Would you rather have planet destroying asteroids, or no asteroids at all?

How about three times WHY?!

Really, I don´t see your points!
1st: The annihilaser was previously kind of OP. It´s now a little bit nerved.
2nd: No idea what this shall mean---are you talking of binary gameplay there?! You either own an asteroid or not? Well, I wouldn´t say it´s only down to these to cases...
3rd: Well, not more imba then one thruster moons back then; and in opposite to back then you´ve now got the "race to asteroid"-stuff in there! Oh, and I´m sure you can improve on that!

I´d add one thing:

• More reasons to rework interplanetary nukes and thrusters! (targeting on moving stuff is pretty **** right now!)

But that´s the only one I´ve got...

In my opinion this does not invalidate the annihilaser as an asteroid smash is a one time thing, whereas an annihilaser can remove an entire systems worth of planets.

What was the point of this poll? To question if the last few weeks of development were a waste?

*facepalm*

Well if nothing else I think it proves @jables point for him given the results vocal minority is vocal...

I don't think asteroids were the main issue. I think people were more disappointed in the disappearance of craters. However, if it doesn't work and they don't have a fix "c'est la vie."

Some people in another thread were citing an irrelevant poll to state that the community didn't like the current implementation of asteroids, so I felt a new poll was needed to show that the community would rather have asteroids than not have them.

People were not complaining about asteroids overall, but about mechanics, gameplay. Nobody wants to delete them overall.

Edit.

Like I said, we were not complaining that asteroids exist, but about GAMEPLAY. Nobody ever said that we should not put asteroids at all. This poll is useless overall, Jables just said that right now they cant rewrite entire thing.

Well I think you need to view it from New player experience...

Asteroids do make sense, they spawn in, you strap a big engine into it, fly it into a planet, kaboom planet disappears in giant fiery ball of death and you shout 'awesome!'...

The old system on the other hand, you strap loads of engines into a moon, fire it at planet (have to target twice which is kinda weird), planet loops around Sun, kinda does some strange last minute wiggle to line up, smashes into patent and poof, gone with some smoke and leaves a small crater which units can walk over and bad guys are still on planet.. you shout 'uh what?'....

I know gameplay wise why people like the crater system- it has great potential but it just wasn't there. Asteroids are simpler, but look awesome and work well.

Yeah, it works, but anyone that plays this game and knows something see how this duplicate planet smash. Probably one thing it will be good is to end much faster games where one player dominates others in a moment when asteroid appears. Games will be overall shorter or focused from time to time on asteroids. It adds up to gameplay a little, but yeah, we could have something more.
