Please Make the Human Rebels Afraid of the Devourer Golem

[Relee]

So, it's the first time playing in a long while. I've got a lot of stuff in my current game, including the devourer golem and human rebels. I've gotta say, please, please, please make the human rebels afraid of the devourer golem.

I was really excited to see the human rebels show up. I had botched the Light of the Spire thing where you get the giant crystal; I had revealed it at the moment of a big wave so I had a TON of ships coming in. Somehow I didn't lose any command stations; probably because a whole mess of friendly rank four ships popped up. After that planet was clear, they started automatically patrolling all of my planets. It was great! I have roaming enclaves on, and I don't think I'm gonna do that again 'cause they're kind of annoying, but with my basic defenses the rebels patrols had no problem fighting off the spikebabies.

Just now the devourer golem showed up; he's been bugging the AI for a long time, on the fringes of my territory, but now he's here. All of the rebels attacked him directly and were instantly killed.

Yeah.

So much for those guys! But yes, please make the rebels afraid of the Devourer, and leave the planet he's on. I can't stop them from suiciding and frankly, it was just really sad to watch them all die like that.

I'm not sure but this could qualify as a bug.
I had devourer fly side by side with nebula allies and my understanding is that devourer shouldn't attack other minor factions.

Were those nebula allies only the biggest ("command and control", in the description) ones?  Those are mkV, and the cookie monster's doctor told him to stop eating mkV cookies.

Also, the devourer probably leaves any "enemy to all" factions alone, since it is also enemy to all, and they don't fire on each other (otherwise every marauder spawn would be brutal and short ).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding, he's talking about the Human Resistance Fighters Minor Faction.

That was my understanding as well.

Right, I was responding to the post just before mine.  But you might not be responding to me.  All very complex

[Coppermantis]

I was referring to both of you, actually. I didn't realize that you were replying to orzelek, though.

[Histidine]

Perhaps resistance ships should be Mark V? They certainly have the stats for it.

[orzelek]

Making them Mk V would be simplest solution.

As for nebula allies and Devourer - maybe he munched on some and left the others. I wasn't looking at that being busy evacuating my other more consumable assets.
