Summary0010006: New AI type & Storyline – Nebula Wormhole Technologist
DescriptionIt seems to me the AI would not ignore the strategic advantage that nebula wormholes would offer. I propose a new type of AI, the Nebula Wormhole Technologist. This is an AI desperate to gain access to these wormholes and have specifically setup specialized shielded research stations to gain access. These stations are placed next to the wormhole not unlike guardians; they are protected by specialized shields that not only block human’s access in but also block access from the other side by an angered faction/s within the nebula wormhole.
This new or old factions would have an ancient modular golem they are trying to use to strike back with and destroy the AI’s research efforts in order to keep themselves hidden and protected. The player could gain access to this golem by capturing all research stations and causing an overload in the golem, but in turn angering these factions and creating a new enemy that must be destroyed before golem could be repaired. Or the player could destroy these research stations and watch the havoc unfold as this faction takes action against the AI and helps the player.
This AI would be technologically advanced hence being under the Technologist AI type. The AI’s research stations would be extremely well defended and have their own network of shield generators around the galaxy. Each research station captured or destroyed would cause a large increase to AI progress. All research stations would have to be captured or destroyed to take out the AI home station. This would be for a masochistic player looking for the ultimate challenge.

Idea Breakdown:

New AI Type:
Nebula Wormhole Technologist
- All ships unlocked
- All mark V’s
- Faster AI progression due to the need to destroy or capture special research stations

New Technology:
Modular Golem
Wormhole Research Station
Wormhole Shielding (This shield could look like what is currently in game but with a different color/shade.)

The community and developers of course can feel free to reject or modify this idea in any way deemed fit. I give free license over this idea to Arcen Games. I can expand on my ideas if wanted.

It doesn't really work to have an AI type be completely dependant on having a champion.

This could work as an AI plot, though.

@Faulty Logic: Didn't Train Master also rely on outside option (in that case, Astro Train plot)?
