Random Thought: Dyson Forest adds stealth?

#1 Post by wobbly »

I'm not sure how this would work out, but basically +stealth for sharing a system with a dyson forest. Some cases to think about:
  • Planets, hidden by the dyson forest.
  • What happens when the +stealth, hides it from the dyson forest seeing it.
  • A ship with enough stealth not to be attacked by dyson forest could hide.
  • Monsters being "allied" with all monsters could hide in a dyson forest.
  • Does the dyson forest gain stealth? Maybe its base stealth could just be decreased by the same as the bonus.
Edit: Possibly other monsters that work to stealth stuff.

Also like it. My take on it:
  • Planets, hidden by the dyson forest. - Yes, unconditional extra stealth for planets
  • What happens when the +stealth, hides it from the dyson forest seeing it. - I think its ok to ignore this for planets, for ships see below
  • A ship with enough stealth not to be attacked by dyson forest could hide. - Yes, extra stealth for empire ships only if there stealth is higher than the dyson forrest detection
  • Monsters being "allied" with all monsters could hide in a dyson forest - Yes, extra stealth for neutral ships (for all but forrests)
  • Does the dyson forest gain stealth? - Id say exclude it from the stealth effect
