like i said when another race colonizes a planet with a junk field they automatically start salvaging it and get a fairly good recourse income untill it is depleted

... well to get back on topic to balance it out the "junk feild" around a planet would slow the population grouth but gives the planets new owner a steady income as they salvage the junk field and get the crap out of it the rippers would have 50-100 hp max and would be unable to do very much if any thing to shields yes the robots could swarm but EVERYTHING they have would be very weak on it's own they lose all the recources that planet had since each planet has

if anyone is intrested in my ripper idea i just want to say i agree that rippers should be like strike craft that the salvagers are swarmed by rippers that are the size of strike craft i also had an idea for defensive rippers. these rippers would be about half the size of most frigates. they would initially cost very little and take 1 tactitcal slot. you would only build 1 defensive ripper at a time but each defensive ripper would passivley take some of your junk and make mo

that would be a good idea

my personall opinion on the robot's origin is that after their maker died the robots went dormant and started to decay physically untill the advent expelled from thier home planet happened across this technological gem and sacked what they thought looked like it might help them to thier technological goals and left hoping to find more planets like this. (they didn't stay because the atmosphere was toxic and all the junk made it hard to build) When the Advent started to leave the robots woke u

the advent are not the kings of massing. Everything they make costs more than thier TEC counterpars in both recources and supplies. But the Advent have the best shields and quite often do more damage. but i agree with the mass illums and carriers stratagy or if the enemy is massing strike craft make defence vessles

I would personally like to see somthing that lets you make and/or move gravity wells to help you circumvent defences. as well as a ship that costs a hell of alot that can destroy neutral planets turning them into asteroid fields. It would be a sort of if i can't keep it you can't either wepon

this would not work for the advent being an independent ship owner. They are much to unified for that and you would not at any point be an infantry since on the planets that are colonized things are under control and you bombard enemy planets from space. if this was made you would probally start as a strike craft and just get "promoted" to bigger ships of your choice. Plus who says it has to stop at capital ships? why can't you install a jump drive into a space station?

have the abillity to turn entire planets into offensive units with many guns working in tandom as well as a main gun that does an excessive amount of damage in a straight line and can destroy the populations of planets in a matter of seconds as well as acting as a mobile gravity well with all of it's structures following in it's wake
