Re: The non-warship challenge
Kay, so, what are the rules so far? Ships, weaponless, full of cloaks and shields, is point defense a weapon or a defense?
Planets can have any weapons they want. Sats and mines at warp points. Fighters can fly around a system, but if you use carriers, aren't they just semi-intelligent missiles?
Stellar manipulation all you want. Well, rushing to the turtling stage is one possible goal. TDM Modpack AI's will start opening warp points regularly -- and they put weapons on their manipulator ships.
Using intel can be interesting. But it's been done. With god-like cunning, you can do anything to the AI.
In a current TDM-Modpack game, I'm generating cloaking storms over some planets in a system I share with the Pyrochette. Maybe if they can't see me, they'll be friendly.
