does point defense work against physical torpedoes right now? i know it's been ambiguously bugged for half of eternity, and my next target is using torpedoes on his corvettes.

Coolguye posted:great idea. i have about 15 destroyers that are currently configured with PD because the last war included approximately all the missiles, but i can have them refitted in a couple of days. i also have the red lasers card locked in from pirate debris so i can research that to clap on the cruisers. no angle on blue lasers right now but for a fight like this it shouldn't matter. battle report here: 2.7k of 9 cruisers and 15 destroyers outfitted with heavy armor and blue lasers (got lucky on the card draw) obliterated 4k worth of corvettes and first-generation destroyers (which followed the same ethos as the corvettes but had PD) and took a grand total of 2 destroyer and 1 cruiser loss it was a glorious slaughter thank you thread

Man, I want to play Stellaris, but I don't want play it knowing there is a new update coming. Something about that kind of bothers me for some strange reason.

I know this feeling, I have like 2-3 games running right now, but the knowledge that there is this awesome new upgrade coming just sapped my will to play Stellaris. Welp, more time for my MO3-thread!

I spend at least half of a Paradox game's life cycle not playing it because the next update seems so good that I'll just be disappointed at the current state of the game. CK2 and EU4 are only just now reaching the point where they're so insanely good that the next updates are just going to be neat rather than awesome and game-changing so I can play them without worry.

It's the anticipation that is preventing me from starting a new game. Lately, I've just been revisiting Stardew Valley and HOI4 to kill time.

Truga posted:So here's a newbie question: How do I tell a sector to purge all the goddamn xenos? I set it to purge and it doesn't seem to be doing it at all. Sadly you cannot. Worse, if you start purging them and then hand the planet to a sector, the sector will always cancel the purge (in my experience anyway). The Utopia expansion has a bunch of different fixes for this.

it owns current map of the galaxy right now. basically everything underneath my wormhole network except the large purple and blue empires in the very south of my reach are subservient to me at this point at 2282. i've moved fairly quick in terms of subjugating the neighborhood. current plan is to sit back and focus inward for a bit because i FINALLY picked the terraforming card and i just spent almost 10k energy credits pushing all the marginal wet planets in my domain to continental. after that painfully long process finishes i'll be infesting another half-dozen planets in the first wave. in the meantime i need to knock over the last few holdouts in the galactic east and keep exploring the dark places, the entire galactic east will need to belong to me to give those advanced powers to the west a good fight. the two FEs are the xenophile and the spiritualist, which is obnoxious because this is my Suffer Not the Alien run; the xenophile one will have a real problem with me purging half of my client nations, which was ostensibly my plan for a while. of the advanced ones, i'm fortunately able to not worry about the star league; i'm using subconscious consensus for the happiness bonus, which made the star league like me enough for me to strike an NAP with them. so my actual problem in terms of wars and relations is the coalition of hyodor, which is spiritualist and inherently doesn't like me. fortunately, we have 2 of my vassals between his borders and mine so he's not immediately worried about me.

Not a fan of neologisms. Reading the thread is making me interested in this. I don't like the look of paradox mapgames generally but this looks sufficiently 4xey to make me like the look of it. Also it doesn't appear to be a MOO clone, which is good because I don't particularly like galciv/moo

Ein Sexmonster posted:I'd imagine private colony ships have been reworked with the pop ethics changes. Probably, yeah. Something to make them worth a whole Tradition selection, instead of just a tech. Especially since they're not in the expansion-focused tree, which is interesting now that I think about it. Also, the guy posting what I've been linking confirmed that Energy Grids and Nexuses are renamed Power Hubs, so yeah, people who thought that were right. Edit: Speaking of things moved from techs to traditions, I'm watching the uploaded version of the stream now and federations are under the Diplomacy tree now. That makes sense.

So what the hell am I supposed to do at the end of the game? Awakened Empire is big enough it can stomp my fleets and I can rebuild and just do it all over again and again and again, but even that takes a significant amount of time, even at Fastest speed. Going to war against them they're so powerful that it's almost impossible to get my warscore up to 100 to try and start peeling off their systems. To me this is just a boring unfun slog, is there some gameplay aspect I'm missing?

Nah, endgame generally devolves into a slog, either because you can't beat the awakened empires/crises or because you have beaten the awakened empires/crises and there's nothing left to do.

probably just stacks. i suppose it is not a big deal. xenos can't migrate in my empire so once I have the galaxy under something resembling control it'll just be a matter of ordering all of their exterminations at once so there's nobody left to hate me

That's always an elegant solution. If the galaxy hates you, just remove the galaxy and you're suddenly popular again.

Going by the stream there's cheaper science stations and flat science for surveys.
