Arrath posted:Yeah, increasing the in-system speed of ships with the hyperlane registrar would help some. The problem is they only work on their own system, and who has enough starbases to carpet all your important lanes? Even extending to every adjacent jump doesn't provide much coverage.

we need templates for Starbases imo. let me click one button and build a custom template on a Starbase like I do with a fleet.

Aethernet posted:Space highways would probably need to be another starbase specialisation rather than a module. Six Realspace Drag Reductors would make your ships go zoom. Right up until you hit a colonized system, where your ships stop zooming because of all the trading hubs. I guess it's a speed limit for residential areas?

The space lanes are all crowded thanks to all the trading vessels. It's like getting deliveries to a major store chain that's on a main road.

registrars working across systems like roads would be really good, but there's gonna be cases where there are multiple equidistant paths, so does it fill them all in as "roads" or what? Do the roads proceed through the wormhole? If you just have it do some kind of shortest path link between all stations that have registrars, couldn't you accidentally delete a huge portion of your network by opening a gate?

If the diplomacy update adds better trading, being able to build trade routes based on outpost or station upgrades would be awesome. I'd love to see the actual trade units on the map too, not just abstracted.

So I started a new game recently and tried out a couple options I have never really given much thought too, and I am amazed at just how strong they are. Habitats: With Habitats I was able to poo poo out a level of research points I didn't know was possible to achieve normally. Genetic Modification Ascension Path: It almost seems broken just how good it is for more racially diverse empires. Being able to upgrade species as they come into your empire is really powerful and more importantly the only cost is that it takes time away from society research which after a certain point is meaningless as once you get the extra accession point tech then almost everything else in that tree is just a minor buff. The Charisma Trait: The buff to edicts is great once you get towards middle/late game as influence and energy stops really mattering that much. More importantly it makes everyone surprisingly friendly to you which can do a lot to give you control over how your empire expands.

It feels as though ships close in to the range of their shortest-range weapon, even if that weapon happens to be PD, and only stay at the distance their targeting computer or whatever tells them to use if their weapons otherwise outrange that. Also for gently caress sake, when army transport ships are following a fleet they should actually follow the goddamn fleet rather than following the heading the fleet is on independently. Transport ships are really goddamn fast, and unless you're using a corvette fleet with afterburners at endgame tech levels they're gonna start flying well ahead of your ships, directly at the enemy bastion station.

I get the opposite problem, where my fleet is so fast that on longer trips the fleet will end up a whole system ahead and then the transports stop because they can't see the fleet anymore  Again, troops are way better than they used to be but the whole mechanic is still pretty bad.

You just gather up an army in the middle of where you are attacking, and whenever a planet is about to fall you just jump over to the planet and invade.

Seriously, I don't know how this got so bad. I'm going to try setting my Cruisers to Artillery computer, see if I can maybe get them to sit back and have the enemy close on them? The combat AI was never this bad pre-2.0, I don't know what happened.

I wish military factions would get bonuses to happiness when you start fielding colossus and titans as surely they would love knowing their empire has reached a point where they can quite literally shatter planets.

Militarist factions should get a bonus when you're at war. It's a bit baffling that they don't. The guys literally love fighting.

The happiness boost from capturing planets should be replaced by this. It would make more sense, especially for democratic crusader types who are obviously warlike but may not necessarily want to annex their opponents. For that same reason, I really wish imposing ideology didn't require liberation/defensive wars only (and also because unrestricted wars being restricted from a certain kind of warfare is absurd by definition).

Captain Invictus posted:Factions disappear if there are zero pops in them, they reappear when at least one pop picks up the banner once again. That's what I figured happened, except it was bizarre that the Authoritarian faction went from 10 pops, to 5 pops, to none, and back to 5. My guess is that something about the faction system bootstraps the system by pushing pops in one direction or another, and the Authoritarian faction couldn't maintain itself in the face of all the temples.

Oh, I experienced the disappearing faction thing but what happened to me was I loaded a game I'd been playing and both of my slave factions had disappeared, so all of the slaves just had no faction and thus no faction happiness modifier. The factions never returned though. They were quite happy battlethralls/domestic servants too. Black Pants fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Jun 14, 2018 |

If there was a 1 off option to convert to assimilators or exterminators that would be amazing. Maybe there should also be an option for genetic ascension to turn into a hive mind? Psionic is awesome enough as it is, although there should also be a way to manually recruit Avatar armies.

How's the planet/economy AI in 2.1.1? I gave up on the game after 2.0.x, since the AI made totally braindead decisions when growing planets. Game may as well have been a beta test.
