I don't know what they are, but now I found a second system with the same type of mysterious threat . Fortunately, no jump gate... A "testing" dash in the first system proved the original threat is still there. I also discovered that the beam weapons they use bypass armour, so they are using mesons it seems.

Normally Steve is squashing bugs  :D  As we are speculating about the new threat I will go for something like the Jindarians of SFB.  Asteroid dwelling race with smaller ships hangered in the asteroids.


I was actually talking about the Rigellian diary, but DAMN, Jindarians would be cool, nothing like having your asteroid belt strip mined!!

Hmm.. I'm guessing von neumann machines. Or an automated galactic surveying system that's got annoyed at all the ships moving things around and has decided to remove the error making lifeforms.

What if they start off in a starless nexus though?! (like in my current game) They have nothing to work on then :)

*covers ears* La-La-La I'm not reading this thread....

PS - It just occured to me that the little bit I did read reminds me of the rumblings of strange happenings from Season 1 of B5.  Thanks Steve for sneaking a new threat in and not telling us about it.

I forgot to mention that my scout is laying low after I reloaded from a previous save (before my madly dash for freedom)...

I'm going on a limb here, but I'm going to guess that Steve has put in something like a Death Star, or a planet-sized ark filled with nasties!

Fortunately, there are no jump gates on either side, so it seems I have time on my side. For the moment, several months have passed and my scout is still unharmed in his corner, busy picketing its way point at 1km/s...

Is this threat going to stay local to that system, or should I plan for guests? Steve, let there be a little light on the subject (not a lot, as some surprise is always welcome!).
This particular threat expands in a different way to both Precursors and NPRs. It may take a while but it won't stay in that system forever.
