Summary0011382: Brutal Core Guard Post - Displacement Field Generator
DescriptionCodename: "Endless Mirage"

This Guard Post creates two mirror images of every other AI ship and building on the planet. These mirror images do no damage but are otherwise indistinguishable from the original unit. The Guard Post itself has 5 mirror images scattered throughout the system. These mirror images do full damage, and the Guard Post may swap positions with one of its images whenever a player-controlled ship enters the system or when a mirror image is destroyed.

**MECHANICS**

Mirror images are not replaced if they are destroyed.

Whenever a player-controlled ship enters the system or a mirror image is destroyed, a random mirror image may become the "real" Guard Post, provided that the image has more than 75% health. This is to prevent people from save-scumming to cheese the illusions.

To enhance the deception, the mirror images will mimic the behavior and targeting of the original. They won't mirror its movement, mind you; if the host ship targets a ship that the mirror images flank, all 3 ships will triangulate on that target.
