I got the Monster Blues.

Has anybody else that downloaded the Devnullmod Mod had trouble with those darn Space Monsters?

I finally downloaded the Mod with monsters and started a game. Well as luck would have it, I was placed close (2 systems away) from the monster homeworld. Before I knew it I was knee deep in tiny and small monsters.
I managed to fight off those (with loss of a few colonys) and was congrating myself when I was attacked by even larger ones...
Well, I must admit that a fleet of SEVEN monsters glassed my homeworld.
After a few more battles, I am now down to a few colonys in system farther away from the monster homeworld.
Anybody ever beat those monsters?
How can they build so fast?

They're simply MONSTROUS, huh?

Late breaking news: I just tried to resettle my homeworld...fleet strenght: 1 colony ship,2 transports filled with weapon platforms and satellites,10 destroyers,2 frigates.
As I entered the system saw 1 large dragon,2 squid
and 1 huge worm. (worm 10mt )
Fleet destroyed dragon and 1 squid enroute and settled planet. losses: 1 frigate and 2 destroyers killed. 3 destroyers damaged.
WORM SPOTTED HEADING FOR PLANET!!!
Worm reached planet but wouldn't attack! (ran for corner) Fleet did not engage. (scared to!!!)
Worm then destroyed planet with planet destroying weapon. Planet in bits!!!
Remainder of fleet retreats in disgrace.
I SAY AGAIN, DID ANYBODY EVER BEAT SPACE MONSTERS?

Haven't beaten them yet, but soon will. I intend to detonate their home systems in a few turns=-)

I was lucky and started on the opposite side of the map. All the AIs have gone MEE on the monsters and have formed a massive alliance against them.

I've found that the monster PD can be fairly easily overwhelmed using external mount missiles. Once you get to about cap missile IV you can out-range them as well.

Oh, and watch out for monster intel, it gets really irritating...

I've yet to take on a worm, but I've seen the design and they look practically untouchable... thousands of shield points, thousands of armour points, regeneration ability... maybe with a few massive mount WMGs, but I think I'll just vapourise their homeworlds and watch them starve when their maintenence is cut off
