So, if i get this right, the first ammount of points is the ammount of weapon points you can spend and the second is the overall cost?

[Monkatraz]

Yes, as in a fighter has 10 points to spend on parts and such, but you have to pay 30 points to buy it.

[StelarCF]

I don't think the 100 points/week is fair. Large nations will find it EXTREMELY HARD to defend, plus we will never get Dreadnaughts if it takes us 5 months of doing nothing with our points.
Instead I will copy here my point gaining system I made in the other forum (which you threw away, but the point system I made is still good, though maybe some modifications have to be made.)

First of all, planet classifications:
(I measure temperature in degrees Celsius)
Type 1: Kerbin like planets. Breathable atmosphere and temperatures ranging between -20 and 40 degrees C medium, flora and fauna present.
Type 2: Breathable atmosphere and temperatures between -20 and 40 degrees C medium, no flora and fauna. Must build oxygen generators to make them inhabitable for long.
Type 3: Mars like planets. Non breathable atmosphere and temperatures ranging between -100 and 200 degrees C.
Type 4: Moon like planets. No atmosphere at all and temperatures ranging between -100 and 200 degrees
Type 5: Gas giants. Extremely large atmosphere, but a lot of pressure. Temperatures range between 100 and 200 degrees.
And more classifications:
E-1: Low income planet, 100-200 points/turn
E-2: Mediocre income planet 200-500 points/turn
E-3: High income planet 500-1000 points/turn
E-4: Extremely high income planet 1000-2500 points/turn
E-5: (gas giants only) Ultra high income planet 2500-10000 points/turn

To make your planet get you more income you must spend 4*extra_income from your current treasury.
A turn = a day.

You can initially only claim a Type 1 or Type 2 planet with an 350 points/turn (middle E2) economy.
When you initially inhabit a planet it will only give you 100 points/turn. You must (as said above) spend points to make it give you more income.

[StelarCF]

No opinions on my suggestion?

You need to remember income is already able to be increased, by having more planets.

How would a gas giant effect it?

On the one hand it's huge, on the other hand it's not habitable.
However, my gas giant had five huge floating cities, and I'm building more.

How would colonies without any means of gathering useful resources, or even of feeding themselves, give useful amounts of income?

They use high-output wind turbines to create their energy, considering the winds inside the gas giant.

Still, without that. I see these colonizable only for one target- extra living space. (+ tiny bit of research) Or, extra high security prison.

[StelarCF]

Harvesting gases from gas giants.
"You need to remember income is already able to be increased, by having more planets."
Yes, but if you can't expand any further you should always be able to make your planets give you more income
+ up to some point it may be less expensive to do so.

That's edging on godmodding. Where are you getting the resources for this?

Actually, yeah. Where? I tought every empire/republic must start out with only one empire/republic habited planet.

You can get more points -
Planet - +100
Moon - +50

Alliance Projects - Pool money for dreadnaughts.

Essentially Dreadnaughts and even Battleships are late game because of their cost AND firepower. Keep in mind that higher cost = exponentially greater destruction.

[Kerbalnaut]

Also, do cores cost points?

[Kerbalnaut]

Can we have an aproxamate size for each unit, im not sure if my fighters are too big.

Oh.
My system was approved, so I have my moons.

[James510]

Nope. Check the Galaxy Race thread and see if the race you pick has bonus points, however. You may have a few to spend.

My fighters are generally 2 very small armor parts and lots of weapons. Smaller = Harder to hit. Especially with 25 Health.

I guess i wnt be able to use that God ship i just made.

[James510]

Fighters have been set to 30 Hp, check for point changes.

[Caesar15]

How do i make my carrier, an actual carrier, like how do i make it hold fighters?

[James510]

Ship Deployer, but we won't be using it.

You'll have to Buy a fighter using points. Ingame, I'll just place them on the map.
