Yeah that's what seems a bit broken, if you make a deal with the mob but then turn on your telepaths and all crime is suddenly crushed with an omnipotent purple fist, why does the mob keep giving you benefits while they're all locked up and/or suppressed? Cutting a deal with the crime lords should provide a hard floor or something, like no matter how much you try it's impossible to get crime below 20% while active.

alcaras posted:The +10 stability from the Deal with Crime Lords doesn’t go away if crime goes to 0. Yeah, the trick at the start of the game is to immediately fire your enforcer, do a deal with crime lords for +10 stab, then rehire him so you're back at 0 crime. You just spent 25 influence to boost base production on your capital world by 10%.

I'm thinking the looting abandoned caravan ship event shouldn't be allowed to trigger until after you've made contact with them.  Is there a way to change or reset ascension perks? I looked at fiddling with the save file but it was all compressed or something.

This is definitely a strong opening, but I'd expect it to get nerfed whenever they flesh out crime stuff better. Earlier I missed another 5% source: police state. So you could start with police state+nobles and f.pacifist, make a crime deal right away, and have 85 stability on your homeworld (homeworld gets 5 bonus stab). Plus whatever you get from amenities.

Endless Space 2 is good if you like clicking "end turn" and then waiting to do something only to hit "end turn" again. This just goes on and on for many turns.

I'd like paradox to revamp leaders in a next DLC to add more depth. It'd be cool if leaders develop their own ambitions, lead rebellions (especially if they lead factions) and poo poo. It'd be cool if generals and admirals could attempt coups, or go rogue and install themselves as dictator of some planet and attempt to secede. In essence they contribute to deeper internal politics like characters in CK2. Adventurers would also be pretty interesting.

Martout posted:As a dev guy what are your feelings about ME's in the new economy? I feel like amenities is a little too tight and pop energy upkeep a bit high which narrows my construction choices more than I like but that might also be by design to balance out ME's being able to colonize everywhere and not having to are about consumer goods/food (my rogue servitors do tho, only the best doodads and soylent for my bio-trophies!) They feel pretty weak and I would like to buff them. MEs end up super OP next patch.

I think the big problem with hive minds and robots is that they just aren’t unique enough. If hive minds couldn’t access trade at all, even internal markets, but used a completely different set of resources I think they’d be much better. They also have too few unique buildings, most of them just being a new name and graphic tacked onto an existing building. I want laboratories that are giant brains. I want production chains and biomass instead of alloys. One idea I’ve been toying with is for hive minds to have a syncretic evolution type thing going on per default for complex / worker drones but complex drones are built using the robot assembly system. I want hive minds to have stupid growth of regular worker drones and the real limit to their expansion and tech be their ability to produce the brain drones needed to fuel their higher tier economy. Of course that’s a lot of work on paradox’s end but I think they drove themselves into that corner themselves.

i've got a mod tabled where devouring swarms have to use 'biomass' to build any ship bigger than a corvette. Biomass is psi-active slurry from sentient life forms. You can make relatively small amounts inefficiently, or get great amounts of it from purging normal sentients.

You want to have a word with Wiz then, as in last week's devclash he claimed the forums were wrong about MEs, as well as habitats. Obviously he's not on the team before, but the chap with him who was appeared to agree. I think the consensus on habitats was not that they're bad, just that ecus are better and only need one perk. If Master Builders benefited ecus too, that would be positive.

I'd like more options to be a friendly Hive Mind. The Hive Mind is just basically one person; so it's gotta blow their mind that they encounter another people and each individual is just as sentient as their whole collective! And they just wanna be friends and live in peace with all these people all at the sametime like they're a pet. Basically expand and revamp the biological trophy thing.

So I picked Stellaris back up after a very long time and have been playing round with a mech race of not-quite-the-borg. I'm a bit disappointed how similar they are to a normal playthrough with all the changes especially pop growth. That and I don't really know what i'm doing with planet management anymore? Is there a way to force my cyborgs to do the things they're good at and vice versa. The dumb robots are doing all the tech jobs and the smart cyborgs are breaking rocks
