Terror Planets?

Lets make Class 0's useful!

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm not exactly sure if I'm posting this in the right section (couldn't find a Twilight of the Arnor section), so excuse me if I am.

I had a recent idea as I was using terror stars in TA, and I was wondering if we could use a smaller version of a terror star, which could be used to hit individual planets?

Instead of destroying whole solar systems, you can destroy individual planets (whether class 0 to get some use out of them, or enemy planets to destroy 'em). They would bebuilt, researched and used in the general same way.

Feedback?

I think Terror Stars were created so that we COULDN't destroy just a planet. I think this way it makes the player have to choose when and where to us it more wisely.

Do you destroy a high PQ planet along with the others? What if another AI is in the sytem, ready to go to war with thm too?

I like it this way. Being able to go after individual planets i think would make it too ummm powerful, that is, for the player to use, not in firepower.

Sounds like the deathstar lol.

Well the main thing about the Terror Star is that its based around the story of Gal Civs, the terror star is used to destroy the dreadlords power in a super nova, its not a weapon used against planets in the story so thats why it is only going to be for a star not planets.

Having terror stars that just kill planets would be like picking the cherries out of the pie. And thats just ridiculous. If you want to make your enemy weaker, you must stand for the loss of whole star systems. If you want that important manufacturing world gone, but you loose a class 26 thats in the system, to bad. Maybe you should try using transports then.

It is possible to pick off single planets.

Build a Spore Ship. Kill all ships orbiting the target planet. Move the Spore Ship to the target planet. Open up the details screen for said planet and click 'Destroy Colony'.

Anyway, having Terror Stars attack whole star systems is obviously better as it requires more tactical thought and consideration(ships, planets, and who you are willing to go to war with).

For a while I thought Mogo was going to be implemented in GC2.
