Yeah I like that, it's great!

Give us our giant radioactive monkey first and then we'll talk about the Hubble Telescope.

i always laugh when i seen that the option of radioactive money...

i like the idea but...when i think of ... hmm...
i will come back to it...

I think it would be better with a different bonus, maybe if it gave every city a free scientist, or something along those lines.

The problem with free technology is that there aren't that many left in the game by the time you can build this. Maybe doubling the effect of observatories would be better? don't kow if that's doable in XML though...

No I don't think it is possible. You can double the effect of research in the city it is built in, but not your entire empire.

As for a hubble telescope wonder, I think that's a great idea. Could be many different combinations of bonuses that it can use. I think just a free tech is not enough IMO.

Perhaps Science version of the Sistien Chapal. I agree theirs not much left at this point in the game. The only realy "cool" thing of can think of is that it could effect the space race victory in some way. How dose this sound, the Scope lets you scope out AlphaC and gives you a headstart in actualy establishing that human colony so you get a window of turns (maybe 10) in which you are the only one who can win a space victory, everyone else is frozen out untill X turns after the Scope is built.

That's a great idea too but it would probably take the SDK to define new building XML parameters.

In the Occidental Sunrise MOD "Hubble" is a new technology.

What does the Hubble do in the real world? Its effect was to improve the research effectiveness of all observatories.

Not exactly, although it is very likely it helps to a certain extent, however, the main reason it was built was for NASA to be able to take higher resolution images of distant stars, nebulae, and galaxies.

Creating a Spiral Minaret like effect would be very hard to do as it currently works through Religion, consivably you could create a dummy religion and give it to the Observatory but this would be a very ugly solution.

A Sisten Chapal effect could easily be altered to Gold or Science in 5 minutes by changing some values in XML which is why I recomended it.

Infact this gives me an Idea, I think I will make Wall Street give +1 gold for all specialists.

 

[chef pablo]

how bout it creates the religion of scientology,were kinda missing the explosian of all the religion sects in the latter part of the 20 century.maybee do some other wonders on that same line of thinking.

 

[Cannae]

Plese NEVER say that word again i would HATE to have scientology to be in this game .arn't there any alteritives you could possably do???

 

[Agent 009]

I agree with Slavic. Scientology isn't a religion. It's a biased and quite opinionated methodology to describe how the universe works. It's just as bad as Dianetics.
