How about instant travel between coordinates using a new type of space folding technology, but make these ships so damned expensive, but open to being attacked on a recycle mission. The gamble being, istnat travel but at a risk of being ninja'd at its destination. Perhaps 50 million metal to build along with other equally large amount of other resources, plus at great fuel costs. Say, two million deut per ship over the entire galaxy. The benefits being instant grabbing of your ill gotten gains.

Not likely to happen, there is not enough time to even write a simple post, about what is happening.

Be honest with yourself, you know if it requires any time it is extremely unlikely to happen.

Okso when will this happen:? It was approved months ago

In zorg fashion it has to go through "processing" "testing" then "Implementing" So the ETA is...never.

Cheers, it'd be nice to see ze post some updates though. Surely they've at least got an image and stats, it'd take less than 5 minutes

Elite Recycler has been introduced in Massacre Universe. After a short beta test there (remember to report any malfunctions), we will move it to all other universes as well.

Here is the final shape of the ship. We had to tweak only slight things in the end (tech requirements, we added +4 shield, we reduced proposed RF values to make it a bit more durable at fights) which means that the design was very good. Therefore we want to congratulate all players involved and especially Istalris who also helped in organizing all the ideas.


Name Elite Recycler
Technology Requirements

Ship Yard (Level 8)
Combustion Engine (Level 14)
Armor Technology (Level 14)
Zorg Physics (Level 5)


With the advancement of empires within the Zorg universe, battles between leaders were becoming more and more ferocious. Debris fields on epic scales were becoming common place, even the emperors with vast fleets at their command were struggling to efficiently collect the materials remaining after battle. With the new understanding of Physics, the best scientists of the universe banded together to create a super efficient new recycling vessel, realising that the spatial shielding required to fly among debris fields was a waste of energy, they developed a new metallic alloy to allow these vessels to be fitted with advanced armour that provided protection from flying debris and radiation at a greater efficiency than energy shielding. Though this allowed them to be deployed at a lower cost to the emperor in command, it also made them extremely vulnerable to all types of plasma based weaponry.

Rapid Fire Against Espionage Ship 5

Metal: 750.000
Crystal: 300.000
Deuterium: 100.000

Structure points 1.050.000
Shield Strength 5
Attack Points 1
Cargo Capacity 2.000.000 Units
Base Speed 2.000
Fuel Consumption (Deuterium) 15.000

The most important thing worth mentioned - as a manual - are the controls at the galaxy screen.

According to available recyclers, up to two options appear. As you can see, when both types are available, the user will get to choose which type to send. In this case, you got to remember, that the engine will always disregard any recyclers already on route. So, it will aways send the recs number for the whole debris.

Finally, the legend at the bottom keeps track of the available recyclers, separately.

Cheers thanks ze

IT EXISTS!!!!

The mythical elite recycler finally has been spotted.

MUHAHAHA.

FINNALY !! IT`s HERE !!
