 (100k -> 50k)
Engineer: 10.000 -> 5.000 (100k -> 50k)
Technocrat: nothing changed...
Commander: nothing changed...
So we have merchant and geologist a bit more expensive, admiral & engineer much cheaper.
Wish you good luck in game and have fun playing,
