The fallen militant isolationist bird people empire right below me is quite annoying. Systems around them are key for expanding my empire, but I have to leave pockets open so that they don't get angry from border friction and invade me. Pirates spawn in there like mad.

If you check the fleet manager, it'll tell you how strong it's supposed to be. I think something's fucky, because the manager expects corvettes to be at least twice as strong as the equivalent amount of bigger ships, so majority-corvette armies will always be in the red.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:What is the best way to deal with a Void Cloud early game when I have tier 1 weapons and have not seen any potential weapon upgrades until I just now started researching Space Torpedoes? I would really like it dead but I have lost a good 20 Corvettes trying to bumrush it and i never get it below 600 health. Missile boat corvette swarm, no other weapons other than nukes, no armor, no shields. Each ship will cost about 115 minerals each. Any cannons are a waste, those shields are too thick and a waste of minerals. Same with armor and shields. Retrofit to a sane design once your cloud hunt is done.

The real space and it's new worlds sub mod are real nice for visuals and galaxy gen. But it completely breaks the game like whoa. Every other system has 3 planets even at 0.5x and many systems have 10+ minerals in space, sometimes even 20+.

Ehh it adds more planets per system but most of them are crappy, and while it does make the map slightly richer I don't think it hugely affects the balance. Just increase the number of empires a bit to squash people up more.

I always found it weird that you can't remove "beneficial" traits, especially when "beneficial" includes stuff like "Servile - you're a mindless brute who just listens to what your master tells you".

Does anyone else feel like gateways are prohibitively expensive? You could easily cut the prices in half and be on target. Why would I spend 10,000 energy and 5000 minerals to reactivate or 10000 minerals to build a structure that just cuts down on travel time when wormholes exist?

You unlock the "Genetic Resequencing" tech which has to be researched first, but it gives you both that and unlocks all the traits that make the Evolution path worthwhile, including a more powerful version of the Servile trait and a trait that makes livestock species even tastier. E: "That" being the ability to remove teal traits and add red ones. Zulily Zoetrope fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Mar 1, 2018 |

Genetic engineering could use a 'drift' mechanic. Instead of trait points being a buy/sell mechanic it should be the limit on how many changes you can make in one go. The idea being that you can gradually improve a species as much as you want as long as you're willing to spend the time and research on it. First generation improvement adds strong and enduring. Second upgrades to very strong, third upgrades to venerable. The game would keep track of a species generation count and add a cost multiplier.

It annoys me when I genetically engineer an entire species but it turns out there were a couple of them in colony ships or something and they don't get engineered. I then have to spend a flat 5,000 research to engineer two pops or put up with messiness. Maybe creating templates should have the flat 5,000 research cost, then applying the template costs you per-pop, rather than applying the template costing 5,000 research plus per-pop cost.

I am continuing to enjoy this good game, I don't mind the change to hyperspace lanes only because it's forced me to play the game a bit differently. It also took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that the cost of new outposts wasn't related to the "value" of the system but rather the distance from another owned system - I don't know why I thought that was the case. I am looked forward to the changes on war exhaustion though, I'm playing a devouring swarm and was a couple months from just munching up the last remnants of my neighbour but now I have to wait ten years to finish that fucker off. He'll probably make a dozen defensive alliances before then.

But I might be misremembering. 92 is how many ships the template has assigned to it, you can end up with the template actually going over the cap sometimes due to weirdness, you can only manually set it up to the cap though. E: Apparently you can build habitats anywhere now? Doesn't need to be around a planet, that's novel.

Man, it takes a long rear end time, but when you research Wormholes, things take off again in a whole new way. I lucked out and I just happened to have one open into a Fanatical Purifier that I was already at war with, but couldn't reach. Suddenly, I have a ton of new territory. That's definitely extremely satisfying.

How's the difficulty for you guys? My Very Hard diff/High Aggression genocide robots run has kinda hit the steamrolling pace and I'm just about to hit midgame. I only had a single tense early game war with a neighbor that I won through camping my defensive starbase, racking up their casualties for a pocket auto-status quo, and bumrushed key systems to slow their momentum when I finally had the upper hand. After that, the AI just would not risk a war against my super bastions but couldn't clean up their own neighbors, leading me to eventually overpower them though robot optimization and tech. I'd have figured they'd be making alliance blocs against me now.

Marauders used to gently caress me up until I figured out that they'll path way the gently caress around FTL inhibitors and that you can just fortify one border system/wormhole in case they target you directly. That, combined with enough deterrence that no standard empire will ever declare on me, means I'm usually trucking along until a crisis either fucks me up or happens so far away that I can just chip away at it while someone else gets hosed over.

Once you have a few set up, the ability to instantly teleport from any key point in the empire to any other key point is amazing and a total game changer. I guess if you already have a convenient wormhole they are less useful but that's not always going to happen.
