Suggestion: Buy Planets

from Sins Forums

At the moment we have two (ok three if we count the Advent Loyal Titan) ways to Destroy planets.

1) Bomb them

2) Culture

3) Convert them with Advent Titan

my suggestion is this:

You can trade planets. Make offers to other players, and if they agree, you are the new owner of the planet.
Maybe it could be possiblie to combine this with Diplomacy, a peaceful way to get enemy planets.

As TEC it could be possible to force other players to trade them if your Culture is high enough.

I already suggested it before but, taking over a planet with culture should give you the option to take control of it. The whole buy a planet through trade reminds me of spore. The conditions under which you would be able to "purchase swindle" a planet would have to be carefully balanced and considered since it will also be in "enemy"or allied territory completely undefended.

Sins II.  While ultimately this could be awesome, there's not enough time to implement it for Rebellion.

Are they even making a sins II? I mean I can understand why they would, but they haven't even gotten rebellion done yet.

There's nothing confirmed so far as I know.  I was speaking such that this would be great if/when Sins II came out.  That was my point.

agreed. the large amount of AI programming that would go into it is prohibitive.
