Sorry for misunderstanding, I thought you meant every how many days, but anyways, I mean every 3 days.

50% would be on normal environment, the other 50% is divided among special environment in opposite of their lucrative boost (weighted).

Speaking of which: Can Attractors be disabled for daily/weekly? Because they increase your reach for food, which are worth 3 times the amount ever since the change. You shouldn’t be relying on them to win.

The way to make challenges could be (almost) perfectly balanced, as all things should be is by predetermining exactly the same equipments & the amount of them for all players. Thus, player just have to play, no complain.

Good idea!
My vote would be BX-9, Moron :zap:0, no equipment.

Although the way to make it perfectly balanced would be to have pre-defined ſhip movements and egg drops.

Bruh. Randomized equipment common to everyone isn’t the end of competition. Although the balance stuff in the game is being taken too far, you know, apart from actually adding stuff.

Not really. Coming up with a suitable slot layout for each mission is part of the game. That’s why slots are limited – so there are trade-offs.

Any particular combination that confers an advantage is freely available to all players, so the playing field still remains even.

This is for Satellites: Is it possible to make it so that you can replace your partially consumed satellite with a floating full ammo satellite if you move over it with that satellite? It has to be the same type of satellite though.

Like, so you don’t have to blast it all away and then end up wasting your time because the full ammo satellite has already vanished.

Can you also add a warning for Comet Chase missions? Have it display this at the bottom of the screen for the first wave:
“Tip: An omnidirectional weapon is strongly recommended.”

Here’s a potential in-game effect for Frozen Wastelands:

There are random snowballs (density will range from 20% of asteroids wave in 0% difficulty to 75% of asteroids in 140% difficulty) which will slow down your ship to the point of a normal BX-9 and reduce the power of all fire type weapons by 25% (eg, Ion Blaster, Vulcan Chaingun, Laser Cannon, etc)
In return, it will cool down your weapons down all the way but the effect will last for 3-7 seconds depending on difficulty.

As always, the numbers are adjustable if you want, and may the forks be with you all!

Does anyone think about the droids raid mission to have their own music theme just like darkness and retro invaders mission ?

I don’t know, droid raid&retro invaders have the same music since CI4 and Darkness is a new mode that is only in CIU.

Darkness doesnt even have a real theme, I like the current sound but its just 23-4 seconds and adds almost nothing to the mission. I expected more.

What if the satellites are more likely to get out of an alien container with less ammunition as the difficulty increases.

@InterAction_studios how about making taking out an equipment from a slot by right-clicking the mouse

That was already suggested, here and here
Even if it was already suggested, i still like it.

About the squadron menu, can this the rephrased to “Are you sure you want to remove this member?”

Now that is just cursed.

I’d suggest changing the last part to:
“ICBM rockets take some time to reach optimal ignition speed, so their strategic use is of prime importance.”

As for…

I think that can spice up the challenges a bit more. Darkness effect can also be included.
I’d say a random one for each mission, but the easy one should not get the lightning and darkness effect. As for weekly… Don’t use darkness or massive. (But it’s still an option if you want to)

As for frequency… Everyday? Although I’d suggest adding a bit of flavour text to reflect on the environment effects for that mission that’s to be expected. Here’s all the possibilities I can list:

If the challenge will have Massive + Hot:
"This will take place near the Sun of “name of star system”.

If the challenge will have Massive + Electric:
“You will be positioned at a geologically unstable area.”

Massive + Frozen:
“Be sure to winterize your windshield so it doesn’t crack under the intense cold and gravity.”

Massive + Darkness:
“Pursue the closest wormhole, where the Henpire are escaping to.”

Frozen + Electric:
“Violent Storms are rampaging in this area.”

Frozen + Darkness:
“This Frozen Wasteland is surrounded by thick clouds of dark matter.”

Electric + Darkness:
“Constant Storms have disrupted the dark matter in that area.”

Hot + Electric:
“Temperature Fluctuations and Storms are to be expected.”

Hot + Darkness:
“A Dying Star is nearby. Be sure to leave immediately after you’ve completed your mission so you won’t be caught in the blast!”

If it’s just Hot/Cold:
“Expect some extreme temperatures.”

If it’s Electric:
“High levels of Electricity surround this area.”

If it’s just Darkness:
“High amounts of dark matter have accumulated in that constellation.”

Just Massive:
“Gravitational Fluxes are present in this area.”

Try to do that if possible?
