Estimated time of implementation: at Iosif's arrival.

Coefficient of rise in price will be changed from 4 to 6.
Existing technology levels for humans and tosses will be recalculated according to new prices:
· for levels 4-7: -1 level,
· for levels 8-11: -2 levels,
· for levels 12-13: -3 levels.
Satellite count supported by the technology would be reduced to 3 per level. Prenium users would get x3 satellite count, instead of +10.

For xerj the technology will become unavailable, with 50% of its old total cost compensated. Object limit will be determined by maximum level of Spire, each 3 levels giving same bonus as 1 level of technology. Spire's cost will be changed slightly (lower starting cost, CRP going up from 1.7 to 1.8), but without recalculation of existing levels.
Unit spawning requirements will be transferred from Spire to other buildings/evolutions.

In a week before technology levels are recalculated, players will be given an ability to “decolonize” some of their planets, refunding some of the resources spent on them. A new option will be added in planet control menu, analogous to “abandon planet”, which upon usage will take 50% of total cost of everything producible — buildings, ships and defenses — and transfer that as resources to your capital before completing the abandoning. Items and raw resources will be transferred as is. Total amount of resulting resources and items will be listed in planet control menu. This new option will be accesible for a month.
Amount of “decolonizations” will be determined by old level of Colonization technology:
· for levels 4-7: 1 decolonization,
· for levels 8-11: 2 decolonizations,
· for levels 12-13: 3 decolonizations.
None of your objects will be deleted automatically, but after the technology levels are recalculated you can be affected by overpopulation if you have objects not fitting into new limits.

Along with decolonization, there would be an ability to relocate planets and alliance stations (satellites), available to Premium users. To relocate a planet, its destination coordinates must be as empty as possible (a void, unknown planet or abandoned planet, no satellites or fleets). Relocation fee would be 1000 HC.

Senate decisions need to be approved by Tribune and Balance Editor. This one is still not formally approved.
Also, we have already started irreversible changes, so the cancellation isn't a realistic prospect now.



Capital cannot be abandoned so it cannot be decolonized either. (For some reason, ability to abandon a capital is shown, but it gives an error and doesn't remove the planet; it's the same for decolonization.)

Would you kindly consider allowing a free capital change, as many players are stuck with poor capital planets from chaning early during gameplay, which becomes more of a problem with fewer planets?

Would you kindly consider allowing a capital change token once a year on your anniversery date?

Would you kindly consider turning Temples and PPS to take up an asteroid/satellite slot, rather than a planet?

Thank you,

Unfortunately, this request was already made and denied.



Not sure this will fly, since they are 'central' objects and cannot be treated like satellites.
As for asteroids, their initial concept was to be an object that is controlled by fleet (like comets are now), without any colonization. They were made as pseudo-planets, as it was easier at that time, but they will be reworked in the future. So it's not a good idea to put Temples in the same category either, because the category itself can vanish at any moment now.
