Do claims ever expire? My vassal hates my guts because they have some silly notions about an indivisible part of my empire being their home planet or something. Is there any way to make them retract a claim?

I'm in the same boat and it looks like nope, claims are functionally a permanent relationship debuff. poo poo, my uppity vassals are even claiming my home planet at this point. They're just gonna keep on claiming poo poo and working themseves into a progressively bigger huff about it, too.

Downloaded the 2.0.2 beta and my saved game won't run.. it gets about 5 seconds in and crashes to desktop.. /sigh... Oh well, time to start a new robotic overlord empire I suppose.

So uh, is the militarist war exhaustion gain bugged? I’m in the beta, going against a fanatic xenophobe-pacifist while being a fanatic egalitarian militarist. I’m gaining much higher attrition exhaustion than they are. I’m currently at 18 attrition while they are at 12. Im pretty sure it should be the other way around.

you're probably losing a few more ships as a proportion of your total. if you manage to occupy a few planets your exhaustion will turn around. and with status quo peace you'll be able to keep them regardless of who gets to 100% first.

2.02 bug found during a beta test game tonight: 1) Own a system with a planet and a starbase 2) Have some jerk take over your system but not your planet 3) You can build (their pattern) defense platforms for the starbase (that they control) 4)

Jazerus posted:The wormhole connections aren't always going to be useful for you, if they happen to be then you don't have to bother with gates. Yeah, that's kind of exactly my point. It's not like having gates isn't useful, but two gates hardly lets you "centralize ship production". Gates are useful, but I don't see any clear argument that two gates are 20,000 minerals useful, or that 3 gates are 30,000 minerals useful. Even if you had three perfectly placed ruined gates, I think you'd have a hard time claiming that they're as useful as 15,000 minerals and 30,000 energy. I mean energy is worthless but accumulating 30,000 of it takes a non-zero amount of time. I'm saying you could cut gate costs in half and they'd be about right. 5,000 minerals per build (which is half as much as a habitat, for something that provides travel convenience and generates absolutely no resources) 5000 energy/2500 minerals per reactivation. Those seem like sane numbers to me that would give you the ability to establish a gate network in the mid-game where it's actually useful, instead of being able to establish one during the post-crisis mop-up-the-survivors phase of the game.

Because putting a Gate on two (or more) shipyards, one Gate to each shipyard, and one closest to the probable frontline of whatever conflict you are likely to wage does in fact make matters a whole lot easier...? By the time Gateway Construction is a thing raw mineral output shouldn't be much of a constraint. I think you're the only person I've ever seen anywhere suggest that a gate network, in this newly extremely slowed down hyperlanes only 2.0 reality, is anything less than insanely helpful

The gates are fantastic but they should be cheaper, or maybe that's just the sense of balance I get playing on .25 planet maps, which translate into less resources.

Most of the ascension perks that have additional costs beyond the initial buy in aren't really justifiable, they're only practical if you're already running away with the game. Megastructures? If I have that many minerals to spare it means I already have a sizable, well-developed empire that's probably the best in the galaxy, with enough fleet that I don't feel a need to spend minerals on it to stay secure. Species upgrade projects take an absurdly long time. Gaia terraforming is not at all worth it by that point in the game unless you're Life Seeded, which is in itself basically just handicapping yourself by volunteering for an OCC. I honestly feel the material costs could be reduced by like, 4x and the research costs for species upgrades by like, 10x (really I'd just ditch the research-to-modify-species mechanic altogether and pay food or minerals / energy over time.) Edit: Maybe this is all more a commentary on how this game doesn't escape the usual 4x trap of a mopup phase endgame, even though the end game crises help with that. Still, in the ideal situation for someone wanting, say, Habitats (a small geographically constrained empire) I'd still never take the pick because a small empire is never going to be able to afford them when it makes a difference. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Mar 2, 2018 |

Can't build a black hole observatory around a black hole! F'in worm bs. Spanish Matlock posted:I mean I might be biased because I control both sides of a wormhole from NE to SW in my galaxy, and I have like 4 giant allies in a big federation who have other wormholes elsewhere I can use, but I honestly just don't know when I'd be in a position where I'm so far ahead of the rest of the galaxy that I could afford to throw away tens of thousands of minerals and energy on setting up a travel network. Yeah if you happen to have a ton of usable wormholes then the gates don't matter. I've got zero wormholes but am fighting to capture a gate system that will actually let me move across the galaxy in <50 years. I'm actually considering just waiting the 720 days to activate the gate rather than wait for my dudes to slow boat it. really queer Christmas posted:So uh, is the militarist war exhaustion gain bugged?

I love the idea of ascension perks, but they should be big society-sweeping changes, not stuff that should simply be a technology. Like building habitats, or even becoming cybernetic should just be social/tech choices societies make.

Cybernetics makes sense as a precursor to synth ascension, but yeah I prefer the Alphamod approach to habitats where you get basic ones through tech and the ascension just gives you 25 tile ones as a forerunner to ringworlds.

Pylons posted:By the time I started building gates, I was at my max fleet cap, my max starbase cap, and no planets needed upgraded. Right, which was the other part of the problem I'm talking about. I was kind of hoping that gates might be usable during actual play, instead of just a cherry on top for post-crisis grognards to dick around with while they try to cement one of the victory conditions. Like I have both technologies, to reactivate gates and build them, and I've had them for about ~30 years, but I just have other things to spend my minerals on and the Crisis hasn't shown up yet so I'd kind of rather have fleets capable of taking that down then dick around dumping a huge amount of minerals into a gate network. Again, I have a wormhole in the center of my empire, so I can pop down to the only empire that hasn't succumbed to my charm offensive and joined the alliance, but that seems pretty weaksauce if a convenient wormhole is the difference between absolutely free long distance travel and tens of thousands of minerals worth of money sink to achieve the same effect.

I don't know if it still works, but the poo poo that spawns in that system doesn't attack the station around the star, because it's out of aggro distance, but enemy fleets will try to attack that station and get fuckin wrecked.

They were distant enough from each other that you rarely had to fight more than two at once. Unless you were an idiot (or the AI).

Pretty sure it's a Leviathans DLC thing. There's a system with a bunch of asteroids totaling 35-40 minerals in it. If you start building mining stations, turns out the asteroids are infested with space bees and they are hostile.
