| Summary | 0002126: No reactor/harvester destruction on command station scrapping | ||||
| Description | Would it be possible to make it so that reactors and harvesters are not destroyed when you scrap a command station? I often do this, for example when I unlock a higher mark command station and want to replace all my low-mark stations, and it's now a pretty severe economic hit. To avoid being abused, perhaps command stations could be unscrappable as long as there are enemy ships in the system? | ||||

And with this proposed change, what is to prevent you from building the command station, building your stuff, scrapping the command station, and having harvesters and energy on a neutral planet? Part of this whole change was to stop this sort of thing; if you want to keep harvesters and energy, you gotta keep the planet, not just take it. However, maybe their can be a time delay of a few seconds on energy and harvester destruction if the command station died due to scrapping. This way, you can't have a neutral planet producing resources, but you still have enough time to replace your command station before they blow up. |

This should do it: * It is now possible to replace an existing command station that belongs to you all in one action: simply build the new command station on an planet and it will replace the existing one. ** Additionally, when this action is taken, it no longer triggers the when-command-station-dies logic for other ships on the planet; they don't notice the swap. This is extremely useful for reactors and harvesters, which otherwise would be unavoidably destroyed when the command station was scrapped before the replacement was built. ** This also causes the planet to not leave control of the player, even while the command station replacement is self-building, whereas before it would normally have been neutral in color for a while. |

This replacing only works if it is the same player building it as the player who owns the old one, right? Otherwise, think of the trolling possibilities. :o |
|
|
Right, only same player. |

Alternately, some mechanism to directly upgrade command stations to their higher-Mark forms would skip this entire difficultly entirely. EDIT: Wow, ninja'd badly. That's what I get for not refreshing the page. xD |
