For example, you want to build 2 scouts at Planet A, you set the production to add a new project at Planet A. Then you want to make a colony ship at Planet B, so you add a new project to build a colony ship at Planet B. So that way, you can "split" the empire-wide production.<br /><br />Planets do not have buildings/upgrades. The only upgrade that you can build at a star system is a Stargate. Stargates can be built with the empire-wide production.<br /><br />Yes, I will try and make sure that "forward bases" be balanced. Right now, I'm focused on getting it all working, tweaking will come later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783554795252345413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-33561463339524140712011-12-15T23:56:34.657-08:002011-12-15T23:56:34.657-08:00Sorry about commenting on such an old post.

(Probably a good thing, because at this point I probably have no sway in the matter.)<br /><br />I think it would be nice to be able to split empire wide production between multiple planets. If you are defending on multiple fronts, you don't want All of your new ships to be built on one side of your empire.<br /><br />Also, how do planets build upgrades/buildings? Do they use local production or empire production? If empire production, then couldn't a forward base just construct a construction platform and then have an entire empire's production producing a fleet at your enemies doorstep? - I agree there are enough intermediate steps to balance things a little and give the enemy some time to react, but the "problem" still exists.Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-38151876738521057012011-11-15T13:58:36.011-08:002011-11-15T13:58:36.011-08:00Funny, I was about to post about the exact same id...Funny, I was about to post about the exact same idea :-)Oliviernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-86560420460631732882011-11-15T09:48:12.045-08:002011-11-15T09:48:12.045-08:00While it's true that it's similar to a pla...While it's true that it's similar to a planet-based production, the difference is that you can be building a ship at one location with the entire empire's production behind the effort, instead of just that planet.<br /><br />I'm going for the Construction Platforms (or Incubators for space based races) as a separate item from Stargates.<br /><br />Alright, sounds like we have this all sorted out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783554795252345413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-46325786610361077522011-11-15T08:45:59.779-08:002011-11-15T08:45:59.779-08:00Well it sounds like a step towards planet-ish base...Well it sounds like a step towards planet-ish based production. Seen as we now have these fixed position shipyard stations in orbit in systems, the only difference is they're in space so space based races aren't limited from making them as well.<br /><br />But I have no objection to such a step. I say go for it.Warped Realitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573825162106374182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-41872878237661071512011-11-15T07:30:07.649-08:002011-11-15T07:30:07.649-08:00I forgot about that problem, thanks for bringing i...I forgot about that problem, thanks for bringing it up!<br /><br />There are two possible solutions:<br />Make the stargate required for building a ship in a system. Can't build there without a big enough stargate. This can be confusing since stargates would serve dual purposes.<br /><br />Or this new solution (I think I like this better)<br />Require a system to have a construction platform for assembling ships. They can be in varying sizes. The bigger it is, the more expensive it is to build. Then stargates would just serve as a transportation method. Stargates would be cheaper than if it were to serve dual purposes. Construction platforms would be very very expensive, more than the stargates, to encourage fewer platforms.<br /><br />What do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783554795252345413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-16229158851100801652011-11-15T05:16:01.350-08:002011-11-15T05:16:01.350-08:00The trouble with the 'built ships appear in an...The trouble with the 'built ships appear in any empire owned system' with ownership being defined as having a fleet or planets there is we go RIGHT back to forward bases providing effortless reinforcements right to the front lines. Possibly with only a bit of lead time if you can't change the destination planet for in progress construction and thus the Compensator class space dreadnaughts will need longer to start appearing at the frontline.<br /><br />I personally don't object to stargates if you must do empire wide production. They at least solve the forward base of doom issue by making an expensive thing you must build to have a forward base.Warped Realitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573825162106374182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155975839837227856.post-42182907435063226552011-11-14T19:56:32.688-08:002011-11-14T19:56:32.688-08:00I have a friend who said he will set it up...
