You're probably thinking of this post:

"Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - More goodies on the way...

We're getting ready to put some new ships up and we're going to put them up in the library here along with the source files we used to create them so that you can make your own ships.

The first ship to be released is called the Death Knight and is an evil civilization tech.

Another ship coming up is the Bombardment Cruiser. It attacks ships and undefended planets (on undefended planets it basically zaps population)."

Does sound very cool , but just be patient. You know how hard these guys work. There's a very good chance that they are trying to play balance these things before releasing them to us... or maybe the ships are on the back burner while they continue to hone 1.03.

Either way you know Brad wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't going to happen.

Thanks Thrull... I like reassurance!

Semper Fi

I would like a ship that can attack planets while I am waiting for my transports to slug their way across to where I want them.

It should have a penalty of destroying planetary improvements (0% - 15% chance to damage one) or maybe even reduce the quality of the world by 1 (0% - 3% chance) as well as reduce the population by a good bit (1% - 2% per ship attacking).

This just goes to show what will happen when you start throwing energy down at valuable planets.

Attacking planets would be a real nice feature! I'd like it just for the satisfaction of wiping out a few cities on the way of invading a planet.
