1.5 will include a splash screen on game start that is just "MAKE SPACE GREAT AGAIN" is bold letters in a garish font.

I wonder how orbital habitats will work with the combat AI? Right now it shoots at anything belonging to a hostile empire, which is slightly annoying when you plan on capturing a system whose mining stations (if they are still intact) would flip to your empire after you conquer the planet. I'm hoping we will have the ability to blockade planets without blowing up the habitats containing millions of people first.

There aren't really enough international consequences for being an rear end in a top hat. The game really needs some sort of passive generic trade benefit to having neighbors that like you, so there are immediate consequences to being an rear end in a top hat. Something like that could be used to balance play styles- either you keep your pops happy with slavery while your neighbors sanction you, or you're a nice country that trades with its neighbors to compensate for the expense of running utopian species policies for everyone.

It has always been a bit of a curiosity for me that there doesn't really seem to be any consequences for ravaging your way across the galaxy since there aren't really any major economic effects or even significant diplomatic effects (outside of fallen empires early to mid game) that would discourage you. Other empires don't really give a fig what you tend to do with the conquered remnants of another empire aside from, "be unhappy" or "maybe send insults" even if they were former allies of said empire. It tends to garner a map painting simulator sort of feel in a vanilla EU IV kind of way. Really looking forward to Banks, but also suffering from the not wanting to play until the patch comes out syndrome. As an aside, I used several of the trading mods off of the workshop from time to time and the extra civilian traffic definitely brings the galaxy to life, especially the silly billboards.

I'm really really curious how they'd do orbitals. I'd love to see them as full fledged upgradable colonies that can grow out of mining stations. So you start with a mining/science station, upgrade it to the point that it can fit a single pop who then works the resource at a bonus but now requires food and the stuff that goes along with being a pop. Global food would obviously help this. Just like upgrading starbases you could upgrade orbital habs as you upgrade them with slots. This would keep space resources competitive in the long term, and be rad as hell because planets are loving lame space should be 100% orbitals. Really I'd love for planet and orbital management just to be merged into system management. Planets and orbitals just add up together for the system's pop cap.

I wonder how combat would be if fleets had morale. Researching auxiliary items and whatnot to boost it and special weapons to deal extra morale damage. Fleets that lose morale would retreat, also lower chance for lost ships and increased for damage when fleeing. Maybe severely hurt ships would attempt to disengage from combat and so on so everyone isn't a fanatical lunatic willing to fight to the last corvette. Battles would be a lot less decisive but there'd less need to rebuild everything if you lose. Obviously I don't know if it would actually be a good idea but currently it's like playing EU4 with everyone sitting on one province islands except you can't hide your fleet in port.

Considering the patch name, I for one will be deeply disappointed if they're not massive planet replacements run by vastly intelligent godlike AIs that keep the inhabitants as pets out of gratitude for building them.

Well, sapient ship AI is already a thing, so people with that tech being able to apply it to orbital habitats as well (maybe with another tech) wouldn't be a stretch and would indeed be very neat.

That way they can't attempt to unplug sorry, i should have been more clear. that was a joke. the only actual problem with sentient combat computers is that you need to research the techs that enable the rogue AI crisis to get there - which, even if the crisis never happens, will piss off a materialist FE.

ulmont posted:Fanatic Purifier AIs should really have something like the crisis mechanics in place (other than for Fallen Empires, probably) giving permanent hostility etc. etc. Yeah, I think extreme dispositions should definitely merit lots of opposition as opposed to Pacifistic forms of government. The diplomacy in Stellaris as it currently is is a tad too simplistic to really do power dynamics like CK2, but perhaps that isn't part of the game design. I can live with it, because space battles are cool and superweapons soon.. one day..

I don't think it's the case of anyone melting down. Wiz's "It's not funny anymore" was the perfect end to that joke. It's done now. If you find that someone's bothered by a thing that you don't care about... that's fine, isn't it? Unless your goal is specifically to be an rear end in a top hat, like Chomp, I don't see why going, "huh, I guess that's not appreciated," isn't the default response to this kind of backlash.
