Found something odd...

[ThirdRock]

I'm not reporting a bug here, but I found something rather odd.

Spoiler

After killing the Crystal Nidus (in the Voon system), this strange anomaly appeared.

It's kind of cool to look at.

 

[BlackUmbrellas]

Oh yeah, that's a fun one.

Honestly I kind of wish there were things in the game that did that on purpose... can you imagine if the Unbidden created a swirling miasma on the galaxy map around their rifts?

 

[ThirdRock]

Yeah that would be pretty cool. It would embody how terrifying an extra-dimensional invasion would be.

When you get bored of the looks, you can get rid of it by save/reload

It got rid of itself after a couple of minutes.

It got rid of itself after a couple of minutes.

It's the corpse of the mother crystalline entity. it appears on the galactic map until it's researched. I'm sure @Wiz knows about it.

Pretty tho.

The Eye of Terror... that would be awesome.

The system itself would have to be completely transformed into something bizarre, of course. Maybe populated by Dimensional Horrors...?

Nah. Just, you know... massive Unbidden armadas and defense stations, the way it works now. You could throw a custom skybox over the rift system, I suppose, but this is an aesthetic rather than mechanical change I'm talking about.

Yeah, I was joking. A custom skybox and some kind of storm/lightning animation in the background would do it for me.

In my last game, after defeating the Unbidden I colonized a world in their former portal system. Turns out there was a subterranean civilization on that planet the whole time. They missed one hell of a light show.
