Planetary Zip Line
What if there was a way to make a rail or "zip line" between two planets. Basically all it would do is increase the speed of slaves on this zip line by X% but the slaves can only travel along this line unless you disconnect them from this.
Max it at 7 or whatever per galaxy so people cant build lines to every planet.
Slaves can travel along any line as long as it on the planet they are looking to depart from.
Make different kinds with different increases in speed. Copper can be like a 3% while platinum coated could be +12%.
No graphic is needed unless it wouldnt be hard to put in, except them you would need slaves to sorta follow this graphic.

Re: Planetary Zip Line
Make it take a base slot at each planet?

Re: Planetary Zip Line
I know there are highway drones but this was more a suggestion of optimization around ones galaxy. Your slaves would be dedicated to traveling to only planets connected on this zip-line web, in return they get a size able speed boost.
For example, your proddy base needs rations from another planet. You setup a zip line between the two and the slaves gets a 50% speed increase but only travels between the proddy and ratio base.

Re: Planetary Zip Line
Highway-like Drones. Short range aura, boosts speed heavily.
Freeway-like Drones. Long range aura, boosts speed poorly.
Zipline-like Attached Drone. Short range aura, massive speed boost to slaves do runs that has to do with the bases ont he planet attached to. Biggest bonus, and requires station mastery and high tech. Or medium bonus.
Concept is nice, but I think a series of (nearly) system wide aura drones would be a greater benefit.

Re: Planetary Zip Line
Umm how about attached highways that apply a tweak of +x% speed for x time. Instead of how current highways work where they run in and out of the aura in seconds, and only retain the bonus for like 3 seconds.

Re: Planetary Zip Line
It'd be cool seeing this particle graphic line going between two planets but logical answer goes to shawn. Have it so the drone is attached to the planet and gives a speed, agility boost for like 20s or until the ship docks.

Re: Planetary Zip Line
Perhaps an alternative would be to have a buildable item that cannot be removed (kind of like ablative armor) called a Control Tower.
The control tower generates an aura that increases ship speed and gives a docking bonus within a certain radius of the base. Building commods should include gravity controllers, fembots, cyborgs, and personal computers, and it should be locked to the base.

Docking isn't relevant with slaves any more (they dock at any speed), but still it's a damn good suggestion Kanga
