Default Doomsday Machine?

How do you suppose one could mod a 'doomsday device' like the one we all remember and love from Star Trek TOS? Some huge machine roaming the galaxy eating whatever came into it's path... ah, the romance...

Is there a way to mod something that any race can build but then takes on a mind of it's own once unleashed?

not one that can steer its self. you can mod an AI doomsday machine, and the Monsters in the Devnull Mod are much like this. Im sure the AI could even figure out how to use planet destroyers.

Oh, yes. They use planet destroyers, and star destroyers, quite well, once they finally get them built and decide to start using them. I currently have an AI race which only uses stellar manip components (special racial tech), and I had to take out the star destroying ones to keep them from being too powerful.
