Nebula (SEIV)

From SEWiki

A Nebula in Space Empires IV is a system-wide phenomenon that provides a level of natural cloaking for anything within it. In earlier versions of the vanilla game, the level of cloaking given was as follows:

• Level 5 : red
• Level 4 : green
• Level 3 : orange/brown
• Level 2 : cyan
• Level 1 : violet

Modded games may change this, however, and versions of SEIV after 1.49 include a number of additional nebula images, so the above list may not be stricly accurate. To mod nebulae, alter the SystemTypes.txt file.

Nebulae can be created with a Nucleonic Thresher Torpedo, or destroyed using a Nebulae Graviton Emitter.

Nebulae are often confused with storms, which can also have cloaking effects, but only occupy one sector.
