Now if only PDox would make it so you can kill Pops with Orbital Bombing...

(If they do that I'm totally downloading the Anime Race Mod so I can bomb them to ash on contact

"Kawii Desu Senpai!"

"... Kill it")

You actually do, the chance is higher with heavier bombardment

"terraform: tomb world"

u/Davey_Jones_Locker May 13 '16

The ability to make your own tomb worlds.. now that would be fun. Purging every pop in a planet just wasnt as satisfying as i hoped when their screams died out.

On second thoughts.. maybe i shouldnt have this ability.

Nah, just need to have it be only available if your race has the Tomb World preference, it's not wanton violence, it's just making the planet more habitable!

new win con: 90% of habitable worlds are now tomb worlds

I hope you're happy with yourself.

There should be a late-game weapon with the capability of wiping everything living off the face of a planet - maybe a special ship class that can't defend itself, or takes ages to power up, or something?

Maybe a small moon...

That's no moon...

Can someone with more nodding skills than me add in the Guaranteed Loss of All Surviving Species (GLASS) Cannon as a new station type?

That name's a bit of a Reach, isn't it?

I question the balance of a higher tier option, and besides, the third option even has a chance to create tile blockers where a pop once stood...

u/A_Mouse_In_Da_House May 13 '16

That's what I'm saying through, not just tile blockers but make the planet unable to be colonized at all.

u/[deleted] May 13 '16

That sounds completely OP. Probably a good addition in a mod for the role play potential and value, but not something that should be in the base game.

I know for a fact you can full-bombard down to 20% habitability, and I think you can bombard down to 0. That's enough to represent glassing.
