Has Anyone seen a space monster since 1.03 came out?

At the very, very end of my last game, I heard something about a space monster. But as that was the turn I won a tech victory, I never actually saw it.

Are we walking about those red things that look like giant dragonflys? I've seen those in 3.05

Haven't seen a Space Shark since my first two games and never saw the Draginol etc. I've seen the AI get a few nice events, such as 57 Precursor Corvettes in the mid-game, while I got "lucky" with 2 Precursor Corvettes as a "boost" for my 25+ Rangers In one game I got a popup about averting a terrorist threat when I wiped out the Dmer minor race.

Yeah I've had a couple of spacesharks kill themself on my starbases. (Overkillers Mark II )

I saw one briefly, just in time to kill it after it almost killed itself attacking an ally's planet. Out of, I dunno, five games?

I haven't seen it but once, and it was dispatched easily by my somewhat nerfed Battle Hammers due to the dismal defense of the poor thing.

I wish I could make the Draginol event happen every other game. That is so cool . . . just when you're cruising to a victory, here comes the bad dudes . . .

I had some space sharks escape from the zoo in the latest version.

I got a message once about a space monster disrupting trade routes, but never saw it anywhere...

Yes, I voted the Zoo to the Altarians and the Space Sharks popped out right away.

I've seen them. They are rarer on their own now. They seem to be spawning about the same from the Space Zoo.

So they are less common than they were back in 1.01.
yes?

Later versions have altered the time at which certain events can pop up. What might be happening is that the Zoo event that creates the escaped monsters isn't occuring as early anymore, so there's a longer period between starting a game and the space monsters even having a chance to pop out?

Space sharks I miss you..... (:(

I liked the crystal from MOO2. CAn we get us one of those?

In the patch the probability of devastating Random Events was lowered for lower difficulty settings.

I only started with 1.03 and I haven't seen a monster yet.

I had a couple of times a random event giving 100 Precursor Crovettes. Once it happened to me and once to another race.

On the whole I'd like to see a greater frequency of events as well as of Council meetings. They are way too infrequent for my liking.

That said, game is great.

I have completed several games on small to large maps and while receiving notices of monsters in the area, I have never encountered one (even after clearing the entire map after receiving a notice). I don't know if this is a game problem or simply random events by design. :notsure:
