Can anyone think of any drawbacks to setting the number of planets per sector really high as a way to limit the effectiveness of sector overloading? It would also nerf mothing. Lots of planets could kill big ships with sector fire, but that's what photons are for. |

I wonder how many planets it would take to kill an IC with 1% sector fire. Or, more realistically, exponentially increasing sector fire (1%, 2%, 4%, etc.) And whether any game where someone has that many planets might still be considered a contest. If you did load a sector with a very large number of developed planets, an overloading attack would be more likely to kill the good ones. |

Why overload a sector with developed planets ? 5 stock Hs starting 1% through 5%, if maxed on gas, will take out a maxed stock IC |

It is used to keep people from invading. For example, if I have a sector limit of 3 or 4 planets, I bring in others and then warp them out before extern. |
