But is it still now, that the Space Elevator is disliked by many Species and as such cannot be spammed everywhere ?The Silent One wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 12:09 pmThis is a kind of micromanagement that is in conflict with freeorion's central design principles.
if you dont include such species, you are back spamming, needlesslyLienRag wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 8:29 pmBut is it still now, that the Space Elevator is disliked by many Species and as such cannot be spammed everywhere ?The Silent One wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 12:09 pmThis is a kind of micromanagement that is in conflict with freeorion's central design principles.
unlocking by demonstrating the mastery of the technique. that is a lot better than build-everywhere. anyway i think it seems arbitrary.
actually you brought up "A fighter defense system: "Oberlus wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 10:47 am This has little to do with the planet defense redesign, which mostly concerns allowing more shots per bout, or am I missing something?
The suggestion by jinlanid was ill from start. I was happy not answering to it and letting it die. I'd like to do the same now that LienRag resurrected it for unknown reasons.
yes agreed. that is what i wrote.
Absolutely, as in "Protection focus doesn't really help".
instead of an unconditional strong stability boost, make it mostly work by countering negative stability instead.Oberlus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 10:21 am Now, with current version, the real use of protection focus is to rise stability to get certain flat bonuses which more than compensate for the loss of PP or RP from not being focused into industry/production. And that is so odd and counter-intuitive.
I think that last issue should be addressed, but for now I just can think of removing or greatly nerfing the stability bonus of defense focus. Or make it only cancel stability maluses from being attacked (which I don't think there are any as of now, only malus from being supply-disconnected except for Confederated empires).
