Terror Star moves too slow.

from Stardock Forums
Built my first terror star. Cool looking. Since I was at war with the Torians I thought I'ld try it out. It only moves one movement a turn. Since the closest Torian planet was at least 5 sectors away, the way was long over by the time the terror star got to its destination. It is a great weapon, but takes way to long to get anywhere to be of much value.

I found the same thing. Thus I don't bother with them now.

you might want to colonize a planet a lot closer than that (who cares what the quality is, and then move the constructers there, build your terror star 1 or 2 moves away from the planet and then have a go at them. An Avatar can kill a terror star! So be sure you protect it with as much firepower as needed. Hope this helps. Have fun hunting :D

Dont expect the Terror Star's speed to improve. It destroys Stars. BTW, even though they look cool, the movement of 1 is why I refuse to build them.

I built one once...but never got to use it as the game was over before I needed to. And I've began them more than once but usually the game ends before I get a chance to build it.
Does building it have any "threat" value over the AI's?

Hehe, I built one, and like 1 houre l8er it arrived at the Arcean sector rofl (it was worth the w8 ;) )

Really funny, while the terrorstar was killing stars the Arceans tried to make peace and such hehe
