Malfador, any status on Space Monsters?

How about several type random monsters that only attack specific type planets or special tech races? each one programed for a specific type and this way you wouldn't know which one would show up. Examples. monster who only attacks say organic cultures, or only Oxygen type planets, or Methane Planets, or crystall cultures, etc. Could set up several which are picked at random for each game. This way when its in the game you wouldn't automaticaly know which type it was until it attacks. each monster/monster race would each have a different attack quality as to what it would attack.

just some ideas mac

[Q]

I like the idea of space monsters. But I think it would be unfair if they would attack only certain races. Make them move randomly from one warp point to the other and attack everything that lies in their path. And may be it should be a possibility to "tame/catch/board" them and then to use them yourself.

Some of us were discussing ways to do space monsters in an earlier thread.

And yes, I get really excited about space monsters. (Even if one DOES show up and eat most of my worlds sometimes)

How about nice space monsters that come along and protect one empire or another against other empires/space monsters?

[Q]

Sinapus this is a good idea IMO, if the space monster picks the weakest player to help.
