    mass caravans of platy-morphs carrying goods over my enslaved planets. Allowing the powerless commoners to trade goods and enact a medieval life-style for my pleasure :devil:

    An interesting question on this subject would be how the stats are determined. I hope the system will be similar to how randomly generated weapons will work; namely that the base (or, in the case of monsters, maybe even the separate parts) determine border values for each attribute, as well as a pool of special traits or abilities that could be picked. Maybe give each part a weight value, and the "leg" part a mobility value (and mobility bonuses, or special mobility traits like "flying" for bonus parts like wings), and weigh them out against each other to determine the total agility.

    If I encounter a massive rock monster, I'd expect it to be rather slow, have a moderate defense and high health, as well as some rock-related abilities (shielding attacks, throwing rocks, sending out earthquakes). If an experienced player could predict movement, abilities, health, and special abilities of a newly encountered monster by quickly analyzing its visuals, that'd make for a very nice gameplay element.

    I'm hoping the higher level planets would have monsters that drive you mad with fear..
    Considering that.. Oh god, getting all geared up, with the best tech you can find, and then going to your first level 100 planet..
    Only to be brutally mutilated by a Pink Platysaurus.
