I would like to request from Steve more terrifying
galactic invaders. They are really needed in my opinion.
In current Aurora, they're not very high tech level. Sure, if they come very soon by chance, they are not winnable. Especially with conventional start, which I always use. But I want to feel... TERROR... when they arrive
I have three possible suggestions for ways to do this:
1) Choose at game start how BRUTAL they are.
2) Have them reliably better than the players when they appear. In tech level, but also with better designs. This is my least favorite options, as it would not reward at all the player who invests a lot in tech research
3) ... who said there's only one race of
galactic invaders? Maybe they have a fractured "nation", with different factions or similar. And if you do repel one.... another stronger faction will come knocking later on, with a lot of new and exciting toys
P.S.
Precursors need better ship designs as well
