I guess I can live with the planet grid if we can pump space-nitrous into atmospheres.

Sort of related to the planet grid from last week actually, I noticed there's a green icon at the top with a 1/4 next to it, looks like a planet cap? I wonder if that's supposed to be a direct control cap (like CK2 demesne or Warlock 2 city limits), or a soft cap (can't settle more than this without penalties). Maybe it was already discussed and I missed it?Oberleutnant posted:I don't remember if it's been addressed in previous DDs but wil there be megastructures like Dyson Spheres, matrioshka brains, ringworlds, etc? Yeah, starbases sound like they are for colonized planets only but I wonder if there are also things like defensive bases, repair/refueling stations, or artificial planetoids and that like.

Pretty sure they have said they will have megaprojects, but I don't think there's been much by way of detail yet.

Westminster System posted:Wasn't building Science Outposts and stuff around non-usable or uncolonized worlds already mentioned? Yeah, there are orbital slots and such for planets you can't colonize. But I was talking more in terms of things not tied to planets, deep space stations between systems and such.

IIRC the various areas of the US vote independently which then determines the election result (including a hung electoral college) and what side each area joins, outside of core CSA/AUS areas.

Now would be a great time to fix some of the extremely unlikely stuff in KR in general. The idea that Germany could continue full war effort into 1921 while still under British blockade with no revolution is the lovely premise undermining the whole thing. Just have Germany win in 1918!

If the changes to logistics described for the next Hearts of Iron game don't purge them, I don't know what will. e:maybe a game set entirely in sub-Saharan Africa or Meso-America?

There's a noticeable subset of sci-fi fans that have a conniption at the suggestion that sci-fi is essentially fantasy in space/with robots/with cyborgs/nanomachines.

Most pop culture sci fi is certainly just fantasy wearing a shiny tinfoil suit though, you can't really argue with that.

tooterfish posted:What's supposed to set science fiction apart from fantasy is that it's speculative. It's supposed be a plausible exploration of "what if?" (for any given "what if?"). n-no! my warhams spaceman books are bleak dystopian social commentary, a chilling what-if of the seductive powers of fascism and xenophobia, and therefore literature, which I display proudly next to my 1/12 scale Abaddon The Despoiler figurine

I like how his "yourself as a Victoria POP" issues include like no issues from the actual game, but I guess "moralism" and "jingoism" don't sound as cool. EDIT: Hard science fiction can be cool, but if you have FTL you're already in the realm of "basically magic" and how "hard" or "soft" your setting is becomes mostly about aesthetics or what kind of story you want to tell and mood you want to evoke.

One of the best things about GalCiv2 was the way you could build starbases and then customise them to provide you bonuses in a certain area so I'm liking the similar themes.

So what's the most "wait what" level bug you guys have found so far Edit: also good science fiction is about the interactions of humanity with new technologies and using those reaction to wax philosophical about human nature. The realism of the tech is irrelevant, the realism of the people using it is paramount Agean90 fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Nov 23, 2015 |

The actual revolution of ideas about the relation between the tiny-rear end island hundreds of miles away from it's massive colonial "posession" was going pretty peacefully until the sheer tension produced by British troops in and around Boston boiled over and war were declared.
