Suggestion: Kostura usable on owned/allied planets.

from Sins Forums

I have been in a few situations where an allied planet gets attacked and I have no phase stabilizers nearby to get my fleet there to support. It's always bothered me that a superweapon that can create a phase lane can't be used to support an ally planet.

 

My suggestion is to make it so the Kostura can also be used on ally gravity wells as a phase stabilizer minus the structure disable.

Yes I think your ally in need would be very happy with a Kostura hit on his planet that disables most of his defenses. :grin:

On a more serious note though, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to target owned (and possibly also allied) planets with it. A feature like this would also make the Deliverance Engine a lot more useful.

hmm sure add in another reason to play vasari over the other races!  Its not as if the vasari have a lack of options when it comes to movement.

Sarcasm aside, the kostura is already a very good weapon as it is, and is the only super weapon that you need 1 of to be extremely effective.

The Deliverance Engine CAN target freindly planets!

I disagree that a Kostura should target freindlies too.

Wow I didn't even know that. :O

I never build those things though. Waste of resources if you ask me. Better build a starbase with Evangelization Node upgrades.

Hmmm..... might be a good idea. Try to mod the game so you can shoot the Kostura at allied planets, play a round w/ the Vasari, see what happens.

PS:

Mod as in Make a Mod, not edit the actual files in the steam directory.
