Was just watching someone stream the new expansion. He declared war against someone and slaughtered their ships. The enemy reached 100% war exhaustion and tried to surrender (I think) but the guy streaming didn't notice the notification. He stayed at war until his own was exhaustion reached 100% and got an automatic status quo peace.

It was really unclear what had happened since he was winning - I feel like if the enemy reaches 100% before you and you don't notice, the surrender should be forced rather than the status quo being forced once both sides are at 100%.

Why has nobody made a Freespace ship pack yet?

Freespace's ship classes being loving weird might have something to do with it, honestly. Cruisers are the smallest and destroyers the largest, with corvettes and frigates in between :thunk:

Doesnt really matter - there is one but it has mostly funky models ive not seen outside of FS mods and doesnt seem to include any of the iconic ones, like the Orion.

Really the only issue with making a Freespace pack are, as mentioned, the fact that they have four divisions of capital ships and Stellaris (now) has five. The conversion would look something like this:

Stellaris Corvettes = Freespace Cruisers
Stellaris Destroyers = Freespace ????
Stellaris Cruisers = Freespace Corvettes
Stellaris Battleships = Freespace Destroyers
Stellaris Colossus/Sathanas Ships = Freespace Titans

You'd probably have to make something from scratch for Stellaris Destroyers or borrow from a mod.

Civilian ships are built on planets. They are automatically updated with the most advanced components you've researched, so they don't need to be designed.

The early game at least is so much better than before. You're very limited by the science ship exploration speed and the cost of outposts that you need to build everywhere, so there's a very real reason to decide which direction you want to expand into. Way slower and more methodical than the old system of sending your frigates to circle the whole galaxy and just grabbing the best planets wherever they are.

How in the hell did the Fleet Manager get released in such a hosed up state? In no way share or form should a button labeled "Delete Template" completely disband your entire fleet. Or less critically, why create a separate line item for each variant of the same design name even when none exist yet and an upgrade hasn't been queued?

Anyone else getting the sound muffled/bugged on ship designer? Thought it was fixed with 1.9 but seems back in 2.0

E: Seems to only happen if I open the ship designer when on galaxy map. Not happening if opening on System map.

The popup window when clicking disband template should explicity say that you are deleting the fleet, too. Does it not?

Well unless you're doing the NSC version..

At least for a straight up Terran side of the GTVA set:

Corvettes = Fenris/Leviathan
Destroyers = Aeolus (You could swap this with the Fenris/Leviathan if you liked)
Cruisers = Deimos
Battleships = Orion / Hecate
And of course then you have the Colossus.

FS1 can be much more difficult, of course.

Easy enough to draw up a Vasudan side considering they have their equivalent Aten/Sobek/Typhon etc etc. Only odd one out would be Colossus but they were an equal partner in that.

A GTVA set for NSC would be varied and awesome. though.

It does, but I had selected the second line that had 0 ships associated with it because I wanted to remove that line from the list. I didn't think it was going to disband every single ship, including those I hadn't selected in the list.
