Psionic snowflake

[yorev]

i'm fighting the experimentator, it's hard to get rid of him^^

i have an issu with psionic monster, my fleet is tae ghirus, organic metabolism, telepathy

so it should be immune vs control mind but i have some fleets which turn rogue, which should not happen

otherwise, that was 1 year i didn't play to freeorion, a good work, thanks to the team

I thought only inorganic species were immune to the PS. I always try to have Cray or Exobot (if that's the best I can do) crewed ships if they're in the picture. I'm not sure what others might work.

Code: Select all

        EffectsGroup
            scope = NumberOf number = 4 condition = And [
                Ship
                WithinStarlaneJumps jumps = 1 condition = Source
                HasTag name = "ORGANIC"
            ]
            activation = Random probability = 0.2
            effects = SetOwner empire = Source.Owner

        EffectsGroup
            scope = NumberOf number = 12 condition = And [
                Ship
                WithinStarlaneJumps jumps = 1 condition = Source
                HasTag name = "ORGANIC"
                Not HasTag name = "TELEPATHIC"
                Not OwnerHasTech name = "LRN_PSY_DOM"
            ]
            activation = Random probability = 0.8
            effects = SetOwner empire = Source.Owner
    ]

So, Organic crewed ships, regardless of telepathy status, are always vulnerable. Organic crewed ships without either telepathy or Psionic Domination are very vulnerable.

To be honest I've never been 100% happy with those restrictions but I'm not happy with the way telepathy integrates with a lot of things anyway. Non-Organic crews are the way to go for now (We'll want to change that at some point), with Etty, Trith, Acirema or Laenfa being best choices.

Personally I'd never build a warship with a Tae Ghirus crew, they can barely hit a barn door

because it was the only specie i had with telepathy when i create my builder on a blackhole system

i suggest pedia will be updated, because when i click on telepathy that doesn't say telepathy doesn't work for organism species

"with Etty, Trith, Acirema or Laenfa being best choices."

Etty is a robotic specie without telepathy
acirema is a self-substanting without telepathy

how could they been immune?

Because only Organic species are vulnerable, Etty are the best pilots in the non-organic species range.
