Default Re: Some of my ideas and questions

Searching for the "Squids in Space" thread should reveal a shipset based on, er, space squid.

Which should probably suffice for a "monster" set.

OTOH, they use the standard tech tree, which doesn't seem particularly appropriate for monsters. What they might need:

- Zero-maintenance hulls
- Brain (bridge, crew replacement, if possible)
- Heart (life support)
- Viscera (Repair, quantum reactor? Or, go the chlorophyll/photosynthesis route, and Solar Supply Generation)
- Reproductive organs (small "shipyard")
- Thick hide for armor
- Propulsion jets of some kind
- Nasty, if short-ranged, tentacles.

And so forth. Oh, and strange politics/anger files).
