New PBW game: Ancient

Yes, anyplace in the data files that talks about chances or percentages is in tenths of a percent. I can't remember if I've ever seen a star explode in a game, but I have seen planets break up due to core instabilities, and warp points spontaneously collapse.

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"

That's interesting. I've never seen a warp point collapse for natural reasons. But I have seen plenty of stars blow up. Had one in a multiplayer game that took out most of my ships and finished me off.

In a single player game once had my home star go nova after about 10 years. That was one of the best single player games I ever had. Got that message right away that the star was unstable and played the first part of the game under the gun trying to find a home for my population to move too before the planet went away.

URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL SENTIENT BEINGS WHO RECEIVE THIS TRANSMISSION

Without provocation or warning, the Borg Collective has obliterated two Hepcat colonies. Any other sentient beings, take extreme care when dealing with these beings. They have demonstrated a complete disdain for any living beings with the destruction of these two colonies. The Hepcats can only hope that our plight will serve as a warning to others to take the Borg threat as deathly serious.

END TRANSMISSION

OOC: God, I feel so embarrassed. This is what I get for working on infrastructure before defense....
