Asteroid ship:a slow ship with a lot of armor and needs megascale engineering as well

Juggernuaght bigger then a super dreadnought(in my mod they are called Krakkens)but smaller then a base ship(renamed flagship)

Moniter:a 5 kt pemranantly cloaked sat

Raider:for pirates only it has a lot of supply storage built in and a high engine capicity good for hit and run missions or as pack scavangers or mop ups quite possibly the most strategeic pirate ship.

Guerilla raiderme as above but with stalth armor and slightly smaller

Plunderer:a pirate equivelent of a cruiser.

Oh, I see. I was under the impression that there was a separate ability for ring vs sphere world. I really should not be basing anything off of the description of a component.

Create Constructed Planet
Value1 = The Special Ability ID in PlanetSize.txt to construct.


This would still require the "destruction" of a star to build each one.
NO building moons & stuff.

Yeah, still requires a star, but it does work. Change this to, say, 3, add the appropriate entries to the other files, and you're in business.

You CAN'T, however, make a race that only colonizes stars. First, SE4 requires you to pick a starting type/air, and automatticly gives out the tech. Second, these new structes do NOT start out with a colony on them. You have to colonize them.

If you destroy a type A planet, then create a new planet out of the asteroid rubble, will the new one automatically be another type A? If not, you could repeatedly destroy and create the planet until a type B was randomly generated.

Asteroids are always "rock", but turn into any of Ice/Gas/Rock when planetized.

I believe that if you keep smashing and rebuilding, you can get any atmosphere with any surface. Thusly, with enough time and budget, you could colonize all planets in a "own atmosphere/surface only" game.

These are always subject to the restrictions of: no Gas/None, Gas giants are always large or huge.
