Summary0001503: More units for the Dyson minor faction
DescriptionThe Zenith used more than one kind of unit, the Spire used more than one kind of unit, you, the AI, and other minor factions use more than one kind of unit, the Dyson should also leave the monotone trend it has been following.

I propose having at least the triangle ships being added to their arsenal (or even replacing the original).

-On a side note, if the Dyson are at such an advanced state that they are impenetrable to any and all attacks, shouldn't the Dyson Gatlings also have some degree of irresisablility [at least until they have attritioned themselves to death]?

They got a buff in 4.034
""Dyson Gatling Health increased by factor of 10. Also, they now take 1000 seconds to auto-decay instead of 200 seconds (it had been 1000 before the removal of a standard 5x health multiplier). Also can now hit UltraHeavy and Structural hulltypes again, but should still be unable to hit all guard posts to avoid freeing stuff.""

I haven't run into them in a while so don't know if they need a attack buff as well.


Personally, I would not like them to loose their unique "Gatlings" and become more vanilla with common triangle ships. I like to refer to Starcraft I, the first game I know of that made 3 very distinct races work. Another type of Gatling or two could be interesting.

I don't see that adding that would add anything strategically for the players or much in the way of extra interest for the faction. It's interesting extra flavor, but that's a case of the juice not being worth the squeeze, here.

They could use always having a Z Power Gen or something in their system.
