Need for different sized planets

from Sins Forums
I think a good idea to incorperate into the game would to have different sized planets. The only thing affected with this change would be the size of the gravity wells, ie. smaller planets smaller wells, larger planets larger wells. Also I think that asteroids need to have a reduced gravity well to make them harder to deffend. In reality I think it would be much harder to deffend an asteroid than a planter. I don't know if the devs are open to this idea or not. Any feedback?

Then you would have incorporate different limitation for planet upgrades, and the size of something doesnt necessarily affect its gravity well, its mass that really counts.

bigger planet size = normally more gravity, unless it's made out of marshmallows.

Personnely, I would be happy to have different sized planets. Right now all they seem to be is a change of skin.

I agree, plants should all be different. It would definitely change strategic values of planets, as well as create more variety. It would also be cool if there are different types of planets, like gas giants, ice planets, etc. where on one it would have great recourses, but wouldn't be able to build defenses because its a gas giant!

Also, 'deffend' is spelled defend. One f

I'm not 100% sure of what Ironclad has planned in this area, but I do know they're working on some cool stuff.

Yep, different sizes of gravity wells for different planets would be nice.

It would give some diversity in planet sieging.

Yep , I feel its coming...

well yes, but since its all in one solar system the debris is basically going to be the same composition.

I think this is their new smokescreen...
obviously they are going to incorporate some of this, the only problem here would be creating custom skin textures for each size planet.

It's good to hear this may be incorporated.

I always mispell that word, and I didn't go through it and make sure everything was right... oh well

Just as long as all the gravity wells are increased in size (including the stars), I am happy.
