Val: Re: Raiders Home Worlds - Could you not create tiny/small planets using bmp's of the existing Asteroid Belts (small/large).These would then represent hollowed out Asteroids, or old mined out asteroids. You could then give these "planets" certain abilities that would hide them (occupied status)from other players unless they either visited the asteroid or had the correct scanners.
You would have to give Raider Space Stations a low level cloaking ability

if placed in Asteroid belts, maybe even give then a movement option say one per turn.
You could give the raiders a special ability that would enable them to fit more colonist on these "planets".

Other players could colonise these planets but would not be able to colonise to the same level.
Because you are using the same bmp's used for regular Asteroid Belts they would appear to be just another Asteroid unless you paid closer inspection.
You could use that Under Ground Refuge City bmp to represent their home base..?

(BMP's Oct21st)
