Good evening ! I'm playing as the Vaulter Empire and the Riftborns put a singularity on one of my systems. The system's FIDSI was drastically reduced because of their singularity. Please, how can I protect my empire from these attacks and how long does the singularity last ?

You can't, other than politely asking them to stop if you get the option. In my opinion, singularities shouldn't be able to be placed on systems with system shields. Otherwise, the Riftborn can entirely erase the Hissho.

If I'm not mistaken, the singularity lasts for 10 turns on normal game speed and 5 on fast game speed. My guess is, it lasts 20 turns on endless game speed.

The Dilation Singularity pales in comparison to this Tier 4 beauty:

This thing just seems so out of control broken. All hail Riftborn. But I do think its cost scales up alongside all uses of singularities (not just itself), but I can't remember. What always surprised me was that you can pop these on someone from the other side of the galaxy without any vision whatsoever.

They have the best faction theme music too.

EDI, funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the Riftborn is the most cantankerous, thin-skinned, of all the AI (especially for a faction suited for peaceful victory - Science/Wonder). If you breath in their direction, they take great offense. They seem to get especially upset about scout ships in their territory. It would be fun to chat with someone who coded their behavior.

Thank you for the warning dustwhit ! I've been stealing their technology every three turns. Because of the singularity, I'm going to aim the technologies that allow extraction of the orichalcix and quadrinix. Can an empire still research a technology stolen by hacking ?

You don't steal, you copy. They still have the tech. ;)

Thanks for pointing that out HBumblebee. In my language, it's written the equivalent of "steal".

Riftborn theme is cool but I prefer Hissho's.

You are correct, 15 turns on slow and 20 turns on endless gamespeed
