Summary0014474: Attacking the Skylaxian senate expoit/bug
DescriptionSo I discovered today that selecting the option to attack the Skylaxian senate has no limit on it. You can click it once or one hundred times over and the effects just continue to stack. In my game, the Skylaxians were about to be wiped out and the only ones who didn't hate them were the Andors. This meant that I was able to get hundreds of rep with everyone else while only sacrificing my red with a single race. Screen shot below shows the extent of which this can be exploited. A simple fix would be to simply charge the player a bit of credits in order to perform the action.

Or there should be countdown or considerable Public Order hit and opinion from other races. As a ruler I wouldn't like it to face someone who kill the ruler of another country just because.

I also think think that at war or under attack or after an attack on the Senate, they should be harder to assassinate since they'd move their rulers underground to safer, heavily guarded location.

Thanks!

* The credit cost of attacking the skylaxian senate, the andor parliament, and the thoraxian hive queen have jumped from 0 to 15,000 to be in line with all other assassinations and to avoid some exploits that were related there.

Isn't the time requirement also a big deterent?! I mean, clicking that thing 100 times means that when you exit something like 25 years whiz by in the simulation. Maybe that's just a problem for me because I don't trust the buggers to stay friendly for 5 months if I can help it. :)

Definitely also a deterrent. But the cost in Credit was there on all the races except the ones I listed, so it was odd to be inconsistent. And honestly to do a big kill like that, it seems like it should cost time and Credit.
