Summary0017108: Fluff suggestion: Lander has a cloaking device
DescriptionTo prevent (and explain) that the player is not simply murdered by more established races (both in terms of fluff and gameplay) I have the following suggestion:

- Let the Lander have a cloaking device that is able to perfectly cloak X buildings
- This explains why the races don't go for the player immediately on landing and could prevent them from interacting with the player during the initial early buildup
- This again might be desirable in terms of pacing/getting into the game as well
- Meanwhile the player can start scouting and identify potential threats and prepare for them
- Maybe the races even send investigative parties to examine the "impact" that happened in a certain area that have to be dealt with
- If a certain building count is exceeded, the cloaking device simply breaks down and the real game begins

PS: This could also enable something like the ultra-low AI progress strategies in AI War: Tackling the planet from stealth, i.e. enabling a completely different style of play (something that you are kind off fond of I think) = ).

There's a reason, actually, but it's not expressed yet in terms of the lore. Ohhhh yes, there's a reason indeed.... :D
