Marauder planets
« on: April 13, 2013, 11:08:57 pm »
I was just wondering: how do marauders work, "under the hood"?

'Cos I had this particular planet where a couple of vampire claws were camping. Then every so often 1-4 marauders would attack (and be swiftly butchered by the Dyson Gatlings there, but that's irrelevant). This didn't happen to other planets with vampires camping, though.

So, just a theory: are certain planets earmarked as "marauder" planets, such that when so-and-so period elapses, a check is performed to deliver a number of marauders proportional to the number of hostile ships on it?

thank you so much, RNG
It aims to please!

Or is that "to kill"?  Hmm.

There's no preferred planets for marauder spawns.  Curious how that worked out for you, though.
