Moons need to be more diverse in both coloring and military/economic value.
as it stands they are just another asteroid by your HW.
Moons are incredibly diverse (just look at our solar system).
A few ideas to spice moons up:
Mini volcano moons for higher tactical slots (maybe 4 more starting) ~ similar to Io
Special ability: 4 more tactical slots
Moons with atmospheres that can support life (higher population for taxes) ~ Still looking for these out there in space
Special ability: 20 higher population
Moons with abundant natural resources that would greatly aid in production (all metal resource asteroids)~ titan, ganymede
Special ability: 15% faster ship production at this moon
Ice moons that would be good for getting early crystal production (all crystal asteroids) ~ similar to europa
Special ability: 4 more logistics slots
Asteroid Belt 5 population max, 4-5 low yield resource nodes
Special ability: 10% more damage for all friendly ships in the gravity well using superior knowledge of the belt
Large moons:
Special ability: 1 more Hitpoint upgrade level bringing them to 4000 max HP
Yeah that would be a really nice way spice up the game(2 or more gravity wells in close proximity, moon(s) and planets), yet I would expect something like this more in SoaSE 2.
Methinks the engine would need to be fundamentally reworked to allow for this. Definately something to look forward to as a future experience.
Maybe a unique gravity well for every moon, but one that is ONLY connected to an actual planet? Or maybe at least to one and close to it. For invasion convenience.
Not that I don't like moon diversity, I say the more pressing matter is planet diversity, as in planetary sizes and planetary types, such as cities, or ocean, take every planet that is currently incorporated in the current version of distant stars for example. Once they added that, moon diversity is just changing planetary values.
Oh i agree
Oh I agree ice, its a dead horse that has been beaten a lot though. The devs expect the modders to add new planets, so start small and try to change something they recently added to spur the change.
shameless bump, because the topic is coming up again.
