What. I. What.
That makes so little sense it's not even making no sense. It's making unsense.

How do you "hide" by moving into an environment where your signature sticks out from the background like a sore thumb?

How do you get "heated" by a "planet with a molten surface"?
Through its prodigous infrared output?

Wtf is this poo poo?

I think what the original guy was trying to get across is that pirates could hide in the "shadow" of these heat signatures with their weapons online and heated.
Yes I know it still does not make sense.

It's really exciting, and I've been getting back into the Paradox game vibe by playing the Warhammer mod for CK2 that's a lot of fun.

Are you kidding me, I had no idea there was a Warhammer mod. And it's Warhammer Fantasy Battle, not that 40k shite (ducks)

Beer, I shall be joining you in the warm up to Stellaris launch, just as soon as I get at least one day's work done this week...

I don't know the specifics of why I was banned either (sending a mystery PM that they refuse to disclose to me). Since he's in the mood to play the whole "we're so awesome at moderating" card I'm gonna see if I can get any details out of him.

They're about as open about their moderation as they are about their development, I'm surprised they don't make you sign an NDA when you get banned.

Yeah, I need to get some for my dog but for different reasons. his pupils no longer dilate due to a tumor so I'm concerned he's going to get even more hurt when it's bright outside.

Curious about this. My extent to 40k was liking Dawn of War with that Dawn of Skirmish AI mod that was ridiculous (to this day).

Warhammer fantasy basically seems like the exact same thing as 40k, except ACTUAL roman empire slash tolkien setting

What am i missing out on here and why? I tried to listen to horus rising on audiotape and it put me to sleep, so I'm curious about WH Fantasy.
