40 bases in the HQ gal?

Well, even without altering the base cap, adding more solar systems per gal would be useful because the average quality of the planet that your bases are on would likely be higher, since there's more to choose from.

But as it is you can have plenty of tier2 commods unbuilt on, due to the sheer amount of commods in the gal +a couple of defense bases...

An idea, maybe have the number of bases in the gal worked out via the number of planets/suns/moons/astroid fields etc...? With a hardcap on max/min incase of extreme variation.

Kanga

maybe a cap on number of stm bases + kanga's idea. since ppl seem worried about that and noone mentioned it...

Has this tweak gone live yet?

Yes, for a little bit, but we found a new bug with trade slaves and have disabled it until the next patch.

I noticed that 1 hydro would no longer support 299 workers, it seems to be closer to 270 now. Can you confirm that this tweak could cause this? I am concerned that if hydros are affected, extraction rates of other commods would also be affected.

the bigger the system the harder to defend. this uni, 70% of the good ruins and planets are in perilous space. why does it have to have anything there?

The likely quality of a planet based on the DF where it's found.

If you make gals with more 'solar systems', it would be cool if each one was like 20k-30k away from one another. Would make for some interesting strategies, and make highway drones useful

I personnaly own 3 Galaxies ind it's almost if i can get most form 2 of em.
That's with 2 accounts and 3 SM20 chars per account...

Me says beef base slots

Actually i even helped a guy from team get SM16 and even with his 8 ExE bases i still can't.

i would gladly pay for extra base slots.... for my account

The little tidbit about that though is. We "used" to get full slots from every character on the account, it wasn't a diminishing returns thing.

I've always felt that we should have the base slots returned at some date, especially since we moved from the old server to a much more advanced one. But I kind of doubt that we'll get full slots back.

If there will be a massive increase in server capability I don't see why we shouldn't get them back.

the buildable space is just growing bigger and bigger, while the slots are getting removed. it would be a good move if there would be more and more players coming to play, but at this moment its simply not enough.
