Fire breathing dragon nebula

I have been out in the void too long and I am seeing things....please tell me this nebula looks like a fire breathing dragon, or else I am going mad....

My god, it's true, the great fire breathing Space Horse has come for us!!


In other news, may I introduce the constellation "Porkius Piggius"

As long as it's not a Fuolomis Fire Dragon Burger, they always give me heartburn.

It's a Void Creature.

  • Extraction – the method of extraction depends upon the resource type but importantly, all methods of extraction require moment to moment gameplay that rewards skilful and attentive players
    • Mineral and frozen liquid bodies can be attacked with mining lasers which “break off” flecks of resource
      • Depending on the accuracy of these attacks (based on data acquired through scanning) the flecks will:
        • Take longer to break off
        • Be more or less valuable
        • Poor accuracy can reduce the overall amount of resource obtained
      • Different resources can require specialised mining laser types to improve yield/allow extraction
        • Incorrect laser types can trigger potentially dangerous reactions as well as decrease yield
      • Flecks can be collected, at which point they become canisters of the appropriate resource
    • Gas/dust clouds must be flown through with an appropriate scoop
      • Depending on the accuracy of the flight path the yield may be greater or less
      • The cloud is dispersed over time as the commander flies through it
      • Some gas/dust clouds require specific types and grades of scoop
      • Some gas/dust clouds may suffer reactions based on vessel temperature and speed of travel
        • Incorrect management of speed and temperature can cause potentially dangerous reactions as well as decrease yield
      • For every X amount of a resource scooped an appropriate canister is created in the hold
    • In all cases, there are other potential effects from harvesting:
      • Contamination - this can occur during the extraction process, by collecting and storing the resource or simply by being within the vicinity
        • Specialised scanners and ship monitoring systems can alert the commander to contamination
      • Void creatures - space contains a number of base intelligence critters that can be disturbed whilst detecting and extracting resources
        • Most are hostile, a few can become valuable resources themselves
    • Drones - commanders may equip and employ drones to collect solid resources in the same way that they can collect floating canisters (this is an alternative method of collection for vessels without an operational cargo scoop
    • Auto miners - potentially not for release one: these are large deployed devices that can mine a location over time, allowing the player to collect them at a later date
      • They cannot be found by other human commanders unless the commander is also present at the location, though on return commanders may find that they have suffered malfunctions or been contaminated
        • More expensive auto miners are more resilient to adverse effects and can offer greater yields

It was a trap! I got closer and it disappeared into a cloud of gas, as if it was a nebula all along....and then this planet was mocking me....
