I tried doing this lategame by telling the ships to automatically attack planets and automatically producing them on a ton of different planets, then declaring war on everyone, but the enemy AI stole my design, then started wiping out my planets instead.

At first I was skeptical of the practicality of this design considering that large guns will kill population just fine. But planets typically have few weapons which fire very slowly and you can overwhelm defense satellites well enough. I have seen planets go from full population to zero before the planetary cannon can fire a second shot.

thanks, I'll give it a whirl

@hellatze, about to start. it's been in my "bought on cheap sale, never installed" backlog till Covid time :-P. Hopefully it's better than Star Drive I, which I also fell for on sale. Hoping for closer to Space Empires level quality.

assuming people still play this

very cool... it works

you could almost certainly cheese human players with this.

Looks like parasite drone... Very good
