| Summary | 0016130: A Nomad Planet in TLF | ||||
| Description | An idea for a future expansion. This Nomad Planet isn't much like the ones in Destroyer of Worlds. It intermittently appears on the solar map, but rather than act as a planet, it yields a random tech to the first race (Hydral included) to hold the planet for some amount of time (pirates can also go after it and get a bonus base instead). Allies won't fight one another for it, but everyone else will, meaning that the Planet can set off a war if enough ships get destroyed, or make a race very angry with you. After the Planet is harvested a random number of times it turns hostile. It moves to the asteroid belt and starts producing armadas that attack everyone, with a special focus on whoever accessed it last. Should these defeat a planet's defensive armadas they glass the planet, eliminating the population, hurling environmental RCI to scarytown, and destroying all improvements. Destroying the Nomad Planet requires a quest chain involving combating its armadas, reconnaissance, research, and a final assault to deliver a payload (unique special weapon) to a structural vulnerability (dropzone). Federation races and your allies contribute to the attack by launching artillery strikes, reducing enemies present one way or another, or sending a fleet of their own as appropriate. I don't envision any specific rewards for destroying the planet, the rewards come in balancing risk/reward before it goes off, and not having death armadas everywhere after it does. | ||||

What about, after taking out the planet, each race gets randomized mineral bonuses and the player gets Hydral technologies unlocked? |
