I hope this will lead to a sort of Michael Caine Vs Zulus approach, with the swarm ships being a bit flimsy, but just outnumbering the enemy. This pack also includes the converging lasers effect, and a smart bomb system which gives the swarm a great anti-missile defense, at the cost of them not being able to use their own missiles much either. I also wanted ships that had some transparency, and looked like birds of prey. Plus it was time for some gold colors :D.<\/p>\n<p>My current plan is that this is the last new race for GSB. Campaign next, then whatever game comes next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The swarm are coming. There is no place to hide.
