i'm very favorably impressed thus far, my first war was a complete clusterfuck because a Raider fleet blew through all my core systems and then smack dab into the attacking enemy fleets and roasted em by the time i did any Barbaric Despoiling all my planets had *just* finished filling up...urgh does anyone know where the FDCB gets shown or is it totally behind the scenes? noticed a few tooltips still in pretty rough shape, showing variables and such rather than localizations. But haven't seen any honest to goodness bugs yet. Fleet Maintenance is destroying me though. I have yet to build a single anchorage because i simply can't afford to maintain a fleet bigger than my native cap + tech bonus. I'm loving the new ship computers, i have a fast corvette fleet and another fleet with artillery cruisers escorted by destroyers with PD/autocannons and it works quite well thus far quote:- Several new war goals, including supporting civil war between factions, as well as assimilation raids by the Borg.

Sekenr posted:reposting from old thread: If you retrofit and match your poo poo to counter enemy setups, it has become quite feasible to do decently with 15-20. Haven't tested it yet, but tried going against 4 pirate marauders with 3 corvettes, which had only shields vs their kinetics and got diced without killing any. Then reloaded, outfitted them with nothing but armor and suddenly, I'm able of killing 2, making 2 retreat while having 1 of my corvettes retreat p safely. The 50% positive and negative bonuses and penalties to lasers and kinetics when it comes to armor and shields really has made it a lot more important that you pay attention now I think. Anyway, no wars for me yet early game, but I gotta say it's been a p cool new feeling, yoinking that extra critical system before the AI can, getting a couple yoinked in turn too and having to defensive pact up early, because you never know if that neighboring spirtualist border frictioned arse isn't gonna try something funny. So far so fun.

i'm at work so i can't check, but how does war declaration work now? do you really have to be physically bordering someone to wardec them? what about someone you particularly hate on the other side of the galaxy? does that mean you have to send construction ships with your fleets?

Small things but I think they would be very nice to have Anyway im very impressed and space mongols are assholes e: fuk it, this post is already super scattershot, I'm also really pleased with the pace of early game expansion, there's a good tempo between bursts of station building and then backfilling systems.

Hello Stellaris thread. I'm interested in this game, and it's on sale on Steam, but I'm sort of confused by the 'versions' that are available and on sale. There are several versions: Stellaris - $15.99 Stellaris Nova Edition - $19.99 Stellaris Galaxy Edition - $27.99 Stellaris Digital Anniversary Edition (bundle) - $31.46 (Includes Stellaris, Plantoids, Leviathans, Utopia). The OP says that Utopia is a must-have DLC and Leviathans is really good, so I'm leaning towards that last one, but the problem is that Steam doesn't actually say what the difference is between the first three options. What's in Nova & Galaxy that's not in the basic $15.99 edition. Does anyone know? In addition I suppose I need to get the new Apocalypse DLC for $20 making this a $50 game, which isn't a showstopper, but it's not super cheap! So just looking for advice on which of those first four options I guess, since I don't really know what's in option 2 & 3! Hopefully someone here does. Thanks!

I was actually surprised that the different Marauder clans on the map are all different species. The pre-release info we got about them gave me the impression that they were competing factions of the same race.

There's no rally points anymore because military ships can't exist except as fleet members (or traveling to a fleet), and the fleet is the rally point.

Huh? I've been using the in-game UI scaling option, has this not been working for anyone else? I'm running with 2x UI scaling at 5120 × 2880 (via Nvidia's DSR) and the window sizing is fine. Blorange fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Feb 22, 2018 |

I only had about 30-45 minutes to screw around, but I really like the new early game exploration and the use of spaceports to cap systems, and how exploration is handled. I also like it a lot more then trying to figure out where, in pre 2.0, borders would go if you removed an outpost to try and recover influence.

I think the Fallen Empire generation should probably be tweaked a bit so their borders follow the hyperlanes. They often spawn with some weird borders like this:

tithin posted:I've been watching some youtube / streams because i've not started playing yet, and is it just me, or do ships move a fuckload faster than they used to? Yes, they do. Ships now have to travel all the way across the system to the arrow leading to the next hyperlane in order to travel to that system, so in-system speed has been increased to compensate. This means that traveling inside a system is faster, but traveling across the galaxy is slower.

How do you get subjugation or tributary CB? I have the domination tree but every empire I try to declare war on just says I don't have the right CB, but there's no explanation how to get it.
