A few ideas for Modders

[Suicide Junkie]

1) Units suck as sats don't keep track of individual component damage. Also, "destroyed on use" dosen't work for weapons yet.
So the best you could do is have a 30 reload rate.

2)Would be cool, but requires hardcode changes by MM.

3) One Baseship, a WP opener V, and a WP closer. Open the point, send a ship/fleet through, close the point. Leave the baseship in place.

4) Missiles can't have ECM, and they are guaranteed to hit. You can make them faster and/or stronger, but not with a mount. You have to copy the components.txt entries.

5) In an older Version, you could see the shield effect protecting the planet. In an even older Version, the shield was ship sized .
Now, the shot just dissapears when it hits the planet without causing an explosion.

6) Hardcode, unless you want to have a human player control a space critter empire (try using the Nomads from my mod, with a space-critter shipset.

Space monsters have been suggested quite often; search the forums for "monster". Here's one thread dedicated to them, which has links to earlier discussions:

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
