Best Bonus type in the Game

from Sins Forums

This forum is to discuss the best planetary bonuses. I think the best bonus comes from the Forbidden Worlds DLC. It is Fortress world. The reason is this is a war game. It adds an extra starbase to your defense in the gravity well.  It adds enough mines, and turrets and starbases to defend against almost all levels of enemy fleet attack. I believe that this bonus is more valueable then any of the artifacts. I wish they would the game devs put out another Galaxysceneriodef  with this added I think in the Galaxy forge if this was added it even allowing just one in the star systems being able to place it would complete change any game. So I would like to hear what others thinks and why so that I can better use these bonuses in game when I come accrossed them.

I find it can be situational.

If I had a choice most of the time I would choose an economic bonus rather than a defensive one like fortress world. You can always use more money, and being able to build extra starbases doesn't mean anything if you can't afford. Plus very few worlds really need a second starbase, and if it does you'd have to be very lucky for it to happen to appear on a vital choke point.

Best thing to get is the one giving -30% ship cost (efficient factories or something), every other one is absolutely lame compared to this, I don't understand why noone mentioned this.. It can save you so much money and resources if you dedicate that planet to ship building... You are able to pump carriers and heavy cruisers in no time for a good cost, and your titan will be cheaper as well if you build it there.

 

Good ones are the Societies that are only giving positive stuff like the modern society or the capitalist one, plus that nice allegiance boost.

Exactly, I always get Fortress World or Training Academy (both giving +1 starbases in that gravity well, the mine bonus is totally useless) on a world that is NEXT to the frontline, so not a border world, just next to it. I can only remember one time that I got a fortress world on an important world, well, it really helped much. But it was just one game out of many. And I am not willing to relocate the frontline to be further inside my territory just to be able to use that bonus...

Planetary Organic AI and Matter Compressor? Those can easily give you tens of credits per sec... The Fortress World needs a bordering world to be useful, but every artifact gives useful bonuses to your whole empire (except the Interstellar Drive or something, that is still useless).

That's +1 starbase on that gravity well and another useless thing (for me), I think it increases max mine limit by 25 or something.
