Stellar Converter

Would or should there be a weapon in game that can destroy a planet and turning it into an asteroid field? Like the stellar converter in MoO2 or the deathstar in Star Wars.

Well i like the idea of planet destroying weapons. It will ofcource cost ALOT and be very weak in other areas.

Every game needs there super weapon
For a normal game (1hour game), they might not able to build them. But if the game becomes around the 2 hours or so, they should be buildable.

I hear alot of ppl talk about they dont want games to last too long. This might help the game actualy finish somewhat faster, if the game drags out.

Or if your playing a game with a lot of solar systems there could always be the SunCrusher (or whatever. Its from Star Wars and Kyp Durron uses it when he goes to the dark side).

about when i said normal game time, isnt something i know anything about, its just a guess that seems as a fair gametime to most

Hey Thrawn, I hope you don't mean that stupid little indestructible shuttle that destroys stars in one shot and can only be damaged by 1). Death Star main weapon or 2). Black Holes. Uggg, that was a pathetic story and the author likely is a 60 year old virgin. Reading it was a waste of a couple of hours I'll never get back.

Anyway, I suspect that most of us on the forums might find the Sun Crusher a...tad bit unbalanced.

then create super powerful ships to attack other ships, dont make something capable of crushing planets. thats the definition of cheap-ass in RTS.

can you elaborate why it would be a "cheap-ass" thing to add?
