seriously people...
why are (some of) you so afraid of this Virgo Project GB? if you look at the stats, you will see:
a) you only get FIVE whole chances (oh wow, that's really a lot!!) of only 66% chance (so that makes a "success" rate of 3 times average) per DAY! Yes, per day! And that is at level 50; level 1 is only 3!! chances!
b) are you sure people will want to waste these 5 precious chances on destroying your city defenses, if they are much more meaningful in using on mars expeditions instead (stronger def/harder AI)?
c) you can *plan* around plunderers by making sure you are online when your buildings finish; otherwise, you're inactive and *deserve* to be plundered imho
d) if inno designed the Virgo Project to be used primarily against your neighbors, you would have had more chances (or unlimited amount thereof) to do so. clearly, this GB does not seem to be designed for that kind of action and maybe some (in lower ages) will do so, but its value appears to be primarily targetted against VERY strong targets you only face a few times a day *only*. For lower age people this GB is more a 'gimmick' than a very useful tool against hardy foes
e) seriously, stop whining and start playing
Oh and about Stargazer, I think we'll find it *very* useful in the next age (Ceres), in this age I will not need it on live servers, I got seriously plenty VT stuff there
