Pure Energy

This is another new race I just finished.
Someone mentioned they had some pure energy race. Any good AI and descriptions to finish this race?

they look cool, very electric i guess it would be hard to add more detail, but i guess pure energy would look something like that

Re: Pure Energy
 

Name := Ghizrea
Description := The Ghizrea are a superior race of pure energy beings, that decided to move into the physical plane to study other races.
Empire Name := Ghizrea
Empire Type := Eternity
Emperor Name := Necaak
Emperor Title := High Mind
Biological Description := The Ghizrea are pure energy beings. They interact with objects by transforming energy into matter at will. There are no sexual distinctions, they reproduce by fission. When one of these beings is filled to his capacity with knowledge, a small section of energy is drained of all information and allowed to separate from the parent. They prefer non-atmosphere planets because atmospheric gasses seem to interfere with their energy transmissions.
Society Description := They are believed to be a superior race native of another dimension, and that some of them have come here to study the native races of our physical plane. They are believed to have almost limitless powers, but as a part of their study, they restrict themselves to the same resources available to other races.
General History Description := Although they are extremely wise and powerful, they are also very naive. They have only been in our plane of existence for a few centuries, and have little experience in dealing with other races. Although no incident has been recorded yet, scholars theorize that that makes them extremely unpredictable, especially considering have nothing to fear and in the worst of cases could simply return to their native dimension and that they are also supposed to be able to destroy any race at will.

Very nice. I was thinking that the big explosion animation could show the Ghizrea returning to their home dimension, sort of a field of energy sparks coming together, then moving through a portal or spacefold of some sort.

It impress upon the other races the futility of attacking: they cannot ever really destroy any Ghizrea, just force a temporary retreat back home http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

Hmmm... That can be hard to mak and I like the explosion I'm using now. I'll try.
That was really an excuse for a supposed superior race having the poor AI files I'm making.

Great shipset!

I'm a little off topic here, but just because they are from a different dimension doesn't neccesarily mean they would be superior. They would still have to obey the physical laws of this universe while in this universe. The fact that they were able to move between dimensions would not by definition mean they would be better at manipulating matter in this dimension. They could probably come up with a bunch of really awesome weapons from their dimension, but as long as they are here, they would have no effect on natives from this realm.

You could also explain their lack of superiority by saying it was some phenomenon beyond their control that brought them here, and they dont' really have the power to come and go as they wish.

Re: Pure Energy
 

As an energy race from another dimension and seeing that they can travel between dimensions, my opinion only, would be that they would have some type of wormhole bonus, ie; starting with that tech of opening & closing or maybe not affected by mines when going thru a wormhole, etc, I do agree with superior Intel, but cunning would be lower then most AI do to them being naive, physical strength low, Diplomacy could go either way depending on how naive you want to make them, since they are pure energy, maybe affected by certain criteria, ie; ion storms, etc,
in a system or anything that could affect/enhance a pure energy race, tho I don't know how you would do this or if its possible to mod in a game.

Maybe a built in defense against non-energy type weapons or something similiar.

sounds good

just some ideas mac
