Mod: Phaser – A new player race.

10,000 years ago the Vasari were experimenting on a way to travel to a different dimension thru Phase Space. We know something went terribly wrong.

Now we know what it was. The Vasari tore a hole in Phase Space. From this hole came an entity composed of pure Phase Space energy, who had the ability to assimilate technology.

The Vasari tried to communicate with this entity to no avail.

One after another of the ships sent to try to communicate were assimilate. With ship after ship and planet after planet falling to the Phaser (The name given the entity by the Vasari) and with no ability to stop the Phaser. The Vasari did the only thing they could to save their race RUN!!

The Phaser has followed the Vasari for 10,000 years for reasons unknown. When the Vasari intered Trader space the Phaser first contact was a Pirate scout.

The Phaser assimilate this scout from the Vasari Mothership it inhabits. From there the Phaser has started creating a foot hold to assimilate everything.

The Phaser race has no custom ships or technology of their own. They only have what they assimilate and make slight modification to the Phase Space it assimilate.

1 Mothership with the Ability to Cloak for 60 seconds and regenerate. This tech is based on the Phase out hull and uses its info. This ability can be used on friendly ships and structures. This Mothership is the Phaser’s main link to our space. If it is lost it would take a huge amount of time, money, metal, and crystal to replace. Do not lost your mother ship. If you do you will be hard pressed to win the game. The Mothership is also your primary means of colonization. With it’s cloaking ability it should be very hard to destroy it as long as the Player keeps a close eye on it.

The only ship that the Phaser can build is based on the ship that it first assimilate, a pirate scout with the ability to assimilate every type of frigate.

The research for the Phaser is a mix of what it has learned from assimilate items and the Phase Gate tech that was used when the Phaser was brought into our space.

This Mod has been tested 60+ hours in single player games (Large/Huge). It seems to run with out problems. This Mod takes a fair amount of player interaction and strategy to be played successful.

You can merge my Mod with any other. Please give me credit for my part and maybe a PM letting me know would be nice. 

The Idea for this Mod is loosely based on an Idea from the

[ALPHA] PirateMod v0.3

This is the new updated 1.3 version. This version has both the Phaser and Merc/Pirate in it.
