I like how I started my first game as a post-apocalyptic empire, and in my immediate vicinity I found three 20+ sized tomb worlds that are somehow even more terrible hellscapes than my homeworld. One is apparently fully covered in bones.

OwlFancier posted:Your species initiated a remote terraforming initiative before beginning their local one. Nah the official bio is that they invented FTL around 1900, and promptly started a global hell-war over who gets to go first and hosed everything up before they got any ships built. Then they eventually unified under a single, more rational government and are trying to make a better go of it the second time around. Ya know, nothing fancy. I can imagine the first surveyors exploring the other planets like "Man, I thought we hosed our place up, but god drat" AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I've started a few games as Post-Apoc and never get that, and I feel lame colonizing my standard planet type - I want to cleanse planets of life before I settle on them I admit I didn't expect to get quite this kind of mileage out of this civic, honestly.  If I had gone with a more regular civ and found all these I'd've been pretty bummed, since almost all the normal colonizable planets around me kinda blow.Also I started inside a nebula, together with a marauder empire. They are literally only three jumps from my homeworld. I thought that was gonna be interesting but I guess marauders are broken for me, it's past 2300 already and I haven't heard a single peep from them. And I have the "neutral raider fleets with script jank names idling in a system forever" bug. I wonder if it's a vanilla bug or mod-related.

My favourite refugee event was some months ago, when an awakened xenophobe fallen empire declared war on me and my huge federation, got its poo poo pushed in and then their people fled to my space when the nastier federation members started oppressing them. Whose the inferior xeno rabble now, shitheads?

On another note, is anyone else having a lot of localization errors in the game after 2.0.2 went live? To be more precise, random bits here and there are missing localization, such as the piracy risk indicator in the government window, the tooltip for the Citizen Service civic says "civic_tooltip_citizen_service_effects" instead of stating the actual effects, etc. The errors aren't nearly common enough to really hinder gameplay, but they are a bit distracting. Already tried validating game files for no effect, so I'm wondering whether it's a mod issue or an actual game bug.

Admiral Joeslop posted:Did someone say 2.0.2?! You're doing the Lord's work, Joeslop. However, you forgot the one I submitted via PM a while ago. For convenience's sake I'll just post it here so all can marvel at my mediocrity: Taalgan New Order The Taalgans first discovered FTL roughly around 1900. Before any ships were built, their already tumultuous society promptly erupted into a global war over claims of space territory. After the war had reduced their world to rubble, the Taalgans faced a long dark age of gradual rebuilding and serious collective introspection. In the launch ceremony of their first FTL craft, 300 years after the discovery of FTL technology, the newly crowned emperor Lyphoros did not give a lengthy speech. Instead, he merely played a video summary of all the wrongs their old world order had wrought. After the video ended, he uttered the words that immediately became the new nation's motto: "Right then, let's not do THAT again", and hit the launch button. Time will tell how long this motto actually endures the volatile Taalgan nature.  Pastebin of the user_ermpire_designs entry: https://pastebin.com/YDv9See0

Bloodly posted:Star Trek. Half the reason they try to be people of peace was they blew themselves up in nuclear war, and only luck with a half-crazy man trying to do faster-than-light to sell the tech getting the attention of a passing Vulcan ship is the reason they're in utopia from tech-sharing rather than all dying off. Well, poo poo. I was never much of a Trekkie at all, so I had no idea about any of the history of the setting. I assure you, any similarities or references are purely coincidental. Way I figured it, Taalgan society used to be divided into a bunch of bickering nation states, mired in stagnant theocracy and mutual mistrust and xenophobia, and just generally very averse to change. This is the part they've turned around, but they're still pretty warlike and generally riotous in nature.

Man, the AI mods really seem to make a difference. I was just playing on Captain, and got loving stomped when all three of my other neighbours opportunistically declared war on me while I was busy kicking around a devouring swarm that was my fourth neighbour. I guess I should've seen it coming though, was playing xenophobes and keeping my borders closed from everyone, which seems to be pretty great at annoying your neighbours.

I did get my first Great Khan, at least. And he was right next to me too, so I bore the brunt of the onslaught. They managed to take three of my colonies while I was busy upgrading and building up my fleets, but once that was done, things started going sour for them in a hurry. Poor bastards didn't expect me to have jump drives that I yoinked from the Dimensional Horror pretty early on. I just kept jumping my whole navy on top of their lone fleets, ganking them one by one. Eventually I killed the Khan while he was desperately trying to bombard another colony of mine. Unexpectedly the remnants rallied into a single Successor Khanate, but unfortunately for them they were still holding two of my colonies so I promptly declared war on them and pushed their poo poo in. I was gonna vassalize them just as an insult, but didn't have any Supremacy traditions so meh.

I got the Vultaum homeworld in this game and it's smack dab in the middle of my empire. What I do have a problem with though, is one of the new Distant Stars events that gives you coordinates to some ancient laboratory, and in two games in a row now I've had it point to literally the opposite edge of the galaxy. EDIT: The animal speciments get really spread out too, for the reward they eventually give. I don't mind having to get up to some shenanigans to grab that goddamn Tarblac from my neighbour's territory, but having to run all over the galaxy for them can be a bit much. Easier now with the experimental subspace thingy for science ships, admittedly. Nordick fucked around with this message at 22:51 on May 28, 2018 |

I feel like it would be cool if we could set citizen rights by planet, so we could set up like penal colonies and poo poo, or the opposite like paradise worlds where any pop could be sent to enjoy full social welfare regardless of their usual species rights. Maybe not practical or useful, but cool.

I've read through this drat collection before, twice, and just read a bunch of them a third time before a buddy poked me to play vidya games with him. Will probably re-read the rest too later. There's just something about these that makes them way more compelling than they feel like they should be. Even the really silly, badly written ones. Then there are the ones that are actually legit pretty good and make me sad they're so short. Kinda want to try my hand at this myself some time.

So uh, is it intended that when you defeat an awakened empire, their thralls become your vassals? Because that's what happened to me. The War in Heaven was raging around, and I stayed fully independent. As in, sided with neither AE and didn't join the Non-Aligned League either. Then at some point when I deemed the xenophobes sufficiently distracted, I declared war on them with the Containment CB and sucker punched them, since they were conveniently nestled between my territories and their fleets were tied up elsewhere. And when they were vanquished, their thralls immediately became my vassals. Not that I really mind, but it does strike me as a bit weird. EDIT: Also the border gore in this galaxy is getting a bit out of hand

CapnAndy posted:Are disruptors any good? I actually haven't really played around with them to give an actually educated response, but I feel like they're pretty niche at best. Armor and shields usually seem to evaporate so fast, it seems to me that eventhough disruptors have a head start on chewing on the hull, the other weapons will just catch up. But this is just my gut feeling on looking at the numbers, anyone who knows better can feel free to chime in.

I used to use that as well, for the same reason, but then I downgraded to one with fewer colours, because with the full spectrum one everything just ended up being various pastel shapes and I hated that too. Unrelated: I just had an awakened empire experience a machine uprising. The machines are Exterminators. I find this inexplicably amusing. EDIT: Scratch that, apparently the uprising happened for one of their signatories, but the game decided to name the resulting war after the awakened empire.

God the galaxy in this current game of mine is a hilarious mess. So after I ganked the xenophobe awakened empire and mysteriously received their thralls as my vassals (still dunno what the gently caress was up with that), the War in Heaven has been dragging on between the xenophile AE and their signatories, and the Non-Aligned League. And just now I decided I want some of my neighbours' poo poo, and declared war on them. They're one of the signatories of the xenophiles, so the AE obviously joined the war in their defence.... but the rest of the signatories did not. Consequently, I just waylaid a fleet of my neighbour's that was being followed by a huge gaggle of the other signatories' fleets, who just stood by picking their noses and watched as I tore one of their allies' fleets to shreds.  Meanwhile the Prethoryn are gobbling up one of the Non-Aligned League's members, but they're pretty far from any of my territories so I can't be arsed to help.

By the time I could otherwise make the trip it's always swallowed by some asshat's territory where I don't have border access.

While we're talking about text chunks, are we ever gonna get a species bio window with at least the most basic formatting features, like line changes? I mean I know that I can do that stuff by editing the .txt, but that's a bit of a silly chore and it often screws with how the bio displays in-game.
