And sometimes it happens

For your viewing pleasure, I present to you, this mess.

For the record, I did not set these into cascade. It was all in the options I set in the lobby.

And check out Cenboom in the second screenshot. Roach Motel doing its job :)

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

I'm jealous.

I want and encourage cascades, but the game seemed to cap their limits at 50ish per planet for new spawns
Life is short. Have fun.

This game I have a lot of things turned on. FS, Golems, Botnet, Spirecraft, Hybrids, Enclaves, Wardens. Pretty much anything I could think of that would die easy and fast.

On the map SS, Initidin has 5 gens within 2 hops. Mefenao has one within 2 hops.

And at this point they don't do a whole lot. Too many ships in the game for the engine to track I guess.
I want to say Enclaves dieing in that cluster of 5 gens kicked it off. They spread across the south side of the map and every Exo or Hybrid attack, the numbers would skyrocket. 3 hours in I had 25,000 threat. It's crazy.

Last thing I want to do is launch the FS Exo and watch that carnage.

That planet's name is fitting for that mass of purple.
