Summary0001326: Guard Post Suggestion -Ghost Post
DescriptionX4000 suggested that ideas for new guard-post types would be welcome, so I'd like to suggest the Ghost Guard-post. This would appear as a semi-transparent post and would exist only partially in normal dimensions, rendering it impossible to attack.

The Ghost post would not interact with the player either, but some time after capture of the planet, could spontaneously move into our dimension at which point it would start attacking surrounding ships and structures and pump out attackers (at this point it could be engaged as normal).

Alternatively, the ghost post could be triggered by some action such as the capture of a planet or unlocking of a player achievement.

The ghost post would be intended as a "sword of Damocles" -something you'd have to keep tabs on as you'd never know if or when it will activate...

Unfortunately, much as I love it, it needs to be cut for time reasons. But I really want to do this sometime in the future.

I don't know about it being a guard post, and it would have to be seeded VERY infrequently otherwise it would be way too annoying, but otherwise interesting.
