Re: Space monsters
lol. This is a good idea atomannj!
Two ways you could do it. One would be as an event. You won't actually see the space monster attack, but you will get a log message at the beginning of your next turn...
"A hideous space monster attacked Ghedron V! 4 million colonists were eaten. The creature disappeared back into space and we were unable to follow it." or something like that.
Another way would be to treat it like a storm. You could actually make a picture of it then that would show up on the system display. Any ship entering that sector would receive damage or be destroyed depending on how you had it set up in the .txt file.
Onfortunetly neither way is going to allow for a creature that can move around and attack different places. Also there won't be any way to try and kill it in tactical. Although you could design a component that would allow you to destroy one if you went with the monster as a storm idea.
