I had a mine at 18:9 on earth, but it has disappeared.
I look in the battle reports, and find a few minor raids, eg battle Id 228, but nothing more recent
I do not think I salvaged it, so why do I not have it anymore.

I also think I should get a message whenever one of my assets is destroyed by enemy action.

It means some of your units have been destroyed.
But you are not told about it in a message, which I think is bad

The game is advertised as PvP, not everyone working together to defeat NPCs.
Monsters represent bad-luck events which destroy players through no fault of their own, which will drive them from the game.
Raiding unescorted transports is fine, destroying everything at a location is crazy.

A hauler and a transport have no orders this morning. They were set to loop 5 times, which I expect they have completed, but the list of orders should not have disappeared.

When I look at Shrock, it has a factory producing EXOTIC plants, but when I mouse over the icon on the left of the screen, it says RARE plants

I might be stupid, or there is a bug
Mysterious AX, you wrote earlier
"and OMG the mysterious puzzle gave you coordinates that could of been two different locations! Because it put it in a line. I have to prevent the puzzle from making all 3 coordinates have the same X or Y values"

My puzzel has all Y values the same

Planet Name: Nth 3 ( K E N F D E D T P M I T R O U Q G N S C E )
Distance: ( 29 , 21 , 14 , 8 , ? )
Coordinates:
( 48 , 24 , 24 , 12 , ? ) : ( 4 x 1 ) + ? = 11
( 4 x ? ) + 5 = 65 : ( 1372 , 196 , 98 , 14 , ? )
9 x ( ? - 7 ) = 99 : 6 x ( ? - 7 ) = 0


Neptune, distance 3
12 - 7
15 - 7
18 - 7

Manufacturing expensive Jewelry, is too expensive

No need to allpw multiple shipments, 1 per contract is enough
Will be very useful for trading Mysterious units which are not easily valued.

Most games do not allow players to change their name.
Some people are keen to have offensive names, allowing names to change every 10 mins will require a lot of GM effort. Much easier to just check names when they are created, rather than every turn.

Perfect routes should be very hard to maintain, otherwise the game is too easy

Terrain only matter to new players, by the time you have mid-sized structures then you should be defending yourself, not relying on Terrain

Attacks are much too fast. Only a 10% chance that the game even sends you a message to tell you that you are under attack, so virtually no chance of reacting.
edited by Zip555 on 5/6/2017

Something like,
Attack happens, game sends a message to defender
6 turn pause (1 hour)
second round of attack

Give people a chance to influence a fight, they might as well be resolved in 1 turn at the moment

Strategic Orbits
Can defenses and ground units be put in them? If only ships then that will make defenses almost useless. If you want to defend 4 places on a planet you have to build 4 sets of defense, a singe fleet in an Orbit will do the job much more efficiently

An orbital Gun + starbase will mean that one player completly owns a planet, he will be almost invincible on it. I presume Earth will not have these structures as that could be the end of the game.

Almost instant movement to anywhere in the galexy does not sound good to me. If they came in pairs giving super-fast movement betwwen 2 fixed points it would be better.
