Requesting feedback on 'Expansion Pack'

Hey, for a ghost ship, you should have it use only the most basic tech: DUCs, shield 1s, ion engines, armor 1, etc.
But, give it a "ghost hull" shipsize, that gets an inherent 1000% defence bonus, so everybody has a real tough time hitting it.
For missiles, put a PDC on it with zero reload and 1 range, called ghostly aura. Any missile or fighter will be killed instantly as soon as they approach.

The only way to kill this ship would be with a talisman, or to ram it and suffer damage.

NICE ghostship idea. I like!

Maybe make the REALLY dangerous ghost ship have boarding parties / allegiance subverters, so it can expand its fleet of the dead?

Give the ghost ship hull cloaking too! What if you captured one?

[CheshireKatt]

That's why we'd need a setting to specify which monsters are capturable and which aren't. You shouldn't be able to capture the ghost ship, just destroy it (which'd be tough, to say the least).

I kind of miss the Space Monster event from MOO. I especially like the ghost ship idea. I think that monsters definately need to have a setting for whether or not they can be boarded, doesn't make sense to try and board a giant amoeba.

I like a lot this game (the only one I'm playing from the moment I get my original CD!) but there are things I would like to see in a new patch or expansion pack ...

Little things:

- the possibility to have reports system by system (facilities, construction yard)
- the possibility to have planets ordered by dimension
- a sort of "military report" in Civ II style (number of ships of each type still active and dead ... and so on)
- the possibility to set destination points everywhere and not only on warp points
- a sort of equilibrium between the different
resource ... making also important to construct organic and radioactive mining colony.

Big Things:

- A better manual; expecially a good explanation of strategic combat
- A modder manual

bye bye
