darthbob88 posted:FTFY. IIRC Wiz said it'd run into diminishing returns and bigger planets wouldn't get quite as much benefit, but still, 1 free space would be nice. It sounds like it's a good way to almost guaranteed be able to get planets up to 10 or more which is going to open up a lot more planets.

Presumably the planet would get some kind of "Embiggened" modifier that persists upon changing hands, blocking any further attempts to infuse it with noble spirit.

Shugojin posted:It sounds like it's a good way to almost guaranteed be able to get planets up to 10 or more which is going to open up a lot more planets. Some time ago galaxy generation was adjusted so that the minimum habitable planet size that can spawn is 10, and it sounds like you'll be able to add 3 tiles to them once you take that Perk. The only time I've seen planets with less than 10 tiles spawn is when a random event creates one or you find a really lovely terraforming candidate. Still, size 10 planets are barely worth colonizing as it is so the ability to make them bigger will be welcome. As will making bigger planets even bigger.

Glad that Mastery of Nature is changing. It's going from a 'must-have' unless you are doing a tall science build into a nice to have. I do hope the streams will make their way onto YouTube.

Having an odd bug here, and I'm hoping someone can give me advice on how to deal with it. It's late in the game, and the Prethoryn have shown up. I'm kicking their ugly asses, but one of their fleets sneaks past and bombards/invades a vassal's planet. I send a fleet with transports to retake it, and while we're fighting the pops all die, transforming the planet into a scourge-infested world. All of the armies stay on the planet, though; a few weeks later, I get a message that we've occupied the planet, and most of the armies return to space, leaving behind a "garrison" that I cannot control. I can't bombard the planet, either, since it's considered occupied. The Prethoryn seem uninterested in retaking it (they even built some of their bases in the system, so they apparently don't see a problem), so there's nothing I can do with that planet as far as I can tell. Has anyone seen this happen before? Any ideas about how to fix it? I'm guessing that, even if I cleanse the Scourge from the rest of the galaxy, that planet will remain, meaning I can never actually defeat the crisis. Haven't gotten to that point yet, however.

Nonsense, swapping planets back and forth is a perfectly cromulent strategy! IAmTheRad posted:Knowing the release date gives me optimism that this month is going to be full of the bugfixing of the major bugs coming with 2.0. It's a pretty huge shift yeah, demonstrated by going from 1.9 to 2.0 instead of 1.10. Hell CK2 has been out for six years (loving christ) and is on like 2.7 or something, and EU4 has been out four or five years and is on 1.25. They don't move out of 1.x lightly, is my point!

You could try to keep that save around until Apocalypse drops, and then try to blow it up. Doesn't work if your save breaks due to the update, of course.

Attaching Jedi to your armies was kinda fun, but individually attaching each and every army with their special sauce was bullshit. And it made no difference because either you invade with utterly overwhelming force, or you didn't invade at all.

I know they were completely superfluous, especially when you could always overwhelm your opponent with that weird damage boost against defending units. I never understood why that was a thing.Aethernet posted:They still exist, just as buffs to particular troop types you can research, I believe. But yeah, this is fine.

AG3 posted:Do you have a TL;DR? Spoilers, obviously: After a massive, near-eternal WW1-in-space hellwar that has left both sides completely exhausted, the more-or-less victorious and more-or-less democratic Alliance finds themselves with a problem - the long war has led to widespread distrust in civilian leadership both in the populace at large and in the military itself, and for the last few years of the war there have been constant fears of a military coup. This problem has not been improved any since the victory was due to the efforts of an officer who had achieved near-legendary status for various reasons, and despite his constant insistence that he has no interest in political leadership many still fear he'll become dictator - or be forced to become one by zealous officers. The solution the Senate ended up adopting after much wrangling and dispute? Create a hypermodern AI-controlled fleet that answers only to the government and whose loyalty can thus be totally relied upon. Turns out programming is harder than it sounds and bugs in the code end up causing the fleet to go rogue and randomly attack pretty much anything while not allowing anyone to get close enough to bugfix them. Note that we're not talking about AI with personalities, we're talking patch notes from Sword of the Stars 2 only applied to battlefleet decision-making. Also it's unrelated to the AI subplot specifically, but the fact that it takes minutes or even hours for orders to be transmitted from one ship to another is a constant and important factor throughout the books.

So I decided to fire up a one planet strategy run as a race of deeply curious space mantis shrimp who just really likes their home ocean and never saw any need to physically go anywhere else, instead sending drones to do all of their work for them. It's going super well, I've got a couple of the galaxies arms under the thrall of my mantis shrimp exclusive economic zone, and I'm building my science Nexus now. Except just now, in the territory of my slightly hostile neighbor, Sol decided to spawn a newly space capable Human Interstellar Republic. Who immediately asked to be my Protectorate since my mantis shrimp are egalitarian and charismatic.  I can only assume the mantis shrimp think these hairless monkeys are incredibly adorable, and plan to conquer the stars on their behalf. For you, adorable monkey pets, we will leave our oceans. Step one, let's arrange for some of those nasty authoritarian space bird planets to change hands...
