Play a MP game as Xenophiles and set out to make everyone else in the galaxy your friends. By force if necessary. "You WILL be my friend"

    It's hosed up that you can't have 4k cube maps in this game. e: It's also real hosed up that the solar system color grading to make planets match the light cast by the central star also applies to the background. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jul 12, 2018 |

I like the Spiritualist AI line, "Thinking machines are an affront to nature. These profane constructs must never be allowed to... ohhh, wait... "

So I can play space Gengis Khan, raid the earthlings for slaves and sell them on the open market? That's amazing. Edit: also is that a strategic resource re work I see?

I'm playing for the first time since Distant Stars came out and it seems really laggy - is that a known thing? Should I switch to the beta build? Even on Fastest it's like I'm in the end game when I'm only just starting out pretty much.

Now I want to play a Rogue Servitor Empire who buys all their new friends off the market. Imagine spending months huddled inside the belly of a slave ship, choking on barely reprocessed air while all around you is misery and despair. You hear rumors of what lies in store; a race of machines. What use would they have for organics? Will you be worked to death? Vivesected? Converted into raw energy? The hold bays crack open. Blinding light pierces your eyes even as you take in a breath of fresh air. You imagine such bliss will be temporary as your eyes adjust to the light and see your new masters for the first time... ...are those mimosas?

I donno if it was just coincidence or if I was on to something, but the one game I lagged way more than usual in is one where I cranked up the hyperlane links to max. That thing started eating my computer before 100 years was up.

So I think I'm done with the game for now just had my first successful fanatic purifier game and killed off everything living in the galaxy that's not me, I'll come back after the next big patch hopefully when it's viable to play the complete opposite.

AG3 posted:Pacifism should be renamed Passive-Agressivism since the point of it seems to be to build up your military by cheesing mineral income, then insulting and goading the enemy into attacking you so you can steal all their territory. is that the way to handle it if your headed in the Pacifism and Spiritualists route? Just goad the aliens into attacking you?

GunnerJ posted:https://twitter.com/Martin_Anward/status/1017432328250028033 Specifically, looks like you're going to need specific resources to build particular components, which is a massive but excellent change. You'll need to build your military around the resources available to you, rather than the best cookie cutter builds. Hmm. Perhaps they might be splitting minerals into raw and refined too, looking at that icon.

So looks like strategic resources are no longer have/ don't have but rather you stockpile them like minerals and energy?

Aethernet posted:Hmm. Perhaps they might be splitting minerals into raw and refined too, looking at that icon. Having to balance your mines against your refining capacity - I can already hear the bitching now. As fun as forcing you to develop your industrial base would be, adding an extra step to production doesn't sound like something they'd do. If anything I'd guess that they're adding different types of minerals/rare resources. Maybe something like Endless Space where certain modules require different strategic resources? They also cut out the part of the resource bar where all your planet, starbase and fleet capacity are listed. The spot where strategic resources are summarized now looks like it has a shining ring icon. Maybe they are splitting luxuries from strategic resources as well?

Eiba posted:Okay, now I'm a little bit worried. I've never been that enthralled by fleet stuff, and having to source multiple materials to make a basic almost-naked corvette is not something that immediately sounds engaging. Psst, a super-early screenshot with values altered to be used as a teaser will not give you an accurate idea of what those values will look like on release. Of course we're not going to make a basic starting ship require you to have resources you can't produce in your home system.
