Would you want new planet types and atmospheres?

[Mark Walton]

What about energy-beings who can colonize stars?

What about different hydrospheres (and geospheres for burrowing races)? A world is not just an atmosphere. (Well maybe a gas giant is, sort of)

[Trachmyr]

Well, "hydospheres" could be added to the list of planet types... "Liquid or Water Planets", Geospheres.... well either they burrow in rock or ice?

As for stars, that would be cool, BUT it would require major changes to the Hardcode (where I'm hoping these will only require minor changes), since stars have no resources or conditions assigned to them.

[Suicide Junkie]

Rock, Ice, Liquid, Gas.

Not much else that applies to planets.

[Trachmyr]

also want: Inferno (or LAVA), and Brown Dwarves (y'know the HUGE gas giant that have recently been spotted... thought is that they're failed stars)

[Sirkit]

Stars would be sweet!!! It might require the combination of both the specialized race trait (all components are energy) thread as well as remote mining (their gonna need minerals from somewhere!) But if say the star gave off a signifigant amount of rads depending on it's luminocity then it could work...

I'll vote for stars but I'm sorry I'm tired of appearing in a system with nothing there to colinize.... But stars yeh.... (dumb look) that would be very cool!

Were you thinking of the Chlorans from the Skylark series also by EE Doc Smith? They were nasty, made the Xi'Chung Hive look like cute friendly kittens.

ps. Skylark of Space, just re-published -check Amazon.com.
