Making Rockets Useful

Post by Kerberos »

So at the moment, apart from winning the game, there is no point to launching a rocket. However late game there is very little (for me at least) to spend resources on. So here's the idea: Payloads. You build a specific satellite which provides an in-game bonus.

1: All Radar boost: Will increase the range of radars slightly for each satellite in order.
2: Personal Radar: Will act as a radar surrounding the player
3: Spot radar: Large coverage of a certain area.
3: Rods from god: Limited use (x10) orbital bombardment.
4: ... There's plenty more ideas.

If there is a reason to launch rockets then there is a reason to spend resources end-game.

I would suggest that sending satellite reveals underground resource location.

Instead of drilling one should send satellite and know exactly where mine patches underground are.
