The Spaceport can hold up to 6 satellites/starship components. I usually use all of 1. Once you build one component, by the time the next one is finished you've launched the first one already. And the SULV can only hold one at a time. Perhaps some use for all that empty space can be thought up...

Also we need more kinds of satellites - EDWARD and solar just don't cut it

spy satelites! Watch the enemy colony while managing yours!

Possibly have a seperate window like a PIP on TV? (picture in picture, you can watch 2 channels at once)

I think i made a suggestion about a sat in one of the scout needs new stuff thread

http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=2961

That one youll see what i said about it thats kinda what i think of a new sat.

CK9 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 05, 2006, 02:21:51 PM »

yeah, but your posts in there are very longand I have a short reading attention span

Sirbomber · « **Reply #5 on:** August 12, 2006, 07:12:34 AM »

You want new sats? How about the Mass Driver!

Betaray · « **Reply #6 on:** August 12, 2006, 10:09:31 AM »

if we have a mass driver, why dont we just use it to launch sub orbital long range artilery? lol

well thats what i would do if I had a mass driver lol

Stormy · « **Reply #7 on:** August 12, 2006, 10:57:15 AM »

I like the spy satelite idea. Freeza, I don't get what the point of looking at planetary fluxuations is.

Or, you could develop teleportation and just teleport explosives into your foe's CC's.
And then open a portal to Hell and accidentally get shipments of chainsaws and develop plasma guns and BFG's. Hmm. One out of 4 isn't bad.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #10 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:30:33 PM »

Artillery doesnt sound like a good idea. Why? Because if you ever played any game with some kind of artillery it is spammed like crazy.

Shadowcrystal_SG_CMD · « **Reply #11 on:** August 14, 2006, 03:48:52 AM »

well like in warhammer you can only build 3 long range artillary and i use them to try and kill the enemy but they can move out of the way if they are looking, and the special ablity of that particular artilary can DEVESTATE an enemy rly bad but it takes resourses to make that shell and fire it ONCE, lol

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2006, 05:12:20 AM »

Artillery isnt OP2/3ish

Tramis · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2006, 08:57:26 PM »

How about hunter killer satellites that latch onto the enemy's satellite after a random amount of time after launch, and blow it up. This could also be used to damage starship components, and if you attach to a damaged component it would then be destroyed. You could create a repair device which could repair damaged sections

Oh and Betaray, your mass driver artillery idea? you could do that in OP1 as a cheat code. It annihilated the entire Rebel colony. We'd have to scale that one down some.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2006, 09:34:18 PM »

i dont think messing the with the sats is a good idea

Skydock Command · « **Reply #15 on:** September 17, 2006, 07:14:55 AM »

I think its a good idea. We could have 3 new satalites.

1. Orbital Observer (spy satalite)
2. Communications/Navagational satalite
3. Laser Satalite (Huntter Killer)

lordly_dragon · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2006, 01:42:22 PM »

YOu know it is good that you try making new idea skydock... but please be more specific.

we could do A)

we could do B)

tell us why you think we should do a and b.

Communications/Navagational satalite

expain further thisone please....

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #17 on:** September 18, 2006, 02:29:54 PM »

I dont like the Idea of Hunter Killer sats you want to worry about the weapons on the ground not any thing in orbit.

If you mean A as in 1 you could use it to monitor your own colony. We could have them lunched when we first arive at Cythera and have our view as the Observer satalite.

If you mean A as 2 Part A, then you could use the Communication/Navagational Statalite to communicate in mulitplayer in an interface that opens when you activate it, this wouldnt be of use in single player, so it would also be a navagational satalite that provides the cowardent system for the map, multi and single player.

Im vary glad you think my idea was good lordly_Draggon.

I agree Fresa that there shouldnt be a Hunter Killer one but I just put it there to sugest a better name if it is used.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #19 on:** September 18, 2006, 05:19:00 PM »

What do you mean monitor your own colony you do all that stuff in the main window. The Navagation system is pointless as well because you move s*** around yourself.

Skydock Command · « **Reply #20 on:** September 19, 2006, 03:11:46 PM »

But the Orbital Observer could be the main window, and the navagational satalite could be what provides the quardentet systems.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #21 on:** September 19, 2006, 03:28:15 PM »

I dont think so.

Skydock Command · « **Reply #22 on:** September 19, 2006, 03:54:21 PM »

Ok then.

Combine Crusier · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2007, 09:59:53 AM »

The hunter seeker sat. could be made to eliminate asteroids / meteors instead.

Also another type of space payload (dubbed the Orion mining system) could be used to mine off world mines suchs as moons or asteroids. These wouldn't be in danger of attack due to their mobility. Also the Hadar sat. system enables players the ability to fire Emp charges at enemy sat's rendering them temporarily offfline but not blasted. This would allow the termite orbital system to capture enemy sat's.
Another sat. would be able to send power down to convec's causing them to build faster. And yet another sat. would be able to fire a laser that would make slopes for vehicles where cliffs were or it could be set to buldoze and area of 4 squares by 4 squares or even target individual vehicles NOT BUILDINGS!!

Very... strange.

This isn't Total Annihilation.
