"Z-axis" planet

July 6, 2009 10:35:03 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

We had some friends over on the 4th and did a couple "Comp stomp" LAN games.  On the second game, I noticed I had sent a cap (The egg) and some frigs to take it over.  The ships looked like they were at the planet, but they weren't.  As I zoomed in, suddenly I was seeing a terran and a asteroid.

When I looked at it from the side I saw what was going on.  The terran planet was vertically linked to the asteroid and sat above the other planets in the plane.

Now, I eventually got the ships to get to the terran planet, however once there, ships were trapped and couldn't leave.

Has anyone else ever seen this?

all the time actually. but my forces never got trapped...

 

I once saw twin ice planets vertically linked and the owner was using it as a hidden production area.

Yeah, the ships couldn't hardly get to the planet.  I diable "Group jump" and the frigs shot up right away, the cap didn't arrive till I had lost most of my frigs.  Then nothing could leave.  I have 8 trade ships flying around below the planet unable to leave with cargo...

I actually made a map with GalaxyForge that had 4 planets around each star, and there were 2 stars above and below one another. I then connected all the planets, but not to the stars.

So, it was literally a cube.

After I restarted my computer, though, it loads with overlapping planets now.

It would be very cool to be able to set the Z-axis so they weren't so close to cause glitches and problems jumping.
