[EvilTarium]

i desided to retreat my ships, to see if i could save any, and this beast comes and attacks the world they fled to. its now bombing my world.

its even heating the planets in my system.

[Sir Calen]

Is it one of the leviathans? I've heard a few types will chase you if you attack them.

Haha, that sounds awesome.

-- You find a time worn monument on a barren and desolate world. It seems to be made of a strange metal almost impossible to take apart, surrounded by ruins that look almost like a wax model melting in the sun.
What seems to a button takes a prominent place on the front of the monolith, almost daring you to press it. --

-- This is obviously a memento of races long gone. We should respect its creators by leaving it as it is. -- ( + 100 influence for respecting the remains of a long dead civilisation)

-- The monument is obviously made of materials that would be invaluable for our spaceships. Take it apart to learn the secrets of its making! -- (+ 5 hull strength empire modifier) The monolith was even harder to disassemble than it looked, if that was even possible. Taking it apart revealed machines that almost immediately crumbled when exposed to air, but our scientists were able to discover much about the material of the monuments tough outer surface.
Unfortunately the material is prohibitively expensive, but insight into its creation gave our scientists deeper insights into advanced production processes.

-- We must press the button. Science demands it! --

"If you are reading this, you are one step removed from total annihilation. Stay away from sytem 328.98.0.A. The inhabitant of that hellish system has followed our foolish military here, to our once lush homeworld.

We didn't stand a chance. It bombarded our planet with otherworldly fire and heated the entire system to the point where life was all but impossible. We were powerless before its malevolent incandescence.

Stay away or suffer our fate."

-- The monument hums and a heavily armored compartment slides open, revealing a plate made of the same material as the surface of the monument. On it, you find detailed information regarding the origin of the being that devastated this system. --

Triggers a research project that will give you an empire wide boost to damage reduction of whatever that thing uses to blast stuff, garnered by researching the remains of cities and ship wrecks on the planet surface.

I think it's the general A.I.

People are complaining about fleets getting aggro'd onto your stuff and will follow it all the way back to your bases. They never run away once they are aggro'd. I even abused this in a game. I was losing a fleet battle badly so I ran.... all the way to my massive starport. Enemy fleet suicided into it.

I actually never encountered this against neutral beings before. I fled from drones and neutral beings plenty of times, when the general health of my ships got low enough that I knew I would lose several ships before winning the battle if I didn't disengage.

I have yet to have one of these fleets of crystals, amoebas or energy beings follow me back even one system, let alone several.

The AI fleets I can understand. They follow your fleet because they were winning - you don't let an enemy fleet get away to upgrade and meet up with reinforcements.
