In play, ships don't take damage from missiles before the impact of the visible ones, at least not that I've seen. They actually do, it's most notable with torpedoes on slowest speed, but you will notice that the damages do not line up with the graphics.

Wow. I'm a signatory of an awoken FE. For reasons totally unknown to me the game thinks I am guaranteeing the independence of a third party (impossible, since I cannot conduct diplomacy as a signatory). The FE declared war on the third party, which dragged me into war on the side of the third party, against the FE I am a signatory of. poo poo is loving broken. "Paradox" I guess.

Baronjutter posted:I thought it was something like 4 labs to break even? The real answer is ([+25% of base current research cost] / [number of months it's been taking you to research]), but I should have just said "two." Doing the math again: First level techs all cost 360. This will take, at the beginning, around 53 months to complete. Each planet gives +10%, each population [over 10] +1%, so assume each extra size-15 planet yields +25% research cost. So that first level tech now costs +90, or 450 total. But you have around 50 months to do it in. That means you need just under 2 extra points in a category to even out, or 2 level 1 labs. If you start cranking up your baseline research, you'll need more for each additional planet to compensate, but the key thing to remember here is that you don't need to get +25% research per month for each new planet, but more like (+25% / number of months it's been taking you). ulmont fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Apr 15, 2017 |

Xenophiles are also likely to get involved here, actually. Materialists like to stomp out AI rebellions, Xenophiles stop the Prethoryn Swarm, and both are equally likely to oppose the Unbidden.

Constantly throwing wave after wave of fleets into these Unbidden assholes has really opened my eyes to how desperately this game needs some kind of fleet planner/organizer. Micro managing which ships go where from several different spaceports is starting to turn what should be exciting attempt at holding off the never-ending horde of invaders and turning it into a real drag.

I have to say, there's nothing quite like conquering and devouring both the Protoss-lookin' Xenophobe FE and Humanity while playing as the Zergling Swarm. I think I'm just gonna call that a win rather then slowly devour the rest of the galaxy. I loving love Hive Minds, all I want from the next expansion is the option to go full Prethoryn and have biological ships.

The second time I went and looked up a walkthrough to make sure I hadn't missed something and found out it was broken. I just chose an option that immediately ended the quest chain rather than have it permanently gently caress around with my empire. Maybe in 1.5.2 when they get around to it...

Has anyone gotten the bug since the patch where an empire will declare war on you, but then it puts you down as the attacker? Like the warlike birdmen to my north declared war, with the wargoal of taking all of my planets, but the game required me to set my own wargoals, and then had my side listed as the attacker.

Random rear end in a top hat posted:I loving love Hive Minds, all I want from the next expansion is the option to go full Prethoryn and have biological ships. A hive mind expansion would be great, but they need access to at least one trait so they won't all be the Same Thing with slightly different but compatible unfathomable FTL psychic brain networks. It wouldn't even have to conform to the normal grid, just some sort of personality trait to give hives a more focused playstyle. Some ideas that don't trample on anything non-hives already do: A Hungry hive which converts conquered non-hive species to livestock rather than just purging them while generating higher threat with neighbors. A Nurturing hive which takes care of individuals it conquers and can accept refugees, but conquered/adopted non-hive pops don't benefit from happiness and receive... I dunno, a -25% output on food/energy/minerals and a -50% on science tiles? Just because they just don't comprehend what it is the Hive Mind is trying to accomplish at any given moment. A Curious hive perhaps with bonus chance to find anomalies but possibly restricted from choosing non-risky options on some of them (like the plant pheromones one, or shooting the ghost science ship) because it wants to see what happens. An Empathic hive with a lessened Hive Mind diplomacy penalty and/or faster trust growth, which can't fight aggressive wars. A Faithful hive which knows it was created for a purpose and is simply biding time to fulfill it, which receives a bonus on defensive wars but possibly can't turn down demands from one of the game's fallen empire and/or whom immediately allies with (or gets to choose to ally with) the prethoryn scourge. A Psychic hive with access to the psychic tree rather than the genetic engineering tree. A Parasitic hive which automatically converts conquered pops into hive minded ones but whom all the neighbors (even other hive minds) loathe. A Collective hive that can chose a single leader agenda/bonus every 50 years or so but which doesn't have an immortal leader. An Inscrutable hive, which is exactly what we have now. No bonuses or penalties, players can do whatever they feel like. Basically I want hives to have a reason to dislike one another and more excuses for non-hive races to like (or hate) them. Hive DLC when?  Edit: Hey, Wiz, QOL idea: instead of building and then upgrading buildings, can we build the maximum-rank building the population/government building currently permits (for the combined cost) and upgrade from there as necessary? My hand is starting to ache and it would save so much clicking. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Apr 15, 2017 |

I've only encountered one thing that screws with Ether Drakes by modding, and it's in Chinese; http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=828731704 I have to imagine that trying to use this on an English installation just would break the damm thing.

You can become a single intelligence running on a trillion psychic brains, or accidentally yourself into the Borg.

Mayor Dave posted:So there appears to be a bug with unlocking the full psychic potential of client species in your empire. It makes the unlocked species into your primary species and resets your primary species rights to the default. I had a single solitary planet full of xenos and they're now the primary species over my space elves living on 20 worlds. This happened to me, too, it's weird and annoying.

They don't like you settling tomb worlds, disturbing the graves of the dead and all that. The ocean world is a bit weird, but I guess you could handwave it as a punishment for breaking the no tomb worlds rule.

GlyphGryph posted:The Unity stuff is meant as a buff for Empires that want to focus on internal development instead of expansion. It makes perfect sense for internally focused empires to be able to develop a broad array of traditions to streamline and optimize their society. It's not meant to be a differentiator between different internally focused empires, it's supposed to differentiate internally focused empires from ones that are not so much and have to choose. Honestly, I'd like to see more ways to get ascension perks. I know Utopia Expanded added more available researchable perk slots, but something else, too, like killing leviathans gives you a slot, maybe a rare event with a high trust curator could give you one, etc etc.

Personally, I think they could make the Civic system handle that--in fact, that's probably how Civics should work to begin with. More things like Fanatic Purifiers. Game changing differences. Like a Parliamentary civic that gives factions more power/influence on the empire and the ability to force policy changes, (maybe even needing parliamentary approval to go to war, etc). Though you could probably separate them out--Major Civics as the game changers, and Minor Civics as the numbers, just so buggy things wouldn't happen by stacking game changers.

I feel like Fallen Empires awaken way too early in the game based on fleet power. In the last four games I've played (split over this patch and the last), one FE has awoken before the crisis in every single one. This kind of bugs me because an Awakened Empire is a way bigger threat to the galaxy than the crises because the crises Empires take a while to get rolling, whereas the Awakened Empires go from 0-100 right away. It often takes a while to build up to take on an Awakened Empire if they awaken early on, but once you've done that you have a huge fleet that then trivialises whatever crisis then shows up about thirty years later. I feel like awakening needs to come much later, with a corresponding further boost in the threat level of the AE.
