Colonization by units?

Bah, Fyron. Did you not read what he posted past the first sentence?

[Fyron]

Yes I did. It needed to be stated explicitly. What is your point?

No need to be rude, people. I had already stated it explicitly in the 4th reply; restating things multiple times is not very helpful.

Thanks, Geo for the test!

Another question:

With the devestating effects of a stellar destruction wiping out an entire system, do you think it's appropriate to use the "System - Destructive Center" on normal systems to make it a little harder to destroy stars? The exact value for damage would allow only a heavily armored ship to survive moving onto the star. The justification would be that it just makes sense that moving so close to a star would be inherently damaging. "Sector - Damage" could be used for binary & trinary systems. What say you?

[Fyron]

Now your post, Slick, I only skimmed.

Why use destructive center at all? Wouldn't using the sector - damage ability on all stars in StellarAbilityTypes.txt work just as well? You would have to make stars in binary/trinary systems be of a different type than "Normal Star" to get them to have that ability 100% of the time.

No problem. I should clarify though that I didn't actually test this recently. I tried modding exactly this idea a couple years ago and what I describe is the problem I ran into with it. I suppose it's possible that a later patch changed things to make this possible, but I don't recall seeing anything in the history file about it.
