Please increase planetary bonus frequency!!!

from Sins Forums

Planetary bonuses are quite a cool feature and something that further distinguishes planets and makes them more valuable / more of an asset. Yet on the huge maps i play,  too many planets seem devoid of any of them :(

A slider to adjust there frequency for me would be awesome!! (so all planets had both bonus slots used whetha 2 bonuses or 1 bonus / 1 artifact), but failing that jus boosting there appearance would be good, cos they are cool and like i said make planets more unique / valuable ;p

thoughts / comments appreciated

 

Also on larger maps, people have often said how they get bored of taking planets and chasing the AI around but with a higher bonus frequency maybe these people would have more inclination!!??

Note that Advent have several low-tier research items that greatly reduce the cost to discover planetary bonuses. Giving a greater frequency of planetary bonuses will likely give them a boost compared to their competition in middle game, which could impact balance if they discover one of the more powerful artifacts.

I don't think your last paragraph is related to the issue of why people get bored near the end of larger maps. It's because they've already won and the AI just doesn't acknowledge it. Unless the planetary bonus is something like "Artifact: kill other player", it's not going to make a huge difference.
