Awhile back I noticed that the Phoenix class would be consumed by colonizing the planet. At first I hated the idea but as I played and thought about it more I grew to like it. I understand that when a new planet was colonized the ship would be used for material. I didn't think it was a bug but a choice and was wondering if there was any chance it would be put back in.

AFAIK, there have been problems implementing this into the game, so for now, the idea has been, for the most part, scrapped.

completely scrapped... this breaks the AI (it won't ever use the colonize ability), so it won't be used... sorry...

It might work better if you were given option to do both like to just colonise with a minor settlement and have the ship continue on colonising but if u want to go all out for a full infrastructured colony then the colonyship would be used as raw materials.
It just occured to that since the Forerunners are world builders their colonisation ability should convert almost any planet to M class or again have it as a separate option since Mars remained a desert world in cryptum as a small mining colony so they dont make a habit of making every rock M class (Mutara class- Earth like).

Hopefully we arent stopped by hardcoding. The forerunner idea sounds like a really good one

That sounds super OP I love it.

Coding wise I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

Well In theory you COULD make it so the planet has all the economics of a terran planet, but without changing the appearance.

Like an asteroid with 300 population.

[Dianno5741]

I guess, You could do that, I could also develop nova bombs to be shot out novalith canons. I COULD ALSO EAT RAINBOWS AND POOP BUTTERFLYS BUT THATS NOT HAPPENING EITHER!!!!!!

XD

[VDNKh]

inb4 supercarrier that fires nova bombs.

[Unikraken]

That has already been suggested. Peeps want Infinity to do that. lol. Nevergonnahappen.png

[Defender0]

The NOVA bomb: the new thing people ask about instead of the plot device supercarrier.

[Emberblaque]

Yeah it's weird, it seems like people actually stopped asking about the Covie supercarrier.

[KhevaKins]
