I am not sure here, but are't Devnulmod Monsters' planet cloaked and undetectable ? Sorry, did' play Devnulmod for long time.
I tried to make a planetary cloaking facility in SE4, but it wouldn't work.

Re: New Weapons Ideas
planet cloaks work. either as a component or as a facility. it uses the sector site obscuration ability, and has the side effect of cloaking all ships and bases in the sector.

2. More sorting options for Planets. Add the sorting option to sort by atmosphere type. Example would be only show Oxygen worlds - uncolonized, colonized, etc.

You can actually do this - just sort by planet picture, and since the pics happen to be sorted by atmosphere and size, the planets will be too! 
(This may not work with the ImageMod, though, as it adds some extra planets at the end of the list  )

I tried doing that, but when I took controll of a race without any sensor tech, I could still see everything in the sector of the planet with the facility.

Go get Devnull Mod and check out how the Monsters cloak their HW. Keep in mind that all ships have a built-in level 1 passive (or is it active?) EM scanner, so if you tried level 1 cloaking, it would not work well. |

This is a good idea. Also add this sorting to the Colonization window. This way you can sort what colonies you want to send ships to. IE you have captured a Hydrogen planet filled with hydrogen breathers and all you want to do now is send out ships from this planet to colonize ONLY hydrogen planets. By being able to sort by atmosphere type and one could better deploy his colony ships. This would become a VERY useful feature IMHO. I wish we had it now.

Re: New Weapons Ideas
I believe you can sort by atmosphere in the Planet Window... or did I miss something?

Re: New Weapons Ideas
Some good suggestions, but I have got to disagree with this one.
--- Population Converter. A weapon that changes the population of a planet into your population. (It converts them by using a biological mutation virus.) ---
I know we are talking about pretty advanced civilations, but I just can't see how any technology could turn any race into another. How could any virus turn the EEE into the Cryslonite or Terrans, etc?
