I've started playing around with the star trek mod and it's really good! Ambitious, even. One of the loading screen quotes was that zap brannigan line about making it with a woman attributed to gul dukat and I thought that was really funny. All the changes seem kind of overwhelming, though, is there a newbie guide anywhere?

Has anyone here had success with Barbaric Despoilers? Their raiding stance seems really lacklustre to me, since you lose migrations and could just eat the planet the normal way. It's a shame when the RP is so strong in this one.

For defense platforms I tend to go with large-size railgun types until I get kinetic artillery and replace the railguns with those. An even mixture of shields and armor, with targeting computers or whatever the +5 hit chip thing is, until I possibly get enigmatic stuff and then switch to that.

Defense platforms is max ion cannons all the time. Reposting for the new page since I’m still stuck on it: Nightgull posted:Is it only possible to selectively genocide purge pops? I want to abandon a planet that I can’t really make use of but don’t want to get rid of the entire species that lives on it - most of them are slaves on my other planets. But selecting purge all on planet does the skull face purge, which I assume will make everyone pissed at me, including my overwhelming ally. Should probably say “is it possible to selectively displace purge pops?”

Well yes, I guess I mean until you get to citadel with ion cannon tech, the suggestions work for non-citadels.

You're not a full genocidal empire, but you're kinda leaning that way, and so it creates a situation where you need to deal with people generally not liking you but not -1000 opinion's worth of not liking you, which creates challenges to deal with - other empires declaring wars of ideology against you for example. Also I don't really like playing wide, so I found the idea of abducting slaves back to my few core systems to be fun.

Some determined exterminators spawned nearby. 2 guys attacked them later on, and I thought it would be a good idea to dogpile 'em with my best buddy. There's just one problem: my best buddy gets all the conquered star systems, altough I do the conquering. I tried to lay claims on planets but game says I can't lay claims. Why does that happen, and how can I get the planets for myself? Try to get a peace and after the cooldown leave my buddy out of the war? My war weariness is so high though my only option for ending the war is surrendering to the exterminators...

Gyshall posted:How are you goons outfitting your platforms? I usually go with a even mix of weapon tiers, with small/small, medium/missles, heavy/PD, and then variants (for pulsars or other systems where I want to specialize) My first run platforms early on are s and g sections with 2x kinetics, 2x lasers, and 2x missiles, they seem effective

Ihmemies posted:Some determined exterminators spawned nearby. 2 guys attacked them later on, and I thought it would be a good idea to dogpile 'em with my best buddy. Wars with determined exterminators are a type of Total War, where any system you take is instantly yours, claims aren't involved at all. I'd guess what is happening here is that while you took the system, your buddy is the one actually invading the planets, and planet ownership trumps system ownership. You having 100% war exhaustion just means THEY can force YOU to accept a status quo. You don't have to surrender, and you can keep fighting until either they enforce the status quo or you get them to 100% exhaustion -- at which point you can force a status quo.

You can't make claims against 'genocidal' empires like Determined Exterminator. If your ships are the ones that destroy the starbase, and you capture any planets, the systems should go to you automatically. If they're going to your ally instead despite the ally not participating in the system taking that seems like a bug? Also, are you unable to status quo peace? If you surrender to a determined exterminator I'm pretty sure your game is over. Edit: also what kujeger said.

Might be he claimed the systems earlier, before the Exterminators took them. I guess then they would go to him?

Yes. Also if you own something and then lose it you get a bunch of free claims on it.

This also leads to the stupid "your claims on them" negative opinion modifier that can get quite significant at times. Also happens when your vassals lay claims, though I think they might have fixed that in the latest patch, or plan to?

Last time I was involved in a total war, capturing systems gave them to whichever empire was closest. If the system bordered me, I got it. If it bordered my Exterminator buddies, they got it.

That's one of my issues - if you're going biomancy, you can just create your own tailor-made pops. Getting more people is nice, but you're still burning time modeling them into what you need, and you kill a civic for it. Next DLC is gonna be supremely interesting for this.

Shadowlyger posted:Last time I was involved in a total war, capturing systems gave them to whichever empire was closest. If the system bordered me, I got it. If it bordered my Exterminator buddies, they got it. Here's an image:  Exterminators had a bastion in Chatiib. My buddies up there decided it's too tough nut to crack when war started, so they sent all their fleets on a years-long grand detour to circle the bastion. While they were doing that, I started conquering from Jaltham and got all the red circled areas on bottom right. I built a shipyard on Serpess to fix my fleet (because I was lazy), and while at it my buddies finally got there and went to Pentarum. In Pentarum they killed the starbase but didn't had transports to conquer the planet, so I conquered it with my troops, and the rest of the systems systems in blue color, starting from Pentarum. Every system and planet I took flipped to my buddies immediately. I could just roll over the rest of the exterminator planets which they still have in yellow, but I don't want to do it if my buddies get all of them. Did they have claims on those blue circled planets or what, how can I know so I won't make any more mistakes? I'm not that benevolent that I would give rest of the planets to them...

I loaded an earlier autosave, went to claims mode and hovered over every planet. Seems they have all those planets claimed. Doh. Seems they'll get Erdosca, Tir and some other planets still but I can get the rest. Well if I don't like the arrangement, I can get the planets for myself later (probably). Seems that it's best to hover over every planet before going to war so you know what will happen with the systems. Edit: apparently even the unclaimed systems go to my buddies. Welp and status quo has -9 modifier and they won't accept peace. Time to peace out with my fleets then and see how my buddy fares solo vs exterminators, they still have a 9,5k fleet left.

I was in a federation with a few AIs, went to war, did all the work killing a FE and a fed member who didn't even share a border got most of the systems because he plopped down some claims during the war. I was pissed so I started a new game over it (it was almost over anyways).

Senor Dog posted:Yes. Every way in fact I could never figure out Victoria'a economy, with like 20 different types of pops, all of which needed a different amount of 50 different goods and could only do certain things. I'd build a factory that made stuff my pops needed, it would make money for the first two months and then go out of business, and I could never figure out why it made a difference whether there were 5271 Bengali clergy in Calcutta or 5352. In other words, I found the Vic and Vic2 pop and economy systems overly granular and opaque.
