  • Bring back raiding with espionage probes

    Allow raiding with espionage probes again, but only moons are possible targets.
    This solves two old problems with this attacks - disturbing the early game and destroing all defense on many planets to make them raidable with probes.
    And for the later game it's a very nice, funny gameplay for all playertypes with high risk to loose them.

  • The carrying mode was good, before the redesign : launch in carrying mode but without be able to take some res. With this, it was possible to launches probes to create activities to friends OR to your self. Now the carrying mode is disabled, and some things are not yet possible.

    I don't know why carrying mode is disabled and not attack mode... Probably because creation of CDR is most important than creation of activity mark.

  • iguypouf is right, it's a pity that carrying mode was disabled, it was useful to create activities " * " for friends.

    The idea itself is interesting, if it is limited to moons… It can be fun indeed…
    Not convinced that the non-fleeter will make a move toward ships again... It will probably be beneficial for the most active players only...
    And probably also consolidate all the related issues / complains linked to [deut vs cristal] via merchant.

    Apart from that, if it comes, I think I will try to take advantage of it (and definitely, build defenses on my moons :D )

    Big nay for me, as the most benefits of such feature will be reaped by botters with 50+k spies onboard.


    This is one reason why i reduce it only for moons .. On moons is no production, so when there are resources there are ships as well - and bot user can't raid them.

  • I miss having probes to quickly transport my stuff. And it will bring back a funny dynamic, where people mass probes and those get chased around... maybe what OGame needs is a bit more funny ;)

    Only attacking moons: Yes, they shouldn't be able to attack an undefended planet normally, makes bashing so much harder to overcome. But maybe they should be able to attack inactive planets.

    No cargo space: much less reason to amass them!

    Bring back the transport mission without bringing back cargo space: as a bare minimum, this should definitely be done as soon as possible, because it's a great - and fully legitimate - way of creating activity around your own and your friends' planets.

    Also, I think you should be able to attack yourself with esp. probes and make your own debris fields :D!
