hello fellow starlords and gm's,
Despite many suggestion in the past from all over the world from other members, not much balance is to find among classes. For example, the discover class is by far still the best.
As a veteran player (not pro) Here some things and thoughts, I would change. First some class balance, despite reward events that gives a free class change. Many rookie players, still choose the collector class. Why? On paper the bonus it provides is juicy too new players. But servers has economy and fly speed and nuch more, also it is a pvp game, making this class eventually the worst out of the 3. With these changes below, I hope to provide better bonuses and make it easier for some classes to recover after an attack. (Everything written is done on mobile)

Next to class balance I also thought about planetary defenses.
Now planetary defense do nothing when your Moon is under attack.
Maybe when reaching level 17 in laser technology. "Thanks to your outsanding laser technology knowledge, all planetary defenses have been vastly improved and now cover a larger area than before." 25% from your Planetary defenses helps your moon in combat. These defenses cannot be destroyed by attacks on your moon. 25% of your moon defenses helps your defenses off your planet under an attack, moon defenses cannot be destroyed by attacks on your planet.
