In the first or second game I played I had a space monster take out one of my star bases. Twenty plus games later I have never seen another space monster. Are they that rare or were they taken out of the game?

Well the ocurence of the events such as monsters and pirates are now lowered a lot , before if you get Space Zoo you automatically in few turms get monsters escape , if you get galactic prison you after few turns had prisoners escapes , now this happens MUCH less.

Talk about Irony. I post about the monsters and in my next game I get the zoo and 3 of the beasts escape. It cost me about 20 frigates, 6 corvettes, system garrison and a couple of battleships to exterminate them.
Maybe I'll pass on the Zoo next time.

I'd like to see more pirates.
Pirate starbases, Pirate fleets.
What I see now is 1-3 random pirate ships that seem to be LOSING HITPOINTS automatically.
They decide to ram themselves into my starbases in a blaze of glory.

Got a space monster yesterday. I spot it right after the event message, he had like 1500 hp max, but its current hp were 20 or so. He was in the middle of my sector, and there was nothing that could have brought it down from 1500 hp to 20 hp in just a turn. That doesn't seem normal...

Heh I ahve never seen space monsters or pirates in any game. I wish we could set the % chance of occurance. Thoes events are rare in my games on normal for some reason.

I have to say, I LIKE that they are so rare.
Otherwise it wouldn't be a special event, it would just be a standard feature of the game.
The same with the different minor races/event like terrorist, fundamentalists, Draginol... makes the single games more unique.

I got that stupid evil presence event once. It took over a 5 planet system with over 80 Billion people. It took FOREVER to finally capture it. Too bad I just couldn't bomb it from space...

Man, I've never had ANY of that happen. Of course I'm only on my 4th game so I really can't complain. I'm anxious to run into a monster though, what's the tech path to stellar zoo?

It's a UP issue (Who gets it).
It provides temporary bonus but can have escaping Belua

I have run into pirates once and never with space monsters.
