With hunting, im getting frustrated with the things about hunting that are being raised. The fact you are worried about not being able to "Search" for someone is b.s. You shouldn't be running around looking for targets. The reason you are having to do this is because scouts don't last and the reason why a 0.5 movement cost would seem alot is because you would have to lay scouts so often you would use all your SC scouting and none shooting. Yes, this is bad. But, imagine when we fix scouts so they last the 24 hours they are meant to (I believe that we have you to blame for the way they are kiky?
jk ).But when scouts last, less turns spent scouting, more turns to shoot. So if this is the case, to truely balance things, moving should cost more.
And kiky, about excavating, it does only take 1 SC to excavate. Selling the goods is called trading..
Alot of the sentiments building here too suggest to me that the universes we are playing in now are too big..
And kiky, can you please read my post..Your 40 sector rounds trip might take more SC, but the trades at either end might cost less at each end..
Scouting will take more turns, but you will do it less often (once per day unless someone kills your scout), but shooting will take less..
I'm not trying to change the amount of xp we make or the amount of stuff we get to do per day, i merely think a shift in balance needs to occur. More of some activities and less of others. Less moving, MORE trading. Less moving, MORE shooting. But yes, if your not clever it could result in less trading and less shooting. If implemented properly it shouldn't actually change the amount of xp or cash your make per day, it will just adjust the way you use your SC to make those gains.
