this is an excellent idea and i hope it makes it into one of the free addons coming soon , i do hope it would also include a visual representation around the planets if they do have one of these stations/megastations/rings, think it would be pretty sweet :-P

Hell, even go all out dyson's sphere.

Well a Dyson sphere or swarm could be assumed to also be built around the star for energy production, while leaving the sunlight able to give life to systems.

Getting the best of both worlds.

Or put them in huuuge machines that take "fluids" and do more Cravers (reflected on the recuperation time of the system after invading it)

Shameless bumping.

However what do you guys think of the idea that these improvements apart from the last one would be available from the start of the game? But would have the industry costs of 1000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000?

I would even go as far as for the cravers to treat them as roman style auxiliaries, after all just because they are space locust doesn't make them evil.

At least, not in their eyes....

I could see them rounding up the people in camps and making use of them for food and resources and the like.

That was what I have in mind.

I can't say I have ever seen a Craver without a suit on, honestly I believe that cravers just subjugate the local population, depending on the local hive of course depends if they are whipped daily, or are allowed limited representation with the queens.

I think the game needs more defiance upgrades any every form. I say when a fleet kill off the last of the defending fleet they should still have to engage some sort of orbital defiance grid.

There is only so many people one can eat and if there are billions in one system might take along to time to eat them. So it would make sense that at some point they would just take slaves.

Cravers don't eat people ? I imagined them doing that and making workers with recycled corpses.

I like the idea as well. You could argue if this kind of defenses are helpfull enough, since through warp and military strategies like hacking and sabotage these defensive lines could be breached, but having more population in Space(Habitats) would make invasion much more complicated, since there will allways be gurellias and rebells somwhere in the system. So, jeah! Why not! Like it!
