 I thought you could only build ringworlds around stars? |

Re: Storms and tricks with \'em
If you build a storm over a star, it will obscure any ships in the sector. I forget if it obscurs the star too or not.

Re: Storms and tricks with \'em
NO KIDDING!?! any type of storm over a star and the enemy can't see my ships in that system??
Amazing! are you sure? wow.
Anyone ever tried putting a shield nullifying (sp) storm over a colony? Planets don't have sheilds but ships do right? so eliminating the ships sheilds seems like a good idea.

Re: Storms and tricks with \'em
You find yourself in a system where you are out classed by local forces
If there is is a damaging storm (or asteroid field)
If you can reach it befor they reach you
You will loose but the other ships might be damaged also.
I assume this type of damage does not skip shields so this tactic is not very useful once they are wide spread. Still it shows spunk.

If I'm not mistaken if there is a storm that eliminates shields in a certain sector then all items in that sector have no shields, planets, ships, bases, etc...

Oooo, no it won't. The star will be visible, and will always be on top in the system view. So unless you happen to notice the little number 2 that showed up on a certain turn next to the star, or happend to click on the star for some reason, you wouldn't even see the storm. Slick trick.

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but I meant sight obscuring storms, not just any storm. |
