Planet destroying/disabling

from Sins Forums

Got the idea a while back and it only just sprang back into head...I believe it's impossible but could someone tell/confirm that planet's cannot be permanently destroyed or rendered useless!

What I'm trying to make is I have a model which I would like to turn into a 'planet killer', he goes in destroys planet then prevents it from being recolonised. Either through an ability with no cooldown or something?

Any idea how this could be done...if possible?

 

Thank you

Justin S.

PS: the ship is a frigate, very expensive though, but meaning you will be able to put one on every destroyed planet!

PS2: it will be a tool for my race which cannot colonize :)

It can't be physically destroyed, but it can certainly be made permanently uncolonizeable. The TEC's Novalith cannon already makes a planet uncolonizeable for a while. It just has a finishCondition on the buff so that it expires - no finishCondition and you get a permanent buff.

It's pretty easy to make a planet killer in this manner. You can just make a ship with an ability that does 6k damage (max hp a planet can have) and applies that same buff to make it uncolonizeable, or something :)
