Now for my suggestions for future Versions of P&N:
There have been many very good ideas for space monsters
in this thread.
Adding a new racial trait "is a monster"/"not a monster" would work well with P&N. Give them their own really nasty tech tree. IIRC, there have been some problems with the monster planets. I tried to give facilities the self-destruct ability once, but that didn't work. Whether or not it would be possible to make AI controlled space monsters, it would still be great to make them player controlled. Either just for fun to terrorize the helpless AI races in the role of a monster in a solo game
, or (even better) think of a PBW game where one player plays as a monster and harasses the other players...
. Give him some planets hidden in nebulae, the goal of the other players would be to make the galaxy monster-free. The one who destroys the main monster lair will be the winner. Other scenarios are possible with several monster races competing against each other... whatever.
Maybe it would be worth to revive this idea. I would love it
.
