Default Re: Some of my ideas and questions

thanks why am i up?? oh well some new stuff
did i mention all space monster ships and compnents heal over time and share exp
M.D cannon :yaknow form enders game

Psionic cloak field: a cloak that requires less supplys but for psychics

Temporal claok rovides a level of cloak only temporal sesnors detect as it exists in another time


New bug stuff again for space monsters

Pnumatized carapace:adds bonus movement and counts as armor but requires rad

Photsynthsis glands:generates supplys from stars

Crystalline carapce:when hit turns damage to sheilds

Any ideas on how to put supernovas in the game?it would suck you into the center but the center would not destroy only damage you but then in a few turns it would turn to either a Nuetron star or black hole

M.D cannon :yaknow form enders game
Molecular Disruption Device. The "Little Doctor" Can destroy any planet or star. Size of a missile. Good luck balancing that.

Web:a mine that destroys the engines
Easy. Just change its weapon damage from "normal" to "Engines only"

Internal goo - Phased shilding.
How about making it like my BuckTube Gel Armor? Then it is actually internal, and works against every weapon in the game (excepting Psi-Subverters) In your case, you could make it protect against Engine Destroying attacks too, since the AI can design ships with more than the legal limit of engines It would be described as a honeycomb filled with high-damage-resistance goo, critical components are placed in core cells.

Photsynthsis glands:generates supplys from stars
Glands? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it be a Photosynthesizing Skin? Could be armor, or described as fitting under armor. Would likely come in very small segments, since it is nearly impossible to destroy the entire skin at once.

how cn i stop peeps from boarding sapace monsters i mean what are they going to
do attack the creatures brain till it submits??
Something very much like that happens in one of the _Wild Cards_ novels, but can't remember which specific volume.

How about this component?

Immune system - boarding defense (same ability as Security Station)

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"

Default Re: Some of my ideas and questions

the little docterhas made a comback i have found a way i hoipe to balance it i will add a new tech area Molocule manipulation witch requires max in Physics,level 2 in steller manip and the little docter can only destroy a tiny or small planet a little docter 1 can only destroy a tiny though and it aint so little any more and its requires 10 turns to reload eats a lot of supllys requires level 10 in Molocule manip andcant kill a sun and has poor range.

also some new components

Thruster:a engine that provides 1movement and requires 1 suplly and is only 5kt not bad i mean its practicly a freebie right and the primitives get it at a high level in ther techs as well

Training dock:a comp for bases that increaszes a ships exp when its in the same sector

All crew quarters now have boarding attack of 5 and a destroy when use so you cnan abandone youre ship and steal a better one
