Black hole, not Wormhole. Wormhole=SPOILER BAD GUYS and cannot be entered. Black hole=Thing that sucks things in in a sucky way.

So I geared my entire research base over to research rate, lasers and missiles. When the Invaders "went on leave" (cough) I saw a great opportunity. I'll research some good stuff then see how long my ships can hold Sol.

Is it possible to capture a

It is, but the failure rate is made of the fibers of Hell so it will likely explode next cycle.

EDIT:

Annual Failure Rate: 164424%

The *SPOILER*Matriarch*SPOILER* is even worse.

[The Scout]

Is there any way to spawn one, or do I have to track one down?

You need to hunt one down. You can view all ships in existence if you have the designer password and you can probably give it orders too.

The developer mode isn't working. I type the password in, and nothing happens.

If it doesn't throw up an error then it's activated.

No, I meant wormhole. As in, lure

Although using black holes to vaccum up

is a good idea, seeing as how there is no real benefit to fighting them when you don't have to.

I've read somewhere that the Invader's slow but high damaging attacks can get some issues with the Swarm's shields which could possibly create this awkward limbo situation where they can't kill each other.

It'd probably be more up to the Swarm to kill the Invaders instead of vice versa.

[Flying Dice]

From what I understand it usually ends up with the *SPOILERS*Invaders*SPOILERS* losing a couple ships but wiping out the *SPOILERS*Swarm*SPOILERS* because they can take out the *SPOILERS*Soldiers*SPOILERS* from long range (80,000kps plasma torp > 10,000kps meson-armed FAC), and then just pound the *SPOILERS*Hive(s)*SPOILERS* until it/they pop. But if the *SPOILERS*Swarm*SPOILERS* ever manage to get into meson range they rip the *SPOILERS*Invaders*SPOILERS* a new one. So either way, one or both enemies is eliminated or severely reduced.

Also, from what I've heard, Hives can be overwhelmed just by hitting them with enough missiles, so it seems that even with a slower RoF the high strength and speed of plasma torps at closer ranges would still be able to break them. Keep in mind too that since p torps are EW they can never run out of ammo, so the Invader ships could potentially squish the Soldiers and then hold the range open while plastering the Hive.

Bleh, my AV program was flagging a bunch of DLL files as trojans, so I ran a system restore, with the unfortunate side effect of deleting my saves. Oh well.

When unrest is increasing, and soldiers are dropped on the planet and lower it (probably by shooting troublemakers), how do I make it stay down instead of getting constant unrest rising/decreasing messages?
