9 Planet System

[SYahoo]

It is possible!

You can use the Enigmatic Fortress change all the planets in the system into tomb worlds. If you were lucky there could be nine of them. Then, just terraform them and bang! Nine planet system.

Uh, no, the 9 tombworld thing is the Horizon SIgnal end, the Enigmatic Fortress is something completely different and has absolutely nothing to do with that. No idea how you came to the conclusion that the Enigmatic Fortress is behind it when it's clear that the Horizon Signal stuff is behind it.

Also just checked the event file for the Enigmatic Fortress, it does not do anything to the system that it resides within.

Wrong.

I remember that I took the option to fire a torpedo into the Enigmatic Fortess to destroy it.

What it did was nuke every ship I had in the system and turned all the planets in the system into Tomb Worlds.

Please check the files again.

I apologize, you'e right. I checked again and I had missed it in the first time I looked.

Also, it might include moons, not sure.

If I recall it actually turned gas giants into tomb world too.

every planet a tomb world, was quite funny to witness.

Yea but like almost all of them will have no resources on them so it'll be a pretty shitty 9 Planet system xD

Imagine combining Horizon and this. 9 tomb worlds for a species with tomb world preference.

9 Shipyards in one system, not to mention 100-225 tiles to build on is not shitty

But I'm not sure it is better than this:

Enigmatic Deflector
S: Shield Hit Points: +150
Shield Regeneration: +4.6
M: Shield Hit Points: + 300
Shield Regeneration: +6.6
L: Shield Hit Points: +600
Shield Regeneration: +8.6

Enigmatic Power Core
S: Power Generation: 35
M: Power Generation: 70
L: Power Generation: 140

Enigmatic Encoder
A: Chance to Evade: +6

Enigmatic Decoder
A: Tracking +3
Chance to Hit: +3

Enigmatic Disruption Field
C: Monthly Shield Regeneration: -10%
Fire Rate: -20%

I still like the spiritualist bonus you get when you abandon the quest line early. It is permanent +5% happiness.

Which, unfortunately, can be reverse engineered if you lose ships and others can scan the debris. Also, I think your protectorates and/or vassals can research it as well, because I swear I saw some of my allies ships (I forget if it was a protectorate or a vassal) have those same stuff too.

Maybe they just reverse engineered the ships of the enemy that reverse engineered you.

Enigmatic stuff and dragonscale armor are fake overpowa. They do give you a temporary edge but ultimately all the galaxy will end getting that stuff.

I noticed an insteresting line regarding that:
#is_reverse_engineerable = no
So apparently having it not RE-able was intended, but later commented out.

Note that the power still fully applies against other guardians, endgame crisis (not sure about AI rebellion) and awakened empires. Becuase they can either not salvage or not redesign ships.
An interesting trick I started using is itentionally making filler/charging ships like corvettes and cruisers lower tier tech. The idea was that they get lost a lot more, so they do not provide nearly as much valuable salvage to the enemy.

Has anyone tried to mod this? Can't find any that does uncomment that... perhaps time to dip my fingers into the modding pot

All guardian tech is in technology\00_guardian_tech.txt
No idea if uncommenting it will do anything. For all we know, the needed engine code was not added. But we can only try to test it.
