Nomad Beacon *Spoilers*

[Aklyon]

Boom! Problem solved.

Blowing up the AI homeworld in this manner also doesn't seem to have triggered the avenger, presumably because it spawns from the same homeworld that no longer exists?

Well it spawns from the AI Home Command Station when it's destroyed so it should spawn.

You say that like there is a planet left for it to spawn near when the beacon is involved.

It's not spawning because AI command station is not destroyed per se. It goes out with whole planet

Well I didn't know it actually removes the planet from the galaxy map (or does it?). Still.. it doesn't spawn from the planet.. it spawns from the Command Station (Which is on (or actually orbiting) the planet).. but I understand what you're saying.

It does.  And if you bifurcate the galaxy, it'll chain.  Specifically, the half still attached to an AI homeworld will "survive."
(I believe there's a bug report around where the galaxy was split because there was an AI Home in both halves)

Did anyone test what happens if you take out part of an X map so that you do split one of the AI Homeworlds from the rest of the galaxy? I would imagine that it would still cause the 'Doomsday' result.
