I actually like the A2 planet system better, but only becuase it was more real. But whatever. Less crouding of the map I suppose....

there won't be orbiting stations in Fleet Operations (orbiting in the sense of moving stations, like the mining satellites in a2)
The Ciadan build small "Dysons Spheres" arround Moons to harvest them (they don't need frighters). Like all Ciadan stations, these Stations are armed, to.. therefore you have some kind of orbiting station there :-)

a few things
A) what happens with the spare can the moon only be mined by that or can minners use it aswell???
now that we have planets can we have some suns please???
C)I nearley reported what i'm about to say to doca lol

only the ciadan can build "dyson spheres" (they don't call them dyson sphere). they are automated, so they don't have crew. but if you assimilate or board the necessary ciadan ships you can build up one your self.

some NPC races do also use similar or other mining techniques.

Dyson Spheres, cool, mining dyson spheres, funny, how cool is that!

nope, if there is a "ciadan sphere" arround it (it is not called like that), no other player can mine from this moon. of course the sphere can be destroyed like every mining station.

Dear developer,

your planet models and textures are so great! Please let us colonize it You can make a game mode, like every player must defend his homeplanet. When the other race, destroy the planet will the game be over
Please include colonizeable planets in the game


p.s. My main language is german

hihi
sorry but there won't be colonisation in Fleet Operations. There will perhaps be several neutral stations, which orbit planets. i could think of a gamemode "defend your dilithium cracking facility" or something like this

kool maybe u can make it disable engines when u go near it so it could be like a killer black hole unless u capture it where it wont affect ur ships
