Bot Research should affect Wild Bot Slots?
Thoughts? |

Honestly, any skill that affects Combat Bots should also affect Wild Bots, but then, I'm for making Wild Bots and Combat bots take the same slots and making them a truly different series of playing so you have to make a deliberate choice of Wilds or Combats and can't pile them together randomly.

This is a design choice. If you want to make an argument you'll have to do a lot better than a one liner.

Title of skill „Bot Research“ says all. It gives you opportunity to deploy more bots (Trade and Combat).
Fleet Commander Class should get extra bonus from this skill. Why not give ability to have more slots for Wild Bots? 10 extra wild bot slots would not significantly increase power of FC class. Also, everyone would be pleased with bonus. |

I think we are happy with the current balance of Wild Bots so we aren't keen to give any more slots back for them.

So we're in the classic situation where there is no reason given for not doing something, but also no reason given to do it... So you know what the default answer is? Don't do it. Cause there's no good reason to do it. _________________ http://www.starsonata.com/suggestions |

It could be classic situation or you are not keen to do suggested changes but if i go with this logic...
Bot Research gives additional slots to Trade and Combat Bots. Why not giving extra Wild Bot slots? Also if you make this change you could increase demands for training Bot Research skill. |

By that logic, we should buff the Prawn because it will create demand for Prawn Pieces. _________________ Hi, I'm Anil, a long-time player turned developer.

No, by that logic your local government hammers out a new law for renewable energy, except solar energy isn't included.
Bot Research implies a skill for Bots. You have: Wild Bots Combat Bots Trade Bots Wild Bots are not included for some reason. They are Bots. The skill says Bots. Are they not a Bot? So you can either: --Include them in the skill like the name says what should be going on. or --Rename the skill to reflect Wild Bots not being a type of Bot. or --Break Bot Research into two skills, one for Combat Bots, and one for Trade Bots. There can be no confusion then why there is no Wild Bot skill. _________________ Reddit Space Invaders! |

Or we could just alter the skill description to say "(Not Wild Bots)" at the end... yeah, lets go with that
