This is the third time I've had a planet stolen then fluxed away so I can't get it back. Conquered then hidden, With no chance at recovery. That is horse crap since I dumped transformers and other high value items onto i had it cloaked with a chronshifter and someone found it stole it and made it disappear.

Put a limit on the planet flux so that if it's recently conquered it cant simply be disappeared without a chance for reprisal.

planet fluxes have been dropped in rate of appearance...soon people will only use them for insanely high value planets anyway.

this is the point of the artifact, its meant to be used this way. Its a tough sh*t situation.

Agreed with you on that point the flux is made for this purpose, however in the past you could at least hack them back for 24 hr to get it back. Now they only have to evade 5 hacks and their clear sailing. That’s were the flaw is. I agree with both your statements, fluxs are made for that very purpose...but their needs to be a little better chance in retrieving the planet back. Perhaps if you invade a person’s planet the stealer should get a 10 or 20 hack boost on their ship....just to increase the odds of someone getting it back. still slim but at least they have a chance, were it is now 5 hacks and well most likely bye-bye.

Then perhaps count invasions as 2-5 "offensive actions" and therefore increase the times you could hack/disable them? (this can even work with attempted invasions not just successful ones)

Just raise your cloak on planets and flux probe them often.

If you get fuxed often ... Then you got to think that you are doing it wrong before thinking the game as a flaw.

It's like all these people with no scan on their ships complaining about getting hacked ...
