Re: Space Food Empires
I'm going to add 4 monster types to the game, each with a unique set of 'weapons' and attributes. In general, all monsters can regenerate themselves if damaged as long as their 'brain' is intact. They have bodies of different sizes and are protected in general by their protective 'skins'.
Flying Spaghetti Monsters:
Manipulate and attack objects with their noodly appendages
Processor Monsters:
Self-relplicating robots created by an extinct Food race. Desire to chop up all organic matter that crosses their path.
Fungal Monsters:
Space fungi that infect ships and planets with their poisonous spores.
Stomach Monsters:
Wierd organic lifeforms that attempt to devour all organic matter they encounter in space.

Re: Space Food Empires
What if there's one warp point on one side of the system and one directly across from it? AFAIK, the AI isn't smart enough to avoid obstacles more than 3 sectors in width...

Re: Space Food Empires
I think the blackhole is 6x6 sectors wide so it they might be able to navigate around it (note that it is smaller than in normal SE:IV) but I'll give it a test.
