So apparently not only can you get 2 types of government officials on the same planet but someone in my legion posted this screenshot:



It would seem you can even get 2 of the same type. The question is then, what is the max?

I'm willing to bet that there isn't one. Although it would take a long time, you'd eventually reach a point where all of your planets had the max amount, and therefore the ability would become useless.

Right...... because this ability wasn't already useless on planets like the above shown....

i own over 500 planets, at 1 drop per 40 hours...ill let you do the maths.... useless....when sun becomes a chunk of coal the size of a softball?

Useless like corruption based cloak items?

Useless like too many crystals?

hmmmm..

as a side note, i've used the ability 4x so far and ironically gotten 2 guys on the same planet already...research and cloak....mabe its a local hotspot?

list off all the planet structures / effects on that planet .. maybe the officials can be 'lured' like Pokemon ??

Pitch's example is a VL Demon with a sulcation portal.

but the officials could also be tied to planet types, like planetary blockades.

sure abdundant/5x/er ave size terra

2 hyperforges
proc core trelith relay
2 space elevators
hypergate
2 stations
toxic plant

got research first, then cloak (technocrats, then inquisitors)

Sorry, I had a poor choice of words. How about "unusable"?

"Random"? Does anyone else have any planets similar to this? I've got two planets that have received an over-abundance of prismatic recruits.

I've had the recruit ability for ~145 days, so I've been able to activate the ability ~72 times.

Five recruits have gone to only one planet , which is 7% of my activations. Three recruits have gone to another, which is 4%...

So 11% of my Recruits have gone to two planets. I have ~500 planets overall. It might be neat if the planets were worth a damn, but they're not.

I believe the most I have on any planet is two.

There's your problem. You have crappy planets.

tru dat...my worst is ultra rich...and constantly moving to upgrade...i do notice it seems many of the recruits hit 20x or better planets...could be luck..but not complaining..

on topic, i only have 1 planet with 2 so far..excess randomness?

Why the requirement of being at least Rank 1500 to get this medal?

Some players are very slow ranking.

Some people are playing the game wrong.

^ This. The game requires certain conditions for rewards whether it be ranks, medal points, etc. Rank 1500 for this is by no means an unreasonable requirement. Can't say I'm surprised you would think it is, this coming from the one who complains about clicking too much to find NPC's or that it takes 6-8 hours to scan 20 planets for a LM task

i think the requirement is to prevent people from getting these rewards instantly after a reset, imagine a rank 20 with a prismatic and the ability, almost nobody averages out on a new planet every 2 days so are almost garanteed to have officals on almost all your planets with multiples on the oldest ones if you have it available from the start

i just got the 5.year medal in october and i am nobody's idea of a speed.ranker ... but i am already closing in on rank 1700. so i don't think a rank 1500 restriction for a 6.year player is at all onerous, or at all bad for the game.

between that rank restriction, and the deck restrictions of some of the newer missions, it is obvious that Dan is trying to get more players into the higher rank ranges in order to justify developing content for those rank ranges. each player has to decide for themselves if they are willing to make gameplay trade-offs in order to access those goodies that are currently out of reach. choice is good.

So was trying to use the Prismatic Domain ability and it turns out that either there is a glitch or it costs some amount of energy. I happened to be at zero at the time and got the "you don't have enough energy" message. I tried again at 5, 10, 25, 100 and still nothing. So in the morning I'm going to see how much energy the ability actually uses....

I just used it and it didn't cost any energy. I then hit an NPC, my energy went down by 5 and still Domain had cost no energy.

It's entirely possible that Dan had, at one point, intended for the ability to use energy, but then later decide that it should be free - and he's simply forgotten to remove the current energy check. Alternatively, it's possible that it's supposed to cost energy, but Dan forgot to make it deduct energy and everyone's been getting it free all this time.

Either way, something needs fixed.

Came here to see how much it costs to use the Prismatic Domain ability, didn't see it. It does cost 1000 energy to use the ability.
