Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
It is weird that the price doesn't appear on Steam until it's actually released. I guess Steam says you can only put a price up if you're pre-ordering?

Yep this is the Correct Opinion that goons repeated for the past 2 years on these forums, and I'll just throw out that unfortunately others disagree and feel SR2 is boring bullshit that looked promising but played horribly and had irredeemable mechanics - not a flawed gem that was sadly overlooked.

Sorry about your objectively terrible appreciation for game design then.

as a guy with the tiniest budget ever how much is the new dlc? I went to the steam page to see and it doesn't have a price? I guess I am glad its free, that fits in my budget.
£7 if you're in the UK, which is very generous. Paradox realising we've suffered enough, perhaps.

So I've played Stellaris a bit and I've been invited to play with some friends this weekend to celebrate the new expansion. Question: If I build a machine empire that cannibalizes biologicals will I be able to ally with them if they're bio or will that rule stay in force?

It think as long as you're not playing purifiers/exterminators you can ally with human players no matter what. You'll still have to put in the work for AI empires though. I know I've allied with buddies that were totally opposite ethics except for when they went with purifiers.

It's been explained that making new ship assets is like the most work intensive thing for Paradox artists.

Modders get away with slapping a 3d model and calling it a day, but Paradox ones need to be modular with all the parts and a bunch of mounts and stuff. Even things like the fallen empire ship models aren't up to snuff to the point where Paradox would release them as things the players could use.

Personally, that being the case, I wish they hadn't bothered with all that modular/mounts crap, 'cause i just want neat different looking ships and don't care about swapping out a tapering vs a blunt prow or whatever.

There are robot ships. I'm giving it t-minus 15 minutes before someone does a pallet swap to make it playable.

Bloody Pom

There are already mods to make AI crisis ships playable, but they are pretty lacking. All the crisis/fallen empire ships use generic models for civilian ships, and none of them have varying appearances based on selected cores or visible hardpoints.

They work well for what they're used for, but I understand why Paradox don't think they're up to snuff for player empires.

I have a habitat question.

Suppose I build a habitat above a planet which through a series of events becomes a tomb world. If I colonize the planet, what happens to my habitat?

Nothing. Your problem however is you won't be able to build a spaceport.
