Khan charged in through a wormhole and took four of my systems. In the process of fighting the fleets off, I blew up the khan, which caused the raiders to become a real empire, permanently stealing my systems until I declared war and kicked them back out of my space. That was very frustrating.

Black Pants posted:I grabbed the Origin Civics mod and realised something interesting: Dyson Engineers (start in a system with no hyperlanes, but you get a 25% dyson sphere and a Gateway Construction Site) and Voidborne (your species' habitability preference is set to Habitats, you can build cheap 6-space habitats that can later be upgraded, and also ships and starbase stuff is cheaper) are not mutually exclusive origin civics. So I combined that with the militant, xenophobic race I decided to try playing and set my third civic as Barbaric Despoilers. And.. basically I'm playing a marauder clan that's going to suddenly explode out into the galaxy once I get this gateway online. I did this with an energy-and-mineral-boosting plant race, and its been insanely good. Overpowered even.

Savy Saracen salad posted:Wow this thread is full of Yesmen. Speaking about myself I really did not like it when they removed the FTL options after buying the game for its variety. I do not care about balancing mechanics or chokepoints. I played the game usually as a leisure exploration activity and I enjoyed that species could start with different FTL and different weapons. I approached 2.0 with an open mind but I found I do not enjoy it at all. The worst thing I disliked more than the FTL removal was the introduction of having to make Claims? to capture territory in Space! Other than that I found that the game turned into a spreadsheet simulator and became much slower paced, taking forever to move from one place to the next. I found out I was not enjoying it as I did before since all diversity is basically gone. They should be improving on core mechanics not simply cutting them out and calling it a day which is dishonest and shady to customers whom bought the game due to certain selling points that is now being removed completely. My dude, there's new content in the recent expansion and a new story pack comes out on Tuesday. You need to adjust the way you play a little in order for the game to have some more strategic depth. I understand you don't find it fun anymore, but have you considered trying to learn the new way to play where you, for example, use multiple fleets to defend your large empire instead of making one big blob and sitting it in the middle? It's a-ok to be disappointed with the changes, but it's kinda lovely to call people yesmen because they still enjoy the game. What changed that made it more of a spreadsheet simulator? Because that's become a cliche' claim whenever a goon doesn't like something these days.

Bloodly posted:That's false. The AI could handle itself pre 2.x. It didn't leave tiles undeveloped for years on end. It was still pretty lovely with the tiles before. It definitely sometimes has failure-cascade-empires happen but, at least in my games, its far from the ubiquitous problem some goons try to claim it is.

Baronjutter posted:Yeah, we just want very different things out of the game. I don't want to imagine robot-humans with pickaxes that have been upgraded over generations to the point of emergent sapiance finally asking their masters some poignant philosophical question that makes everyone gasp and realize maybe the robots are people and enslaved, that's such a tired cliche. I want to imagine huge automated tunnel boring machines attached to huge automated material processing plants all being maintained by a huge variety of drones and mobile industrial equipment ranging from tiny spider-like robots that clean the drill heads to massive mobile 3d printer systems. I want to imagine that each piece of equipment is given the processing power and abilities it needs to do its job because they are just pieces of equipment, not people, and don't need sapience. I then want to imagine a sapient intelligence overseeing and coordinating all this industrial activity and equipment, maybe it sometimes uses a physical avatar to inspect the site, but usually it just exists within the mine's vast networks. But, because this industrial intelligence exists within a materialist society it has rights and protections and has been classified as a citizen. As are the ships in my automated fleet, as are the vast research and scientific AI's that work alongside our organic research pops, as are the humanoid synths built to experience lives similar to our organic pops. I want to create something like "The Culture" which had everything from god-ai's to mindless drones all living in harmony. Sir, this is a space McDonald's.

So basically people think that their posting on something awful is going to influence the design of Stellaris' next patch because sometimes Wiz glances at the thread until he's called a Nazi and rolls his eyes then leaves? Is that what this is about now? Like discuss away, but getting up on a high horse about how 'now is the time when we must speak in order to make our voices heard upon high in the dev offices of Paradox Incorporated!!' is a bit of a silly argument to fall back on imo. I'm in the camp that we saw a sneak peek at an unfinished product and it likely left us with some weird ideas about how it'll work that probably aren't worth being a dick about.

Rhjamiz posted:I don't get the objection to Servitors as being "memed" as always dystopic. They ARE dystopic. It might be comfortable, but the part where you're implanted with obedience chips or forced at gunpoint into your pleasure cube is the dystopic part. It is, conceptually, a nightmare. That's not the only potentially imagined form of rogue servitors. It's entirely possible that the humans/cutelizards/slugs/etc. just don't have greater ambitions than to smoke weed and play xbox, while the robots understand that they need to spread out in order to protect their wards.

Mazz posted:Is it really? Shuffling jobs around and delaying upgrades waiting for pops doesn't exactly feel "meaningful." It doesn't impart some excellent management skills that clicking on upgrade buildings didn't. It's the exact same process just more drawn out. This type of micro isn't more "rewarding", not when you realistically have to do it for in-game years to every planet to not have them run significantly under their total potential. Sure, you can ignore it and it works fine, but you could also mostly ignore sector run tile management. This is pretty disengenuous complaining because 'always click yellow arrows when they appear' has become 'balance and stagger your buildings nased on your growth rste and current galaxy wide events like wars etc.'

Big McHuge posted:Saw this previewed in a video about space games to play while quarantined, and low and behold it's on sale. Is the OP still correct with the recommended expansions/DLC? More or less. Base game good, each expansion adds a few cool things. What you want to play as determines which ones are most useful, so look at the options. Megacorps lets you be Dutch East India Company across the galaxy. Synthetic Dawn let’s you be robots of various stripes from the Borg to Asimov helperbots, to Skynet. Federations let’s you team up with AIs and other players in mp better. Etc. etc.

Insurrectionist posted:Ah, so is the whole game borked at the moment then? Would I run into issues as a new player, or is this the kind of 'breaks the end-game on super-ultra hard difficulty' kind of issue I've seen a lot in other games? The game is fine and fun. Goons are just goons. Plus there’s that guy who has to release a heavy sigh and come inform the thread every time he screenshots and submits a bug report. Which makes the game look worse (and makes that dude feel important? I’m not sure.)

Sloober posted:definitely still works, there's legitimate complaints (fwiw i believe the empire pop penalty is too high and needs to take into account galaxy/planet settings), but my experience has not devolved into being completely broken, outside of the 'on the shoulders of giants' occasionally breaking on the last step which precludes you from getting the final set of permanent bonuses. Also you just generally have to assume an AI will open an L-gate so plan for the grey tempest accordingly around ~2300ish For sure. But it’s still playable even with the odd quest failure and a slightly too high pop growth penalty. Neither of which a person playing the game with fresh eyes is going to notice in the next 6 months to a year of playing what is, otherwise, a pretty fun game.

By the time our empires can repair existing ringworlds or literally build them from scratch it's kinda mind boggling that we can't just put a little extra space elbow-grease into fixing these more damaged sections. Same.

Ham Sandwiches posted:Why do these people who have never posted in this thread reply to these questions to deliver the "definitive take", it's great. No insult, just answering a new person's question. The game is worth playing, it's pretty fun. Some people like to come in here and report that they've found a bug every single time they do, and it makes the game look worse than it is. Is the game perfect? Obviously not. Is it fun? Definitely! I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or upset you in any way with my tongue in cheek post about the guy who hops in to tell us when he finds bugs. It's easy to look at a longterm thread like this and get the impression that the game is completely and utterly broken, when the truth is that the bugs are more fiddly than that, and likely won't be too noticeable until you're more experienced. I've been playing Stellaris since it came out, and I still play mp with friends. The game is pretty dece, which was the question.
