Possible "event triggers" in Scenario Creation

[Taera]

I surely hope but doubtfully.
STILL

YOU can create the function using the very same sentry command. Have a ship sitting with sentry order. Have another ship of another empire heading to the system, count the requied turns and send it to the system the way it would reach in exactly when you need it. THen have it enter a minefield which you also should plant in the same system. This way the target ship(s) will be triggered in time and the triggering empire will be erased.

Oooo. I just had an idea, assuming this all works. Anybody see the episode of Star Trek with the doomsday machine? Have a really tough ship that moves slow, maybe 2 or 3 squares per turn. And has a QR so it doesn't run out of supply. Put it out on the edge of the quadrant and give it orders to head for the home planet, going over all teh colonies along the way. Set it up so it takes like ten years to get to the home planet and the player has to find a way to stop it before then.

You wouldn't even need to have a QN; you could do the same with solar panels. Of course the ship might need a QR if it has to fight a lot all the way in!

It should be QR, and the maintance problem should be solved by just removing ship's maintance (i've seen people doing this already), so it'll be an infinite supply no maintance killing machine.

You got my idea.

Puke did this in the PBW End of the Universe game, only he used it to blow up the *stars* in the home systems

Well, that was his idea, but it didn't exactly work out that way. He ended up controlling the ships until the end. Then once the home systems were blown he left the game.

I was thinking along the lines of a true one-person scenario where the Doomsday machine would carry out the prearranged orders.
