I think there should be a few more customized dockscreens for destroyed stations.

I noticed that in the xmls, there is only one abandonedstation dockscreen.

Whether I blow up Starton Eridani station, a Pteravore lair, or a Luminous Assembler, I'm gonna see the lifeless ruins of a destroyed station. Wrecked machinery and smoldering bodies litter the silent, cavernous bay.

It would help storytelling to have a unique dockscreen for certain situations, eg:

You a docked with the wreckage of a Luminous Assembler. Scorched circuitry protrudes out of ruptured bulkheads and several partially assembled drones float weightless in the assembly bay.

Definitely not game breaking, but I think it will help with story telling and TDTTOE.

Indeed. Same with the Iocrym. The stations are manned by AIs....so why are there bodies? And if so, why can't I get some of these alien bodies on board and so make some scientists drool?

Scientists? Hell, you could trade them to the Teratons for a small fleet of escorts.

:lol: Still a possibility, as they do get their own ships in TX2.

Woo!


If you do...you wouldn't mind doing a standalone mod, with teraton ships at the nests, and maybe the odd enemy trying to kill you for your soft, squishy internals......would you? :P
