1. Black hole that with it's gravitational forces within it's radius pulls your vessels. Only fast one can escape it's grasp and most big and slow ones (like tavara) can't escape and get destroyed in the centre.
Also small and medium ships could get small amount of hull damage because of the balck holes forces.

2. Nebula with different speed effect on ships. When your ship enters this nebula it is faster (or slower) in it.

I like the idea, those were both in A1 and I think also A2, but black holes worked kind of differently, u see only if your engines were down it pulled u in and destroyed u, soI think that would be better for fleetops too

Both are ok but just seems like a waste of modding time when we don't really need any extra map objects.

but it would be nice with them blackholes... could add some strategic points ingame and strategy changes..

About the nebulae - Is it possible for the Metreon gas nebulae to deliver damage in 'packs' rather than a continuous drain, like a weapon that fires on ships in it? Or could they even be changed so that they 'fire' lightnings or stuff that damage a ship within the nebula?

Yep, you are right ewm90 about Stephen. Everyone who is interested in that matter i am willingly to describe it in details.

That would be funny, better yet put some sort of combat tractor on scouts and watch one pull a battleship in while its busy shooting at something else.
