Genesis Device questions

I tried to make an event that would trigger and convert the nearest class 0 planet into a class 5 planet, and after that destroy the trigger. The trigger was a starbase, that was destroyed after the creation. I tried making it trigger every time that starbase was constructed, but I failed miserably. Just doesn't work without coding something like that in.

I think this is a case of 'wait until Dark Avatar comes out'.

Hmmm. Alright, but there is a UP vote for a new planet.. isn't that a kind of genesis device, the nature's way? Would you guys think it's possible to modify a copy of that code to trigger upon a genesis station/torpedoship? Without the voting part heh.

Or do we definately have to wait for dark avatar? I'm gonna see if I can find that part myself after work today and see if there's any way. Where would it be in?

Thanks, guys!

I would think the genesis device would be a combat option that cost $1m credits and re-rolled the planet..

So, instead of a 15pq Altarian planet, you could get a 9 PQ Empty planet, or a 24 PQ empty planet.

I know you should be able to 'upgrade' existing planets, but part of the point of why it was banned was because of it's military applications.. (So, you would probably get -diplo with good an neutral, as well.)

Actually, I'm sort of working on something like that. Not really.
It's nothing special - basically, it ramps up the frequency of United Planets Council issues from every what, 20 weeks to about half that. It doesn't get annoying, trust me - I'm working on some UI stuff to keep it unique. Anyway, all I'm really doing is throwing in a bunch more of those event types - I say that a race of furry rats have increased its livablitiy, or a huge mine of silver nitrate was found and it help Terraform (Toriaform? Drengiaform?) the planet.

I'll throw it in soon - but I really want to see it as more of an ability, rather than a random event.

UI is every last week of December.
