Proposal: Transit Time

Timed out 1 vote to 1. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 08 Jan 2015 15:29:19 UTC

If the proposal “A Day in Space” has been enacted, append the text “A Shuttle cannot both Maneuver and use a Magnetic Booster on the same day or in the same 10-hour period.” to the rule “Magnetic Boosters”.

Accidentally broken by “A Day In Space”.  Riding a Magnetic Booster is supposed to ‘use’ all your Thrusters.

against Unintentional, but seems harmless.

Harmless, until someone ambushes you from another planet.

Ambush? What bad thing could a shuttle do?

Hijack a proxy, mainly.  The original purpose of the delay is simply to guarantee that if a Shuttle is on a different Moon, you don’t have to worry about them today.

I’m still not seeing a situation where you could come from another planet and completely mess up another player’s strategy (under the current rules) in one day. If you boost to another moon and then move to a spot with a proxy and move the proxy with your knock-on, then how does that affect other players? (Especially considering any Shuttle who could have moved that proxy has, barring weird corner cases, missed or used up their chance to do anything with the proxy at that point.)

Cause the Proxy to leave a Hivemind.
