Feature request: a ship module (maybe for Titans or Colossi?) that allow other ships in the fleet to perform non-hyperlane jump drive jumps without the corresponding combat penalties, but with a large enough base energy consumption that whatever ship running the module is pretty much defenseless.

Jump tenders would only work if you could specifically target them. Wonder if we'll get more detailed combat stances.

axeil posted:1.10 Version 1.1 was the first major rework of the game released way back in 2016. I don't think that would've worked... I mean 1.9 could also been lumped in with the 1.8 iterations since it only added the Humanoid pack and nothing else but think of how nice it is having 2.0 line up with all these major changes.

Version numbers aren’t decimals silly 2.0 definitely feels right for this though. Honestly I think the distinction between Stellaris 2.0 and Stellaris 2 is kind of arbitrary anyway, I bought Railworks in a winter sale years ago and as a result I get the new version of Train Simulator 201X every year because it’s sold as a new “version” each year but they patch owners’ old versions to the new one every year.

I've been debating getting this for ages since I was badly burned by CK II and like all paradox games, the cost of all the DLC is ludicrous. Yet, after seeing the Apocalypse DLC coming up and the various stories I've heard about what you can actually do in the game, I'm going to look up an LP of this and make a decision. I've been playing Space Empires IV for a while and I really want a game that scratches that space sandbox role playing itch that no other 4X game I've ever played can. If this game can come close, I might find the price worth it.

Currently you can warp in/out of a system from anywhere to anywhere, so you never have to go through a system to get from A to B. But after 2.0 each connecting system will have a designated warp point just like in space empires. Ships hyper in, travel across the system to the next gate, and off they go. This will allow you to actually intercept ships and set up defensive fleets finally. Just wait a month maybe, the base game and a bunch of the DLC will probably be on a nice sale for the release of the new one.

Milky Moor posted:New Stellaris event. I like to think that it's just an increasingly wobbly set of planetwide scaffolding and every time you activate the edict they add another layer. If you dig too far down you fall through the floor and land 40km down on the previous planetary surface. It also has a slight chance to roll morlock attacks.

I got a bit further into the game and started a new ironman so I could start fresh. I'm doing fine and kicked the asses of several pirates and mine drones and stuff. I made a fanatically materialist culture of peaceful fungus people who breed slowly but live for a long time. They are ruled by a philosopher king.

The game already uses "Susamen" as a star name so I don't see why they can't let us build shellworlds.

So I've been playing with a galaxy filled entirely with races I've created myself (barring the Fallen Empires whom I can't customize) and it's wonderful. No more having to remember which of the Whatzit Unified Commonwealth or the Whozit Common Unity is friendly and which hates my guts. Hey, it's The Green Death! Gotta watch out for those fanatic purifier plants. They're real bastards. Even better, I can create some pre-made storylines. I'm playing as Terrans lost out in the galaxy, while another faction of Terrans (same pic, same stats) gets the Sol package. Those other Terrans got overrun by religious Fanatic Purifiers and I just came charging in from the rim to liberate Earth. So satisfying.

Welp, went to Paradox and saw that the whole bunch of stuff I could get for like 1/3rd of the Steam price and I can activate it on Steam. Thanks fuckers, my bank account now hates you. On the plus side, my weekend is sorted.

Your bank account will thank you after it greatly increases in value because you spent 600 hours on the game and didn't spend money on anything else. Totally worth it.

Tomn posted:Attaching Jedi to your armies was kinda fun, but individually attaching each and every army with their special sauce was bullshit. I think the only time I saw it actually pay off was in multiplayer where I had filled a planet with military academy trained, Very Strong gene-warriors for some reason then one of my friends attempted to invade the planet using a blob of regular assault armies, not having noticed. It turned out that the Planet of the Super Murderers was still quite capable of killing everyone trying to invade even with the debuff from bombardment, this then induced a years long delay in progression as they tried to build up more troops and theoretically could have allowed me time to replenish or build up my fleet? But that was a super niche case.

As someone who never got multiplayer to work, how do machine empires and their special troops work out in it? I assume machine players try to research titans as fast as possible, since the ability to poo poo out dozens of titans on command is incredibly powerful. Edit: Wow, I imagine in future this post will sound really confusing if Wiz doesn't rename either titans (ships) or titans (ground troops).

GotLag posted:"Your bio-trophies are willing participants, are they not? Please say they are willing." That's one of my favorite lines in the game. I really wish I knew how to make a mod. I really want to make an ice cream robot race based off that "Eat the ice cream" commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4IFNKYmLa8 Things it needs: --Updated diplomatic text, which should add the responses "<race> require ice cream," "Eat the ice cream," and "Everyone you know is gone." --An ice cream cone icon --[Optional but really nice to have] A portrait to look like the robots from the commercial. I would put them in as a required spawn in every game.
