Special Sandbox mode
« on: May 24, 2010, 10:49:34 AM »
Here is an interesting idea

Hmm

if I'm not mistaken, a player viral shredder attacking an AI zenith mirror will produce a small army of shredders all by itself  :P


Probable, IDK.  I had 50 Shredders jump to 73 after just a few mirrors came to visit  :D 



It would be very nice to have a test bed setup of some kind, with a single planet with res and a few WH (or some other placeable structure) that you coud program to produce any volume/combo of AI ships /minor faction ships/ player ships. With all structures and ships unlocked.

A cool way to learn about new ships, ship combos, answer the question of this thread, etc.

This cheat would probably help here:

warp in the clowns,ZenithMirror,100

(note that the number won't really be 100, and could actually be a LOT more, but it does provide relative magnitude control)
