damn, i forgot what the sporators were..those thingies reducing the damage of all ship???

anyhow, of course either the sporators or their generator must selfdestruct thats clear to everyone...

Awe Wizz, if it gets its turn its likely to be destroyed anyway, and the sporators will self destruct next turn whether they are useful or not. It does not need sd.

"and the created ships will stay in that fleet after battle."
--> so the sporators stay as far as i understand. if the generator will stay too after battle then there will be a bug in gameplay:

1) be in an alliance and build as much of those generators you can.

2) attack an ally who builds a fleet of shieldgenerators

3) save the new sporos in a second fleet and go back to step 1 until you attacked all available ally fleets(3 fleets per player gives you more than 600 sporos per ally !!!) and got enough sporos

4) fly home and recycle all sporos (with 15 allies for about 12000 mp)
--> i dont know exactly how the mp-control works but possibly then continue the game with 17000 mp

5) if you are not fed up yet return to step 1 the next day (possibly even having more sporogenerators )

will it happen that way or am i wrong at some step ?

I dont think you can get extra mp by recycling, The sporators have to stay cos there would be no point in creating a class 1 ship from class 2 otherwise. But if that is what you feared you could make it so only one of the ships could operate.

yes for sure the sporators have to stay, but i rather fear the mp-control is such a simple thing that gives you the mp when you recycle.
even if it checks that actual free mp cant exceed your maximum mp, it s still possible to have a fleet with double the mp thats allowed....

but after all and all the possible problems i dont see the point in that ship. i think there allready is a ship in game which destroys itself and gives you some hundred interceptors isnt that enough. why should i generate 3 sporators - i think the effect isnt worth a new ship... otherwise i claim to make a new ship for each of the following:
create 1 fighter, create 2 minedeployer, create 3 holocarrier etc.....

Versions of which have all been suggested !!!

honestly.. i dont think the ship is very useful.. marlito and i had a convo about this ship.. i think it was him.. but anyways there is some use for it but the major "un-wanted-ness" of this ship is the self destruct and very little use of it
