Mod idea: The Shrinking Galaxy

System Grav Shield prevents ALL WP manipulation on a system. WPs can't be opened to or from it, and they can not be closed to or from it.

Thanks Fyron, I didn't know you couldn't open a warp *from* a system protected by that facility. (And the description doesn't really help either)

Wydraz, I wasn't successul either with making a Warp Opener event. I'm not sure why it isn't working though.

To get around the fact that wps don't open randomly, you could "borrow" some code from the devnullmod and grab those WP-opening monsters. They can easily be made pretty much invulnerable to attack or capture, and if you were to strip away their weapons they could be reduced to simple map-meddlers.

Kinda like galactic earthworms (or termites

)...

make them worms.

I like that idea. How would one go about getting these galactic warp worms coded?

i was thinking the image. have no idea how you'd do the ai, although warp point would be an important part of the list. i was thinking, a few years ago, wormholes, big space worms. worms popped into my mind because of moo2 monsters. they had worms, i think. and now i babble. if i make a space strategy game, it will probably have worms that make worm-holes.
