I don't understand why people always want to have end-all superweapons in games. Not every game needs an "I Win" button.

I think to see something like the "Stellar Converter" from moo2 would be awesome. Hope the devs rethink they're decision, at least in an expansion.

They've actually got a forum tag specifically for this kind of suggestion: "doom weapon"

As the other guy said, by the time you've survived to get that far in the tech tree, you're probably winning anyway.

The Stellar Converter wasn't really THAT great, you had to destroy all defending fleets and installations first which makes it a weapon of spite more than desperation I felt. MOO2's tech trees eventually reached 'indistinguishable from magic' level anyway, and you could undo the damage from the doomsday weapon and build a new planet, so it would probably be less feasible in this.

I think this would be best suited to being included in a mod. I wouldn't like this in the game but if it was in a mod everyone would be suited because it could be your choice!

Exactly my point. It is entirely unnecessary.

Unnecessary/necessary... how is it possible in real physics... blablabla... this is not the point. The point is : Doom weapon IS fun.



And more, if it is well put in the tech tree, and balanced, it could add some depth by allowing a player to return a critical situation. And if a tech could allow to build a planet from asteroide, it would be even more depth.



It is not because ES is a very simple and elegant 4X that it has to be a 4X for babies! smiley: stickouttongue



"- Captain, we are in orbit. Lot of doom weapon non-believers here from our intelligence report.

- How is it possible!? Hmm... give them some taste of it, it should convert them!"

Its just stupid, such a weapon is just that a 'doom' weapon that cant really be stoped, if developed by the strongist guy in a game, then there is no real point in playing becuse he will just stuff his ships with it.



And if it were balanced? then it would have not differance with any other weapon, and destroying planets? that just means there is no recovery from an attack making its compleatly unfair for its target empire.
