Re: What to do with Nebulae Systems
 

Redundant post

I often destroy the nebula, and create a star. Later I come back and make a Ring World.

Re: What to do with Nebulae Systems
 

If you construct a ringworld, is there a way to turn it into a sphereworld later?

Re: What to do with Nebulae Systems
 

Moogles! Awesome.

No, you cannot destroy a Ringworld in the unmodded game.

However, if you mod the Tectonic Bomb to have an Ability 1 Val 1 := 6, then it will be able to destroy a Ringworld (which is the 6th entry in PlanetSizes.txt, as that is how this value works). Then, you could build a new star, and turn it into a Ring- or Sphereworld. But, it also creates an asteroid belt, which you can build a planet out of (before you build the SW). So, you could do this over and over to make tons of planets in one system (as long as you mod the Tectonic Bombs). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

You could also use it to hide a battle fleet. Most nebula's are impervious to sensors. So you could hide a large fleet inside.

Re: What to do with Nebulae Systems
 

Actually, only 1 of the 10 Nebula systems (both Storm and Nebulae entries in systemtypes.txt) is impervious to all scanners. Level 2 scanners will penetrate 8 of the types. Level 3 are required to penetrate 1 type.

Re: What to do with Nebulae Systems
 

Yes. A scanner can scan all cloaking of its level and below.

Wow! This thread brings back memories... That's my very first post down there. Thanks Fyron, for answering my first question! Also, you're the only one who recognizes me as a Moogle. Everybody else thinks I'm a potato pixie...
