I've fired up a test game (going with the dependable old UNE), and I've been enjoying myself so far. Somehow found a system with something like 40 minerals. :getin: Needless to say had a mad dash to secure it.

Sad that the tailer theme isn't included in the expansion soundtrack - will it ever be available?

I'm sure that there aren't any bad things at all waiting for you in this system. Not a single one.

Oh.

OH.

:ohdear:

I forgot there was a popup talking about a Crystalline Asteroid field...I thought it was talking about another system I'd been surveying at the time.

I should probably build a large fleet, shouldn't I?

Yeah, 2500 fleet power at minimum, and preferably more like 10-15K.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might burn the run to the ground and start over, that's probably gonna be beyond my reach entirely.

I love this game, but I suck real bad at it.

Lol. My most far-flung science vessel got the "drill rampage" anomaly. I could have gotten a year and a half's worth of mineral output by scrapping the thing, but no, I think, the "research" option will almost certainly pay off in the long term...

So the project spawns, and it needs a construction ship in orbit. Within 365 days.

Construction ships now take half a year to travel two jumps. This anomaly was 11 jumps from my nearest system.

:negative:

(I guess not all the events, anomalies, etc have been rebalanced yet.)
Yeah, it can be a pain in the rear end to complete Mandates as a democracy now. Then again, I suppose considering you get Unity for completion now, that might be a deliberate choice.

You can change your civics, you could become Xenophiles. Because if aliens are willing to save your people, maybe they're not all bad?

Shouldn't Space Amoebas Forever set them to neutral?

I seem to remember it did pre-2.0. I don't want to fight them. :ohdear:
