You could try copying stuff from the PPP/whatchamacallit intel op, (where the planet dosen't join the attacking empire), and see if that ability can be used in a random event.

It would be kinda funny if you could put that ability into a ship/component . The planet that built the ship immediately breaks away from your empire, and any other planets that the ship visits will also break away from their owners (friend or foe)
It would be like a MAD situation, except that nobody actually dies!

Kodos,

For your "Bugs" how about 'Neurotoxin bLastomeres' - could be a venomous missle that either:

1) destroys only living components (life support, crew quarters, boarding parties, defence parties. All biological components?).

OR

2) freezes any ship activities for a full round (master computer/computer core units not affected).

I don't even know whether you could put the intel op effect into a component or hull. Be sure to test first!

That was just a wild idea.

Well, you could make all their components have 1hp. Then, they'd have a total of about 50 Hp max. Two normal mount meson bLasters would do them in.

It would really suck to have any of your ships destroyed intantly by a normal mount nullspace shot though.
