Yeah this is honestly way more interesting and game-changing than the Space UN or whatever. And it looks like it's got a lot of potential for modders to really expand on (and hopefully eventually for vanilla to expand on too, the dev's answering a lot of questions with "not right now we only had time to get the basics in but good idea for the future").

I'm gonna buy the DLC no matter what because I'm a broken person that owns every DLC for every modern Paradox game even the cosmetic and music ones. I need help.

The economic AI solution they went with is a great one and it's how I think they should deal with it. Have targets / checkpoints based on players performance and then code the AI to hit those targets. I did some test games a while back and while the AI is competitive in early game, by midgame it goes into this weird... "do nothing" phase where the player keeps getting stronger and it's just sort of shuffling stuff and not really improving its empire. Hopefully this patch makes them actually competitive, which should make the rest of the mechanics more interesting.

Yeah all the diplomatic maneuverings in the world are pretty meaningless if you can just effortlessly own every single non-FE in the galaxy by like a century in. Still salty that there's some things I would consider absolutely key diplomatic features missing, but if the AI actually becomes halfway competent and challenging then this will be a worthwhile update for that alone.

Someone in here posted a couple days back that Aurora would be updating this month, but gently caress if I can navigate through the giant mess that is the Aurora forums to find the details there. Is there an actual date, or did Steve just say somewhere "oh yeah I'll probably put something out in March-ish when I feel like it"?

scaterry posted:Yeah, according to the code its a 1/17th chance. So every 85 years you could expected to obtain one.The rubricator spawning for everyone every game is just really immersion-breaking. It also leads to super feel-bads when your rubricator system spawns closer to your neighbor and wow! they get two relic worlds to your zero! The Rubricator and the relic world are both good reasons to go to war with said neighbour, imo. I don't remember if the AI gets the digsite, necessarily, but it's not like a human player would have any easy way to get the relic before you can invade them, anyway.

Right now there's a crazy Paradox build-a-bundle over at Humble; huge discounts on the entire Paradox catalog plus in the bundle you get an additional 80-85% off on top of those. Good time to buy some Paradox-published games if you're interested in trying EU4, Battletech, any of the Shadowrun games, etc. The bundle includes Stellaris but none of the DLCs, but those are still heavily-discounted regardless https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/paradox-build-your-own-bundle/?hmb_source=store_home  Free games for bigger discounts alert: there are numerous games available for the bundle that are like $2-3, but can activate a larger bundle discount and therefore reduce the the total cost of your cart when you add them. So even if you only want 1-2 things, you can actually get an even bigger discount + some free games by just adding cheap things to your cart.For example: I've added Battletech Mercenary Edition (e.g. base game + season pass), Tyranny, and Surviving Mars. MSRP $185, after bundling discounts: $35. Then I add Shadowrun: Dragonfall, and the cart total becomes $33.50. Then I add Hearts of Iron 3, and the cart total becomes $31.12. I'm getting a $4 discount while getting a free copy of HOI3 and Shadowrun Dragonfall. Or say that I only wanted Battletech Mercenary Edition, on its own it's $30. Then I add some cheap games, like Majesty 2, HOI3, Age of Wonders, and Crusader Kings Complete. Now the cart costs $19.

I have a conundrum in my current game. The Rubricator spawned behind a system with the enigmatic fortress in it. Is there any way to throw some Corvettes in the way of the fortress and sneak a science ship and builder through or am I screwed?

Dunite posted:I have a conundrum in my current game. The Rubricator spawned behind a system with the enigmatic fortress in it. The fortress doesn't move and doesn't cover the whole system, so you may be able to manually control your science and construction ships to go around it. You can't distract it with corvettes though, once your ships are in combat the only way to escape is emergency ftl, even if they're not currently being shot at.

That's not quite accurate. I've had construction ships path through a system where they aggro'd something, but before they took enough damage to die they were able to make it to the other side of the system and continue on their path.
