In MoO2, the silicoid advisers were all differently colored rocks. The military one was painted camoflauge:

What's the prevailing opinion of the MoO reboot? I know it's paid beta right now, but one of you has to have bought in.

So at this point why aren't you just bombarding Raas planets into unpopulated hellscapes? Is it that hard to terraform them back up?

The idea of ground combat sounds interesting. Like, showing up with a tiny fleet and a giant wave of troop transports is an alternative to building a crazy supercarrier, or whatever.

Just, the implementation...

I mean, unless, being silicate intelligences with like no limbs, we were crucially disadvantaged when it came to actual combat power.

Silicoids are depressingly bad at ground combat. They have a lot of trouble, well, moving.

Basically ground strength doesn't matter because you tend to end up bombing them into dust anyway, and if you don't you can just build 3 times as many armies.

The Raas don't have the war in their favor, since anyone who holds the orbitals has a convenient depopulate button. The instant the :911: paladins of democracy :911: decide it's too much trouble to take them alive, they'll take them dead.

It's not like the rock people need planets to produce anything but minerals.

I really have to wonder how a society of shapeshifters work when it's only themselves that are around. Does everyone just default to some sort of generic, faceless blandness since there's no one around to trick, or does everyone try to look like the hottest, coolest celebrity their culture has ever seen?

What qualifies as hottest and coolest in a society of shape shifters?
