[edit] Host 186

New: Robot nest powers increased to taking 3% (was a random 0.00% to 3%) of all enemy colonists in range and has the side effect of killing an extra 4.5%. If you are in the circle of robot nest death you will loose 7.5% of your colonists per turn.

New: The range of the robot nest is based on turn number and number of insects and colonists on the base. The nest range has a minimum range of 30LY and a maximum range of 400 LY. At the beginning of the game the range will be about 100LY around the home world at turn 60 the range will be about 400 LY around all high population planets. The base will get a log message telling you the current nest range.

A = SQR(Colonists + Insectoids) / 5
B = 100 + Turn_Number * 5
If A < B then nest range is A.
If B < A then nest range is B.

New: The Robot Q Tanker is very hard to see, it has a sensor profile of only 5 at all times.
