Scuttle/Evacuate planets

April 11, 2008 3:14:09 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to be able to evacuate a planet for a teammate to be able to take?

For example, if you take the lone planet that is connecting 2 halves of his trade pathway, or if he's Vasari and you want him to dump a phase stabilizer at that planet so he can help defend you if you're getting hammered?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd really like this option. I'm not sure how it'd work but maybe you could pay a small amount if it's an unupgraded planet and you get out like a colony ship or something? and if it's a highly upgraded planet you get back a few resources as well as getting the colony ship. Or it could be just like the standard scuttling, and you get back maybe a few hundred creds and a couple metal and crytal depending on the upgrade level?(unupgraded planets get you nothing)

I'm pretty sure you already can abandon planets. I remember seeing the option before. However, I don't think you get resources back, but I could be mistaken.

Yeah, you can evacuate planets.

It's a neat feature. Someone could build extractors and let their ally take the planet for credits. Or one of the two could take the planet, build defenses, then let the other have it for whatever reason. I've never used it myself, but it surely sounds great on paper.

You CAN abandon planets. Click on the planet, and you hit the "scuttle" button. It's like scuttling any other structure, ship etc.

I play vasari primarily and have actually done the phase stabilizer help team mate trick you're talking about by having him use the scuttle planet thing.

You can abandon planets, it's the same scuttle button/hotkey that you use for everything else

Edit: Geebus I'm slow today

It's also very useful at the beginning of a game when you accidentally colonize something before you have enough resources to build enough res. upgrades to reduce underdevelopment tax. In this way, you can abandon the colony and save from paying those taxes.

Things you have at a planet before you scuttle continue to work too, like the phase stabalizer will continue to work for a planet after you've given it to an ally, but they still take up slots. It'll say 0/10 slots used when you mouse over the tactical structures button, but if you try and build anything it acts as if those slots actually are taken, so maybe a tiny bug there. But in the end it's good and fair.
