Terraform Ship

Starships —> Abilities —> Terraform Ship

There are the three starships that are able to transform a planet's climate just by orbiting it. Each starship will change the temperature by 1°W each turn.

Bohemian Class Survey Ship: Will make a planet warmer until a temperature of 50°W is reached.
Eros Class Research Vessel: Will make a planet cooler until a temperature of 50°W is reached.
Onyx Class Frigate: Will make a planet hotter until a temperature of 100°W is reached, at which point the planet will be a hot boiling pool of rock and desert.
Pyrite Class Frigate: This Campaign starship uses its Sunburst Device to increase the temperature of a planet as far away as 200 light-years.

Starships which are transforming the climate of a planet will report the temperature of the surface of the planet to the starship's controller each turn. Terraforming is performed after starship movement.

This ability is automatically activated when the starship is in orbit of a planet with a temperature within the range that the ship can modify. No special Mission or Friendly Code is required to activate this ability.
