Default Re: Important idea for modders

Another thing along the same lines is to have a proto-star system. You can leave the sight obscuration in, but no planets. Just asteroids, and maybe tiny rock/ice worlds.
Those races with sensors could see through the murk, while others could have to scout around blindly with remote miners until they find something to mine...

PS: can remote miners get resources from a cloaked, uninhabited world?

Yes, you can mine an uninhabited planet or asteroid in a sight obscuring nebulae. You don't have to know it's there to be able to mine it. I took advantage of this feature in my Voyager Scenario.
